I want to fight everyone except Nani because, they failed her.
1, The gateman could have kept better watch and report back to the parent. Nani was just a baby.
2. The mother failed her so badly. I understand focusing on your business, but just letting your daughter go without verifying why is foul. It's giving a nonchalant and selfish parent.
3. Ugo gets a pass because she's still young. I think she tried her best.
4. For someone who claims to know Nani and her siblings a lot, I'm surprised Aunty did not notice that something was wrong.
5. Ephraim may you rot in jail. Such a cruel man.
The only thing that brings me peace is that Nani and her kids are thriving. And that she renamed them. I hated those names they were called.
