Ex-Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria Adaeze Igwe officially engaged to Everton footballer Joseph Yobo
Posted on Saturday, November 14th, 2009 at 8:51 AMBy BellaNaija.com
Months after they were first spotted at Rita Dominic’s birthday party and weeks after the news of their engagement broke via Stella Dimoko-Korkus, Everton FC defender Joseph Yobo and 2008 Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria Adaeze Igwe have officially announced their engagement. Rather than going for a traditional engagement ring, Yobo presented Adaeze with a unique ring – a diamond encrusted band with a heart shaped attachment.
The bride-to-be Adaeze represented Nigeria at the 2008 Miss World competition and she recently completed a course at the New York Film Academy while the prospective groom is set to play in Nigeria’s World Cup qualifier against Tunisia today.
Cute couple! Wishing them all the best.

I thought she was like 19? Anyway, congrats to them.
hmmm….we’re watching…
lol…is that a paparazzi shot of them?
Congrats to them. But i can’t help but feel this is all for ‘show’ or they’re trying to imitate ‘WAGs & their boyfriends/hubbies’.
lol….I know right, very funny.
She is like 19…this jus seems all so wrong(my opinion!)
All the best though to her and her hubby-to-be
pple stop hating. appreciate the fact that unlike most other footballer brothers, he is going back 2 his roots. wishing them all the best.
lol. I was thnkin the same thing
I like her yellow hand
Like seriously tho, I tire o! Some people sha never have anything positive to say, abi na beef?
So wat if she is 19 she is legal period….
Congrats to the both! Cute couple…I pray their love holds strong.
As someone that got married at 19 to her sweetheart and first love
(almost 2 decades of marriage with lots of beautiful memories, wonderful kids and a love waxing stronger), I can attest to the fact that age is no prerequisite for a long lasting loving relationship…19, 25, 30, 35…e no matter. Nothing like the ‘right’ age just the ‘right’ person…ask all the divorced and seperated women left, right and centre.
One thing I know though, most people in a loving relationship are just happy to see a couple in love. You can almost tell if someone is still searching for true love or has been badly hurt by the way they react to other people/couples’ joy….Keep searching and be loving. Bitterness will only attract its kind.
Adaeze and Joe…enjoy your love, life is short!
ok…i thot the exact same thing…hold on..so do they take pics of themselves and send it to blogs and stuff to post…cos m confused…
Cute couple though..i dont know what the whole fuss about them is all about…..are they supposed to be like the ANGELINA JOLIE AND BRADPITT of naija or what
BTW…the ring is FAB!!!…CONGRATS
i am so happy for you guys, but these subtle yet profound publicity is very foolish if you ask me, this is like self publicity at its highest, i tot the balloon boy case was bad, this is terrible. why would u want the whole world to know what is happening btwn both of you, that is the begining of marriage crashing, you better go and read about how Jada and Will keep their marriage from public eye before it is too late.
my two cent.
Here we go again,typical fame hunters,soon the whole wag madness will start in Nigeria when we are already tired of it in Uk, yawn, next story pls
See y’all yarning like a nineteen year old chica in Naija no sabi anything. Abeg clear for road!
my point exactly, congrats to the couple jaare,
p.s. i love that ring!!!!
but why did she have to take the picture of the engagement ring herself to be shown to the world??i thot these things are s’posed to be caught by paps by mistake?? lol..anyways if she is 19 then i am not overly surprised..typical of a 19yrs old.lets give her a break though.and pray it works out for them. ( hoping she is going into it for the right reasons!) love is a beautiful thing and everybody deserves it…
I’m in love with that ring wow! It’s different. I hope I don’t run into her because I go snatch am run LOL! Congrats to them. I wish them the best in life and most importantly LOVE. They look cute together.
girlfriend berra be rocking that chopard diamond of hearts….niceeeee!!
she and him i think would have made a good reality show about their life and journey till wedding..like jessica and nick…peter and jordan..etc she’s a former miss nigeria so technically she’s a celebrity..and him and ace footballer …..hmm what do you guys think…?
lolllll, I’m feelin ur comment lolly.
don’t mind them. all these naija chics. as if they won’t jump on him if they see him outside. psheeeewww! All the best jare u guys. just put God first and forget all these bad belle ppl. pshew!
you need to call them and discuss…I see Naira (or dollar or pound) signs in your future…lol!
The couples you just listed have since have crashed marriages…
well done to them both and age is just a number abi? abeg, make we wish them happiness and long successful marriage. Am very happy he went back home to find a wife and not take a white girl again. All the best and yes love the ring too and they couple are rocking, keep it up.
well we’ll definitely be rooting for the marriage to succeed and pray they grow old together but as per entertainment they could become the country’s sweetheart especially like nick and jessica…am sure pple would love to see them whilst hoping at the same time that they go all the way…
See ugly men, it’s necessary to have money o, that way you can land fine chicks like this Joseph Yobo. Plenty of ashewos/nollywood actresses must be in mourning now sha. I doubt Adaeze and her equally money conscious mother will allow him to keep being a generous benefactor to those types.
Nigeria played Kenya not Tunisia.
i am prayin for d duo. abeg jojo, if u give am belle, make sure say u marry am till d end not like ur yeye cousin kelvin wey i hear say give woman bele run

isnt she like 12?…And him like 40something?All the same wish them the best wedding ever!
@wannalearntospeakyorubabyforce.. lol. that is mad funny y’all.
Na wa o! I dont understand women one bit. God help me. If you hear them (the educated ones) discussing and hating “illiterate” men, and how they eventually fall like packs of card before “Olodo” money bags, you’ll marvel. Why are they like that?
the ring is nice,real nice..i wish them the best,if it does not last i wont be surprised tho.cute couple..
Jossy as u can see,i took very gd k of her as her bg bros.mak sure ds aint a game.one luv bro one luv

Congrats to both Adaeze and Yobo.You two make a great pair.
