Mutiu Adepoju opens up: My wife is an Angel from heaven

Living and married to a beautician and cosmetologist for more than two decades may have impacted positively in the style and dressing sense of former Super Eagles workaholic midfielder, Mutiu Adepoju, but it is not without order.

Headmaster as Adepoju is fondly called by his fans, due to the excellent use of his head while playing for the Nigeria national teams, informed that his style is not flamboyant. “I like to appear simple,” Mutiu stated and added that he loves to dress up in jeans and T-shirt.  “l love jeans with a passion and same goes for T-Shirt which l wear to make me look trim and sharp. I like to appear smart at all times and jeans and T-Shirt give me that looks. l cannot stand spending a lot of time in front of the mirror, l like something l can put on quickly and yet still look good. In-fact l don’t think l can count the number of jeans or T- shirt is not in my closet”.    
Adepoju, who spent quality playing time in Spain (1989-1997) informed that Spain, one of Europe’s biggest names in fashion and the game of football had an impact on his clothing trend. 
Adepoju left Nigeria in 1989 to join Real Madrid, but never made it past its B side. His first professional season was impressive, as he netted 11 league goals to help Racing de Santander return to the top flight, and he continue to feature and score regularly for the Cantabrians in the next three seasons. He left for Real Sociedad, in 1996–97 but, after a solid first campaign, struggled mightily to hold down a regular place with the Basque team. In 2001–02, he represented Saudi Arabia's Ittihad FC, but quickly returned to Spain, playing an unimpressive season with second level side UD Salamanca.
The biggest force on his wardrobe, Mutiu however admits, is from his wife, Bimpe Adepoju.
“My wife operates a fashion home in Spain for more than 20 years.  Beauty has always been her passion so when we moved to Spain in 1989, she studied cosmetology, and since then she has been into everything related to beauty and fashion. She maintained her fashion place in Spain but recently moved back to Nigeria to open another, which is located in Ibadan. She knows l love jeans and T-shirt so he has influenced my dressing a lot. And l thank her for everything. I met my wife in Lagos in 1989 through a friend that introduced us and right from the first day, l knew this would be a special relationship. She has been there for me all the years, taking care of the children while l am away every weekend playing. She also takes care of business, she is an angel sent by God to me,” Adepoju added.     
While in Spain, how was it?
The experience there was fantastic, the first challenges we faced when we got there was the language barrier, we were like deaf and dump, but after sometimes we adapted and picked the language and Spanish culture. We spent more than 20 years there, But I can tell you that, while in Spain, it was a fantastic experience. We have all our children there. The first born is now 19, and others are 16, 12 and 9 years.               
How are the children doing?
The older ones are still there in Spain schooling, while we have the younger one here with us. They are all going well.
Is anyone among them into sports?
Hmm, yes some who are into sport in their colleges are into basketball, they play basketball actively for their school.
