Nigerian footballer Emmanuel Emenike is among a number of celebrities and dignitaries who have stormed Oba in Anambra state for the burial of Obi Cubana’s late mother.

The beautiful wife of the former Super Eagles striker Iheoma Nnadi has hailed her hubby as she branded him as “Odogwu” following his arrival at the party.

Odogwu is an Igbo name for boys, meaning victor or leader; and following his exploits and philanthropy, Emenike’s wife sees him as one.

Despite retiring from international football in 2015, the 33-year-old forward recently fulfilled his promise to the people of his home town in Imo state.

He has given back to society in a big way as the former Super Eagles striker recently completed a world class hospital in his hometown as seen on Instagram.

The two-storey building is located along the highway in Owerri, which can be accessible to people to have quality health services.

Only recently, the former Fenerbahce of Turkey forward also opened multi-million Naira medical consultants hospital in Owerri, the Imo state capital. He has also been a close pal of Obi Cubana and has now arrived in Oba to support the socialite in the burial of his late mother.

Emenike who lives in Owerri, which is about an hour away, left his home in a convoy of no fewer than seven luxury cars. He personally shared a clip which his wife added the comment “Odogwu you bad.”
