Sonia Ighalo, ex-wife of Jude Ighalo, has been vocal about their strained marriage, sharing her experiences and insights on social media.
Sonia urges women not to let anyone, including mother- in-laws, intimidate or control them. She emphasizes standing up for oneself and for one’s children. Citing the Bible verse Luke 10:19, she highlights the importance of being empowered and prayerful.
She shares her own story of marrying Jude at 19 and putting much into the marriage, a common trait among many African women who strive to see their husbands succeed. Sonia’s decision to leave the marriage was for her children’s sake, not due to a lack of fighting spirit.
In 2018, a notable Nollywood actress warned Sonia to be prayerful, a message she initially laughed off but later took seriously. Sonia also clears up rumors about her background, stating she was born into affluence.
“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.”
She plans to create a platform to support women in tough marriages, stressing that marriage should be enjoyable, not just endurable. Sonia thanks everyone for their support and prayers amidst these revelations.
Previously, Sonia accused Jude of infidelity with Nollywood actresses and a Big Brother Niger star. Her recent post suggests that despite his alleged affairs, the main issue was with his mother. Sonia continues to share her journey, offering insights and support to others in similar situations.
