The drama surrounding media personality Roby Ekpo and his estranged wife Mayowa has taken a new turn, and Nigerians are here for every moment of it.
Hours after the on-air personality’s emotional interview detailing the breakdown of their marriage went viral across social media platforms, Mayowa has responded – but not in the way many expected.
A Response Without Words
Instead of issuing a lengthy statement or granting a counter-interview, Mayowa took to social media to share a video of herself dancing joyfully and praising God. The clip, which has since been making rounds online, shows her in high spirits, seemingly unbothered by the public attention surrounding her private life.
For those who missed it, Roby Ekpo recently sat down for an interview where he opened up about his separation from Mayowa. In the emotional session, the OAP narrated the circumstances that led to them parting ways, sparking widespread reactions from Nigerians on social media.
The Power of Silent Responses
Mayowa’s approach to the situation has resonated with many Nigerians who believe that sometimes, the best response is no response at all – or in this case, a praise dance. Her video suggests she’s choosing to focus on her spiritual well-being and personal peace rather than engaging in a back-and-forth public exchange.
“Some battles are better fought on your knees than on social media,” one commenter noted under her post.
What Nigerians Are Saying
As expected, Nigerian social media has been divided in their reactions. While some applaud Mayowa for taking the high road and maintaining her dignity, others believe there’s more to the story than meets the eye.
The situation once again highlights how celebrity relationships and their eventual breakdowns often become public spectacles in Nigeria’s entertainment industry, with fans and followers taking sides and dissecting every detail.
Moving Forward with Grace
Whether you’re Team Roby or Team Mayowa, one thing is clear: Mayowa has chosen to let her joy speak louder than any words could. Her decision to respond with praise rather than pettiness has earned her respect from many quarters.
As this story continues to develop, both parties appear to be navigating their separation in the full glare of public scrutiny – a reality that comes with being in the public eye in Nigeria.
