Davido pours out his heart in this long and

revealing piece. Please read below…

Birth of Imade Adeleke

When the second trimester of Sophia’s

pregnancy was closing, she tortuously

announced to me that she was in the family

way.

My mind was bemused,and so was my soul

confused. But I quickly realized that nothing

more could be done to alter my status as a

father-to-be. I knew that i was not ready to

be a dad. Still, I adjusted myself to the

realities of my new situation and the

consequences of my past personal

indiscretions.

I made the determination that I was going

to be a good dad. I also reasoned that my

blunder is not enough pretext to make me a

husband. I was just 21. And so I decided to

be a responsible dad without being husband

to the mother of my baby. I never was in

love with Sophia neither was marriage ever

in the offing.

Without knowing for sure that I was the real

dad of the baby, I entrusted Sophia to the

services of a private hospital for both pre-

natal and post-natal medical cares. An

apartment at Lekki was leased for 2 years,

and paid for by me. The burden of medical

bills, feeding, transportation and sundry

costs rested on my person. No family

member of Sophia including Uncle Dele

Momodu rose to help nor guide Sophia.

I own my property at Lekki and had allowed

Sophia to stay in the house because she

claimed that she knew nobody in Lagos and

that her father was deceasedwhilst her

mother was resident in Abuja. For real,

Sophia was a drifter without a dime,

education nor career. My compassion,

ignorance, naivety and poor judgment had

combined to make me a victim to a much

older lady with super cunning sense that

was mixed with a vicious and diabolical

nature. I stand accused but calmly accepted

my responsibility for the sad misadventure

that caused me to be a seat-mate with

Sophia on a plane that was flying nowhere.

All along, I have only been generous with

Sophia without knowing for sure I was the

father to the baby she was carrying. On May

14, 2015, Sophia delivered her baby named

Imade. It was after Sophia had deliveredthe

baby that DNA testing medically confirmed

that I was indeed the biological father of our

child named Imade.

Once this status was obtained, Sophia

started to apply maximum financial demands

on me. I bought all the baby things and fully

furnished her apartment. Sophia knew well

how to spend money and yet contributed

zero to the vast expenses that I incurred.

None in her family contributed even a fake

coin to the cost of having Imade.

Uncle Dele Momodu, now the pompous

moralist, never visited Sophia nor even

delivered an ordinary greeting cardto Imade

nor to her mum. Throughout the many

months that Sophia stayed at my house

when she claimed she has no family in

Lagos, Uncle Dele Momodu and his bossy

wife never showed up at my house to say

hello to either of us.

When the going was good, Sophia had told

me plenty things about her uncle Dele

Momodu that I need not repeat here. And

she never invited me to go with her to visit

him and I don’t have the knowledge that she

ever visited him throughout the time she

stayed in my house. She always explained

that a visit to Uncle Dele was needless and

unnecessary. Uncle Dele Momodu never

liked, and still does not like Sophia. He is

now just grandstanding because Sophia had

a baby for a fairly prominent family and

famous Davido.

The case of MrsMomodu baffles me even

more. Why did she not think it necessary to

move to Sophia’s apartment to help her out

and show her the tricks of motherhood

when Imade was newly born. Not once did

she visit Sophia and her baby until

December 2015. She gave neither care, love

nor financial support to Sophia. Now, at 7

months old, and a child with special medical

needs, MrsMomodu rushed to the Lagos

Airport to make an awful botch of her

standing as a mother: MrsMomodu certainly

not a good person. She put time and energy

to prevent my daughter and I,the real father

of Imade, from travelling aboard to keep an

appointment with the American Hospital,

Dubai. At the point of dying in November,

2015Imade had been rushed to this medical

facility in Dubai, where she received helpful

and adequate treatment, and was duly

returned to Nigeria, without any side

excursions.

What then suddenly propels the fear or

dangerous love ofMr&MrsMomodu for

Sophia? I deeply sense this couple never

loved Sophia nor her late father. They also

resent her mum, and probably are jealous

that Sophia ever became a mum herself,

and thus, wish that Sophia’s daughter who

is also my daughter, must needlessly perish.

