Nigerian striker Obafemi Martins may not be scoring goals for Nigeria in South Africa, having been overlooked by Coach Stephen Keshi, but Obagoal, as he is fondly called may have scored a vital goal where it matters: building a family.
There were reports this morning that Mario Balotelli’s sister Barwuah Abigail is expecting a child 
According to ‘Diva e Donna’ magazine in Italy, Abigail Barwuah – Balotelli’s biological sister – is pregnant.
The father is said to be Martins, a 28-year-old striker at Inter, Newcastle United, Vfl Wolfsburg, Rubin Kazan, Birmingham City and now Levante.
The magazine quotes her as saying: “The baby is making its presence felt. This is a very special Christmas for me.”
Last month Balotelli’s ex-girlfriend Raffaella Fico gave birth to daughter Pia, though the Manchester
City forward wants a DNA test before he will recognise paternity.
Foreign media had reported that Abigail and the Nigeria international, Martins, are deeply involved in a discrete relationship.
Record.com.mx quotted some Italian media, saying that the pair were captured on camera in suggestive poses, with Martins embracing and kissing Abigail.
The relationship between the Nigerian goal poacher and his Ghanaian-Italian girlfriend started in Milan, Italy when Martins was playing for Inter Milan.
It was gathered that Balotelli is deeply concerned and displeased that the pictures have been published, as he does not approve of the relationship.
