But Ezinne stood firm and unbothered, even doubling down with a surprising twist:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cNo, you\u2019re joking. That\u2019s why I said this answer will shock you. The person in question, I have never met in my life. I\u2019ve seen him because I attended his wedding. His wife was someone I knew.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The rumour, which has been floating around since the footballer tied the knot with beauty queen Iheoma Nnadi in 2018, claimed that Emenike had previously been married to another Miss Nigeria, whom he allegedly dumped for Iheoma.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For years, many assumed that \u201c<em>mystery ex<\/em>\u201d was Ezinne Akudo \u2014 a claim repeated so often it began to take on a life of its own.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But now, Ezinne has finally decided to set the record straight. She continued:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cIt\u2019s gone on for like years now\u2026 The first time the story came out, I thought it was a joke. But then it kept popping up. Every few years.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">She admitted she initially chose to ignore the story, believing it would fizzle out on its own. But over time, it became more frustrating as the falsehood began to appear in Google searches, blogs, and even casual gossip circles as though it were a verified fact.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201c<em>I never knew that the story would stick the way it did,\u201d<\/em> she said. \u201c<em>If you Google it, it\u2019s there \u2014 like some confirmed truth. But I\u2019ve never been married, never been divorced, and I\u2019ve never met the person in question<\/em>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/2024\/12\/15\/samuel-nwajagu-becomes-first-african-to-win-mister-international-pageant\/\">The former beauty queen,<\/a> now a lawyer and advocate for women\u2019s rights, ended her remarks with a statement that perfectly sums up her feelings:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI fear who no fear media.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For many fans, her calm yet assertive response is refreshing \u2014 and perhaps long overdue. In an age where misinformation spreads like wildfire and false narratives can outlive the truth, Ezinne\u2019s decision to speak up is a reminder of how damaging unchecked rumours can be, especially for women in the public eye.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After years of silence, Ezinne Akudo, former Miss Nigeria 2013, has finally put an end to the persistent rumour that has shadowed her name for almost a decade \u2014 the widely circulated claim that she was once married to Nigerian footballer Emmanuel Emenike.
