According to reports, the children belongs to a popular pastor his embattled wife was having an affair with.

Nigerian international footballer Kayode Olanrewaju, known for his time as a forward at Manchester City, is facing a devastating personal crisis that could see him lose almost everything he has worked for throughout his career. Shocking revelations have surfaced suggesting that Kayode may not be the biological father of the three children he believed were his during his marriage to Dora Ezinne Kayode.

The former Manchester City star claims that his wife, Dora Ezinne Kayode, defrauded him, lied about her age, and committed adultery. According to Kayode, Dora is seven years older than she initially claimed, a deception that has deeply shaken him. The most shocking aspect of the betrayal involves alleged infidelity with Pastor Tobi Adegboyega, a prominent figure known for his charismatic leadership.

Kayode’s career, which saw him rise to international prominence, is now overshadowed by this personal turmoil. The footballer, who has represented Nigeria on various international stages and played for clubs across Europe, is reportedly in a state of shock and emotional distress as he grapples with these revelations.

Friends and close associates of Kayode have expressed their support, but the footballer himself is said to be devastated. “It’s a complete betrayal,” one close friend commented. “Kayode gave his all to his family, and to find out that everything he believed in was built on lies is heart-wrenching.”

The news of Dora’s alleged affair with Pastor Tobi Adegboyega has sent shockwaves through both the football and religious communities. Pastor Adegboyega, known for his influential sermons and leadership, has yet to respond to the allegations.

Legal experts suggest that the fallout from these revelations could have significant financial and custodial implications for Kayode. If it is proven that he is not the biological father of the children, he could face a complicated legal battle over custody and support, potentially losing a substantial portion of his wealth and assets accumulated over his football career.

Kayode has reportedly sought legal advice and is considering his options. “He is determined to get to the bottom of this,” a source close to the situation revealed. “He wants to know the truth and ensure that justice is served.”

As this heartbreaking story unfolds, it underscores the profound personal challenges that even successful athletes can face. The betrayal Kayode feels is compounded by the public nature of his life, making this an intensely personal yet highly public ordeal.

FIFA announced the final line-up for the inter-confederation play-off event on Wednesday, with DR Congo representing Africa, crushing Nigeria’s chances of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

In an accreditation notice circulated to journalists ahead of the competition, FIFA detailed the tournament format and listed the six participating nations. DR Congo’s inclusion leaves no room for Nigeria, whose football federation had challenged their defeat in the CAF play-offs in November 2025.

The Nigeria Football Federation submitted an official protest, claiming that the DR Congo national football team used ineligible players in the crucial match, which finished 1-1 before Nigeria were defeated in the penalty shootout. The appeal had aimed to have the outcome overturned and secure Nigeria a spot in the inter-continental play-offs.

However, FIFA’s latest communication does not refer to any changes to the qualified teams, signaling that the original result will stand and confirming Nigeria’s elimination.

Confming the development in a statement, FIFA said, “The FIFA World Cup 2026 Play-Off Tournament will see six teams fight it out for the final two places at the FIFA World Cup 2026™, to be staged in Canada, Mexico and the United States across 16 Host Cities.”

“All of the six teams have now been decided, with Bolivia, Congo DR, Iraq, Jamaica, New Caledonia, and Suriname confirmed as qualifiers.”

The play-off tournament gets underway on March 26.
