At this time and age, some family are still dictating where a man will marry from. In a recent
interview, Mikel Obi's elder brother, Ebele talks about his social life, love
life and that of his brother, Mikel;
Sex and romanceAs a footballer and as a popular figure, one must learn
to cope with every situation that comes his way. Concerning my social life, I’m
currently into a relationship and I don’t want to be distracted. I want to be
focused and keep on praying that everything works out fine so that I can settle
down with the same person I’m into a relation with. I’m not carried away with
my brother’s wealth. No doubt girls come around me but I remain focused on my
career. Mikel too is into a relationship at the moment right there in the
United Kingdom. When you stick to one person at a time, I think it saves you a
lot of trouble. But when you jump from one today to another tomorrow, you
create room for every other girl to come in. We are not on that track at all.
Mikel won’t marry a white lady
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.
