Sister Sochima Alleges Bobby Maris Is a Lazy Man
Legit.ng earlier reported that Uche Ogbodo's sister, Sochima, made fresh allegations against the actress’ husband, Bobby Maris. In a series of posts shared on her Instagram story, Sochima described Maris as a “lazy man” who “sleeps from Monday to Sunday” and contributes nothing to the growth of his family. She alleged that he fails to provide financial, emotional, or physical support to his wife and children.
“Koromoto husband!! Very lazy thing!! Sleeps from Monday to Sunday, contributes absolutely nothing to the growth of the family, not even physical, emotional, or general care for his children. I mean, money is not everything, but when you are not getting money or emotional support, Omo. The idiot will even come on social media to be acting like a big boy. Omo, that thing used to annoy me ehn. You will provoke your wife, and once she’s set off, the idiot will bring out a camera and start recording. Her only crime was that she said she wasn’t doing it again. Go and find your next client, lazy thing!” Sochima wrote.
Sochima further claimed that Maris often provokes Uche Ogbodo and records her reactions to paint her in a bad light online. She insisted that her sister’s only “crime” was choosing to separate herself from him. In another post, she mocked him for allegedly leaking private tapes, writing: “Keep leaking tape. Don’t enter house at your old age!! You wan do saga. No wahala na.”
