Renowned journalist Dele Momodu appeals to his niece Sophia Momodu to approach her dispute with Davido in a calm manner, especially regarding her intention to raise their child independently.
This plea comes amidst public outbursts from Sophia Momodu concerning Davido's distancing behavior following the loss of their son with his wife Chioma Rowland and the subsequent breakdown of their marriage.
On Sophia's birthday, Dele Momodu took to his Instagram page to celebrate her and advised her to resolve the conflict amicably rather than engaging in public drama.
Sophia had expressed her intention to remove Adeleke's surname from their daughter's name while emphasizing her desire to raise their child on her own.
In Dele Momodu's birthday message, he urged Sophia to maintain composure and settle the disagreement peacefully, avoiding further public spectacle.
"Happy birthday to my darling @thesophiamomodu ... As you add one year to your age today, may God almighty continue to grant you favor, grace, peace, wisdom, prosperity, and excellent health... Above all, please CALM DOWN... Love you always...," he wrote.
The birthday message has generated mixed reactions, with social media users criticizing Sophia for her actions.
Reactions to Dele Momodu's birthday message to Sophia
lady_jay9995 commented: "I especially appreciate the 'CALM DOWN' part of this message... Being a single mom is hard; I know this firsthand because I am one. And it's even worse to have a baby daddy who is capable of providing but chooses not to for reasons known only to him. But I always say, whatever you put out there on the internet remains forever and can come back to haunt you or your child. So, whatever we do, let's always prioritize our kids and avoid putting them in situations that will embarrass them in the future. Stay calm, love. God made you her mother because He knows you are strong enough. You are capable... You will always have more than enough to take care of her. Always."
