Sheila Courage, the estranged wife of popular music executive Israel DMW, has set social media buzzing after publicly congratulating her former husband on his latest achievement.
Israel DMW, who manages logistics for Afrobeats superstar Davido, recently shared a video on Instagram showcasing a house he has been building for seven months in his hometown in Edo State.
The post drew admiration from fans and well-wishers, as Israel described the project as a long-held dream finally coming true.
In the caption accompanying the video, Israel wrote: “My seven-month village project, soon to be commissioned by God’s grace. One of my prayers is to own two houses in my life, in Edo State. Thank you, God Almighty. Thanks to Oga and Madam.”
Among the many comments, one stood out: Sheila Courage, Israel’s ex-wife, took to the comment section to congratulate him. Her gesture immediately attracted attention, with netizens expressing mixed opinions about her motives.
Social media users react to Courage’s comment
Some fans viewed Sheila’s comment as a genuine display of goodwill. “She has always wanted him to grow,” wrote one user, @successful_winner.
@gracejucan, added, “That like go sweet Israel ehn, but I guess she wanted the best for him regardless.”
@olami_83 simply commented, “She does have courage.”
However, not all reactions were positive. Some social media users questioned Sheila’s intentions, suggesting her gesture was motivated by material interests.
@omoakajegeshin wrote, “Women dey quick associate with success.”
@iamjxtprisca commented, “All of a sudden she had always wanted the best for him.”
@mbala_ukpo joked, “My gender! Very soon we will see ‘My king and I never separated, it was just for the blogs.’ Israel no gree sha.”
@ms_jei, highlighted the irony, saying, “And na this same boy boy work give am money to build this house. You wey no dey do boy boy you get house?”
@callme_ade_nike wrote, “They are not enemies, you all should let them breathe, they might marry again.”
Israel and Sheila’s marriage ended in divorce after less than a year. Reports at the time detailed accusations of abuse and disrespect from both sides, adding tension to what was otherwise a high-profile union.
Despite the controversies surrounding their separation, Sheila’s public congratulations on Israel’s new house demonstrate that not all relationships end in hostility.
The online debate shows the strong interest Nigerians have in the personal lives of public figures, especially when achievements and reconciliations are involved.
As Israel prepares to officially inaugurate his new Edo State home, social media will likely continue to follow every development, with fans and critics ready to weigh in on every post. For now, Sheila Courage’s gesture remains a headline-grabbing moment, highlighting both generosity and controversy in equal measure.
