Lesbian Janet Ayoka. That's not her pic, she is the one with the red braids and suit. She is so bisexual and dull. If she wins then at least something good will come out of her life instead of fucking girls up and down. I think she was in project fame lastyr and was bounced after girls in d house reported that she stares at them and plays with their boobs jokingly. She is a fucking Lesbian, we all at Jakande estate know this. She was caught red handed one time by her big sis. Stupid cunt licker
