The romantic affairs between Nollywood actresses and Nigerian footballers seem not to be ending well and the reason for this is what Nollywoodgists.com cannot still explain.

Few years ago, it was rumoured that Uche Jombo, a top and talented actress in Nigeria, was in a sizzling relationship with a Super Eagles striker, Ike Uche, but when some thought it would lead to the altar, it hit the rocks.

In 2013, it was speculated that another actress, Nkem Ike, was secretly seeing another Eagles striker, Nnamdi Oduamadi, and reports reaching us now say the two lovebirds have got their separate ways.

According to what we were informed by some grapevines, the AC Milan player, now on loan to a Serie B club called Latina Calcio, dumped Nkem, who recently buried her father.

It was gathered that Oduamadi's family members and friends complained of the age gap between him and his actress girlfriend and they also alleged that Nkem has brought bad luck to the footballer since they started dating.

“Oduamadi's friends and his parents especially kicked against their relationship complaining that she is far older than him. It was believed that his football career nosedived as soon as he met Nkem hence they vowed that the player will never marry her,” a grapevine said.

“Nkem is in her early 40s while Oduamadi is just 24. He will be 25 on October 17; so you can see that the age difference is too much. To add insult to injury was when his friends started mocking him with the fact that his girlfriend was a divorcee with a secret baby,” added the source.

“And when his parents heard she was a divorcee with a kid and yet she was guarding Oduamadi jealously from meeting other younger girls, they swore again that their son will never marry a divorcee with a child.

“She was so desperate for Oduamadi to marry her that she was fond of leaving her Lekki home every morning to Festac Rockview Hotel, where Nnamdi used to lodge whenever he is in town for holidays in order to monitor his activities with Festac girls,” the grapevine also said.

It was further gathered that, “Oduamadi is happy in his new relationship and everybody is proud of them.”
