Nollywood actress Uche Ogbodo has publicly denied dumping her husband, Bobby Maris, responding to accusations from a follower on her latest Instagram post. The denial came on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, a month after she announced her separation from the actor.

Another follower pleaded with her to forgive her husband, but Uche Ogbodo did not directly address that plea in her response. The actress has remained active on social media, engaging with her followers while navigating her personal life publicly.

To be happy as a woman in marriage nah by connection in this country!”
She further expressed frustration: “I no do again nah sin? Make nobody push me to the wall because I be rubber ooo! 8 years of my life isn’t enough yet? Maybe I should give it 20 years or maybe 6 feet under before the crown of thorns can fit me.” These remarks highlighted her feelings about the pressures placed on women in marriages.
