Social Media Erupts After Women Empowerment Advocate Ridicules Calabar Men, Targets Roby Ekpo

Her comments followed Roby’s recent appearance on the Honest Bunch podcast, where he opened up about challenges in his marriage to his estranged wife, Mayowa, particularly disagreements surrounding intimacy.

Roby explained that, given his age, he could not keep up with his wife’s expectation for daily intimacy, saying he was comfortable with one or two rounds and preferred a less frequent schedule. He stressed that at nearly 48, he could not live like a younger man.

Reacting in a Facebook post on Wednesday, Isabella questioned the long-held reputation of Calabar men as exceptional lovers, joking that Roby could not “deliver his federal constituency.”

She mocked his comments about intimacy, argued women in their 30s and 40s often have strong sexual needs, and used the moment to criticize what she described as unrealistic claims some men make about aging, polygamy, and marrying much younger women. Her remarks have since sparked reactions online.
