According to her, the family had agreed to go see a movie together, and everyone got dressed and ready for the date.
However, things took an unexpected turn when she came upstairs from getting ready and found Paul still in his house clothes.
When she asked why he wasn’t dressed, the singer reportedly told her he would not be joining them and asked her and the family to go without him, offering his card instead.

Ifeoma disclosed that Paul chose to stay back because he was watching soccer. She noted that the music star is a die-hard football fan and jokingly prayed for him to be “delivered” from his love for the game.
Sharing her frustration in a humorous tone, Ifeoma wondered if other women had experienced the same thing with their partners or if hers was “broken.” She also questioned if such behaviour was common among Igbo men.
Despite being disappointed, Ifeoma said she went ahead with the family movie outing.
They watched Behind the Scenes, and she admitted she struggled to hold back tears, joking that she managed because she is “a big girl.”
In her words: “Story time: I planned a family movie date with this man. Matter of fact, it was HIS idea. The day came, we all got ready, only for me to come upstairs from my beauty room and see him still sitting there in his house clothes. We were already late, btw (cons of being a woman). I said, “Why are you not dressed yet? You’re not going?” He said, “I’m not going. You guys can go, take my card” Guess what he was doing? Watching soccer! This man can cancel plans just for soccer!!! God, “release asss” from the shackles.

Anyway, we finished getting ready and left. We saw Behind The Scenes, and I held myself back from crying like a pro because I’m a big girl. Does anyone else’s man do the same thing, or did mine come broken? I think it’s an Igbo man thing, or maybe not?”
