Sonia Ighalo, Jude Ighalo’s ex-wife, has been outspoken about their rocky marriage, sharing her experiences and opinions on social media.
Sonia advises women not to allow anyone, including in-laws, to intimidate or control them. She emphasises the importance of sticking up for oneself and one’s children.
She emphasises the necessity of being powerful and prayerful by using the Bible text Luke 10:19.
She tells her personal story of marrying Jude at the age of 19 and putting a lot of effort into the marriage, which is a common attitude among many African women who want to see their spouses prosper. Sonia’s choice to leave the marriage was motivated by her children, not a lack of battling spirit.
She intends to establish a forum to assist women in difficult relationships, emphasising that marriage should be pleasant, not simply tolerable. Sonia expresses her gratitude to everyone for their love and prayers at this difficult time.
Sonia previously accused Jude of cheating on her with Nollywood actresses and a Big Brother Niger contestant. Her most recent post implies that, despite his reported indiscretions, his primary problem was with his mother. Sonia continues to share her experience, offering advice and support to others in similar situations.
