Asa Asika Tells Men to Marry Women Who Don’t Compete With Their Love for Football After Wife’s Thoughtful Gesture

Davido’s long-time manager, Asa Asika, has set social media buzzing after sharing a piece of relationship advice for men that was inspired by a simple yet heartwarming act from his wife. Known for being deeply passionate about football, Asa revealed how his wife went out of her way to ensure he didn’t miss an important match, and from that moment came a lesson he believes every man should take seriously—find a woman who understands and supports your passions instead of dragging with them.

The revelation came through his social media post where Asa explained that on the night of a football game, everything seemed to be working against him. His DSTV service was showing a faulty connection, his Paramount Plus streaming app was malfunctioning because of VPN issues, and Hulu, another option, was only broadcasting the match in Spanish. Frustrated but unwilling to miss out on the game, Asa found himself in a dilemma that many football fans can relate to. But instead of complaining or ignoring his frustration, his wife stepped in like a true partner and took it upon herself to find him a working link to watch the game.

It was this thoughtful gesture that melted Asa’s heart and made him appreciate the importance of having a supportive partner. Without overcomplicating things, she showed him love in action by respecting his passion for football and making sure he could still enjoy it despite the technical setbacks. Asa took to his page and wrote, “My DSTV is saying we’ve got a faulty connection, my Paramount Plus is acting up based on VPN, Hulu only showing the game in Spanish I think, but my wife found me a link to watch the game. Young kings, find you a woman who isn’t dragging with your love for footy.”

His advice resonated instantly with young men across Nigeria and beyond. Football is not just a game—it is a lifestyle, an identity, and in many homes, a form of weekly ritual that bonds friends, families, and entire communities. For diehard fans, missing a crucial game, whether in the English Premier League, Champions League, La Liga, or international tournaments, feels like missing a once-in-a-lifetime moment. And in relationships, there have always been clashes when one partner doesn’t share or at least respect the other’s passion for the sport. Asa’s post, however, spotlighted the harmony that comes when a partner chooses to support rather than compete.

Reactions flooded social media, with many men praising Asa’s wife for her gesture. Football lovers shared stories of how their wives or girlfriends either helped them catch a game or, in some cases, clashed with them over it. One user commented, “This is the kind of woman I pray for, someone that won’t complain about my love for Arsenal but will sit with me and even argue with refereeing decisions.” Another wrote, “Some ladies don’t know how important football is to us. Asa’s wife is a gem for doing this.”

Women also joined the conversation, with some pointing out that supporting a partner’s passion is part of what makes relationships thrive. “It’s not about football alone, it’s about care and consideration. Today it’s football, tomorrow it could be something else. Love is in the little gestures,” a female commenter wrote. Another added, “Men also need to remember to reciprocate. Support your wife’s interests too. That balance is what makes it beautiful.”

Asa’s words, though seemingly casual, carried weight because they spoke directly to modern relationship dynamics. Many times, couples argue over hobbies, passions, or lifestyle choices that one person may not fully understand. For football, this is especially common in African homes where the sport is deeply ingrained in culture and weekend life revolves around match fixtures. A supportive partner doesn’t necessarily need to become a diehard fan but simply has to respect the joy the other finds in it.

This isn’t the first time Asa Asika has made headlines with remarks about love and relationships. While his career as Davido’s manager has placed him firmly in the entertainment spotlight, his openness about personal experiences often sparks conversations. This latest advice, however, has touched a universal chord because it reflects a scenario almost every football fan has faced at one point—technical issues, last-minute panic, and the relief of finding a solution.

Beyond football, Asa’s post sends a larger message about what real support in relationships looks like. It isn’t always about grand displays or expensive gifts; sometimes it is as simple as paying attention to what matters most to your partner and making the effort to ease their worries. His wife didn’t need to understand the full tactical details of the game, or the significance of the fixture, but by finding him a working link, she proved her commitment to his happiness.

Interestingly, Asa’s statement “find you a woman who isn’t dragging with your love for footy” has now become a trending quote among Nigerian men on social media. Memes, jokes, and even short skits have emerged, showing exaggerated scenarios where girlfriends either switch off the TV during a match or pretend to compete with football for their man’s attention. While these skits are humorous, they reflect a real issue couples face—balancing personal passions with shared relationship time.

Relationship experts also weighed in, noting that mutual respect for hobbies and personal space is critical for long-term happiness. Dr. Kemi Adeyemi, a Lagos-based marriage counselor, explained, “When one partner constantly feels like they have to fight for their passion or hide it because the other disapproves, resentment builds. What Asa described is not just about football; it is about empathy and partnership. A partner who supports your joy, no matter how small or trivial it may seem, is one worth keeping.”

For Asa, his wife’s gesture was a reminder that love is often shown in quiet, practical ways. And for the thousands of men who read his post, it was both a challenge and a piece of advice: don’t settle for someone who doesn’t understand or respect your joy. Whether it is football, music, or any other passion, find a partner who is willing to stand with you in it rather than fight against it.

As football continues to be a unifying force across Nigeria and the world, Asa’s story will linger in the minds of many. After all, football has been known to cause breakups, heated arguments, and even outright hostility in homes where partners couldn’t find a middle ground. His advice is a gentle reminder that love doesn’t have to drag or compete; it can choose to assist, encourage, and uplift.

In a world where relationships are constantly under pressure from personal differences, Asa’s message stands out as both practical and relatable. The little things truly matter. In his case, a broken DSTV connection, a malfunctioning VPN, and a Spanish-only stream could have ruined his night, but his wife’s quick thinking turned it around. And from that moment came a truth many men will now hold onto—young kings, find you a woman who isn’t dragging with your love for football.
