Actor Uzor Arukwe has counselled unmarried women to put their growth and self-esteem ahead of finding a wealthy and supportive spouse.
Arukwe responded to the social media kudos his character Odogwu received by stressing that Chioma, his on-screen companion, was already a valuable and hard-working lady before Odogwu helped her.
Arukwe encouraged women to increase their own worth in a post on his X handle, claiming that attractive men will inevitably be attracted to them.
By encouraging women to concentrate on their own personal development, he helped them draw in a spouse who values and supports them.
He wrote:
“While we are basking in our delulu, it’s important to remember that Odogwu saw Chioma as a valuable woman before throwing his full weight to support her. He didn’t even need to ask what she brings to the table because it was clear she’s an industrious woman.

“So as a woman, build value for yourself first, and your Odogwu will locate you to become your helpmate that makes everything easier to handle.”
In April, Uzor Arukwe opened up regarding the surprising rumour about his sexuality,
In an interview, Arukwe recounted his initial reaction to hearing the rumour: that he was gay
“They said that I was gay, and that shocked me to my balls. I was excited too. Cos I heard that when they start saying those kinds of things, you will blow (famous), so I thought to myself, ‘this must be it.’”
His response highlights the unexpected nature of the rumour and his ability to find humour in the situation.
While addressing the rumour, Arukwe expressed his support for the LGBTQ+ community:
“So, I have a lot of gay friends, they are my people, and I know their sexuality. And I love them to death. I have nothing against them whatsoever, but I’m not going to agree to what I’m not just because to some people they are a certain type of people. For me, let God judge.”
His comments emphasise respect and acceptance, while also asserting his own identity.
Arukwe made it clear that if the rumour were true, he would openly embrace it:
“If it were my sexuality, I would own it. I’ll be one of the hottest around. I would own it with my chest.”
