In a recent interview with The Super Eagles Player of Nigeria and
Lazio midfielder of Italy, Ogenyi Onazi, said that he got married early to
resist temptations and grow with his children, adding that his settling
down early, would boost his career and make him focused.
The player who has one goal in 36 international games for Nigeria, said, "Thank
God for His grace. All thanks to God even if the process is not yet
complete because we just went to the registry for now.
"It is something every man who wants to be responsible needs to
do when the time comes. I made my choice this early because I want to
grow with my kids."
Onazi revealed that the relationship had been going on for some years, and joked that it was not love at first sight. "I
have been with her for four years now. I met her where she met me. It
was not love at first sight; it was love at the last sight.
"She is so special and that should tell you why I got married to her. She is a woman with a good heart, loving and caring."
When he was asked why his wife is nicknamed ‘Louis Vuitton', he said: "I
don’t know why but I think one of her friends called her the name
because she used a lot of Vuitton product. She loves LV products. That’s
her brand. Maybe that is why she is called that."
On the full marriage rights, he said: "The huge one will come but
not too huge. Just something normal. No need to exaggerate. Registry oh!
That was all we did for now. Well, we are planing for the wedding
proper then we know what next. One thing at a time.
"Yes definitely. Boys are becoming men. My date for the big
wedding is not made known yet but soon we will pick a date and everyone
will be aware of it. This is the most important reason why I wanted to
get married on time, because when you remember you have a family, it
will help you to be serious.
"We know no one on earth is above temptation. But to some
extent, we have to try as much as possible to resist as well, with
responsibility we have as a family man. And I always pray to God to help
me because to be sincere, it is not easy. Seriously; not easy."
The midfielder also spoke about his love for music and charity, saying: "I
play music. I learn it right from when I was young, just like like
football. Music is like playing football to me. Charity work I learnt
from my daddy, TB Joshua; that is part of his teachings. I learn a lot
from him and I can never write three words about my life without him."
