She stated:

“If you want me to be faithful, stay faithful to me. Why cheat on me and treat me miserably while I remain loyal?”

According to her, men who claim they “can’t control themselves” need to exercise discipline and respect.

The actress, who recently underwent BBL, highlighted the destructive effects of infidelity on families and women, noting that cheating hurts the ones who dedicate themselves to building and nurturing relationships.

She shared:

“Cheating ruins you, your family, and hurts a woman who has dedicated her life to you. Some men are well-disciplined and understand the ethics of marriage and good relationships"

She also shared her perspective on emotional and psychological abuse.

“Abuse isn’t only physical; it’s also mental and psychological. When a woman is made to feel less than herself, that is abuse,” Uche said.

Beyond condemning infidelity, Uche spoke about self-love, honesty, and societal hypocrisy that pressure women to silently endure toxic relationships.

The actress encouraged women to understand their value and prioritize their emotional well-being.

Uche emphasised the importance of sharing personal experiences to empower other women.

She added:

“I often advise women: know your worth and don’t settle for relationships that drain you emotionally or psychologically. Love yourself enough before another man can love you. If your needs aren’t being met, what are you doing in that relationship?”

Uche Ogbodo opens up on mental health breakdown

Legit.ng earlier reported that Uche Ogbodo opened up about the personal reason behind her decision to undergo a Brazilian Bum Lift (BBL). The movie star revealed that it was driven by her mental health struggles and issues with her body shape following childbirth.

In a recent interview with Punch, the mother of three explained that her body changed drastically after having children, and it left her struggling to recognise herself. Ogbodo admitted that she no longer felt beautiful or confident after her third child, as this made her take a bold step toward reclaiming her happiness.

She stated, 'Well, about being naturally endowed, I don’t know how you mean because I didn’t have an hourglass shape. Growing up, I was very big up there, but that’s not all beauty entails nowadays."