Where is the inherent value in a callous

human ploy that directly intends to prevent

a child from receiving necessary medical

care aboard once the biological father,

DavidAdeleke, the child’s grandfather and all

my siblings who are uncles and aunties to

Imadeare booked to fly on this essential

medical trip to which we have attached a

restful family vacation? Sophia ain’t a

member of our family, period.

Surely, Sophia was not with Imade when she

first visited Dubai, and yet Imade was

promptly returned to Nigeria. And no one

said Sophia cannot come to Dubai except

that I declared that I don’t want the trip to

seem like a spousal get-away. Sophia ain’t

my wife and I refuse to let any action

conspire to make us look like a couple. She

seemed unable or unwilling to pay her way

to Dubai. Also, her boastful Uncle, alas,

refused to volunteer to pay her way to

Dubai. I never suggested to an elder what

he should take up as his personal

responsibility if indeed he cared at all for

Sophia as his robust involvement in our odd

relationship wishes to establish.MrMomodu

never bought the ticket but wanted to

enforce his cosine to join my family on this

Dubai trip.

Dangerous lights are furiously blinking red

around my daughter, Sophia and my person.

Uncle Dele Momodu and his wife are

providers of the energy espousing the idea

of a needless death to my daughter. I now

say it loud and clear, should my daughter

die, this strange couple are mainly

responsible. Mr Dele Momodu should just

leave me and my family alone! His daughter

is not who had a baby for me, and he has

been too much of an absentee uncle to

Sophia to have any traction on the moral

authority that commands the soul and heart

of this matter. Sophia Never formally

introduced him nor his wife to me, at

anytime. Why are they now crowding my

space and that of my daughter?

Custody, Lifestyle and Imade’s Loss of

Wellness

In May, the same month Imade was born,

Sophia settled in her fancy apartment for

which I paid a hefty bill for a 2 year lease.

Her baby was healthy. And she seemed

happy. I would take care of all the financial

needs of Imade and still pay Sophia a living

allowance of 300,000 Naira plus utility bills.

Within a matter of weeks, Sophia missing

and lusting for the streets of Lagos,

especially the glitzy night life. She often left

Imade home for clubbing, binge drinking and

a life of debauchery and deviant living. She

would sleep all day and party all night.

When awake, she was addicted to the

telephone and cannabis. She paid the baby

no attention at all and seem to despise

motherhood and parenting.

Imadewas in her custody for2 straight

months, unchallenged and uninterrupted,

until the baby took badly and severely ill in

July. Imade cried, ceaselessly, for 48 hours.

She was rushed to the hospital where her

condition confounded medical experts.

Several tests were conducted on her and

later on the mother. Medical reports, herein

attached(exhibit 1) , proved that Sophia’s

blood was polluted to the maximum level

with cannabis and she had by the process

of breast feeding infected her child with

complicated medical conditions associated

with the use of alcohol and especially

cannabis. The trouble spot for Imade was

her lungs. She had difficulty breathing

largely because of the contaminated breast

milk and the severity of the “ Second

Smoke ” of marijuana inhaled by the poor

child.

The medical experts at the hospital were

enraged by the callous treatment of Imade

by her own mother and declared her unfit

for the caring and the nursing of a delicate

baby. The team determined that they would

hand over the baby to the Children’s

Welfare Authority of Lagos State

Government. My family started to plead with

the hospital management. For the first time,

Sophia too was sober, sorry and contrite.

We pleaded that the baby would be kept

from the mother once she was returned to

us, and that we would take over

responsibilities for Imade’s welfare.

Voluntarily, Sophia, in the attempt to avoid

the handing over of the baby to the children

welfare authority, agreed to a compromise

position that she would transfer Imade to

the Adeleke family until the cannabis in the

systems of both mum and daughter was

completely outand comprehensively cleaned

out. The medical expert also indicated that

the full damage to Imade’s person could not

be ascertained right away and that her

mental state now or in d future could not be

determined nor predicted until perhaps when

she would have attained adulthood. This

was why and how Imade was transferred

tothe custody of the Adeleke family.

Soonest, Sophia began to make vigorous

demands for the brand new car promised to

her by me in May. My father stood out of all

this matter and pointedly told me that

although I was very young but I was already

making big income and therefore must learn

to be a responsible adult who takes care of

business properly and accordingly. He had

instructed since May, that i should provide

the mother of my baby with a car, without

delay.

