No competent court will grant 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 that no sane parent will be comfortable leaving a child with.



Sophia did not sue him, he was the one who sued her. She never stopped him from seeing Imade, she only requested that the visits must be supervised and that 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 to date. Whoever advised Davido to embark on this custody battle did not do well at all

You are so sweet. I love the last sentence. I think the ladies in his family are having a great influence on him. He shouldn't have taken Sophia to court at all. He should have tried his best to make peace with her, respect her boundaries as in no intimacy since you didn't marry me then she would trust him and let the child spend more time with him. Instead, he tried to use force and stubbornness which Sophia is more of.

I just dey laugh..

I remembered one guy, our cousin to be precise, tho not really a cousin

The mom had an affair with an hausa man, she became pregnant unknowing to us, she was just a month or two gone when our uncle Decided to wife her, both knew of the pregnancy and also my grandma's younger brother, fast forward to when the guy was more than 18yrs
He told everyone that he has seen his real father, we were surprised and nobody stopped him,the real gist came out,the guy traveled to kano to meet his father, how he found out ,we don't know

Now he is with his father, this custody battle and co na something I can never do, no matter what, a child will definitely seek for his or her father, why bother myself, just chase money, once you are rich,your child will definitely come to you

Rihanna doesn't have nannies, you are the igno.rant one here. It's all over Google

I don't even understand why he's suing for joint custody rights when he already has unrestricted access to the child

Mirasteel:
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.

Loving father and capable father are two different things ooo.

Parenthood requires physical precense which David cannot provide.

Plus all the negative influences that will surround that child. Before you know she don dey do drugs and nack all the bros wey dey hang around.

Make David rest. A child is best taken care of by the mother.

They want to take advantage of the guy by making money off him because of the poor girl. Business proposal go soon expire. Girl that is almost of age.

Oga he is barely asking for joint custody. Check up what that means .

Because it was never about the child, Sophia must have angered him again recently. Sophia stated very clearly in her documents that when Davido has sexual access to her, he's always on good behaviour but once she stopped it (because she felt guilty over Chioma), he became nasty again.

Men are quite emotional, it was shocking to realize it.

Men aren't polygamous, they're just badly behaved. They throw a tantrum, break the relationship and then realise that they wanted it in the first place, rather than admit and humbly beg, you start to see foolish behaviour

On 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. Life is short and should be enjoyed.

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

The child will hit 18 in 8 years. A lot can happen in that time. 8 years is not "soon"

Exactly @bold! I don't know why the guy is kill!ng himself over custody when there is even no restricted access to the child.

davido is an irresponsible parent and an even more irresponsible adult
to this day he has not taken personal responsibility for infeanyi's death.
he simply took the cowards way out and pinned the death on a hapless untrained nanny

if he was in the abroad, he would have been guilty of criminal negligence

would any parent be comfortable sending their child on a playdate with a guy who is surrounded by a crew of weed smoking thugs
with a guy who is regularly engaged in sex chats with low rent OF thots?

his parenting is more of pictures on instagram than actual hands on parenting
ask his children's school how many pta meetings he has attended

https://punchng.com/davido-stopped-paying-imades-school-fees-because-i-refused-to-be-his-sex-slave-sophia-momodu/

he is not paying imade's school fees because coercive sex with sophie is more important to him than his child's well being

the girl still visits him and he too can visit her, he has access to her . the love of a father is very deep and fathers love to be protectivs of their child. when a father cant do this to his satisfaction , some fathers feel pained and humiliated . that is what sophia wants to do , she wants to use imade to punish davido and make him miserable . she knows how deeply davido loves imade ,that is the game plan of many women , they like using the children to punish the man . all david needs to do now is to continue showing love to his child anytime he has the oppotunity to do so

So ‘immediately after the birth of their first child’ come mean say she has never had nannies? Which kind thing be this wey person dey see from people wey no pass ordinary WAEC English?

