The businesswoman directed her message squarely at what she described as "emergency friends" who only appeared in Iyabo Ojo's life seeking relevance.
In her words: "Iyabo Ojo is my junior sister and she will remain till Christ come back, she will choose me over."
The post came after Iyabo Ojo drew backlash for inviting Obanla Lizzy to her grandson's birthday celebration, a decision that some critics questioned, given Obanla's history as Lizzy Anjorin's former godmother.
