Being A Ghanaian Footballer’s Wife is Deeply Pathetic | Five Footballers’ Wives & One Ex Speak Of their Ordeals

2. Husbands Beating Wives As If Bukom Banku is Their Role Model
Not long ago, Ghanaian boxer-Bukom Banku emphatically stated during an interview that, he beats his wives—proudly saying he was a boxer before becoming a husband and his three wives or so understand that, so if they provoke him, he beats the hell of out them.
Once again, why this sort of buffoon has three wives is a million dollar question with no answers within the quarters of reason.
The situation is the same in the houses of the five footballers’ wives I spoke to—with the divorcee saying, she was only slapped twice by her husband, so it was not that rampant for her.
At least, we know of the mounting allegations of John Paintsil having being beating his wife and there are rumours that Sulley Muntari, Stephen Appiah and Samuel Inkoom do not spare the rod in their bedrooms.
One of the footballers’ wife sadly said; “Chris, I am being beaten so much that even there was a time my mother was in the same house while my husband was kicking me in the bedroom.”
Pretty sad…right?
But what follows is even worse; the family of this woman is aware of the regular beatings but they say, divorce is not an option because the family is against any form of divorce and perhaps because of the occasional money they receive from their cash cow, that’s not going to be supported.
