A part of her August 8 Instagram post (now-deleted) read:

“I used to have a very different life. I had a husband and a family. I had someone who lived here and I felt loved me full time. I had a future I was counting on. A lifetime of companionship, family vacations, milestones, laughter, and love but all to no avail as I felt deflated for many years and now it’s all gone.”

Some months later, Sonia Morales shared on Instagram again that the poor living conditions (such as mosquito bites, lack of water and power supply) she encountered after relocating to Nigeria with IK Ogbonna made her leave the marriage.

A part of the new message read:

“Lord knows how bad it would be if this happened to me 5 years ago when I was staying in a house with no water and light coming off & on with a newborn baby that doesn’t stop crying and sweating and mosquitoes that won’t stop biting (thank God we don’t look like everything we been through lol) .. nah!”
