Controversy over Bride Price: Sonia Ighalo’s Plea to Jude
Sonia Ighalo, the ex-wife of Nigerian footballer Jude Ighalo, has publicly asked him to make arrangements for retrieving the bride price he paid during their traditional wedding.
She expressed frustration over a failed farewell party she organized three years ago, where Jude’s family did not attend.
Sonia emphasized that her father solely sponsored their traditional marriage and felt disrespected by the no-show from Jude’s family.
She has since asked him to send representatives to finalize the return of the bride price, formally ending their marriage.
