Roby Ekpo, the Nigerian media personality, has addressed his troubled relationship with his estranged wife Mayowa Lambe.
In a yet-to-be-released episode of the Honest Bunch podcast, Ekpo accused Mayowa of infidelity and deception.
“After 11 years of marriage, I woke up to videos and pictures of my wife on Instagram getting married to another man,” he said.
The comedian and radio presenter claimed that Lambe deceived him and secretly used contraceptives to prevent pregnancy.
Roby said he once went for medical tests after concerns about infertility, adding that he initially believed he might have been responsible for the pair not having kids.
“I am 48 years old, I don’t have a kid, I started going for tests because I thought I was the problem, I thought I had fertility issues. I later found out that she was taking contraceptives,” he said.

The media personality also claimed that Mayowa told him she was travelling to the United States for a surgery that would enable her to conceive, but instead went for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL).
He alleged that even routine communication became a point of suspicion in their marriage.
“Mayowa travelled to Miami to do BBL. She told me she went for surgery that would enable her to conceive,” he said.
“If I send my wife a message on her Instagram DM, she would question me why I was sending a message there. She would say ‘they (immigration) check’.”
Ekpo said he sent Lambe money for a flight back to Nigeria in 2025, her first return since 2021.
The on-air personality said the relationship left him financially drained, noting he once sent N200,000 from a N500,000 gig to his estranged wife.
He also shared what he said was a conversation in which Lambe told someone else that he was not satisfying her “financially, spiritually, and sexually”.
“10 years of my life. If I had a kid out of wedlock, I would have justified that Mayowa can do whatever she likes, what did I do, but just love. Mayowa travelled for six years; with the little money I was earning, I was sending money to Mayowa every time. I was sending flowers,” he said.
“Since 2021, I have not seen Mayowa again, until last year, I sent her ticket money to come to Nigeria. I went to the airport in two cars. I could not get a clip of hugging my wife. She did not kiss me. I slept in the living room for two days. I will send her N200k from the N500k gig.”
Ekpo alleged that Lambe shared an apartment abroad with a male flatmate — something he said he was uncomfortable with.
“She got a house and got a male flatmate. I was not comfortable with it, only for me to find out two days ago that the flatmate was sleeping with her. (It was not the same guy she married). I saw a picture of her sitting on a man’s leg at a restaurant,” he added.
Roby and Mayowa married in November 2015, though the pair kept most details of their relationship private.
Neither the pair publicly confirmed their separation, but Mayowa recently married another man in Texas, United States.
