In his words:
"You know me I like educating you all for free before I do anything. Cyber bullying is part of the 2015 cyber crime act of the federal republic of Nigeria. Note you are not bullying me oh, you can't bully me but you are bullying somebody that did not even do anything. Now you all know I don't care about you all.
"My heart I don't function like normal people own but now you are blaming somebody that mean everything to me. My wife is not the cause of your misfortune in life. If you have sense the insult and curse should be on me alone. I no really send your papa I'm the bad person here but nevertheless be careful the kind of information you spread about me or my family out there.
"Some people and their family are still suffering the consequences of what their children did on social media few months ago. Don't put your family in a lifetime financial ruin because of small likes and temporary attention you will get on social media. They won't even know when you are gone or maybe you won't be gone but you will pay fine and I'll dash my lawyer and police the fine because I don't need it."
Reactions trail Ahmed Yusuf and Safiya's divorce
Nigerians have been reacting to the news of Ahmed Yusuf's divorce from his first wife Safiya.
@Amed said:
"I remember the reaction of her sister when Ahmed got married to safeera, it just shows that they were not happy with the decision and it caused a lot of trouble in the marriage, but if safiya finds it difficult to accept safeera as a second wife then imagine how safeera must have felt when Ahmed married safiya."
@eh_lla said:
"He actually didn’t meet the love of his life after getting married, safiyya knew about the second wife and she knows they weee both in love. I might not know why he married her first but she knew what she was going into."
@q.lailah said:
"I liked how even Ahmed wanted Safiya to speak on it when she was ready, not Safeera been anxious to let everybody know and kept on reposting stuffs about her been divorced, plus Safeera shouldn’t thinks it’s going to be just her in his house, lol!! E go shock her eehhnnnn!!!"
@EMANELLA said:
"That last line no join. Ahmed didn’t meet the love of his life after marrying safiya. He met the love of his life before marrying safiya and safiya knew that. It has always been Ahmed and safeera and I’m happy they ended up being together."
@Bisolarmi said:
"No one turned Safiya into a villain oo. None of them are coming out complain about the marriage or about each other, so who are to judge them as if we know the whole story."
@Ty said:
'If na u, you go give up ur hard work aunty I won’t leave my man ooo if it was me too safeera had to enjoy wat she worked for."
@Sarauniya Bilkis added:
"Which one is “May your husband not find the love of his life after marrying you?” Safiya knew the love of his life BEFORE she agreed to marry him. So this context doesn’t apply here."
Safiya's lawyer on divorce
Safiya's lawyer, Hamza Nuhu Dantani, said his client is making her divorce public so people who keep assuming she is still a married woman.
His statement read in part:
"It is based on Safiya’s (XM's ex-wife) consent, approval, and kind permission, as her Counsel, I am Authorized and compelled to infor the General Public, although she has written it herself on her verified IG page for public consumption! That she has been divorced (3X) for almost 5 months, The reason is that she is willing to get married to another. Keeping this issue private kept her lonely, depressed and prevented her from getting another man, as everyone assumed she was a married woman."
