Adaeze, the wife of Joseph Yobo, former Super Eagles
defender and captain, says she was scared when he retired from football.
The entrepreneur spoke about her husband’s retirement during
a show hosted by Mercy Johnson Okojie.
Adaeze said she was happy about the retirement at first
because it helped the family settle.
She, however, said she was scared he might get “depressed”
afterward because “football is all he does”.
“I was happy he
retired, we traveled around, moved around, and stayed around different cities,
so I was happy we finally get to settle, on my own side,” she said.
“But I had the fear of how he will cope because this is what
he has been doing all his life. He wakes up in the morning, breathes, and does
football.
“You know he won’t want to talk so when I said ‘you need to
start thinking what will you do, are you not going to feel depressed?’ he said
no.
“But the otherwise
scared me so I had to prepare and I had to talk him through and tell him ‘you
know it is okay to tell when you are feeling sad’ but then he came out okay.”
Adaeze also revealed how she met Yobo.
“We met at an event and he came to me saying he wants to be
friends with me. Within one month, he gave me a promise ring and he said he
wanted to marry me but I thought he was joking,” he said.
“Then he traveled, he called me on the phone and started
making arrangements two months after he proposed to me at the airport.”
