"I'm Tired of the Princess Wey Dey Marry Me" — Uche Ogbodo Confirms Separation From Husband Bobby Maris After 8 Years

Nollywood actress Uche Ogbodo has officially confirmed the crash of her marriage to her younger husband, Bobby Maris, following days of intense social media speculation, unfollows, and traded insults. Breaking her silence via her Instagram stories, the movie star angrily pushed back against the societal stigma surrounding women who choose to leave unhappy unions.

The domestic dispute quickly escalated when Ogbodo's younger sister, Sochima, publicly dragged Maris online, labeling him a lazy partner who allegedly contributes nothing financially to the household while provoking the actress daily. Responding to the mounting drama, Ogbodo declared that after dedicating eight years of her life to the relationship, she is completely done playing the breadwinner.

"For person to tire for marriage now nah taboo because nah woman! Must it always be man must taya? My tayad is tayad! I'm tired of the princess wey dey marry me. What is wrong with that? To be happy as a woman in marriage is by connection in this country! I no do again nah sin? Make nobody push me to the wall because I be rubber. 8 years of my life is not enough yet? Maybe I should give it 20 years or maybe 6 feet under before the crown of thorns can fit me well."

The couple, who tied the knot traditionally in January 2023 in Imo State, had been together for over eight years in total. However, behind the public displays of affection, the union had reportedly been under massive strain.

Warning gossip platforms to verify facts before spreading false narratives, Ogbodo boldly asserted that she has all the receipts regarding the breakdown of the relationship and will not be intimidated into silence.
