Footballer divorces Miss Nigeria 2013, marries 2014 winner

The footballer tied the knot with Miss Nigeria 2014, Iheoma Nnadi, but rumours are rife that he went in for the new wife after dumping the 2013 winner, Ezinne Akudo Anyaoha.

Reports making the rounds in Nigerian media suggest that the country’s international footballer, Emmanuel Chinenye Emenike who got married to the winner of 2014 edition of miss Nigeria just last week had allegedly divorced the 2013 winner before going for her successor.

The claim was first made by Nigerian recording artist, singer and songwriter, Ayoleyi Hanniel Solomon, better known by his stage name Reekado Banks.

He posted photos of the footballer and his newly wedded wife on microblogging site, Instagram saying: “This is Emmanuel Emenike. He divorced with Miss Nigeria 2013 and last week he married to Miss Nigeria 2014.”
