Okey Aliyu, a Nigerian man, recently shared his views on Davido’s legal action against Sophia Momodu regarding their daughter, Imade. Aliyu believes that Davido might face challenges in gaining joint custody due to traditional Igbo customs.

According to Aliyu, in Igbo culture, children born before the payment of bride price are typically considered to belong to the mother’s family. He explained that without the formalities of paying the bride price and marriage, the child legally belongs to the mother.

This cultural aspect, Aliyu suggests, could impact Davido’s custody case, emphasizing that Davido’s failure to meet these traditional requirements before Imade’s birth may hinder his chances in court.

“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.
