In a jaw-dropping revelation on her podcast, former Miss Nigeria Ezinne Akudo finally set the record straight about the persistent marriage gossip involving ex‑Super Eagles striker Emmanuel Emenike.
For years, rumors have swirled online that she secretly tied the knot with the football legend only to be swiftly ditched. Some gossip even claimed she was married and divorced before Emenike moved on. But Akudo wasn’t having any of it. With a calm yet firm tone, she declared, “I’ve never been married, never been divorced. I’ve never met this person in question.” That’s right absolutely no wedding bells and certainly no ex‑husband styled in football glory .
The uproar seems to have ignited after Nigerian singer Reekado Banks casually posted that Emenike divorced “Miss Nigeria 2013” to marry another beauty queen. The commentary snowballed online, referencing Akudo’s 2013 crown win. Emenike reportedly threatened legal action and demanded the post be deleted .
Now, six years later, Akudo who now works as a lawyer and NGO founder has finally addressed the hype head-on. She made it clear: there was no secret wedding, no messy breakup, and definitely no connection whatsoever between her and Emenike.
