Popular Nollywood actress Uche Ogbodo has sparked public debate after asserting that men are largely responsible for the high rate of marital breakdowns. According to the actress, men contribute up to 95 percent of failed marriages, based on behaviors she believes undermine healthy relationships.
The movie star shared her opinion via her official Instagram page, where she pointed to specific patterns of conduct among men as major causes of divorce. She emphasized that many marital problems stem from how men treat their partners within the home.
“Men contribute 95 per cent in failed marriages.”
Expanding on her statement, Ogbodo argued that a lack of commitment and respect from husbands plays a central role in relationship collapse. She identified several recurring issues, including infidelity, emotional abuse, neglect, and betrayal.
“Many marriages fail because a significant number of men neglect, cheat, devalue, emotionally harm, emotionally stress, or betray their wives.”
The actress also noted that the absence of accountability — both in personal relationships and within society — enables these behaviors to continue unchecked. She believes that when harmful actions go unchallenged, they become normalized, further weakening marital stability.
Uche Ogbodo is currently in her second marriage. She tied the knot with her partner, Bobby Maris, in October 2023. Her first marriage, to Norway-based football agent Ato Ubby, took place in 2013 but ended less than a year later.
Her comments have since generated mixed reactions online, with some agreeing and others calling for a more balanced view of marital responsibility. Nonetheless, Ogbodo’s remarks offer a direct critique of modern marital dynamics and place strong emphasis on male accountability in sustaining healthy unions. No other individuals mentioned in her statements have publicly responded to her claims.
