Odion Ighalo breaks silence amid public drama with ex-wife Sonia Adesuwa

Days after being called out by his ex-wife, Sonia Adesuwa, former Super Eagles striker Odion Ighalo has spoken out, offering a powerful response to the ongoing public feud.

Ighalo, currently playing for Al-Wehda, had been at the centre of a publicized dispute with Sonia, who recently issued a heartfelt apology on social media, only to quickly reverse course by demanding that he reclaim the bride price he paid at their wedding.

In an emotional Instagram post, Sonia accused Ighalo’s family of disrespect during their traditional marriage, rekindling past grievances. Despite her earlier apology hinting at regret, she took a sharp turn with this demand, adding another layer of speculation to their already strained relationship.

Ighalo, known for his calm demeanor, finally addressed the situation through his official X account (formerly Twitter), sharing photos of himself alongside a reflective message. He wrote:

“Nobody works harder than a man who knows no one has got his back. Only his mum’s prayers, his grand and God.”

This message is seen by many as a subtle response to the ongoing drama, reflecting his resilience in the face of adversity.

The former couple, who officially ended their marriage in 2022, have had their ups and downs in the public eye, with Ighalo often choosing to remain silent. However, Sonia’s latest actions, swinging from apology to confrontation, have raised eyebrows, leaving fans and observers questioning the motivations behind her conflicting statements.
