She wrote,
Financially bullying a woman into staying with you has got to be the most disgusting thing a man can do. Especially when children are involved. There’s got to be a special place in hell for people who intentionally punish innocent children.”
Sophia highlighted the prevalence of financial abuse and the lack of support for women forced to suffer in silence. Sophia criticized how the system often enables and even encourages this behaviour and called for more effective measures to be put in place to protect women and children in Nigeria.
