The player reputed with the longest playing record for the national team, the
indefatigable captain of the Nigerian National football team, Captain
Joseph Yobo has moved back to EPL the most watched football league in
the universe. JY as those that are close to him loves to call him, would
be plying his trade till the end of this season at Norwich FC.
Albeit on loan from his very rich Turkish club, Fenerbahce where playing
time has been few and far between due to the new rules on foreign
nationals playing in that country. JY's move on loan to the Canaries is a
major plus for the club, as it would help to bolster their defence and
help their fight to ascend to a good position on the league table, where they are currently doing well in the middle of the pack in the 12th position.
At 33, the well traveled gentleman footballer has had a glorious
professional football career from Standard Liege in Belgium, to
Marseille in France, Tenerife in Spain, Everton in England, off to
Fenerbahce in Turkey and now on loan back in England with Norwich FC.
This is most definitely an opportunity for the Rivers born star to still show
he is not tired yet and can still play great football and the highest level. The city of Norwich, which is in Norfolk is about 2 hours plus from London by train.
The financial details of the loan move was not made known.

| JY & ADAEZE |
Joseph Yobo is unarguably one of the most liquid Nigerian footballers in this country by virtue of his investments. From the little we could gather the former Captain of the National Football team-The Super Eagles and one of the most capped Nigerian player ever, Joseph Yobo has investments in real estate & the oil & gas sector. And by virtue of this, the husband of the former Most Beautiful Girl In Nigeria 2008(Adaeze Yobo) & the father of one (Joey Jnr) is probably set for life.

The good times are back again. Yes! After an uncertain period of time not knowing whether, he was going to go back to England or he would be retained in Turkey. The answer was finally sorted as the much loved Captain of the Nigerian National Football team- The Super Eagles, Captain Joseph Yobo, who is also Nigeria's most capped footballer till date, finally put pen to paper and sealed a 3 years deal with the Nos 1 team in the Turkish League- Fenerbahce Fc of Turkey. According to our bird with very large ears, the 3 years deal would cost the Turkish team in excess of $10Million dollars, which in Naira translate to about N1.6 Billion Naira, that's not all: he is also entitled to another $1Million Dollars in Bonuses per year, this translate to another 160 Million Naira every year for the next 3 years. That's another 480 Million to be added to the 1.6 Billion contract.
From the little we could gather, Fenerbahce paid his former club in England, Everton FC, $2.5 Million dollars to facilitate the full transfer, that had been dragging on for 2 seasons now,this made JY who is referred to as the 'Prince of Istanbul' by the many vociferous fans of Fenerbahce FC to spend 2 seasons on loan at the Turkish Club before this deal was finally sealed.
The beauty of the contract signed by JY from what we can gather, is that all the payment is ''TAX FREE'' unlike in the UK where 35% tax is deducted from source from their salaries. So men this is what life should be like.
Congratulations to the great JY.
