Well that is how the her in-laws are seeing it, according to YES

This is what one of her people said
This is what one of her people said
My names are Elochukwu Chris Ekejimbe or Chris Ekejimbe,
Jnr. But I’ve rebranded myself. Initially, it was Chris Ekejimbe, Jnr
"Well, I am not aware that one of our daughters is married to Joseph Yobo. Joseph Yobo is one of my favourite footballers; I love him with a passion. He’s a G. He’s a very talented footballer. But, yes, I know he has a wife and I know the girl in question is my sister, from Iru Owelle. Adaeze’s father is Ikechukwu Igwe; presently the chairman of Iru Owelle in Iru Owelle, Awka Etiti. And I am not aware that Yobo formally married Adaeze.

There’s no Igba Nkwu, there’s nothing. We will be excited to have Yobo in Awka Etiti. Let him come to Awka Etiti and fulfil all righteousness.I’m surprised that Yobo hasn’t bothered to go find out where his wife is from.Igba Nkwu is the traditional part of marriage. Like I said, in spite of my Western adventures, I’m a staunch believer in the African traditions.
I believe a lot in African mystics, myths. Igba Nkwu is a kind of ceremony that first of all acknowledges the union between two people. It’s the first process that acknowledges the union between the two people; the union is traditionally acknowledged. In the olden days in Igbo land, it’s believed that when there’s no Igba Nkwu, you are not properly married to the lady.
So, the gods of the land will be against you…Igba Nkwu is supposed to be done on the soil where the girl is from"

All ds villiage people & their wahala,I remember my wedding day,my wife and I did not believe in all traditional stuff,we left it for my father in-law to deal with them,sent money and that was that.Case close
They shld do the right thing,if its money to fulfil what they want Yobo has it,traditional marriage is the real thing.Vivien you are ibo,you shld know the old man is right
Kids of nowadays,they are all trying too hard to be westernised,tradition is tradition
Lack of father figure,Adaeze's mother was single when Yobo married her
Hmmm
It was hush hush because she took in,but by now Yobo ought have done the proper thing,appease her people its a sign of respect.
