Nkechi Blessing Issues Warning on Financially Dependent Men
Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing has dropped a pointed remark that appears to touch on the ongoing marital troubles between her colleague Uche Ogbodo and her young husband, Bobby Maris. For days, the couple have hinted at a crisis by unfollowing each other on social media and sharing cryptic posts.
Bobby Maris had taken a swipe at Uche Ogbodo, saying the crown of wife is not meant for every woman. In response, Uche shared a post about surviving a narcissist and later announced that she had left her “Princess husband”.
Uche Ogbodo's Sister Adds Fuel to the Fire
Uche Ogbodo's sister also spoke out, describing Bobby Maris as a lazy man who sleeps all week, contributes nothing to the family’s growth, and constantly provokes his wife. She said the only offence Uche committed was separating herself from him, urging Bobby to go and find his next client.
In what seemed like a reaction to the dramatic saga, Nkechi Blessing posted on her Instagram stories on July 7, warning against marrying a man who depends financially on his wife, stressing that marriages where the woman is the one feeding the man are unlikely to last. She explained that no matter how much such situations are covered up, they eventually collapse.
She wrote: “Never think marrying a man you are clearly feeding will last. No matter how much you tend to cover it up, e no go ever end well. If you jam the one wey lazy still get dirty-smelling pride join? Your own don finish”.
