I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO MY MOM- ODARTEY LAMPTEY

Former Ghanaian International footballer, Nii Odartey Lamptey says he regrets not listening to his mother when she advised against his marriage to ex-wife Gloria Lamptey.

“I feel advice nowadays is very difficult, sometimes you will advise someone about marriage and he will find it difficult to accept, but sometimes when he faces a setback that’s when there is regret,” he said.

Lamptey also added that he has learnt valuable lessons from circumstances surrounding the divorce, advising everyone facing a similar situation not to commit suicide. “The ordeal has taught me bravery and I want to encourage anyone facing a similar difficulty not to commit suicide.”

DNA tests proved that the former Anderlecht, PSV Eindhoven and Aston Villa star was not the biological father of their three children, following which Gloria resorted to court action seeking an equal share of Lamptey’s properties, including the Glow Lamp Football Academy, acquired while they were married.

Justice Cecilia Don-Chebe Agbevey denied Gloria’s request and even gave her a 30-day ultimatum to vacate the seven-bedroom house at East Legon in which she lives. She was compensated with a four-bedroom house at Dome, as well as a car.

Odartey Lamptey has now given birth to 2 children with his girlfriend, Ruweida Yakubu a former beauty pageant finalist and an actress.
