Secrets Of Odogwu Marriages: Lady Explains Why Rich Men’s Wives Stay Quiet On Social Media

A Nigerian lady, Evelyn Nneka Obasi, has explained why women married to wealthy and influential men rarely rant about their marriages online.

She said it is not because such unions are perfect, but because the wives have mastered the art of turning a blind eye to their husbands’ shortcomings, including infidelity.

In a Facebook post on Wednesday, Obasi noted that discretion is key for anyone married to an “Odogwu.” She wrote: “To remain with an Odogwu, you must learn how to pretend you are not seeing things. There is a reason big men’s wives don’t rant on SM.”

According to her, even the most respected names in society are not without flaws, and their wives are often aware of these failings but choose silence over public drama. She added that learning to stay composed, as long as there is no abuse, is part of what it takes to remain in such marriages, stressing that “you have to train yourself not to be random… You will see things tire.”
