Popular football player Odion Jude Ighalo’s wife Sonia Ighalo has spoken about her reasons for divorcing him.
Sonia before now has said that she will not be a party to any social media fights with her ex-husband and she has been advised by senior friends, spiritual parents and people she holds in high regard to back down from the fight.
However, what she is doing this time is to set records straight so she can move on with her life
The mother of three said in an Instagram post that she didn’t quit her husband because she was sick of arguing with him, but rather because she made the decision to leave the marriage for the benefit of her kids.
She asked married women to become stronger advocates for themselves in her post as she hopes to use a bigger platform in the future to help women stand up for themselves, saying Marriage is to enjoy and not endure.
She also urged married ladies to make sure their mother-in-laws don’t enter and take over their houses.
“I also want to use this opportunity to encourage every woman out there. I read a few of your messages… Sis, let no one intimidate you, let no evil MIL control your home. Stand up for yourself and your children.
Remember, Luke 10:19 says GOD has given us power to tread against scorpions and serpents. Be prayerful, trust me. If not for prayers and my boldness, I would have been forgotten by now. I chose to walk out of my marriage not because I was tired of fighting but because I chose my children over marriage. Remember, I got married at 19, and I invested so much in my marriage as a real African woman who would do anything to see her husband succeed.
Flashback to when a famous Naija actress who married an Edo man came to the house in 2018. She called me aside and said, “Sonia, be very prayerful.” Those who have the spirit to see beyond the physical would understand what she meant. I laughed, but within me, I said they cannot kill an ONLY CHILD who has an assignment on earth. I hear people saying she’s pained and broke bla bla bruh, go ask them, I was born with a SILVER SPOON.
I promise to open a platform in the future to help and encourage women who are going through hell in their marital home. They need to speak up. Remember, marriage Is to enjoy, not to endure. Thanks once again for your kind words and prayers. God bless you all.”
These two have been divorced for a while now and since then they have never agreed on anything, as far as we can see on the internet. They seem to argue over little issues and this one fight has lasted longer than the previous ones.
While married their union was blessed with three children and they share joint custody.
None of them has attempted to remarry since then and as of the time of this report we are not aware if either of them is in any romantic relationship.
