The woman alleged that the most recent incident happened during a condolence visit for the late Chioma Obi \u2014 Mikel\u2019s sister, where she and her children were reportedly pushed and publicly embarrassed.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI have done nothing wrong to this entire family,\u201d she said. \u201cThe level of hatred these people have for me is on comparison\u2026 They hate their own offspring. Like hate their own children.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Soccer Viral video sparks mixed reactions online<\/h2>\n

She repeatedly called for \u201cjustice\u201d and challenged the Obi family to explain her alleged wrongdoing publicly.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cEnough is enough\u2026 I want my name cleared. Everybody should go their separate ways,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She also warned other women: \u201cNo matter how much you love a man, if his family doesn\u2019t love you, stay away from that relationship. You\u2019re wasting your hell of a time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
