Nigerian footballer Jude Ighalo has finally broken his online silence, responding to his ex-wife Sonia Adesuwa’s public rants. The former Super Eagles striker took to his Instagram stories to address the ongoing drama between him and Sonia, subtly shading her and urging her to move on.
Sonia, who has frequently taken to social media to air grievances since their marriage ended, recently shared posts accusing Ighalo of infidelity and reacting to rumors that he is expecting a child with another woman. In response, Ighalo posted a photo of himself with the caption, “I would be obsessed too,” hinting that his ex-wife’s constant online attacks may stem from unresolved feelings.
In a follow-up post, Ighalo shared a video of a man discussing how people can disappoint you and how social media can be both a blessing and a curse. Accompanying the video, Ighalo wrote, “Rest naaa for Christ’s sake, even Devil dey rest sometimes. Lies upon lies everyday, but I dey too busy looking for my daily bread to stress about irrelevant things. I pray you find peace.”
The footballer’s comments quickly sparked reactions online, with many fans interpreting his posts as direct jabs at his ex-wife. Some supporters agreed with Ighalo, stating that Sonia needed to move on, while others felt the couple might still have lingering feelings for each other.
Fans shared their opinions on social media, with comments such as, “She is truly obsessed,” and, “This is shameful, she needs to rest.” Some speculated that Sonia still had feelings for Ighalo, with one user writing, “If she’s still in love with him, nothing to be ashamed of. Call him and work things out.”
The drama between the ex-couple has been ongoing for months, with Sonia previously accusing Ighalo of cheating and listing several individuals she claims he was involved with. Despite the public fallout, Ighalo seems focused on his career and family, dismissing the social media back-and-forth as irrelevant.
As the saga continues, fans remain divided, with some hoping for reconciliation and others urging both parties to move on.
