My Wife Is The Secret Behind My Premier League Success – Jude Odion Ighalo

 

It is true that just having a wonderful job does not bring ultimate fulfillment. If your relationship is in turmoil, you would not have the heart or peace to enjoy the success or proceeds of your labour.

Having a stable marriage, especially to a loving spouse whom one cherishes, is one of the best tonics that propel people to become successful in their career. This is why having a great career and a wonderful marriage is perhaps one of the greatest dreams of many young people.

And you would not be to say Odion Ighalo is living his dream.

The Watford FC star has attributed his success in the ongoing English Premier League (EPL) to his wife, Sonia. He praised and acknowledged his wife’s role after scoring his eighth goal of the season in Watford's 3-2 victory over Aston Villa on Saturday November 28.

 

As the ball hit the inside of the net, Ighalo turned, with hands up and fingers pointed towards the heavens, in acknowledgement of the divine in his now familiar celebration style.

However, what the 26-year-old has never spoken about, until now, is the impact of a settled homestead as the reason for his success.

The striker told Goal that his marriage to beautiful Sonia, which clocked six years a few days ago, has made him a complete person and put him in a good state of mind.

The Nigeria forward and his wife have three children.

“I want to say that my marriage which marked six years recently has made me to be a complete man,” Ighalo said.

“My wife has been very crucial to my impressive career. She has been able to build a good home and she makes me and the children happy. She is everything to me.”
