'Sophia Was Addicted To Marijuana'
. Davido Reveals
Sordid Details About Sophia, Dele Momodu
The child custody battle between Afrobeats star, David Adeleke aka Davido and the mother of his second child, Sophia Momodu has taken a messier turn following his remark on social media.
Davido took to social media to give a
detailed explanation of what transpired between the pair on Monday.
The saga started a few days before
Davido’s celebrated wedding to his long-time partner, Chioma Rowland, when he
filed a lawsuit against Sophia to demand custody of the child, Imade.
Sophia, who rejected the move, filed a
counter affidavit against Davido, saying he was not fit to be given custody of
the seven years old child.
She gave several reasons including the
death of Davido’s son, Ifeanyi, who drowned in his swimming pool for refusing
to release the girl
She insisted that the singer was not
fit to be granted custody of their daughter because he was always not available
and does not possess the ability to dutifully care for her.
She added that he would expose her
daughter to dangerous vices including, smoking.
As the feud escalated, Davido took to social media to share details of his predicament with his baby over the custody of their daughter.
The musician also explained why he has
acted in certain ways, particularly on Sophia.
He wrote: “When the second trimester of
Sophia’s pregnancy was closing, she tortuously announced to me that she was in
the family way.
“My mind was bemused, and so was my
soul confused. But I quickly realized that nothing more could be done to alter
my status as a father-to-be.
” I knew that i was not ready to be a
dad. Still, I adjusted myself to the realities of my new situation and the
consequences of my past personal indiscretions.
“I made the determination that I was
going to be a good dad. I also reasoned that my blunder is not enough pretext
to make me a husband.
“I was just 21. And so I decided to be
a responsible dad without being husband to the mother of my baby. I never was
in love with Sophia neither was marriage ever in the offing.
“Without knowing for sure that I was
the real dad of the baby, I entrusted Sophia to the services of a private
hospital for both pre-natal and post-natal medical cares. An apartment at Lekki
was leased for 2 years, and paid for by me.
“The burden of medical bills, feeding,
transportation and sundry costs rested on my person. No family member of Sophia
including Uncle Dele Momodu rose to help nor guide Sophia.
“I own my property at Lekki and had
allowed Sophia to stay in the house because she claimed that she knew nobody in
Lagos and that her father was deceased whilst her mother was resident in Abuja.
For real, Sophia was a drifter without a dime, education nor career.
“My compassion, ignorance, naivety and
poor judgment had combined to make me a victim to a much older lady with super
cunning sense that was mixed with a vicious and diabolical nature.
“I stand accused but calmly accepted my
responsibility for the sad misadventure that caused me to be a seat-mate with
Sophia on a plane that was flying nowhere.
“All along, I have only been generous
with Sophia without knowing for sure I was the father to the baby she was
carrying.
“On May 14, 2015, Sophia delivered her
baby named Imade. It was after Sophia had delivered the baby that DNA testing
medically confirmed that I was indeed the biological father of our child named
Imade.
“Once this status was obtained, Sophia
started to apply maximum financial demands on me. I bought all the baby things
and fully furnished her apartment. Sophia knew well how to spend money and yet
contributed zero to the vast expenses that I incurred.
“None
in her family contributed even a fake coin to the cost of having Imade.
“Uncle Dele Momodu, now the pompous
moralist, never visited Sophia nor even delivered an ordinary greeting card to
Imade nor to her mum. Throughout the many months that Sophia stayed at my house
when she claimed she has no family in Lagos, Uncle Dele Momodu and his bossy
wife never showed up at my house to say hello to either of us.
“When the going was good, Sophia had
told me plenty things about her uncle Dele Momodu that I need not repeat here.
“And she never invited me to go with
her to visit him and I don’t have the knowledge that she ever visited him
throughout the time she stayed in my house. She always explained that a visit
to Uncle Dele was needless and unnecessary.
“Uncle Dele Momodu never liked, and still does not like Sophia. He is now just grandstanding because Sophia had a baby for a fairly prominent family and famous Davido.
