Davido Baby Mama Saga: Imade Adeleke Is Not A Trophy - Reuben Abati

 The former special adviser on media and publicity to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Reuben Abati, has voiced his opinion on the entire Davido vs. Sophie and Dele Momodu baby mama saga.

 
Reuben Abati in an opinion piece on his Facebook page advised Davido, Sophie and her uncle, Dele Momodu, not to give unnecessary publicity to little Imade Adeleke.
He wrote: “They should not forget there is a child involved. They have suddenly made Imade Adeleke, the most famous victim of Baby Mama-Baby Papa palaver in Nigeria. Both Davido and Sophie and their supporter’ clubs should please protect the baby and not make her a poster child for that kind of
The piece, written in the form of a dialogue between Abati and a friend, analysed the ongoing social media war of words between Davido and Dele Momodu and the public’s “enjoyment” of the sordid details revealed each day like on some bad soap opera.
“But me, I am enjoying the story oh,” one of Abati’s characters says. While the other replies: “Of course, too many sadists in our land enjoy other people’s misery.
Abati, however, pointed out what was most important and why the matter was not an affair for public eyes and ears.

He wrote: “That’s why it is the child that is most important. I don’t like the way they have turned the young girl into a trophy to be fought over in a blood sport. We are in the age of the internet. Twenty years from today, someone could print out these funny details from the internet memory bank. A father, grandfather and a half-sister fighting a mother and her family over a baby and making sordid claims: It is not a fight that can be easily won.”
Since late December, the Momodus have been in embroiled in a tug of war with the Adelekes over the custody of Sophie and Davido’s daughter, Imade.
Davido, in several posts on social media, accused Sophie of being a bad mother and “infecting” her child with cannabis while Dele Momodu, the publisher of Ovation and Sophie’s cousin, has claimed, also via social media, that the Adelekes are trying to use their wealth to muscle a mother out of the life of her daughter.
