Footballers are known for their flashy lifestyles. Their appetite for cars and expensive jewellery, which are fuelled by the huge sums of money they earn, but behind every successful man, there is a woman, goes a popular saying. Nigerian footballers aren’t different. Solape Lawal-Solarin brings to you the beauties (wives and girlfriends) that have captured the hearts of Nigeria’s top football stars. Mikel’s partner Olga. Mikel’s Russian partner Olga recently caused a stir on social media with reports that she and the couple’s twins Ava and Mia, would no longer visit the Trabzonspor midfielder in Turkey, because of their dislike for the country. The reports stated that Olga was not happy with the 32-year-old’s move to Turkey, adding that the relationship between the couple had gone sour. During Mikel’s time at Chelsea, the couple welcomed their twins in 2015 after dating for two years. Esty Onyekuru. Monaco and Eagles forward Henry Onyekuru didn’t waste time settling down with Esty, his fiancée of many years. Immediately after the Eagles’ third-place finish at the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, Onyekuru tied the knots with Esty, mother of his one-year-old son in Benin, Edo State, with a number of his national teammates in attendance. Kenneth Omeruo, Chidozie Awaziem, Oghenekaro Etebo and John Ogu were present at the event alongside Nollywood actor Chinedu Ikedieze popularly known as Aki. Onyekuru completed a £20m move from Everton to Monaco this season. Chioma Omeruo. Kenneth Omeruo married his wife Chioma Nnamani in 2017 and the couple is blessed with a baby girl called Chairein. Less than a year later, Chioma courted controversy when she described Nigerian legend Austin Okocha as a “mad man.” Okocha, a TV pundit for the 2018 World Cup, had blamed Omeruo for Lionel Messi’s goal in the Eagles 2-1 defeat to Argentina on Tuesday, and Chiomawasted no time in hitting back. Chioma then took to her Instagram page to lash out at the former Nigeria captain, saying,“What magic do you want him to do? You mad man.”
