“This is not just an individual problem anymore; this is a societal issue.”
Continuing Obinabo said that the that the Apprentice woes the unsuspecting girls by promising them of marriage when he becomes wealthy after serving his master.
Obinabo however contended ; “What kind of charm or psychological power is this?”

We need help, both spiritual and psychological if necessary.”she noted .
