‎He later tendered a public apology over the way he announced the end of his marriage.

‎In a post published on her Substack, Memoirs of a Single Nigerian Twin Mum with ADHD, on Tuesday, August 18, 2026, she revealed that her marriage ended In July 2024, when their sons were two.

‎The mother of two shared that she fell in love with another man months after the divorce, but it ended in heartbreak.

‎“There is a saying that men will stain your white,” she wrote.

‎Halima admitted she never had much faith in marriage and knew hers would end before it even began because she grew up believing men are safe places.

‎”Imagine entering a marriage already preparing for its funeral,” she wrote.

‎She compared her love for white clothing, despite constant stains, to her deep faith in love alongside her scepticism of men.

‎“For someone with so little faith in men, I have a ridiculous amount of faith in love,” she added. (LEADERSHIP)
