The way in which the state of affairs with Brown Ideye has gone up to now, how would you describe it?

You recognize I really feel very dangerous as a result of the state of affairs has put my youngsters in a really dangerous temper and since I imagine in guidelines. I imagine in honesty.

I’ve identified Brown Ideye since 2016 and there have been scandals, however Brown doesn’t maintain his youngsters and doesn’t see them.

In 2016, he gave our kids his household title and he paid alimony. However what has occurred [since] January 2022 shook me. It shook me as a result of you understand the state of affairs in Ukraine now. Ukraine and Russia have a really massive battle and it has been very tough.

And now I can not go to a different nation as a result of within the paperwork, the youngsters all bear their Brown Ideye’s title. I’m free to go, it’s no downside for me, however I can not go along with the youngsters.

Some individuals imagine that your grievances in opposition to Brown Ideye are purely financially motivated and that you just simply need consideration. How do you reply to this?

I would like individuals to know. This case shouldn’t be a matter of me asking him for cash as a result of I’ve a Ukrainian enterprise and I don’t want cash from Brown Ideye for myself. 

However he should respect what he wrote within the paperwork and he should respect the legislation. As a result of he doesn’t perceive that he should maintain his youngsters for 18 years, and he accepted it in 2016.

He (Brown Ideye) thinks that as a result of….If I’ve cash and I’m wealthy, so I can do something, and what I would like. No it’s not achieved that means. The legislation is for everyone. Whether or not you’re poor or wealthy right here, it’s essential to respect the legislation.

I would like individuals to know the story, I would like individuals to see via, as a result of all this time, all these years, I haven’t spoken about it.

Some studies say that you’re Brown Ideye’s ex-wife, have been you two legally married?

No. We had a relationship for 3 years when he performed for Kyiv (Dynamo). Even after he went to play in West Bromwich, we nonetheless had a relationship.

However, in December 2015, Brown (Ideye) in a short time stopped talking with me, stopped visiting Ukraine and began staying in London.

I known as his good friend and requested why he doesn’t reply my calls anymore, the good friend mentioned he didn’t know why as properly.

I known as him to see if I might go and meet him in London, however it didn’t occur. Finally, a Ukrainian firm gave me assist, after they discovered that Brown was in Greece.

And we had some conversations and many discussions however now I’m very upset about this story.

How are the youngsters coping amidst all of this?

The youngsters are with me in Ukraine. I’m nonetheless with them. They aren’t glad.

What are their names?

The primary one is 10 years previous. Joel. He received his title from Brown Ideye’s father, so he took his grandfather’s title. And the opposite one is a lady, Michelle. She’s eight years previous.

How usually have you ever tried to achieve out to Brown Ideye?

He has blocked me on Instagram. My lawyer all the time desires to talk with him (Brown Ideye), as a result of he has a feminine lawyer and all this time, I don’t communicate with him.

I [spoke] with my attorneys. My attorneys [spoke] with Brown’s attorneys and in January 2022, they informed me he mentioned he wouldn’t honour his contract with me.

Typically I’ve points with him when he modifies golf equipment and tells me he can’t pay any cash… that he has issues, and I say, “Okay, no downside.”

For me, it was extra necessary for him to talk along with his youngsters, and spend time with them, however he doesn’t wish to.

You recognize what has killed me? When the struggle in Ukraine began, he didn’t name or textual content and even requested about his youngsters. I’m in Ukraine staying with the youngsters, and you understand what occurred in Ukraine.

And after I see him write on Twitter that, “Oh I’m very upset with what’s taking place in Ukraine” and all that…and on this state of affairs, Brown doesn’t name us and even ask possibly “Did my youngsters die?” or “Are you able to guys go to a different nation?”  And I maintain saying it’s not regular.

What is occurring may be very unusual. Now he is saying he doesn’t know me and what I would like from him. I don’t know what has occurred to him. Possibly he has some downside along with his head or…I don’t know actually.

Brown Ideye wants to know what he should do. He is aware of the story very properly and he has denied it to his pals who’ve requested him about it and mentioned it’s photoshop.

However persons are not silly, not Ukrainian, not Nigerian. Folks see the feedback, individuals see via him.

A few of Ideye’s pals have known as me to know why he’s behaving this fashion.

Brown Ideye doesn’t respect the legislation, he doesn’t respect the youngsters and he’s a liar.

Why do you say that?

He informed his pals that he doesn’t have any youngsters in Ukraine and known as us some people who simply need cash. He is aware of I’m very uninterested in the story.

He [Brown Ideye] has the cash, he can maintain the youngsters. I even want papers to see if I can transfer the youngsters away from Ukraine however I can’t do this.

In Ukrainian legislation, if I would like to come back to, possibly, Nigeria with the youngsters, I would like papers from the daddy and he has to put in writing papers for the Nigerian embassy. He understands this.

I do know for positive he was upset and really indignant when he was in Göztepe. I knew he had points with wage as a result of he performed very badly and there have been complaints that he didn’t respect his contract as properly.

