Nollywood actress, Rita Edochie has warned those criticising her over the death of comedian, Ada Jesus that they “will be next” if they do not desist.
The actress posted a video on her Instagram showing a young man defending her for not forgiving Ada Jesus when she begged for forgiveness for defaming her.
According to her, “For those of you still talking anyhow, you will be next on the line. I don’t know this boy, but I want to thank you so much for saying the truth, my mind and that of my family.”

Ada Jesus had accused Rita Edochie of sleeping with several men and conniving with Prophet Odumeje of staging miracles in the latter’s church.
Edochie and Odumeje vowed not to forgive Ada Jesus but after so much public pressure and pleas from the the deceased’s family, they forgave her.
Unfortunately, Ada Jesus still died of the kidney disease that afflicted her.
In his defence of Edochie, the unnamed young man posted his position on Rita’s page that, “We have lost our norms but people no longer respect the elderly people because of social media. Because we are all on Facebook, you feel it is somewhere we can easily type and insult people without realising that there is still reality after this social media stuff.
“This is somebody who is old enough to be your mother. To some of you out there, she is even old enough to be your grandmother; but because you have smart phones, you go out there typing rubbish, insulting somebody. It feels so bad to even think of the whole thing.
“The issue between that woman and Ada Jesus, if it is not for the hypocrisy of most of you Nigerians, if you placed your mother in that woman’s shoes, if that little girl of that age would come out publicly to say all those manner of things concerning your mother, to tarnish her image. Someone of that calibre, imagine Ada Jesus coming out to say that your mum comes to ask her to connect her to men, how would you feel ?
“So because of that once that she did not forgive her instantly, she now becomes a bad person. You totally forgot all that the girl has been doing to her. You forgot how long her image has been tarnished. It is not fair. The women went back home, slept over it and then forgave her. So what is the big deal there ?
The young man added that there may be people waiting for Ada Jesus to recover from her illness to sue her for the same kind of defamation.
He concluded by saying that, “If not hypocrisy on the part of most people that are commenting, most of you perpetrate more evil than what you are accusing those people of. Please let’s call a spade a spade; If we see the truth, let us say the the truth. The girl went extremely far.”
