Nollywood actress Uche Ogbodo has dismissed a claim that she personally financed her wedding to her younger husband, urging a fan to respect her former spouse and acknowledge his contribution to their marriage.
The actress addressed the claim on social media after a fan reacted to comments she made during an interview with media personality Deacon Famous.
During the interview, Ogbodo spoke about her marriage, her husband and the age difference between them. She explained that although she is older than her husband by only a few years, some people have made assumptions about their relationship based on their appearance.
According to the actress, she has been surprised by comments from people who sometimes assume that she is her husband’s mother because of their age difference.
Ogbodo Speaks About Women As Providers
During the interview, Ogbodo also shared her views on changing dynamics in modern relationships.
The actress argued that women have increasingly taken on the role of providers in relationships, suggesting that many women now contribute significantly to the financial responsibilities of their families.
She also criticised some men whom she said appear more focused on meeting their own needs than providing for their partners and children.
Her comments generated reactions from social media users, with some people interpreting her position as being influenced by her personal experience.
One fan subsequently took to the actress’ comment section to challenge her views.
Fan Claims She Funded Her Wedding
The fan suggested that Ogbodo’s position about women being providers was connected to her own marriage.
The individual claimed that the actress had sponsored her wedding to her younger husband and argued that this personal experience may have influenced her opinion about women providing in relationships.
The fan wrote: “Of course you won’t blame a woman who sponsored her own marriage with a younger man for saying women are more providers in this generation. She is speaking from her personal experience, but she shouldn’t generalise it biko.”
The comment prompted Ogbodo to respond directly.
‘I Never Sponsored My Marriage’
Ogbodo firmly rejected the claim, insisting that she did not finance her wedding.
The actress also used the opportunity to ask the fan to respect her former husband, saying that he contributed to their marriage.
“Uncle, I never sponsored my marriage! Last thing I would ever do till I kpai! Respect my ex-husband; he did his thing,” she replied.
Her response appeared to put to rest the specific claim that she single-handedly funded the wedding.
Ogbodo did not provide further details about the financial arrangements surrounding her marriage, but her response made it clear that she did not want the public to portray her former husband as someone who failed to contribute.
Actress Responds To Public Perceptions
The exchange also highlights the scrutiny public figures often face over their personal relationships.
Ogbodo has frequently spoken about aspects of her personal life and marriage, but her latest response shows that she is willing to correct what she considers inaccurate narratives about her relationship.
Her comments also suggest that despite the end of the marriage, she believes her former husband deserves recognition for his role and contribution during their time together.
The actress’ response has since drawn attention from social media users, particularly because she directly rejected the suggestion that she paid for the marriage.
Ogbodo’s initial interview comments focused on her views about changing gender roles and financial responsibilities within relationships, while her subsequent response centred specifically on the claim about who financed her wedding.
By telling the fan to “respect my ex-husband”, the actress made it clear that she does not want discussions about her marriage to unfairly diminish his contribution.
