Sonia Ighalo, former wife of Jude Ighalo, continues to share her experiences and insights about marriage on social media, encouraging women to resist intimidation and control from anyone, including mothers-in-law. Sonia emphasizes the need for empowerment and prayer, referencing the Bible verse Luke 10:19.
Detailing her own journey, Sonia married Jude at 19, dedicating much effort to the marriage as is common among many African women supporting their husbands’ success. She clarifies that her decision to leave the marriage was for the well-being of her children, not a lack of determination.
Sonia addresses rumors about her background, affirming her affluent upbringing. She also acknowledges a Nollywood actress’s warning to be prayerful, a message she initially dismissed but later embraced.
In her Instagram post, Sonia encourages women not to be intimidated and announces her plan to create a platform supporting women in challenging marriages. She emphasizes that marriage should be enjoyable, not merely endured. Sonia expresses gratitude for the support and prayers she has received during these revelations.
Throughout her posts, Sonia has previously accused Jude of infidelity with Nollywood actresses and a Big Brother Niger star. Her recent focus indicates that the main issue might be with his mother, as she continues to share her journey and offer support to others in similar situations.
