Nigerian singer Chike has found himself at the centre of a heated online storm following a recent cryptic post on his X account. The 'Boo of the Booless' hitmaker, who has been embroiled in marital crisis rumours, took to social media to express his pain over the backlash he has received from fans and netizens alike. The controversy stems from unverified allegations linking him to an affair with media personality Frank Edoho's second wife, Sandra Onyenucheya.
Chike's Emotional Plea
In what appeared to be a heartfelt cry, Chike posted a short but poignant message on his X account, saying: 'Pity My Soul.' The post came as leaked tapes of the estranged couple continued to make headlines, intensifying the scrutiny on the singer. Many interpreted the message as a plea for understanding amid the mounting pressure.
Sandra Onyenucheya Speaks Out
Earlier, Sandra Onyenucheya broke her silence on the rumours that her marriage to Frank Edoho had crashed. In a series of Instagram stories on Thursday, May 14, she alleged years of abuse and irresponsibility on the part of the media consultant. According to her, she 'survived' Frank Edoho in the marriage, describing him as a narcissist and a deadbeat father who often portrayed himself as the victim.
She further alleged that while she was pregnant with their first child, Edoho was in a relationship with actress Mbong Amata. During her second pregnancy, she claimed Edoho asked her to terminate the pregnancy because he was involved in other relationships and did not want another child at that time. Despite his alleged behaviour, she said she remained faithful and committed, enduring what she described as emotional abuse throughout the marriage. Frank Edoho has not yet responded to these specific claims.
Netizens React to Chike's Post
Legit.ng compiled reactions from social media users who weighed in on Chike's emotional plea. @DozieOfficial1 advised: 'Chike, I believe you are an Igbo man hence from an Igbo people perspective, it is not enough to go about asking people on social media to pity your life after sleeping with another man's wife. A real Igbo man admits his wrongdoing and faces the husband and family with humility. Go with your family elders or respected mediators to seek reconciliation. Offer the necessary apology and whatever restitution Frank Edoho's tradition demands - whether drinks, fines, or other symbolic items. If the family believes cleansing or reconciliation rites are needed, do them without pride. Most importantly, publicly promise never to repeat such an act again. After that you can now come to us here to ask for pity. That is how honour is restored, not by seeking sympathy from the public. My little advice.'
