Adaeze Yobo opens up on how she met, got pregnant and married Joseph Yobo

Speaking with Sun News, former beauty queen and Joseph Yobo's wife, Adaeze Igwe Yobo, opened up on how they met, how fast they got married, and the joys motherhood. Excerpts below...

How did you meet your hus­band?
I met him in Nigeria through a friend at an event. From there, we became close friends. I became pregnant and we got married im­mediately. Everything happened in a very short time. A lot of people thought it wasn’t going to work but at that moment, I knew I felt something I had never felt with anyone in my life and I said to myself, why not take that chance? I’m quite prayerful , so I knew there’s no way I could err, though I never planned getting married so early. I had so many dreams of what I wanted in life. Mar­riage was the last thing on my mind. It hap­pened so fast and I thought I should give it a shot. Continue...
So, what attracted you to him?
When we first met, I didn’t know who he was really. He didn’t know that I was the most beautiful girl in Nigeria. When I knew he was a footballer, I said to myself this relation­ship might not work or lead us anywhere, because of the lifestyle of some footballers who have so many girlfriends.
Do you regret marrying him?
Not at all. No marriage can ever be perfect. Even my relationship with my mum can never be perfect. I have never regretted any moment with my husband and I always say to my sisters and cousins that I don’t know what I could have been without my hus­band. I wondered the kind of man I would have ended up with if I didn’t marry him. I thank God that He planned my life and I’m living the life He planned for me. God has been gracious to me in every way.
When exactly did you leave Nige­ria?
As soon as I met my husband, I left the shores of Nigeria for further studies. I went to New York. I got married in 2009 and in 2010, I had my son.
What do you miss about Nige­ria?
I have been coming for Christmas. I usual­ly spend two weeks intermittently in Nigeria and return , because I’m in school. I’m study­ing New Media in Turkey. I miss Nigeria a lot because of fashion and music back home.
What’s it like being a mother?
It’s been a wonderful experience being mother to this wonderful son of mine. When the little boy came out from my body, I dis­covered that he’s my first real love. I thought I was in love with my husband not until I saw my son. I have never loved somebody that much in my life.

you probably got married because you were pregnant....in hindsight i believe you might have giving it at least 1 year....cos you will start the courtship inside marriage with a baby in tow not the most pleasant experience if you want to be truthful..

Didymus Tartengeer said...

Hush, u were in Nigeria and did not know who yobo is huh? I bet u had sex on ur first date with him

Unknown said...

U rite dear the joy of child keeps the family more stronger that anytin on earth. Mostly when u don't like the man in question or the man don't like u, after child birth the love will be more stronger than u expected

It is clear she is just there for the money. she started feeling something she never felt in a long time due to realization that Yobo is mega rich....Na money my dear make u get belle straight....

"I knew I felt something I had never felt with anyone in my life..." Ofcourse na, u felt the money....which you have never felt in your entire life.....mumupikin

Anonymous said...

You met him through a friend...I am guessing you meant introduced? So no introduction was made prior to the "eventual meeting" right? He must be a bench warmer for the Nigerian national team or an unknown footballer for you not to have heard about him before the "meeting". Next time, get your lies...oh I mean facts right! We are not all gullible...you owe nobody any explanations, he's your hubby already!

Adaeze so u've just been married less than 4 years, if u were wise u would actually stay off d news, u are always in d news like u've been married 10 years, ur hubby dis, ur hubby dat, scandals et al, it shows how poverty dealt with u before. U never expected to get here. Even ur husband, d footballer is not in d news as u. Can't u see amarachi kanu that even had a star studded wedding with a mammoth crowd, and her hubby is even a bigger star than urs, with his foundation, yet she has been married over 10 years 3 kids and not all ds notice me. U better sock it from now on. Even see nkechi okocha. They are all humble.

It is very possible that she didn't know him...shes a chik n probably doesn't/didn't watch football. I met Victor Moses few years back, had a full conversation with him and still didn't know he was a footballer until hours later.....

Me I dnt even knw many footballers. I knew about Adaeze long ago. It was when Joseph married her that I first heard about him. Girls are somtimes not really football people. Apart 4rm Joseph Mikel n 0kocha n I heard of Mikel jst this year..lol I dnt knw any other footballer. She may nt be tellin the truth but its very possible. ----C21

Akpu said...

In other words, she knew him so well and trapped him with pregnancy, that was the game plan and it worked. Good for her. Sharp girl.

Lol. You are just too funny. She not only felt money, she smelt it even when they were having sex on their first date. Desperado!

mary said...

Adaeze, you seem to love attention very much, my dear slow down with all these your marriage and husband interviews and stay off for a while, all you do is flaunt material things on social media, not my business anyway, but pls borrow a leaf from Amarachi Nwankwo, whose Hubby is even a bigger star in the football world but you don't even get to hear about her, she married quite early and has been married for 10 years with 3 kids, her hubby kanu can afford to give her anything in this world and yet she humbly stays away from the media and others.

AMIJEZ said...

Always in the news, i guess she never expected to marry a rich man. If I were her, I'll lie low and try to earn some respect for myself, cos she gat none.

I WANT TO USE THESE MEDIUM TO ENCOURAGE MAN AND WOMAN THAT ARE HEART BROKEN , IN PAIN OR DEPRESSED BECAUSE OF THEIR MARRIAGE OR LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP TO FORGET ABOUT THERE WORRIES FOR THE WILL GET THE HELP THE WANT OR HAPPIENESS BACK.I was married to my husband for 4 years and all of a sudden he started seeing another lady (his mistress).he started hailing at me and he was abusive.. and he hated me , but I still loved him with all my heart . the situation made me unsettle and not to focus at work .so a friend told me about trying (prophet salifu )spiritual means to get my husband back and introduced me to him ? i did not listen to her and hoped that my husband will come back home . after 9 month of seperation and depression , it got out of hand and my husband came back home to break the news to me that he want a divorce that he is getting married to his mistress .Hmmm it was so shocking to me ,i felt sad and more depressed ,so i contacted my friend again and decieded to try to use spiritual means reluctantly..although I didn't believe in all those things? I never thought in a million years that i will get my husband back to me a again. but I was proved wrong.after 24 hours, my husband came back and was pleading..he had realized his mistakes..i just couldn't believe it that we are back together. I am deeply satisfied and thankful with prophet salifu work .if you also want to fix you marriage or relationship email him at prophetsalifu@yahoo.com or prophetsalifu@gmail.com , his work is for a better life .

She didn't know Yobo is a footballer?...that one na Joncing. According to her, she was introduced to Yobo by a friend.....the truth is that, there is no way her friend would introduce her to Yobo without mentioning he is a footballer. For Christ's sake, Yobo had been a prominent member of the Super Eagles for years. Something tells me that, she purposely allowed herself to get pregnant....to tie Yobo down
