He wrote on social media:<\/p>\n<p>Leaving my ex-wife was undoubtedly one of the MOST DIFFICULT decisions I have ever had to make in my life.<\/p>\n<p>Not only because I was used to her presence, but I love my children John and Minana INCREDIBLY.<\/p>\n<p>However, our marriage faced IRRECONCILABLE differences that made it impossible to continue.<\/p>\n<p>She struggled to get along with my family, including my DEAR late mother and all my 6 sisters, and the constant fighting became too overwhelming for me.<\/p>\n<p>It reached a point where I felt that the person I was fighting for was not making an effort to support me when the world had turned its back on me.<\/p>\n<p>This made the marriage IRRETRIEVABLY broken down. Despite these challenges, she remains a GREAT mother and a good person, and I continue to look after her exceptionally well and respect her as such.<\/p>\n<p>Sonja quickly responded, criticizing her ex-husband for \u201calways making noise on the internet\u201d, adding that they hadn\u2019t seen each other in seven months. In a series of Instagram stories, she said:<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t care who you marry. Marry and move&#8230; Respect your business partners, respect the offices you go in.<\/p>\n<p>Why are you always making noise on the internet? Aren\u2019t you supposed to be at church?