“The case of Mrs Momodu baffles me even
more. Why did she not think it necessary to move to Sophia’s apartment to help
her out and show her the tricks of motherhood when Imade was newly born.
“Not once did she visit Sophia and her
baby until December 2015. She gave neither care, love nor financial support to
Sophia. Now, at 7 months old, and a child with special medical needs, Mrs
Momodu rushed to the Lagos Airport to make an awful botch of her standing as a
mother: Mrs Momodu certainly not a good person.
“She put time and energy to prevent my
daughter and I, the real father of Imade, from travelling abroad to keep an
appointment with the American Hospital, Dubai. At the point of dying in
November, 2015 Imade had been rushed to this medical facility in Dubai, where
she received helpful and adequate treatment, and was duly returned to Nigeria,
without any side excursions.
“What then suddenly propels the fear or
dangerous love of Mr & Mrs Momodu for Sophia? I deeply sense this couple
never loved Sophia nor her late father. They also resent her mum, and probably
are jealous that Sophia ever became a mum herself, and thus, wish that Sophia’s
daughter who is also my daughter, must needlessly perish.
“Where is the inherent value in a
callous human ploy that directly intends to prevent a child from receiving
necessary medical care aboard once the biological father, David Adeleke, the
child’s grandfather and all my siblings who are uncles and aunties to Imade are
booked to fly on this essential medical trip to which we have attached a
restful family vacation? Sophia ain’t a member of our family, period.
“Surely, Sophia was not with Imade when
she first visited Dubai, and yet Imade was promptly returned to Nigeria. And no
one said Sophia cannot come to Dubai except that I declared that I don’t want
the trip to seem like a spousal get-away. Sophia ain’t my wife and I refuse to
let any action conspire to make us look like a couple.
“She seemed unable or unwilling to pay her way to Dubai. Also, her boastful Uncle, alas, refused to volunteer to pay her way to Dubai. I never suggested to an elder what he should take up as his personal responsibility if indeed he cared at all for Sophia as his robust involvement in our odd relationship wishes to establish. Mr Momodu never bought the ticket but wanted to enforce his cosine to join my family on this Dubai trip.
“Dangerous
lights are furiously blinking red around my daughter, Sophia and my person.
Uncle Dele Momodu and
his wife are providers of the energy espousing the idea of a needless death to
my daughter. I now say it loud and clear, should my daughter die, this strange
couple are mainly responsible.
“Mr Dele Momodu should just leave me
and my family alone! His daughter is not who had a baby for me, and he has been
too much of an absentee uncle to Sophia to have any traction on the moral
authority that commands the soul and heart of this matter. Sophia never
formally introduced him nor his wife to me, at any time. Why are they now
crowding my space and that of my daughter?
“In May, the same month Imade was born, Sophia settled in her fancy apartment for which I paid a hefty bill for a 2 year lease. Her baby was healthy. And she seemed happy. I would take care of all the financial needs of Imade and still pay Sophia a living allowance of N300,000 plus utility bills.
“Within a matter of weeks, Sophia was
missing and lusting for the streets of Lagos, especially the glitzy night life.
She often left Imade home for clubbing, binge drinking and a life of debauchery
and deviant living. She would sleep all day and party all night. When awake,
she was addicted to the telephone and cannabis. She paid the baby no attention
at all and seemed to despise motherhood and parenting.
“Imade was in her custody for 2
straight months, unchallenged and uninterrupted, until the baby took badly and
severely ill in July. Imade cried, ceaselessly, for 48 hours. She was rushed to
the hospital where her condition confounded medical experts. Several tests were
conducted on her and later on the mother. Medical reports, herein attached
(exhibit 1), proved that Sophia’s blood was polluted to the maximum level with
cannabis and she had by the process of breast feeding infected her child with
complicated medical conditions associated with the use of alcohol and
especially cannabis. The trouble spot for Imade was her lungs. She had
difficulty breathing largely because of the contaminated breast milk and the
severity of the “Second Smoke” of marijuana inhaled by the poor child.
