That’s according to YES International magazine. The magazine
says, 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. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
''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. </div>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a>“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”.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Igba Nkwu, indeed, is very important in Igbo land. Besides
uniting the two families and formalizing the relationship traditionally, it’s
also an avenue for the couple to exchange drinks publicly and announce to the
whole world that they are now one. The format is usually to hand over to the
bride a glass filled with Nkwu Enu (up wine), and amidst dancing around the
arena; accompanied by her friends, she locates the groom, hands over the drink
to him, he drinks and follows her to her parents. Both will now kneel and be
prayed for, with merriment following later.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Adaeze’s father is the grandson of the GMO boss, Chief J.O.
Igwe. GMO used to be into serious business and was one of the first Igbo
companies, as far back as 1982, to donate N2million to a cause. This was when
Dollar exchanged one for about N80. “GMO was the Dangote of that time in the
East. The man was a member of People’s Club, the biggest social club, East of
the Niger, at the time. Oliver de Coque and Osita Osadebe sang his praise in
their albums”. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sources close to Yobo told us that he was ready and willing
to do the Igba Nkwu but for kidnapping which was rampant in Anambra State then.
“That was what scared him away. Yobo is a big boy. I mean, we all saw how big
his white weeding was, in spite of the fact that he didn’t announce it to the
whole world then”. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yobo, it would be recalled, had his church wedding in Jos,
Plateau State in 2008. Currently blessed with a child, YES International!
investigation revealed that he had met with Adaeze’s father, Mr. Ikechukwu
Igwe, for some form of introduction in Lagos and not Igba Nkwu. When we
contacted Mr. Igwe, on Thursday, February 13, 2014, he maintained that he
doesn’t have any issue with his daughter and her husband. “I don’t have any
problem with them at all and it’s not true that I’m not happy with them over
anything”. On their inability to perform the Igba Nkwu ceremonies yet, he said
he was happy with Adaeze as his daughter and Yobo as his son in-law and that’s
what’s important. “Don’t listen to whoever is telling you anything on the
contrary”. But still seething with rage, one of the in-laws said: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<br />

“Ask Yobo whether he knows where Iru-Owelle is. Ask him also
whether he has been to Iru-Owelle. Our people don’t do traditional marriages in
Lagos, so whatever they claim to have done there doesn’t concern us. If he
wants to marry our daughter, he should come to our village''.<br />

Xclusive: Joseph Yobo Vows To Sue National Enquirer Over Story That He Chased His Mother In Law Away

<br />
According to an interview Yobo granted Maestro's Media, he is so pissed with what the magazine had written about him and his extended family, and this time he is not taking it lying low.

National Enquirer had written some days ago that Joseph and Adaeze's marriage is at the moment experiencing some turbulence. 
Reason being that Adaeze’s mother, Mrs. Abigail Igwe Fashanu now sworn enemies with her son in 
law is bent on crashing his marriage.
She allegedly controls the marriage, that she advised her daughter against getting pregnant for Yobo even after Joey, their son is almost three.
The reason she reportedly gave her daughter is because she needed to get back into her sexy shape just in case things no longer work out between her and her 'Plateau' born hubby and might require her re-marrying.
Reacting to the publication, Yobo said:

''There's is no iota of truth in the report that has gained grounds of recent. There was no encounter of the such that was described to have happened between my mother-in-law and I.
We as a family are in the best of place in our lives currently. Someone from some place, just sat down and decided to construct a lie: a total fabrication from their own imagination.<br />
 <b><i>I love my wife and I love her very much, nothing anyone does can bring any division between us and between our families. The Yobos & the Fashanus have a great relationship, a fantastic one at that and very good mutual respect for each other, and we thank God for that.
There was never a time that I sent my Mother-in-Law packing from my home for being a bad influence on her own daughter, who is my wife. How can people just come up with stories about what never happened.
We have no problems at all'. We have 2 great houses next to each other in Istanbul, Turkey that is big enough to accommodate our families, without anyone invading on anyone's privacy. They are just trying to destroy the 2 families.
When we first came across the stories, we thought okay it was just one of those silly little gossips and that it would soon fade away and be forgotten. Only for us to read it and found out it was very well orchestrated pack of lies, from the beginning to the end of it: they didn't even know where I am from and claimed I am from Plateau State.
They constructed lies about my mother-in-law and her family, claiming all that is not true and that they have no proof of. Most definitely, this is just somebody trying to damage these families. I can tell you categorically, I would not swap my wife for anybody in this world, no woman from anywhere can take her place, she means the world to me.
The number of calls we have received over this falsehood is unbelievable. People calling to find out what was going on.
I tell you now and this is the absolute truth- 'My wife is my best friend, she's my queen, she's my everything, our families are doing great and doing very well together. Anyone thinking otherwise is only wasting his or her time.
I am not going to allow anyone disrespect my Mother-in-law wrongfully. I am not going to accept this. They have stepped way out of line this time and I am not going to take it lying low. We would definitely seek legal redress.</i></b>
