Yakubu Aiyegbeni Turns 37 Today

Yakubu Ayegbeni (born 22 November 1982), known as Yakubu, is a Nigerian former professional footballer who played as a striker. His nickname is "The Yak".

His performances in the 2002–03 UEFA Champions League for Maccabi Haifa earned a loan move to English club Portsmouth which became permanent as they were promoted to the Premier League in 2003. He has since appeared in over 250 Premier League matches for Portsmouth, Middlesbrough, Everton, and Blackburn Rovers, and is the second highest African goalscorer in Premier League history with 96 goals. He is the third highest scorer in the history of the Nigeria national football team, and represented them at four African Cup of Nations finals, the 2010 FIFA World Cup and the 2000 Summer Olympics.

Personal life

In 2008, Yakubu married Yvonne Lameen Ikhana, the daughter of former Nigerian international footballer Kadiri Ikhana, who is also the father-in-law to former Nigerian international footballer Patrick Ovie. Yakubu and Ikhana have 2 daughters named Kayla and Katriel. He used to play barefoot on the streets of Benin, Nigeria, until his brother gave him a pair of boots aged 12.

If Yakubu is 37, then Buhari is 51, Lai Mohammed is 46, Sylvanus Nsofor is errm... 55 and I am still I'm my mother's womb


People go just trowey face dey lie anyhow

Happy birthday to you sir

Wow! 37? He looks so young I thought he will be in his late teens or early twenties.

Happy birthday to you but it doesn't tell well of you to hear your father-inlaw, Kadiri Ikhana on radio in Benin city begging individuals to help him take care of his health. We all know you can afford whatever healthcare he needs. Put your differences aside, forgive him if he did something wrong. Wishing you all the best.

Life has given him the opportunity to make things right and makeup for that goal he missed but he has chosen to miss the mark again with this lie.

Yakubu is in his very late 40s.
I remember laughing with his Etsako kinsman, the late Shuaibu Amodu on this very subject.
