Marry a lady you can afford, Ighalo’s ex Sonia advises men

Sonia Adesuwa, the ex-wife of Odion Ighalo, the former Super Eagles striker, has advised men not to marry women above their pay grades.

In a post on her Instastory, Sonia also urged men to only date a woman whose lifestyle aligns with their financial capability.

“Dear men, marry who you can afford. Some ladies body cream is your monthly salary. Don’t enter into debt because of relationship,” she wrote.

Ighalo, the Nigerian footballer, tied the knot with Sonia in 2009. They have three children — two boys and a girl. In 2020, the pair separated over alleged infidelity.

Last year, Sonia revealed that their marriage ended in 2019 but they reconciled before it eventually crashed.

The businesswoman claimed Ighalo cheated on her with a BBNaija female celebrity, a Nollywood actress, and a disc jockey (DJ).

Sonia also alleged that Martina Ighalo, the footballer’s mother, “disgraced” her on social media.

“Did you see what your mum is doing she is disgracing me on social media. Bruh leave our kids out of this. You humiliated me to the whole world. Deal with it, man. We have not even started yet. Una go pay PR tire,” she added.

Sonia also argued that Ighalo has not moved on but “still desires reconciliation despite their split”.
