Three years after the death of Nigeria’s former ambassador to Spain, Demola Seriki, his last wife Princess Sholape and her children have allegedly been denied access to pray at his gravesite.
Seriki died in Madrid on December 15, 2022, at the age of 63, leaving behind three wives and children.
Sholap shared a video online saying she and her children were denied access to the vault. She claims that a person named Biola took the keys to the vault and directed that visits could only take place with her approval.
In the video shared, Sholapu expressed regret over the situation, saying: “The keys to the vault have been withheld and we have been denied entry. We are speaking out today and we will continue to deal with things. It doesn’t matter. It won’t stop. We have said our prayers,”.
In other news… A Nigerian woman living in the UK has sparked a heated debate online after she issued a warning to Nigerian men living in the UK, advising them not to bring wives from Nigeria.
In a widely circulated video, the woman, who claims to be Igbo, made strong claims about the breakdown of marriages among Nigerians in the UK, especially within the Igbo community.
In her own words:
“Ninety per cent of separated and broken marriages in the UK today are Igbo,” she said. “You don’t see Benin, you don’t see other tribes. It’s just Igbo men and women shaming themselves on social media. I’m Igbo and I need to tell you the truth. You have failed us.”
She said moving to the UK often puts undue pressure on marriages, leading to public disputes, family conflict and separation.
She believes these issues often arise on TikTok, causing embarrassment to families and the wider community.
She added:
“If you know you are a Nigerian man living in the UK, the only advice I can give you is to avoid bringing your wife to the UK. Just avoid it. As a man, you will regret it later.”
Her comments drew mixed reactions. While some social media users agreed that immigration, economic pressures and changing gender roles can have a negative impact on marriages in the diaspora, others criticized her comments as exaggerated, divisive and unfairly targeting Igbo women.
