Interior designer Ehi Ogbebor has addressed the relationship she had with MC Oluomo, the NURTW chairman, while making it clear that she does not agree with the idea that she took him away from his wife.

The subject came up during a conversation with media personality Chude Jideonwo on his podcast, where Ehi spoke about MC Oluomo and the nature of their relationship.

Ehi described MC Oluomo as one of her best friends and said she calls him “Ayinde.” She also made an important distinction about the relationship, explaining that he was a married man when they dated.

“MC Oluomo is one of my best friends. Ayinde as I call him, that's the only man I dated as a married man, because he's Muslim. Even bus conductors have 4 wives as a Muslim. let mc oluomo’s wife come & tell me how i snatched her husband". - Ehi  she said.

Her explanation centred largely on MC Oluomo being Muslim. Ehi referred to the Islamic allowance for a man to have multiple wives, using the example of Muslim bus conductors who, according to her, can have four wives.

That was also where she drew a line between dating a married man and the accusation that she had “snatched” someone’s husband.

Ehi’s challenge to MC Oluomo’s wife was direct. Rather than accept the description of herself as a woman who took another woman’s husband, she asked his wife to explain exactly how she believed the situation happened.

The relationship between Ehi and MC Oluomo has attracted attention in the past, but in her account, she sees the circumstances differently from the way they may be portrayed by others. She maintained that MC Oluomo was not simply a married man whose marriage she had deliberately tried to break.

For Ehi, the fact that MC Oluomo is Muslim was relevant to the situation. She pointed to polygamy within Islam as part of her reasoning and suggested that the existence of multiple wives is not unusual among Muslim men.

Her comments also showed that she was not trying to hide the fact that MC Oluomo was married at the time. In fact, that was central to the explanation she gave during the conversation.

Rather than presenting the relationship as a secret affair in which she took a husband away from his wife, Ehi placed it within the context of MC Oluomo’s religion and the practice of polygamy.

She also continued to refer to him warmly, calling him one of her best friends and using the name “Ayinde” when speaking about him.

At the centre of the discussion, however, was Ehi’s rejection of the claim that she “snatched” MC Oluomo from his wife. Her words were unmistakably direct: she wants his wife to explain how, exactly, she believes that happened.
