OAP Roby Ekpo has apologised after becoming emotional during an appearance on the Honest Bunch podcast. He broke down while discussing his past marriage to Mayowa Lambe, which ended in separation before she remarried. Ekpo expressed regret over his emotional display, saying he did not intend to draw attention through tears. The interview, which has since circulated online, captured his candid reflections on the collapse of the relationship. No further details were provided about the circumstances of the separation. Ekpo did not disclose when the marriage ended or the identity of Mayowa Lambe's new husband. The podcast episode focused on personal experiences, with Ekpo sharing his side of the story for the first time publicly. He described the process of speaking about the experience as difficult but necessary.
Roby Ekpo apologises for showing emotion while speaking about a marriage that already ended, yet the public expects men to suppress grief on demand. His apology suggests that vulnerability, even in hindsight, still carries a stigma for male public figures. Nigerians who followed the marriage may now question why personal healing requires public justification. A man recounting his past must still perform strength, even when offering no defence, just reflection.
