Adaeze Yobo is a model and former beauty queen who is also the wife of immediate past Super Eagles captain, Joseph Yobo.
The pretty mother of one, who got married to the soccer star four years ago, on December 31, 2009 at a crossover service at the El-Buba Outreach Ministries International/Evangelical Bible Outreach Ministries International Church in Jos, Plateau State to be precise, has revealed how her ego made the first two years of her marriage very turbulent.
In a recent and lengthy post on her Instagram page, Adaeze was probably trying to teach young married women a thing or two about how to manage their relationship with their husbands and used herself as a case study.
Adaeze, whose first claim to fame is tied to winning the MBGN in 2008, wrote: ‘This reminded me so much of the first 2years of my marriage (when I had too much ego, it was all about me and what ‘I deserve’) I will always randomly have in mind that my husband should know ‘we gotta go out’ I would seat my ass down all the time and just get mad, I mean doesn’t he know? I won’t even tell him nonsense! It wasn’t that I desperately wanted to go out because most of the time, we did we had nothing to say to each other but my ‘I deserve mentality’ my after all, I’m the woman the queen mentality, was my motivating factor. Just texting or calling my hubby to say ‘hey babe, there is this restaurant that makes the best prawns (his fav) let’s casually gob after your training. Was what I should have said but here is what I actually said for 2 years, ‘Joe (which is what I call him wen am mad) everybody went to that restaurant on that street and even last night this persons husband took her’. Then he goes from 0-100 in like 2.2 seconds and then my ego kicks in. (You don’t want to know how fast I also went kuku) and no one ends up eating I always said to the people that I complain to, ‘How dare he? Just because I want us to go out and have a nice dinner, don’t I deserve it eh’? Anyway, the moral of this (long) story, is that when I changed from my ‘I deserve’ mentality to ‘we deserve’ slowly, the tables turned. Now he makes our date plan calendar for a month I lost out on seeing that soft amazing person he is for the first 2years because I was always ready to fire, after all he should have read the manual before marriage.’
