Fenerbache F.C centre back -- Joseph Yobo.
In a recent interview with Daily Sun, Adaeze Yobo talked about her
life as a mother and wife.
Read excerpts below: -
When exactly did you leave Nige-ria?
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.
How did you meet your hus-band?
I met him in Nigeria through a friend at an event. From there, we
became close friends. I became pregnant and we got married
im-mediately. 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. Mar-riage was
the last thing on my mind. It hap-pened so fast and I thought I should
give it a shot.
So, what attracted you to him?
When we first met, I didn't know who he is 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 relation-ship 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 hus-band. 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.
You've remained so beautiful, what's the secret?
I'm a product junky. I buy things and when I get bored I just buy
another one. I have all sorts of make up. When I learn of a product
that clears acne , I buy and if I'm told the next day another product
prevents stretch marks, I buy it. I have loads of body treat-ment
products and I use and dump them because I can't use everything.
What kind of things do you wear, your dress sense?
If I go shopping and see shoes that I am not comfortable in, that's
what I'm attracted to. If I see shoes that are so difficult to walk
in, that's what I love to buy. I remember at the question and answer
session at MBGN pageant, when I was asked about my style, I replied
that style is wearing whatever you are comfortable in but now my
response to that question has changed. For me, anything that I'm not
comfortable in is what I'm ac-tually attracted to these days. If it's
a dress that is uncomfortable that is what I love to buy. I love
things that stand out . I love colors, I love to be seen and known. I
have loads of yellow stuffs because it's attractive.
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 dis-covered 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.
