Oga truth be told No judge will grant you joint Custody after the death of your 1st son … no mata the connections ,fame and money…

You can only have unlimited access to your daughter….

One thing this Sophie Momodu must note is that all these fight will be useless once Imade hit age of 18. She will leave for uni and become independent and free to associate with whoever she wants. She might tend more towards Davido leaving her as a mum in avoidable bitterness and emptiness of heart. By then she would know realise the wisdom of what Tonto Dike did.

She should reconcile immediately and have a peaceful co-parenting that will put Imade, Davido and herself in a win-win situation in both short and long term. Children grow up quickly and leave behind empty nest. Life is short and should be enjoyed.

It's better for him, most Judges will grant custody to the mother for minors. People fight dirty in court 🤷🏿.

that is the foolishness in fighting for child custody ,when the child grows up he or she will still go back looking for both parents , sophia may just want to use imade either as a tool to extort davido or as a means to be colecting money from him .
as long as the girl knows her father and he continues to show her love anytime he is with her , it is pointless fighting for her custody , she will soon be able to choose where she wants to go at anytime she wants to

No mother or father should deprive the other party from having access to his or her child/ren. It is not good for the mental health of the innocent child/ren.

Unlimited access still make sense though..that I know they can't deny you

No competent court to will grand full or joint custody to a type of parent like Davido and the tragedy of losing his son has little to do with it. He's hardly available and he surrounds himself with all sorts of shady characters no sane parent will be comfortable leaving a child with.

Sophia did not sue him, he was the one that sued her. She never stopped him from seeing Imade, she only requested that the visits must be supervised and the child cannot travel with him. Considering the type of lifestyle Davido is living, that's the best kind of access he can get with the child, let's leave sentiment out of this. It was through this lawsuit that we got to know that Davido did not pay child support on Imade for years, Sophia never made this public till she got sued and Davido never refuted this till date. Whoever advised Davido to embark on this custody battle did not do well at all

Access and custody rights are two different things….

Sophia never denied David Acess to his child despite not paying child support

Grant you joint custody when you’re rarely home and surrounded by agberos and thugs who smoke igbo 🤡

While I totally agree with you on this, as I have the same arrangement with my ex, you can't just dismiss the mother's fears.

Although in our case, my child is with me most of the time. From time to time, Either of us still comes up with tiny little fears when the boy is not with with us. He's 15 now, we are getting more relaxed about his security when by the other party.

Now on Imade's case. No matter how biased we want to look at it. The demise of Davido's son, although very unfortunate, was a case of gross negligence on the part of Davido and Chioma. Davido is a busy man, and prolly won't spend enough time with Imade whenever she's around, exposing her to all sorts of things, moreso, as a girl child.

So IMO, It will be irresponsible of any woman to feel confident that her daughter would be fine alone in such an environment considering all that has happened and all the rumours surrounding Davido. Remember, she was once a member of the family, we've never been. Enough said.

Does davido even have the time? With that kind of busy environment. And this is a girl child

You spoke well. Life is short we need to enjoy it. While preventing other parent from accessing his daughter
Nawaoo she is wicked for nothing

Stop lying on behalf of your friend Sophia the whole world knows the truth.
Re: Davido Discontinues Legal Action Over Custody Of Daughter Imade by ridwintin89(m): 5:19am On Feb 14
Fighting for a child custody is a good move . A child would emotionally connected to whom groomed him/her to adulthood.

No matter the money, love and emotional connection matters.

I support seeking for a child custody, because it is a win for whoever won.

As a man,I cannot be paying for a child not in my custody,it is a waste of effort.

The child would be seeing you as a stranger in the future,no emotional bond from childhood.

People think seeing one off on occasion is enough,the question is for how long.

It was the same feeling you had when partying,after the party what happens next.

Re: Davido Discontinues Legal Action Over Custody Of Daughter Imade by Trendtips(f): 5:26am On Feb 14
To those using his late son as a benchmark: I wish you all the best. Facts:

He hired a dedicated nanny for his son: Yes
He has other kids with access to the pool : Yes
His son knew swimming: Yes

So, because of one accident, should he lose parenting rights or access to his daughter? Ridiculous. Just like I'd crash a car once, but still drive again. Logic, people.
Re: Davido Discontinues Legal Action Over Custody Of Daughter Imade by MoneyMan5: 5:32am On Feb 14
But let's be honest Davido and Chioma were both equally responsible for the death of their first son

That Chioma was a useless mother she couldn't even take care of her son but left her in charge of a Nanny, if Rihanna a billionaire refused to hire Nanny and concentrated fully on her children what was a jobless person like Chioma doing?

You did the needful. She'd grow up asking the right questions and not the wrong one because records never lie. Besides, she'd be the one looking for you herself pretty soon.

Attaboy!

Re: Davido Discontinues Legal Action Over Custody Of Daughter Imade by Onegai(f):
If you know men, and I'm not saying this to bash men, I'm saying this because I've seen it a lot...

They only fight for custody when they want to punish their ex and have a way to control her. Men don't process breakups well.

And it is not a Nigerian phenomen, even abroad. Abroad, a lot of women in divorce court once they hand their child over for custody and the man realizes that she won't be allowing him use the kids to fight her, they get tired and start looking for another way to control and hurt her.

Davido wanted to punish Sophia. Which is why this nonsense came up

I'm 99% positive that the reason Davido's family was quiet was because they had access to Imade anytime and Davido's case had no leg to stand on. I know a Nigerian man in this situation and it's only gullible people who don't know his wife believe him when he says she's kept the kids away: his family literally chat up with the wife on social media, his friend was getting updates. He only fights for custody when he's feeling hurt or needs his ego stroked. We're tired of him.

His idiotic prideful bluster that he was dealing with the lawyer in court but decided to drop the case is just typical male ego face saving foolishness. I don't understand why men do it and I have sons, so I'm scared one day they'll be foolish like this.

They should allow Imade to enjoy his dad wealth, the little girl mom is just so greedy.

I don't agree with you on this, David is a very loving father, he might be irresponsible in other things but when it comes to fatherhood, he doesn't play with it.
