• The couple before the parting of ways
Davido’s Logistics Manager, Israel Afeare, popularly known as Israel DMW, has announced separation from his wife, Sheila, barely 18 months after it was legally contracted in Benin City, the Edo State capital.
Israel Afeare announced this in an Instagram post on Saturday but in a swift reaction, Sheila fired back at Israel DMW, dismissing his accusation of digging gold on him.
She also called on Nigerians to hold her ex – husband responsibly if any harm befalls her or any member of her family.
She said contrary to Israel’s depiction of her family as “gold diggers,” she emphasized her family’s affluent background, stating that her father and former Edo State governor, Adams Oshiomole, are first cousins.
But in his detailed account, Israel DMW claimed that Sheila left her matrimonial home on August 8, 2023, despite his substantial support since their marriage.
Israel DMW stated that he met his wife a Christian and a virgin and they got married to each other in 2022 after a seemingly brief courtship whereby he also reset her with cash and gifts, including expensive phones.
The palpably disappointed young man declared that marrying someone from a Christian background and being a virgin did not ensure peace in his home.
He claimed that his wife accused him of being a slave to his boss, Davido.
He said, “Marrying a lady because you met her during evangelism as a virgin, a pastor’s daughter, a member of the same Winners Chapel church, might not guarantee anything peace at all. Don’t be too eager or quick to trust people. People can change at any time.
“People can be very ungrateful and deceptive. I met Sheila on February 19, 2022. We became friends, which later became intimate.
“She told me she would only lose her virginity to the man that would marry her since her Ugep, Cross River, mother, who’s now 41, had earlier married two different men, with two kids, before marrying her father and that she was overdue at 21 for marriage.
“We fully agreed with her terms and conditions. I immediately upgraded her unkept situation by giving her 300k and replacing her tattered phone of less than 60k with a new iPhone 12 Pro Max of 860k in less than two weeks.
“I later also replaced the 12 Pro Max with a brand 14 Pro Max of 1.2m that she uses to slay. I did a lot of shopping for her.
“Bought her clothes and bags, including expensive human hairs she’s using without sleeping with her then. I later proposed, and she fully accepted. We later did a legal introduction to traditional and white weddings in Benin City.
“Sheila immediately changed by showing her authentic self after our wedding and wanting to set standards for me. She now felt she was blown as Juju’s wife, fully verified on Instagram, with more followers from her earlier struggling 3k followers when I met her.
“A fully sapa girl I met with just 2,700 in her account. I have never raised my hands on her any day. I don’t beat women at all. I respect them so much. The least money for her upkeep was 100k. She now wakes up to tell me that I derive dignity in begging my oga, that I am fully a slave, and that I am disgracing her on social media.
“I had earlier taken her to show same oga for the first time before we wedded when we were in Abuja Transcorp Hilton, and oga asked her straight forward if she was ready for marriage, and she fully answered by saying yes and oga immediately gave her 500k for airtime. Oga was fully present in Benin for my wedding, after cancelling a 140m show appearance. Oga,” he stated on his Instagram | isrealdmw page.
But Sheila has alerted the world to who should be blamed if anything untoward happens to her or any member of her family.
She said her estranged husband should be held accountable.
Sheila raised the alarm on Saturday, shortly after the husband announced the break up.
She expressed worry about the safety of her life and her family members.
She alleged that Israel, along with hoodlums, stormed her mother’s shop to harass her.
Sheila made the allegation while responding to Israel DMW’s claims of fraud and his assertion that she left their marriage upon gaining fame.
Contrary to Israel’s depiction of her family as “gold diggers,” she emphasized her family’s affluent background, revealing that her father and former Edo State governor, Adams Oshiomole, are first cousins.
In a lengthy note, she wrote;
“If anything happens to me or any member of my family @isrealdmw should be held responsible!!! Going to my mums shop to beat her up?? You wan kill pikin kill mama join?? This isn’t even something to be quiet about at this point, @nigerianpoliceforces.
I was going to post this just yesterday! I held back because aside involving the police I reached out to someone I believe could reach him and would act on it, I say make I no forward so I don’t get the “Oh you shouldn’t have brought it online” yadayadayda!! This man carried boys to harrass my mum at her shop!!!
Both the phone and the generator he collected from my mum yesterday was immediately replaced by my dad. Everything Isreal ever did he was never asked or coerced! He just always thinks doing all this little things would cover up his demonic attitude.
Saying this might be petty but Idc he didn’t get me my first iPhone 411) even my younger sister dey use iPhone when I meet you isreal and I was using an iPhone too (I know you suffer partial memory loss).”
