“Go Run Am!” — Uche Ogbodo’s Husband Sparks Debate After Urging Women to Do BBL and Tummy Tuck for Confidence

Social media is buzzing after Bobby Marris, husband of popular Nollywood actress Uche Ogbodo, boldly encouraged women to undergo cosmetic surgery if they can afford it — insisting it boosts confidence and helps keep men interested.

His comments came just two days after his wife underwent another liposuction (lipo) surgery, sparking fresh conversations about body image, self-esteem, and societal pressure on women to look a certain way.

In a video shared online, Bobby didn’t mince words as he urged women to “go for it.”

“If you know you as a lady can afford a BBL, a tummy tuck, or whatever, abeg go run am,” he said.
“Especially after having kids. Because if you nor do am, that your man wey dey tell you make you nor do am, e go dey follow baddies wey do am — Lagos babes, Port Harcourt babes wey don run am.”

Bobby concluded by saying that the surgeries are “for your own confidence.”

💬 Opinion: Confidence or Conformity? The Thin Line Between Self-Love and Social Pressure

Bobby Marris’ statement has opened up a fiery debate — one that sits right at the intersection of modern beauty standards and self-acceptance.

On one hand, there’s nothing wrong with a woman choosing to enhance her body if it helps her feel more confident. After all, confidence is deeply personal — and for some, it might come from fitness, fashion, or even cosmetic procedures.

But Bobby’s message takes a controversial turn when he ties a woman’s body to her man’s loyalty. Suggesting that women need surgery to keep their partners from wandering doesn’t empower them — it reinforces the idea that a woman’s worth depends on her appearance.

True confidence isn’t built on comparison or competition; it’s built on self-acceptance. If surgery helps someone love themselves more, that’s fine — but it should be a choice of self-love, not fear of losing love.

Still, Bobby’s openness about the topic reflects a larger societal reality: we live in a world where “body goals” are constantly glorified online. Many women feel pressured to alter themselves just to fit into what’s trending — forgetting that beauty, in its truest form, is diverse and personal.

As conversations continue, perhaps the real message should be this: whether you choose surgery or not, let your decision come from confidence, not comparison.
