Sonia Adesuwa, the estranged wife of Odion Jude Ighalo, has
revealed what made her end her marriage with the former Super Eagles and
Manchester United forward.
The mother of three made this known in a post on her
Instagram page on Thursday and claimed that she left because she was tired of
fighting and had to prioritise her children over her marriage.
Sonia also advised married women to become stronger
self-advocates, while emphasizing that marriage is meant to be enjoyed, not
endured.
Sonia wrote, "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
SILVERSPOON."
She also revealed that she would open a platform to encourage
women having issues with their marriage.
"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.”
