*Joseph Yobo and his wife
Wife of Super Eagles' captain, Adaeze Yobo has finally come out to rubbish reports making the round that members of her family are angry with Joseph Yobo for not marrying her in the traditional way.
There have been rumours speculating in the media for some weeks that the Eagles skipper's in-laws are extremely angry with him because he is yet to marry Adaeze traditionally.
All this is not true, Adaeze’s Nigeria media representative, Abiola Aloba has said.
“The story is a misrepresentation of Joseph Yobo’s marital status. I spoke with his wife, Adaeze in Istanbul, Turkey few days ago, she just laughed it off. She said it’s only her father who can claim such and not one faceless person, who has no trace or identity."
“The whole thing is a distraction and should not be taken seriously. Adaeze's mother has been with her for the past one week and I believe if there was a problem she wouldn’t be staying that long in the first place,” Aloba added.
The Igwes from Iru-Owelle village in Awka, Anambra State, where the wife hailed from are said to give
recognition to the Igba Nkwu (traditional wedding) more than white wedding. And without that, the marriage is not yet done.
Joseph and Adaeze were joined in holy matrimony on December 31, 2009, at the Evangelical Bible Outreach Ministries International, Prayer City, Jos, Plateau State. The couple celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary in December, 2013. Presently, they are blessed with a baby boy.
