Nigeria’s Super Eagles captain, Joseph Yobo is unarguably a renowned defender who has been able to manage the national football team since he became the skipper of the team.
However, the ex-Everton player might not be a good manager of property, according to his landlord, Ray Smith.
The Landlord was horrified recently when he saw the state in which a penthouse flat leased in the name of Yobo had been left.
There were burn marks on the carpet, a dirty kitchen and bathroom, and holes in the wall left from a flat-screen television.
In defending himself, Yobo, who now plays for Norwich in the English Premier League, EPL, says he has never lived in the apartment in South Ferry Quay, close to Liverpool Marina, nor even been there.
According to him, his younger brother, Gideon, paid the rent.

A report says the keys to the flat were handed back to the letting agent over the weekend and Landlord Smith says he was shocked by what he found when he went to inspect it.
He said, “The state it’s been left in is just unbelievable.
“There’s bond money of £1,500, but by the look of it, it will need £5,000 to put all the damage right and I will have to call in industrial cleaners.”
There are iron marks on the floor, as if left by ironing, and holes in the wall left by flat-screen TVs.
“I’ve never come across anything like this before and I’m just so shocked. The place looks as if it’s been burgled.”
Yobo was reported to have contacted the news house that broke the story himself to defend his conduct, saying he had been helping out Gideon.
He said, “It’s my name on the lease, but I never lived at the flat and I’ve never even been there.
“The landlord doesn’t know me and he hasn’t spoken to Gideon about this. I have property too and the landlord should have gone to the letting agents if he was unhappy.
