According to her, the incident occurred while she was abroad to give birth to their fourth child, a period she said marked the beginning of the breakdown of her marriage.
“A lot went wrong. A whole lot. But the highlight of it was that he impregnated my maid,” she said.
The disclosure has surprised many social media users, as the couple’s relationship had previously been viewed as stable and enviable.
Lady reflects on failed marriage
In a follow-up post, Ada explained that it has been one year since she left the marriage with her children.
She addressed recurring criticism from people who insist that she should not be single-handedly responsible for the children or that they should be returned to their father in Nigeria.
She stated that leaving the children with their father was never an option, stressing that her priority has always been their safety and well-being.
Ada revealed that she formally requested financial support from her ex-husband, but he allegedly ignored her letter, while his family also failed to respond.
The mother of four questioned what alternatives people expect her to pursue, noting that responsibility cannot be forced on someone who has chosen to be absent.
She rejected suggestions that single parenting was a choice, explaining that she explored communication before accepting that she had no safe option but to raise her children alone.
Ada stated that she would continue to prioritize her children over public opinion, expressing hope that speaking out might draw understanding or support, especially as the festive season approaches.
