Oma Akatugba has shared a fascinating story about Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye that has left many Nigerians both shocked and amused. The popular sports journalist revealed that Okoye once rejected the romantic advances of a Nigerian billionaire's daughter while he was still playing for Sparta Rotterdam in the Dutch league. Akatugba recounted that he was visiting Okoye at his home in Holland when the goalkeeper showed him his phone, and there was a message from the billionaire heiress. "I screamed, 'Bro, this one na big fish o!'" Akatugba recalled, but Okoye's response was unexpected. The journalist said he tried to convince Okoye to give the billionaire's daughter a chance by pointing out her affluent background, but the goalkeeper remained unimpressed. According to Akatugba, Okoye laughed and replied, "Yeah, but she's not really in my league beauty-wise". The comment has since sparked widespread discussion online, with many people debating whether Okoye's response was arrogant, honest, or simply a reflection of his high standards. Akatugba said he was so taken aback by the response that he "just held my head like, wow". The identity of the billionaire's daughter was not disclosed, but the story has added to Okoye's reputation as a man who knows what he wants and is not easily swayed by wealth or status. Since his debut for the Super Eagles in 2019, Okoye has been a subject of admiration from many Nigerian women who praise his looks and physique. The attention became so overwhelming that he eventually had to publicly announce that he was in a relationship. Okoye is currently in a long-term relationship with Dutch model Jelicia Westhoff, and the couple have a son together named Isaiah Emil Okoye. The story has resonated with many Nigerians who see Okoye's refusal as a refreshing example of a man who values personal connection over material wealth. Some have praised him for his honesty and self-awareness, while others have joked that the billionaire's daughter must have been devastated by the rejection. Regardless of where people stand, the story has added another layer to the mystique of the Super Eagles goalkeeper, proving that even the advances of a billionaire cannot shake a man who knows exactly what he
wants.
