Nigeria Queen of the tracks, Blessing Okagbare opened up on her loving husband, Igho Otegheri recently… “I had known him for many years before I left Nigeria and we have been married for two years. He is the definition of a true gentleman and I would never ask for a better person. If you get to meet him, you will realise that he is a man of very few words. I had to let go of certain traits when I met him. He is a God-fearing person and this is an uncommon trait in a lot of men today.”

“He contributes to the advancement of my career in several ways. Now I have a shoulder to cry on. That’s a good thing about having a partner; it’s not just about love. You need someone who will stand for you and support you all the way. I would have married someone outside sports if he met the requirements that God had set for my future husband. I had a lot of suitors but my husband was different.”
