In the video, the Black Stars midfielder said: “I have a girl I love, I know my side chics will leave me but it’s no problem… I grew up with Muslims so at the end of the day it is the same thing”.
He also said that he is married to her after he was asked when he intends to tie the knot with her saying “I am already married and my Muslim name is Yakubu”.