But I have since had a change of mind on

this issue because, of Sophia’s night

crawling activities and reckless partying at

night clubs. Her clubbing rendezvous

escalated. In fact, she had gone to a club on

Victoria Island and spent 250,000 Naira in

one night. Unashamedly,she told the

management of the club to slap “Davido”

with the bill. I have refused to pay but till

date, the club has never let off the

harassment of my person for the settlement

of this wild bill. I still don’t believe that my

obstinacy will finally absorbed from the

payment of this reckless charge. This was

one of the main reason I put the purchase

of the car on hold

Meanwhile,Imade was increasingly worse off

in wellness and she had to be flown to the

American hospital in Dubai. I wrote a letter

of release authorizing my sister to travel to

Dubai with Imade. The hospital saved Imade

who was returned to Nigeria with a medical

equipment that had to be used daily to

enable Imadeto gain restful sleep and

balanced respiratory rhythm. The

photograph of this equipment is hereby

attached.

If Imade had not gone to Dubai, it is fair to

say that she may not be alive today. Still,

some people prevented her from keeping a

follow-up appointment at the American

Hospital in Dubai.For the silliest possible

reason.My family would not pay for Sophia’s

flight ticket and thus Imade would be

disallowed from traveling for the vital

purpose of medical conditions that lend

oxygen to her life. Which is more important

to Mr Dele Momomdu, the ticket for his

cousin or the overall wellness of Imade? And

why can’t this glamorous uncle buy the

ticket for Sophia so that the life of imade is

not compromised?

The claim has been made that the aborted

trip to Dubia was to takeImade to America.

This is not true.Imade’s Nigerian passport is

right now with the Immigration Office with

no American Visa embossed on it and

Imade, though qualified to possess an

American Passport because her dad is an

American citizen,still does not possess an

American passport. True,her passport is

being processed but the truancy of her

mother has caused a major delay. I therefore

ask, how willImade have entered America

without a visa on her Nigerian passport? The

great dynamics of lying is that the liar is the

first to know that he has told a lie, and the

lies told would certainly demolish his

integrity and the peace of his soul. Uncle

Dele Momodu, beware!

So poor in understanding is the cerebral

capacity of your cousin or niece that she

cannot even operate the equipment that

stabilizes her child’s lungs despite rigorous

training offered to her (Exhibit2) . She is

dismally inattentive. But she is a fabulous

cannon fodder for all the frivolities of life.

What more can I do for a woman who is not

my wife? I am 23. I ain’t ready for marriage

or even fatherhood. But I have accepted my

responsibilities as my father raised me to

understand life and deal with all its

challenges.

The only reason why some of us are

dancing naked in the market place today is

because Sophia’s request to go to Dubai on

my ticket was declined. She is demanding

for her new car and a raise of her allowance

to one million naira per month. The sole

reason why she’s demanding for the custody

of Imade is to justify the necessity for this

delusional one million naira. A domestic

matter that could have been quietly and

sensibly settled has been tossed to the

public domain with the brutal consequences

to the most innocent actor in this drama,

Imade.

From December 23-28, Sophia lived at my

father’s Lekki residence in peace except for

the first one hour when a medication was

misapplied by her and Imade speedily

vomited for a fearfully long time. Sophia did

not know how to even bathe her own baby.

She brought a friend to stay with her in a 3-

bedroom flat with a resident professional

nurse and nanny. Overall, her stay was

joyful and in alignment with the thrills of the

Christmas holiday season.

On December 29, less than 24hours of

leaving my father’s house, Sophia was at

the airport in the company of her uncle and

his wife with malice aforethought and the

aim to do maximum damage that would

obstruct her child from traveling aboard to

receive necessary and needful medical care.

She was welcome to join us if she had

bought her ticket or her uncle had funded

her for the trip.

I offered to buy her a car and suggested a

Toyota brand or Hyundai. She lost her cool

and told me off. She wanted a fancy jeep

and preferably, a Mercedes Benz Jeep. I

laughed because she just wanted to be a

Lagos Big Girl for nothing. She hardly can

cope with the cheapest car much less the

ruinous cost of maintaining a Mercedes

Benz vehicle. In December she received

500,000 naira as her allowance without

doing anything for Imade. Life is not a bed

of roses. Neither have I ever promised

Sophia a rose garden. Her spontaneous

motions of delusions utterly baffle me!

