My Father Sponsored My Traditional Wedding, Not Ighalo – Sonia

Jude Ighalo’s ex-wife, Sonia has asked him to go and collect the bride price he paid when they had their traditional wedding many years ago.

She recently had her say via her social media page, and the world has been reacting.

According to her, she organized a farewell party some time ago where the footballer and members of his family were supposed to come and collect her bride price, but they failed to show up.

Sonia added that her father was the sole sponsor of their traditional wedding, but Ighalo and his family members disrespected him by keeping him waiting on the said day.

WOW.

Odion Jude Ighalo (born 16 June 1989) is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Saudi Pro League club Al-Wehda and the Nigeria national team.

Born in Lagos and raised in Edo, Ighalo played in his country with Prime and Julius Berger, where he was discovered by FIFA agent Marcelo Houseman who recommended him to Atta Aneke, being subsequently taken on trial by Norway’s Lyn.

On 30 July 2008, Ighalo signed for Udinese in Italy, moving alongside teammate Jo Inge Berget and agreeing to a five-year contract. He appeared rarely in Serie A in his debut season, scoring against Cagliari in a 6–2 home routing. Four of his five league appearances came as a late substitute.

On 31 January 2020, Ighalo returned to the Premier League, joining Manchester United on loan until the end of the season.
