Nigerian media personality Roby Ekpo broke down in tears during a podcast appearance as he narrated how he allegedly discovered that his wife had remarried in the United States after years of separation and sustained financial support from him.
Ekpo, visibly emotional during the yet-to-be-released episode of Honest Bunch Podcast, said he only realised the extent of the breakdown in their marriage after coming across private messages in which his wife allegedly expressed deep dissatisfaction with their relationship.
He said the message, which he claimed she did not know he had seen, painted a picture of long-standing frustration and emotional disconnect.
“I don’t even care if he loves me or not because what can love do for me besides stress me? He isn’t taking care of me as a man should. He isn’t satisfying me sexually. He isn’t helping my spiritual life. He isn’t spoiling me. He isn’t anything good… I have been coping with unsatisfying sex for almost three years,” he quoted.
Pausing repeatedly as he read, Ekpo said the words hit him hard, especially after years of trying to hold the marriage together from a distance.
“I’m 48 years old. I don’t have a kid… I started going for sperm tests,” he said, adding that he had believed they were both still working towards starting a family.
He also alleged that his wife had undergone a procedure in the US, which he said he was initially told was connected to fertility, but later suspected had been misrepresented to him.
According to him, one of the most painful parts of the experience was the financial commitment he made while she lived abroad.
“For six years she travelled, and I was sending money every time. I have receipts here.
“I would do a gig of ₦500,000 and send ₦200,000. I was even sending flowers, friends in the US helped me deliver them to her, he said.
