An Ilorin -based man , Abdul -Wasiu Omo -Dada , has drawn the ire of Nigerians for dumping his blue- eyed wife , Risikat Azeez .
The PUNCH , in an exclusive video , had reported that Omo - Dada rejected his wife and two daughters because of the colour of their eyes .
Azeez , who said she sees clearly with her eyes regardless of the colour , lamented that her husband , who married her that way , changed when she gave birth to two kids with the same set of eyeballs .
She narrated her experience of living with blue eyes , which is alien to the dark hue that most people have in this part of our world, to The PUNCH in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital .
The mother of two, who spoke in Yoruba Language , said , “I was born with these eyes and I also gave birth to my children with same pair of eyes . Since I was born , I have never had any challenge with my eyes . I have never been to the hospital due to any discomfort. I thank God .
“No one had this set of eyes before me in my family; both from my mother and father ’ s side . I ’m the first to have this kind of eyes . And when I started bearing children , they also have it and I did not regret that I have this set of eyes with my children.”
She further stated , “My husband whose name is Abdul Wasiu Omo -Dada is very aware of the condition of my eyes and he loved me for who I am . Things started getting bad when I had my first child and later my second child . He totally changed and he would shut me up and walk out on me whenever I tried to start a conversation with him .
“His parents even told him , ‘Will you keep on giving birth to children with this kind of eyes ?’ He changed to the extent that he would leave the house for a whole week before coming back home. There was no food and no provision that I had to go to my parents ’ place to feed .
“My parents later asked me to leave his house . Since I left till now, he has not shown up to ask why I left or ask after me .
“My first daughter who is almost five years old has never attended a school before but I will like them to be educated .”
Many Nigerians have since taken to social media to lampoon Omo - Dada for dereliction of fatherly duty .
A tweep, @Mosopemi , wrote , “I ’m just so surprised he had the first daughter with her then the second before deciding not to be with them anymore . Oh ! Didn ’t he see his woman ’s eyes before agreeing to be with her ?”
@Adebiyodeji stated , “He obviously needs an excuse to neglect his responsibilities . Unfortunately , the same man will wake up at age 60 and start telling the world how his family neglected him and begging to feed or start claiming “I am their father ” when they become successful. Shior !”

@007 Officer said , “I literally fall in love automatically with people with grey and blue eyes but some idiots desert their wives because of same . Some men truly are scum.”
@estherclimate stated , “ Very sad . . as someone with different eyes , I am angry for her . She has beautiful eyes and should not be shamed for her what she didn ’t have a hand in. ”
@Jesugbemileke said , “Ignorance is really killing people . Beautiful natural eyes that some people will have to buy contact lens to match . I Just imagined myself with that eye , damn I will always stand out . With this , the face of God has shined towards her . She is now an endorsement deal from Ilorin.”
@Danlerd said , “Some people go blind during surgery in an attempt to have blue eyes . God gave her the best of ocular beauty but well , the ignorant husband won ’t see that . Illiteracy. Maybe they told him she ’s the reason that he ’ s poor . I just hope he ’s Dangote that we know . ”
@ViktorKubowski tweeted , “This woman is so beautiful . Her eyes are to die for . Make the man talk wetin dey do am . May be he dey find boys . ”
@DrK _CVO wrote , “Thank God the mother and the girls have blue eyes . If to say it is just one of the daughter who has blue eyes and both the mother and one girl have black eyes , the husband would have accused the woman of cheating . ”
@kwaraguy said , “ She actually made the news because of her blue eyes . Men are becoming very irresponsible lately . Issues like this are common in Nigeria . Emergency fathers everywhere . ”
Uche Akolisa commented on Facebook , “Very beautiful woman with a disarming smile . When will men stand up to what they really want ? Allowing your parents to pressure into rejecting your wife and kids .”
Bright Igwe also wrote , “ Oh my goodness what beautiful people! God ’s work is beautiful no matter what eye colour you have . Your husband is ignorant . You and your children deserve better .
@Favourbenjaminphotography appreciated the woman and her kids on Instagram , saying , “Damn ! I would cherish this lady for those blues eyes if she was mine and I would love our kids and create stunning artistic portraits of them all over my home . Can you imagine the primitive nature of that community and husband ?”
@onajitephilips wrote , “She ’s so beautiful even the girls too . What mainstream and top modelling brands are looking for . Chai ! The husband just threw away gold . They say when the worth of a thing isn’ t known abuse is inevitable !”
