"Who made the decision iamharrysong? You? The other parent? Or the court? Who made the decision for you to have full custody of minor children and only grant their mother access, when you wish. You guys get away with silliness when you are in Nigeria. Why depriving a mother the opportunity to have a meaningful and loving relationship with her children just as much as you have?"

"When Love is not enough."

"3yrs old baby Harrysong you're a wicked man."

"But if Harrysong can’t provide for those kids, how will the children cope? That lady shouldn’t be chasing clout."
@eveiyke commented:
"Some Nigeria are very diabolical, how can you collect children from their mother and give them to another woman. No nobody can look after a child better than the mother."
