Popular Nigerian international footballer John Mikel Obi has gone against his family’s wish in Nigeria by dating a Russian woman.
.
The talented football star recently shared some romantic pictures of himself and his beautiful Russian girlfriend named Olga Diyachenko.
.
The 26-year-old footballer who was rumoured to be dating a Nigerian radio presenter, Oge Ogwo has done the opposite.
.
In a recent interview, Mikel Obi who sounds serious about his new white girlfriend said he will send fans his wedding invitation card soon.
.
Last year, his brother, Ebele Obi said in an interview that Mikel Obi can never marry a white woman.
.
Hear what his elder brother said about the situation last year:
.
“No, no, no! We cannot advise Mikel to marry a foreigner knowing full well what it involves. We’ll make him realize that if he gets married to a foreigner, whatever comes out of the marriage, he should be prepared to take it. I wouldn’t want my brother to be a victim of a failed marriage.
.
“Even when I visited him in London, I warned him about white ladies. I told him that even if he’s having a relationship with a white lady, it should stop at that; he should not allow such relationship to end up in marriage. I told him whenever he wants to settle down in marriage, he should come down to Nigeria and pick a wife. If he’s thinking towards the direction of getting married to a white lady, we are not in support of that. My parents are not in support of him getting married to a white. If he’s in a relationship, that’s just a relationship.”
.
On the contrary, Mikel seems very determined to marry his Russian girlfriend.
.
I think Mikel Obi is old enough to know what is right for him. Hope it works out for them.
