Popular social media commentator, Solomon Buchi has come out to blast Obi Cubana after he declared his biological son his next of kin because his adopted son, Chidi gave himself that title. He recently had his say via his social media page, and Nigerians have been reacting.
According to him, coming online to make declarations because of a cheeky post by his adopted son is a very irresponsible thing to do, and Obi Cubana could have easily asked Chidi to take his controversial post down.
Buchi added that Nigerian parents should stop adopting children if they will never fail to remind them that they can’t be treated like their blood.
His words, “Coming online to declare your biological son next of kin because of a cheeky post by your adopted son is irresponsible and crass. Obi Cubana could have easily asked him to take the post down, but he decided to publicly remind his adopted son of “his place”. Don’t adopt children if you will not see and treat them like your blood.
I’ve seen Nigerian men defend Obi Cubana, claiming that the adopted son should have known his place. “His place” doesn’t exist because he’s his father’s son. Adoption means legally taking another child as yours, so an adopted son should have ALL the rights and privileges of a SON.
The adopted son said nothing out of line, because a week ago, Obi Cubana made a post addressing his sons as next-of-kins. So, the boy probably made the TikTok video on that premise. Publicly throwing him under the bus shows lack of total acceptance.
May I use this opportunity to school Nigerians, especially my fellow Igbos, that adoption is not a favour; you shouldn’t treat your adopted children like they begged you to adopt them. If you can’t treat them like blood, don’t adopt them.”
WOW.
