Sonia Ighalo, the wife of renowned footballer Odion Jude Ighalo, has revealed the reasons behind her decision to end her marriage in a recent post on her Instagram page. In her candid statement, the mother of three clarified that her choice to leave the marriage was motivated by her concern for the well-being of her children rather than exhaustion from marital conflicts.

She also asked married women to ensure that they do not let any mother-in-law step into and control their homes.

“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 witha SILVERSPOON.
| 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.”