On her twitter page, she claimed she has

recovered Imade from captivity. But Imade

never was in captivity. Sophia certainly

knows where Imade is. And it is where she

left her on December 28, at my father’s

house. What is the lie about? Sophia also

claimed that she hasn’t seen her daughter in

5 months This cannot be true. Sophie spent

every Sunday with her baby at my father’s

house since July 2015 when she voluntarily

transferred Imade to the Adeleke family

after the cannabis incidence. She and her

daughter constantly appear on her face book

and twitter pages throughout this period of 5

months. What manner of unreliable and lying

person is Sophia.? The picture of your

reconciliation with Imade after “captivity”

that you posted on your twitter page came

directly from the photo shoot that you posed

for at my father’s house during your

Christmas stay. Why can’t you ever be

affable with truth nor have a relationship

with honour?

Uncle Dele Momodu was the first to bring

this domestic matter online and onto the

internet. Uncle Dele Momodu ran smack into

the internet highway on December 30 with

Video recordings that he dishonestly,

immorally and unlawfully recorded at a

government facility and office at the

Murtala Mohammed International Airport,

Lagos. Uncle, you are wrong and you are not

doing the right thing. By doing a thing so

unlawful over a domestic mater between a

23-yearold boy and your niece is a

bothersome slight that proved your niece

must have learnt her sleazy ways from your

own accomplished slap-happy conduct.

Life is beautiful if we all live in simple ways

and do not engage criminal gadgets to

replace integrity and honour. Your worthless

videorecordings has achieved nothing.But

exposed your naivety and lack of decorum.

Your recordings cannot alter the fact that I

am “Davido” father of Imade and it cannot

force me to be the husband of your cousin.

In truth, I don’t know if you are uncle or

cousin to Sophia. The word uncle has lost it

esteem since the timethat sleazebucket

took over our land. Still, Uncle Dele

Momodu, it is immoral, unlawful and

unethical to clandestinely record anyone,

especially friends and family members. This

scandalous act truly got you slaughtered

and put a new slant on your person.

Late evening on December 30, I responded

to your vicious internet publications that

attacked me and my family. As you well

know, my response was a slam dunk that

hurt you badly and diminished your person.

You perhaps deserved what you got. But my

father’s counsel and the love I have for

Imade prompted me to recall the arrow

aimed at you. You see, my father raised me

well, and I promptly complied with his

advise. I thus deleted all references to the

issue of December 29 at the Airport and

apologized to you in particular along with all

my fans. I showed you respect even if u had

drunkenly provoked me.

Instead of reciprocating with love and

elderly wisdom, you sustained your attack of

me with even more venom and hatefulness.

With all due respect for my dad, I am

compelled to speak to your lies and your

simulation of grand self-importance. I am 23

and you are almost 60. Your cousin has a

baby for me. Rather than bring us together

as a family, you wished for glowing embers

to come out of cool cucumber. You know

damn well how to grandstand. This is why

you instructed your lawyers to put garbage

on the internet in a matter that should be

showcased in the court of law. Uncle, who

offended you? Is it Davido, Sophia or Imade?

It cannot be my late mum after whom I

named Imade. Is it my gentle dad? Why have

you engaged yourself in a bitter private

vendetta with my family? Uncle, you will

have your day in court. But you will soonest

be forced to embrace the fact that the

crowning glory of your puffing and pride

rests in your stunning emptiness. Again, I

dare you, publish the garbage in your vanity

trunk or perish!.

I am 23 and a performing artiste that God

immensely blessed and I have joyfully made

good in the industry. I won’t do this forever,

and I shall timely step aside in the nearest

future. I have a degree and I am stashing

my monies aside so that I can build a

decent future for Imade plus my future wife

and family. I believe as the bible says,

“every good gift is from above”.

There is nothing better in life than to tell the

truth and pray. May God ever stand by me

and deliver to me my dreams and wishes.

May He also deliver to your own children

their dreams and desires. Uncle Dele

Momodu, please, please leave me and my

family alone even if it is clear, by God’s will,

that you can’t do us a thing. As for me, this

is the end of this conversation. May God

lead both of us to the righteous path.I thank

you very much, sir.
