A TikTok video by @nkubi_wife has gone viral after she shared the heart-wrenching advice she allegedly received regarding her marriage to popular Nollywood actor and OAP, Nkubi. In the emotional clip, she revealed that she was once advised by a medical professional to seek a pregnancy outside of her marriage due to her husband’s dwarfism.
She explained that the pressure wasn’t just external; some voices suggested she should even consider his brother-in-law to ensure her children wouldn’t inherit her husband’s physical condition. The revelation has sparked a massive wave of support for the couple, who have been vocal about their love despite societal prejudice.
Nkubi, known for his roles in various Nollywood productions and his work at Wazobia FM, has often spoken about the challenges of living with dwarfism. However, this is the first time his wife has shared such specific details about the medical and social hurdles they faced while trying to build their family.
Fans have flooded the comments section of her posts, praising her loyalty and slamming the “insensitive” advice of the unnamed doctor. The couple continues to be a symbol of resilience in the Nigerian entertainment space, frequently sharing moments of their happy domestic life to counter the negativity.
* Naija News (Entertainment): “Doctor advised me to get pregnant outside… Nkubi’s wife opens up about the struggles of dwarfism in marriage.”
* Leadership Nigeria (Lifestyle): “Doctor Wanted Me To Get Pregnant Outside… Nkubi’s Wife Opens Up… couple continues to thrive.”
Echotitbits take:
This story sheds light on the deep-seated stigma surrounding physical disabilities in Nigeria, even within professional medical circles. By speaking out, Nkubi’s wife is challenging the narrative that people with dwarfism cannot have healthy, “normal” families. It’s a powerful viral moment that shifts the focus from celebrity gossip to a much-needed conversation about disability rights and marital loyalty.
