All is not well in the home front of Nigeria's former national team football captain, Austin Jay Jay Okocha, First Weekly Magazine has learnt.
An insider told us in confidence that the gifted master dribbler is not enjoying his marriage of over ten years at the moment, all because of allegations of infidelity against him by his beautiful wife, Nkechi.
Meanwhile, we learnt that Okocha has also been dribbling and scoring free kicks in between the thighs of many society girls in Lagos after his retirement.
Recently, Okocha had a shouting match with Nkechi which caused a lot of trouble. We were told that the former BBC African footballer of the year had planned to fly to Abuja with one of his girlfriends to have a good time together.
On the appointed date, Okocha told the lady to go and wait for him at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Terminal 2 (MM2) in Ikeja, Lagos. The lady got to the airport early and waited for several hours without any sign of her lover boy's arrival.
When she got tired of waiting, the lady reportedly began to call Okocha's mobile phone. We gathered that while the lady was busy calling, Okocha was still in his house taking his bath. And as the call persisted, the source said Okocha's wife, Nkechi picked it.
Not knowing that it was Mrs. Okocha that picked the call, the lady just started blabbing, complaining that she had stayed too long at the airport waiting, and would not go again if he doesn't show up on time. Nkechi reportedly listened so well, and after she heard enough, she shouted at the lady at the other end and began to rain curses on her. Okocha's lover quickly cut off the line and switched the phone off.
We were told that Nkechi immediately stormed the bathroom and began to shout at Okocha, who also shouted back at her. When Nkechi refused to stop and even resorted to abuses, First Weekly learnt that Okocha pounced on her and gave her some beatings.
We were told that Nkechi just broke down into tears and began to cry. Though Okocha's plan that day was destroyed, our source said his house is still on fire.
Meanwhile, some friends of Okocha and family members have waded into the matter, begging Nkechi to forget the whole issue and continue to be a loving wife to her husband.
