LESSONS FROM EMMANUEL EBOUES’S DIVORCE! Every time I read something about Emmanuel Eboue, it makes me sad. Eboué had three children with his Belgian wife, Aurélie, whom he married before joining Arsenal. In December 2017, Eboué told the Sunday Mirror that he was poor and homeless due to his divorce and bad investments that were under his former wife's control. In June 2019, Eboué spoke about his ongoing struggles with mental health. I will urge every young man to marry well, to think of the future, and to consider their nationality when getting married. Today may be okay when love is blind, but think about what might happen in the future. Don’t make getting the right to stay the major criterion for your marriage. It often ends in tears. I also think it is ‘foolishness’ for a man to entrust all his investments and wealth to his wife’s care and lose track of his money unless the wife is dependable. Love your wife, but do not abandon control. Know what you have. Be strategic! You will get to an age where you no longer have strength, and some ‘wicked’ women can turn your children against you. That kills a man faster than not having money. For you to lose your marriage, lose your children, and not have money is an expressway to a short life. I will rather marry someone who, if things go wrong in the Western world, we can go to our home country and show each other shege. That was a major part of my life before I got married. I will also ask young men not to leave all their assets abroad. You may not like your country now, but it can provide the much-needed succor for you if your wife decides to take all that you have labored for abroad. As a pastor and a legal practitioner, I know several former homeowners who are now renting a single room in the UK after being kicked out following their divorce. They lost everything, including their children, and they have no shock absorbers. Ma lo suegbe (Do not be foolish) I know some of you reading this will say some of our people do this, but their own fight is easier than fighting a white woman in her country. I hope you understand what I did not say here. Finally, do not spend all your money on the family and end up with nothing left. Because of the crazy way some Gen X and Gen Z have little or no regard for marriage and are money-conscious, if your spouse is working, they must contribute to paying the family bills. Don't walk past this post without meditating seriously on it, especially if you are yet to get married. My name is Dele Olawanle. I am a coach. I think, write, and speak to improve lives.
