Nigerian health influencer Aproko Doctor has stirred fresh online conversations after openly admitting that his wife, Chef Amaka Egemba, did not match the physical image he once envisioned for an ideal partner. In a recent interview, he declared that having a rigid 'spec' is completely overrated, emphasizing that his wife's character and values ultimately won his heart.
Aproko Doctor Explains Why 'Spec' Is Overrated
Speaking candidly, Aproko Doctor said: 'I think spec is completely overrated. How do I say this without, quote and unquote, Instablog please I’m begging you, I’m not insulting my wife, but if you had seen this beautiful woman as at the time when we had our first date, she did not look anything like my spec. She did not look like the spec I created in my head.' He admitted he once thought he wanted someone 'already made, tall,' even joking that height mattered to him because of his children.
However, he quickly shifted focus to what truly mattered: 'For me, it was what she was saying, the things, her thoughts, but most importantly for me was her heart towards people. Amaka is the kind of person who is an open book. She’s the definition of “this person cannot hurt a fly.”'
Netizens React to Aproko Doctor's Confession
The revelation sparked a wave of reactions on social media. User charcoalshade commented: 'Let’s stop all this spec conversations. Asin banish and ban it for life. Idc how the delivery is packaged please. It’s so unnecessary.' Another user, flawlesskayc, praised him: 'He was so mindful of his words… such an emotionally intelligent man.'
Ajebodcomedian offered a balanced view: 'Spec is made up in your head based on what you have seen and attracted to but when it’s time to choosing forever, you look beyond all that and go for what truly matters.' However, not everyone agreed. Yumdelivery01 said: 'For me no man should come on national tv and say I’m not their spec after marrying me. Go look for your spec sir.' Renaobo_ added: '“Specs” are problematic. They almost never love and care that much. But you see “non specs”? “Non-specs” are the made from heaven.' Nikky_owokoya simply noted: 'His truth…. But some things are better left on said.'
Chef Amaka's Previous Revelation About PCOS and Fertility Rumours
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Chef Amaka had addressed painful rumours that surrounded her marriage. Shortly after their wedding in June, many concluded that Aproko Doctor was unable to father a child simply because the couple had not conceived. Amaka disclosed that the rumours were false; the real challenge was her diagnosis with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal condition affecting ovulation and fertility.
Speaking during an interview, Amaka recalled: 'I just got married to my husband in June. Three months into the marriage, I didn't see my period. Then I went to the hospital, they told me I had PCOS.' She explained that the condition caused visible physical changes, including weight gain and a broader upper-body frame, leading to harsh remarks. 'What made me cry was when they said my husband is not man enough to father a child,' she said, adding that some people mocked their marriage by referring to her as 'the man of the house.'