However in my state of affairs, I’m not used to staying discreet. I’ve a relationship with him. We’ve got youngsters and he doesn’t respect his contract. Folks should respect the legal guidelines and guidelines in a rustic.

How a lot does the contract state he’s imagined to have paid in baby help?

Now he [Brown Ideye] should pay $150,000 as alimony for 2022 and for this 12 months.  Each month he should pay $7000 for the 2 youngsters. That was what was on the contract for the 2 youngsters. For all this time, every single day he incurs an added quantity if he doesn’t pay for sooner or later – for not respecting the contract.

Typically when he modifies golf equipment, he doesn’t pay when he’s imagined to and finally ends up paying after.

The cash that he’s imagined to pay shouldn’t be even massive cash for him. It’s not a query of whether or not he doesn’t have cash.

You repeatedly stored posting ‘Do not Disgrace Nigeria’ on Instagram. Do you care to elaborate on that?

I believe Brown Ideye is shaming Nigeria. As a result of to start with Ukrainians and Nigerians see the story. And other people don’t perceive why this man who, I do know, in Nigeria, is likely one of the massive stars, is behaving this fashion.

However many individuals from different international locations may assume as a result of this massive star from Nigeria behaves like this, it’s regular, however it’s not. Folks on the planet should respect guidelines.

Okay, we don’t have a relationship. I’ve one other life, he has one other life.

However he and I have to perceive that we have now youngsters and the youngsters additionally know their father which makes the state of affairs very unusual.

And what he’s doing shouldn’t be good. If he was sensible, possibly he would have mentioned okay, “I made a mistake, I had issues with work however I don’t wish to let my youngsters down as a result of I’ve a contract. I might change the state of affairs, I’m sorry.” As a result of Joel and Michelle can’t perceive why they’ve a father who has every little thing however can’t maintain his youngsters.

He is aware of what’s going on in Ukraine, he is aware of the nation shouldn’t be protected and he has achieved nothing.

Earlier than all this, how have been issues between you and him?

Once I met with Brown Ideye, I requested him if he was married or not.

He mentioned he’s not married however he has ladies with youngsters in Nigeria. So I put [it] to him that he has relationships with them, however he mentioned, “No, I’m free.”

He [Brown Ideye] informed me good issues, that he loves me a lot and we’ll go to Europe and Nigeria. And, afterwards, he’s a liar. He’s a liar and he’s a prison as a result of he doesn’t respect legal guidelines, he doesn’t respect youngsters, his personal youngsters.

Then I received pregnant and acquired many feedback from the Ukrainian press and I came upon that he was married to a Nigerian girl [Damka].

Once I requested him, he mentioned, “Sure I’m married however I don’t wish to let you know as a result of I really like you.” He was mendacity, you understand. And each time he’s been to Ukraine, he tells me he loves simply me however he can not divorce as a result of he’s a soccer star and he does not need individuals to assume badly of him.

As time went on, I knew he would not change. In 2016, there was one other scandal when one other girl out of the country known as me, bribed me and mentioned that she has youngsters for Brown. I used to be shocked.

For now, I do know that when he performs out of the country, he has a relationship with one other girl, and has youngsters out of the country. One girl in Switzerland, one girl in Greece, one in France. I don’t know what he’s doing or possibly it’s regular for Africans. However I’m shocked.

Throughout our conversations, many instances after I ask Brown Ideye why he spends time with me when he’s married, he tells me he’s married not due to love, however as a result of it’s like my companion for enterprise. And I can’t perceive the state of affairs.

He [Brown Ideye] says he doesn’t love [Damka], however she gave him assist in life and he desires to pay again.

If individuals have relationships, and other people have youngsters in Ukraine, in Europe and, I believe, in Nigeria, individuals maintain their youngsters. 

You recognize generally after I give it some thought, I believe [he’s] behaving this fashion as a result of he has cash. Once I met him in Dynamo (Kyiv) he didn’t have cash like this, however now he thinks he can do something he desires. However he should perceive.

In Ukraine, in Europe, alimony is similar as tax. And whenever you don’t pay taxes, you’ll go to jail, and Brown Ideye thinks as a result of he has cash he received’t go to jail, and that’s not true.

If he involves Ukraine now or Europe, the police would see Brown as a prison, he would go to jail.

Possibly as a result of he’s staying in Kuwait now or Nigeria, he thinks he received’t reply, however I’m hoping he’ll as a result of I would like the world to see the reality.

A lot of his pals write to me and say they can’t imagine he did this as a result of they see him as a very good individual. However he has two faces: one face of a very good soccer star and one other face that he received’t present the world.

He [Brown Ideye] should take into consideration his youngsters as a result of sooner or later they may develop up.

Joel opened Instagram and despatched him a message on why he doesn’t communicate with him and Michelle, after which he ghosted.

Brown Ideye should respect the legislation, he should respect the contract, he should pay alimony, and he should maintain his youngsters.

I can’t perceive why he treats individuals badly, together with his youngsters. It’s not regular.
