My Wife Is The Reason I Am a Better Player – WLFRED NDIDI

Super Eagles and Leicester City midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi has poured encomium on his wife, Dinma Fortunate, who he described as ‘Amazing’ and has made him a better player and person. The couple got married in May 2019 and the union is blessed with a baby girl-Jaina. He said: “One word to describe my wife? I’m looking for a better word for amazing because that is just what how she is. She is just amazing.

“Getting married and having a baby, building up a family has made me see things in different perspective and I try to understand things in a different way. My focus now is mainly on my family, career and trying to do my best. These things have made me a better man and I’m trying to improve on myself. So, I will say yes of course, in spite of my form and hard work, family has given me a level of peace and focus.”

Ndidi further described their daughter as ‘a blessing’ that has brought so much joy into their marriage.

“Jaina is a blessing to us. We are very happy to have her. She came during the lockdown and she has been a blessing to us. My wife and I decided on the name together. We both decided on giving her the name not just one person but a decision we jointly took. The lockdown was an opportunity for me to be with them (my wife and daughter) and I must say I’m enjoying the joy of fatherhood.”
