Super Eagles Yusuf Ayila’s Shocking Revelation: “My Marriage Crashed Because Of What I Found In My Wife’s Wardrobe”

THEY cut the image of two love birds who would live and be happy forever; but the once vibrant love between Super Eagles’ erstwhile midfielder, Yusuf Ayila, and Aishat Gbemisola is heading for the rocks amidst claims and counterclaims between the hitherto well known Romeo and Juliet of Aguda, Surulere in Lagos!

Last week, both serious newspapers and local tabloids were loaded with the stories of how Ayila allegedly abandoned Gbemisola and their two children in the cold weather region of Ukraine. He has also purportedly married another wife with whom he now resides in Turkey where he is on loan to Orduspor from Dynamo Kiev.

But it seems the last may not have been heard on the face-off between Ayila and his estranged wife, Gbemisola, following the latest disclosure by a close confidant of the Super Eagles’ star at the 2010 World Cup that Gbemisola was ostensibly shown the red card for engaging in some diabolical act.

“Ayila didn’t neglect his family: the truth is that the so-called wife, Gbemisola, wants to kill and inherit his properties,” squealed Ola Muhammed, a confidant and publicist for the former Super Eagles’ star. “Whatever I’m telling you is as good as hearing it from the horse’s mouth because I have the mandate of Yusuf to let the public know the true story. Gbemisola just wanted to curry the sympathy of the public with her spurious claims of being abandoned with the kids.”

But what could have led to the breakdown in the relationship of what looked like a marriage made in heaven? Years ago, Yusuf and Gbemisola were lovey-dovey with sunny smiles in beautiful family portraits. There was this iconic photo of Yusuf cuddling a pregnant Gbemisola who was then carrying their second child but all of that is now a distant memory with the duo living separately in Turkey and Ukraine.

“First and foremost, I’ll like to state categorically that Gbemisola was never Yusuf’s legal wife as widely reported, rather she only had two kids for him,” Muhammed further stated. “They met years back and started casual dating but one thing led to another and that was how she had two children for him.”

Our correspondent gathered that Gbemisola was actually staying in Nigeria at one point while Yusuf was out there in Europe eking out a living. But the rumour mill was flowing with alleged escapades of Gbemisola with a top Lagos-based Fuji crooner on one part, even as she reportedly fell out with her mother in-law.

“ Trouble started when Yusuf requested that Gbemisola travel to Ukraine with the kids for holidays, but that was when everything he had been hearing about the mother of his children came into the fore, “ Muhammed alleged.“ Yusuf had heard so much about Gbemisola long before she arrived in Ukraine, but he didn’t take them seriously until one day when he opened her wardrobe only to find different charms including a dead snake inside a bottle filled with gin.”

It was learnt that Yusuf and Aishat had been dating since the late 1990s when they were students at Ansar-ud-Deen Secondary School (along Randle Street) in Surulere and everything was going smoothly until she finally left for Ukraine in 2011 to live with him.

Bobby, a close ally of Yusuf, who is based in Kiev. The Cameroonian is still in a state of shock about the turn of events.
“I was one of the few people that advised Yusuf to bring his wife to Ukraine,” he said in his passable English. “I asked him, why would you leave your wife and children in Nigeria and you say you love them?

“So I was happy that he brought them here. But we don’t know what happened between them when Yusuf left his family to rent another apartment before he eventually went on loan to Orduspor in Turkey,” he volunteered.

But there is no smoke without fire, the break-up between Yusuf and Aishat may not be unconnected with the former’s alleged secret marriage to one Lolade Aderogba.
“The accusation that Yusuf eloped with a mistress and abandoned his children is all lies,”

Mohammed stated emphatically. “Yusuf is a good Muslim and a responsible father who loves and still caters for his children till date. The lady in question is not a mistress, because he’s legally married to a very responsible, God -fearing lady who is his wife and not a mistress.”

While Yusuf seems to be enjoying a new lease of life in Turkey with another woman, his first family is barely surviving in Ukraine as their benefactor has allegedly failed to meet up with his responsibilities.

Apart from confiscating the travelling documents of Aishat and her children, Yusuf has reportedly refused to pay for their upkeep in last four months to the bewilderment of close friends and associates.

  1. Had it been that Yusuf prayed well before he got married to Aishat, he would not have received the worst shock of his life! Yusuf did not found what was hidden in Aishat’s heart before the Wedding, but he found what was hidden in Aishat’s Wardrobe! What a pity! Should Yusuf return all the Marriage Gifts on the Wedding Day with Aishat?

  2. The price is never awarded to the swift in a race of love but to the slow and steady who NEVER WAVERS rather stays on course until the finish line. Love is NEVER hurried! Beware of fly by night birds who suddenly claim to love when they know NOT what love is! How soon they fall by the wayside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
