Many people supported the grandma

@lisavetaccessories said:

"She only came back for the child because she hasn't being able to conceive with her husband.Someone probably adviced her that she is suffering a curse of barrenness because she abandoned her first child.She has zero love for that child and If she takes the child from his grandma by force she will still suffer. She should have come begging and start taking care of the child for starters."

@claraonwuta said:

"My concern is why does she want to take the child to her second marriage. The child belongs to the ex-husband family. If she truly cares for the little baby and has money as claimed she should take care of his school fees and feeding while the child is still under the custody of the grandmother, that will help to build that love and trust back. Everything is not all about money, can she pay off the emotional moment, the sleepless night the sacrifice this woman has put in through seven years."

"This grandma cannot bear to lose the only family she has left . I can understand why she doesn’t want to release the child. This matter to tough oo. This grandma can die if that child is taken away."

@mossybeddingsinteriors_outlet said:

"I stand with grandma. If it’s not greed and selfishness, why is she back after 7 years to come a claim a child you abandoned with no remorse or reason. That boy is going no where . I’m sure if she’d given birth to another child, she won’t remember that she abandoned one child somewhere. The Heart of a Human is Desperately wicked."

@mmasinaobi_1 said:

"Even Abroad the court will give full custody to the grandma and still make her pay Child support to the grandma."

@folukedaramolasalako said:
