warmliving __”I am very sure this was the idea of Obi Cubana’s wife cause naturally, no igbo woman seat and watch a non biological son become the next of jin over her own legitimate son. Even if she’s quiet about it. Her friend ‘s will pressure her ti do something about it… I am 100 Obi didnt post this himself but he approved it for peace to reign.”
