Media Personality Roby Ekpo Reveals Ex-Wife's Secret Marriage and Marital Woes
Nigerian media personality Roby Ekpo has publicly shared distressing details about his failed marriage to colleague Mayowa Lambe, including her recent secret remarriage in the United States. The revelation came after news emerged last week that Lambe had married again, shocking many, including Ekpo himself.
Financial Support and Broken Trust
In an emotional interview with Daddy Freeze, Ekpo claimed that while he believed they were still married, he regularly sent money to Lambe in the US. He stated that whenever he earned N500,000 from jobs in Nigeria, he would send N200,000 to his then-wife, demonstrating his commitment to their relationship.
"I was fully in this marriage, but she was not as committed as I was," Ekpo tearfully explained during the interview. "I sent her money regularly, thinking we were building a life together."
Childlessness and Contraception Allegations
The 48-year-old media personality revealed that he remains childless after being married to Lambe for eleven years. He made serious allegations that while he hoped to have children with her, Lambe was secretly taking contraceptives to avoid pregnancy.
"I am a Calabar man," Ekpo cried. "If I had known, I would have had a child outside the marriage. This pain would not be so deep."
Explosive WhatsApp Chats Revealed
Ekpo shared what he claims are WhatsApp messages from Lambe to a friend, revealing her deep dissatisfaction with their marriage. The chats paint a picture of a relationship filled with resentment and frustration.
In the messages, Lambe allegedly wrote: "I have been coping with unsatisfactory sex for almost three years. I don't want again." She continued with even more damning statements about their intimate life and overall relationship.
The purported messages include multiple complaints:
- Sexual dissatisfaction: "He isn't satisfying me sexually"
- Financial neglect: "He isn't taking care of me like a man should"
- Emotional distress: "Almost driving me to depression"
- Personal irritation: "If he tries to touch me I can scream out of irritation"
Lambe allegedly concluded one message with: "Mistake of a man I married," indicating deep regret about their union.
Public Reaction and Emotional Fallout
Ekpo became emotional while reading these messages during the interview, highlighting the pain these revelations have caused him. He added that during Lambe's visits to Nigeria, she could not even bring herself to hug or kiss him, demonstrating the complete breakdown of their relationship.
The media personality also accused Lambe of speaking badly about him to others, though he did not provide specific details about these alleged conversations beyond the shared WhatsApp chats.
This public airing of marital grievances has sparked widespread discussion in Nigerian entertainment circles, with many expressing sympathy for Ekpo while others question the appropriateness of sharing such private matters publicly.
The interview with Daddy Freeze provides a raw look at the collapse of what was once considered a solid celebrity marriage, revealing issues of trust, commitment, and compatibility that ultimately led to its dissolution and Lambe's subsequent remarriage without Ekpo's knowledge.
