Fenerbahce central defender
Joseph Yobo is furious with reports in the local media that he has a night
club.
And in response to those
allegations, the Nigeria skipper was quoted as
saying by htspor.com: ”In Nigeria, some newspapers wrote that
I am operating a night club. Years ago, my brother had such a club, but it is
now closed. I’m a football player. I’m not a bartender or the publican who runs
a nightclub.”
Last weekend, the Super
Eagles qualified for the 2013 African Cup after a 6 – 1 hammering of West
African brothers Liberia. Prior to that game, it had
been reported by the media that the ex Everton ace, who was injured, would be
physically present in Calabar to cheer his teammates.
Yobo, 32, has cleared the
air on the reason behind his no-show in Calabar on October 13.
He told Turkish media: ”My
club wrote the Nigeria Football Federation and wanted to carry on my treatment
in Istanbul. That’s why I did not go.”