Only a dunce will believe that someone as rich as Rihanna will not have nannies. All the time she and her boyfriend are out in public without the kids, you think say the kids just dey home alone? Which kind reasoning be this?

Oil da your health, but some people will be supporting her behavior because of their hate for davido

Onegai:
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.

Ogbeni, you have no idea why men and women fight for custody. It has nothing to do with punishment. Women fight for custody because it means they will get full child support payments coming in until the child is 18. While men fight for custody to reduce the money they give to greedy women that use the kid to cash out.

Nothing to do with access to kids or ego stroking. It’s all about making sure the woman doesn’t achieve her gold digging dreams that she carefully planned when she (a much older adult) trapped the boy with that pregnancy.

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….

So unlimited access and joint access are no much difference. Davido don try o, if na igbo man e no go bother that much when the child grow she knows her father. Their story is very open and popular so her mom can not completely poison her mind against her father because the story is open.

But Tinubu the political fraudster doesn't want Nigerians to enjoy the short life.

Why doesn't he have joint custody? He should be able to see his child. Imade is his child and first child at that, and he adores her. Sophia will probably be able to get more money out of him this route and that's obviously the motivation. To those mentioning Ifeanyi, him and Chioma weren't even around when it happened. Those whose care they left him in are the ones responsible for his untimely passing. #ripIfeanyi

try to remarried and give birth to new kids,gat happy home, gurls likes to stay with they re dad! every soon,imade with move in,

Davido seeking custody has nothing to do with visits or seeing his daughter. It’s about making sure the girl’s mother doesn’t use the girl to cash out. Custody equals child support. 50/50 custody means 50/50 sharing of financial responsibilities.

Two truths can coexist, you can be a loving parent and also be careless and negligent at the same time.

And they will never fight for custody for babies.
They wait for the children to grow.
Walk, talk, be able to eat unassisted.

No sane court will give custody of a child to an irresponsible careless person no matter how much he has.

Why would a sane mother request or contemplate "supervised visits" for father and his daughter.

Do you know why he refused to pay child support?

Davido did the right thing by pushing for joint custody of his child. It is better to lose the custody case in court than to never push it. History will be kind to him.

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.

Thank you

Rossychy:
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.

But u women do that alot... men don't ever deny their child's mother from having access to that child...but women will always wanna use their children to punish the father

HallahGeisher:
Oga he is barely asking for joint custody. Check up what that means .

If you have a baby daddy,whose mother as Kemi Olunloyo alleges,died of cocaine overdose on her husband'sbirthday.( She might be lying.)

If you have a baby daddy whose work means he is rarely at home at nights and also travels for extended periods.

If your baby daddy openely smokes all sorts, probably snuffs other things as well.

If your baby daddy sleeps with different women all the time and was even seen on camera crying and begging a lady allow him to put just the tip inside.

If your baby daddy belongs to a freedom fighting movement, whose enemies targets and kills both their high profile and regular members and sometimes kill their family and friends just to drop message.

A baby daddy whose other child drowned in a swimming pool when both father and mother were not at home even though there were at least five other adults in the house.

...ask yourself will you be comfortable and eager to allow your only child to go and stay there even for one week and leave your child in the hands of strangers when you are alive and capable of caring for her?

Don't be blinded by idol worship.

David's career, circle of friends and homestead is no where to raise a child.

David himself may be kindhearted and a loving dad but his environment is shit and not conducive to raise a child in without the mother present.

The lawyer was right in pointing that out no matter how angry David may feel. That is exactly her job. To convince the judge with facts beyond reasonable doubt.

It is a reality check for him.

I once took my family to a family friend's Christmas party. After a while, they brought out cards, placed bets and started to gamble in the precense of their own and other people's children.


Immediately i sighted their actions, I gather my kids and move straight under 10 seconds...before dem go create problem wey money no fit solve. I no dey take my children welfare joke with anybody.

I think this is the best way forward. All the bad blood will not serve her well in the future.

Davido is the kind of person whose stewpidity is written all over his face. Some low IQ people have this look on their face, Davido is one of them.
