Nigerian influencer and entrepreneur, Sophia Momodu, has revealed that she was subjected to emotional and psychological abuses after she got pregnant out of wedlock for singer Davido.

Speaking at a United Nations General Assembly event in New York on Monday, Sophia said she was mocked for getting pregnant out of wedlock because she was a pastor’s daughter.

She explained that the trauma of the abuse she was subjected to made her lose her voice even as a famous person.

“I am a pastor’s daughter who got pregnant out of wedlock by a global superstar. And I was mocked. It was crazy. I had to find myself in the midst of all that.

“For a long time, I didn’t have a voice despite being famous. I was worried and getting drained by the negative criticisms. If you are a Nigerian, you will know that it is almost a taboo for a pastor’s daughter to have a child out of wedlock,” she said.

She added that she eventually found her voice after being repeatedly asked to remain silent because of how supposedly shameful her story was.

Sophia Momodu is the mother of Davido’s first daughter, Imade Adeleke.

Akintola made the disclosure during an interview with Chude, where she criticised Nigerians for attacking people over their political preferences.

According to the actress, the treatment of veteran actress Joke Silva over her support for Tinubu also influenced her decision to openly declare her support for the APC presidential candidate.

“I supported President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during the last election because Nigerians annoyed me with their bullying,” Akintola said.

She recalled that after seeing the backlash against Silva, she made her own video declaring support for Tinubu despite the criticism.

“They bullied Aunty Joke to the point that someone wrote something that was so inhumane. So, I made a video and said, ‘I’m also supporting Tinubu, kill me, let me see if you can change my mind,’” she said.

Akintola urged Nigerians to respect opposing political views, saying people should be allowed to make their own choices.

“Nigerians are annoying. Don’t bully other people. We have our rights to differences of opinion. You don’t like this man, cool, you have the right not to like him. You prefer this person, good for you. But don’t bully others,” she added.

Speaking in a recent video, Nedu highlighted the increasing costs of essential needs such as school fees, house rent, food, transportation, fuel and healthcare.

He also noted that the harsh economic realities have pushed some people into actions they never imagined they would take in a bid to survive.

“People are doing things they never imagined they would do, hurting people, betraying people, cutting corners, not necessarily because they were born wicked but because survival has become a daily battle in this country.

“We just want an economy where working hard can actually mean something, where a parent can provide for their children without stress and where ordinary Nigerians can wake up tomorrow with a little less fear and a little more hope. At least we deserve that,” he stated.

The media personality’s comments come amid growing public discussions over inflation and the increasing cost of basic necessities, which many Nigerians say continue to put pressure on their daily lives.
