Yes magazine reports that, Joseph Yobo’s in laws are not happy with him because he is yet to marry their daughter traditionally. They said even Ojukwu did the needful when he married Bianca, so Yobo has no excuse.
''Former Super Eagles captain, Joseph Yobo, may have unknowingly
incurred the wrath of some of his wife’s people. Yobo’s wife, Adaeze, is
from Iru-Owelle Village in Awka Etiti, Idemili South local government
area of Anambra State. According to one of them who asked not to be
mentioned yet, their anger with the soccer star stems from the fact that
he’s yet to marry their daughter traditionally.
“Yobo has not
done Adaeze’s Igba Nkwu and that’s why we are not happy with him. You
are a Yoruba girl, but you can go and ask your publisher, Azuh Arinze.
He knows what Igba Nkwu means in Igboland, and he also knows that
without it, no man can be said to have truly and fully married a woman.
“We love Yobo as a footballer. We are also happy to have him as our
in-law, but our tradition must be followed and respected. Remember
Ojukwu and Bianca? In spite of their having a high society wedding in
Abuja and all that, when the time came, Ojukwu still had to return to
Ngwo (in Enugu) to marry Bianca traditionally because it is very, very
important. So, you can tell Yobo that we said his case cannot be any
different. He must marry our daughter traditionally. Simple”.
