Man share his thoughts on Davido’s custody battle with babymama Sophia

Okey Aliyu, a Nigerian man, shared his thoughts on Davido’s legal action against Sophia Momodu.

He believes that Davido may not succeed in gaining joint custody of their daughter, Imade, due to traditional Igbo customs.

In Igbo culture, children born before the payment of bride price are typically considered to belong to the mother’s family.

Aliyu explained that without the payment of bride price and formal marriage, the child legally belongs to the mother.

He also mentioned that Davido’s failure to pay the bride price before Imade’s birth could impact his custody case.

“I love the Igbo culture so much. If you impregnate a lady as a guy in most Igbo part of this country without paying her bride price, you already know the child belongs to the girl’s family and not yours as the guy,” he wrote.

“Let me rephrase; I hope you know in Igbo land, if you impregnate a lady and she gives birth without you paying her bride price, even if you later marry her, the child she gave birth to before you paid her bride price isn’t yours. hope you know?

“We start counting your legitimate children from the ones she birthed after you paid her bride price. Except her parents wants to pity you by giving you the child. By right, it’s not your child.

“I said let me notify you incase you don’t know how the culture works

“I always laugh whenever I see people fighting over custody of children they didn’t pay any kobo on the lady that birthed the child as bride price. Culture dey Sha

“If na my side you kon drag Pikin wey you no pay bride price for the girl head ehhh, your front teeth for don loss. Yes, you can’t win anywhere no matter your money and connection…” the man said part.
