Theirs is a story that will make Nollywood green with envy; a tale of struggle and success, love and devotion, and commitment to watch their back in time of trouble.
Ezinne Dora Kayode is the wife of charismatic Nigeria international and Gaziantep of Turkish Super League striker Olarenwaju Ayobami Kayode and the first Nigerian WAGS to manage the career of her footballer husband.
Calm and gently spoken, Ezinne picks her words slowly with an ambience of a confident woman at peace with herself and her home. She reflects on the beginning of their love affair and the turning point from lover to wife and manager; a mutually benefitting union for both of them. “We are compatible because what he loves, I love too. I love football and everything was just perfect for us because he is a football player. I just love the game and I have my favourite teams in Europe. In the English Premier League, my team is Manchester United, in La liga, Real Madrid, In Serie A, Juventus because C-Ronaldo is there and In France, PSG. In Bundesliga I love Bayern Munich; and by the way, I like Dortmund too. I’ve come to love it more because my husband is a fantastic player.
“Then, I took it further by going for training to become an FA licensed agent. I want to understand his own point of view as his manager. I’m his wife and it’s going to be a lot easier to get his feeling out. He’s more open to me and I understood everything about him; on the pitch, with the club and every other thing that would make feel at ease and for par ties, player and club to be happy at the end.
“I have a team-people that works with me, people that works for us. We have Mr. Segun and Mr. Drew. We work together and we are able to find good result at the end of the day. We decided to let it happen in Turkey since he’s not getting regular football in Shaktar. We wanted the world to know that when he’s on the pitch, that they know and understand the name Kayode.
“When it comes to Super Eagles, I don’t really want to talk much about it. One has to be in a state where people can see you and appreciate your work. You cannot compel people to do what they don’t want to do. Maybe there is a way we are seeing it and there is a way they are viewing the same thing. I just want my husband to enjoy his football. This is all that matters. Keep enjoying what you do, keep enjoying yourself, keep proving yourself.
