YEN.com.gh has compiled some reactions below:
Nyame Ye stated:
"Looks like she's still holding onto something that doesn't want to be held on, an individual has never bothered to smile in any of your pictures with him from day 1, Nyame nkye ade, mose mo agyai & you're saying this?
Samuel Amoh commented:
"Woman of wisdom."
Her Empresscy Abena stated:
"Really loved her for not speaking English."
Beatrice Antwi stated:
"Wow, women of wisdom."
Redpen Nii Kwame Alcatel stated:
"Simple ..she is not hungry, so she sees divorce peacefully, but as she said, a jobless woman or a lazy woman may see divorce as the end of the road. Women should not forget to invest in themselves. The same people will be running the court drama. Marriage should carry some level of value."

"Bold, strong and knowledgeable, I like the way she handles issues with wisdom."
Richard Asare commented:
"Bathing in romance after a fight is sweet, Papa."

"That's the wisdom of a woman who was trained in an Asante home. Full of wisdom and humility and understanding."
