In a recent reaction to a post by Nelly Agbogu, Okpocha expressed sadness over a woman’s revelation that her husband is not listed as her emergency contact because he rarely picks up her calls, even in urgent situations.
“And sometimes you wonder the essence of marriage…. when this is a tip of the iceberg of what women go through, sad!” Okpocha wrote.
