First baby mama of popular musician, Davido, Sophia Momodu, has taken on men for financially bullying women into responsibilities.
Momodu, the mother of Davido’s first daughter, Imade Adeleke, in a series of tweets on Thursday, May 11, gave episodes of how men financially bully women into staying in relationships with them, especially when children are involved.
She wrote, “Financially bullying a woman into staying with you has got to be the most disgusting thing a man can do. Especially when children are involved.
“There’s got to be a special place in hell for people who intentionally punish innocent children. It’s been almost a year. Enough is enough!!!!
“Only in Nigeria! The laws don’t protect women or children & the men just do the absolute most! My goodness the whole system just stinks!
“Why should it be ok for a man to force a woman to handle his responsibilities as a father simply because the woman chooses to move forward & refuses to look back? Honestly it’s time to soro soke because ‘weyre lo poju ni country yi’.
“This cannot be ok. This should not be ok. So many women are forced into silence because these men use other ignorant women to bully & force the women they’re tormenting into silence.
“The amount of women going through financial abuse & being forced into silence in Nigeria is staggering. Who speaks for these women? Who defends them? Why is it ok for women to keep going through this?
“The enabling, the scheming, the lies & false narratives… ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
“So many women have had to resort to suicide concerning this systematic oppression & the ones who chose to be strong for their children are considered stubborn or problematic. The crazy thing in all of this is that you’ll find fellow ‘women’ dehumanising these innocent women. Haba”. She tweeted.
It will be recalled that, the birth of Imade caused a rift between Davido and Momodu, as he refused to claim the baby until a paternity test was carried out.
He also held a grudge against Sophia Momodu, claiming she allegedly trapped him by being pregnant.
After their breakup occurred and the paternity issue was resolved, arguments over the custody and welfare of the child arose. Their relationship worsened.
One of the main reasons for the argument was that, Davido wanted full custody of their daughter, a move that was countered by Momodu’s uncle, Dele Momodu.
