Nana Yiadom commented:

"Family matters are like marriage issues. If you are saying some, be careful because you don't know tomorrow. Now Adwoa Safo has reunited with her blood brother, what will Osebo say? Now Osebo, who was supporting Adwoa Safo and saying all manner of things about Akofena, what will he say now? Tomorrow is indeed pregnant."

"Aww, this is so touching. My heart is finally at peace. Thank you very much, my queen, for this great move. May our living God bless both you and Nana Kwadwo so that you both will rule in peace and unity. This is the best news so far since the passing of the great One."
