August 18, (THEWILL) –Â Gone are the days when Orode, the daughter of the immediate past governor of Delta State, Emmanuel Uduaghan caught the media bug and more often than not, appeared on the gossip pages of tabloids for one thing or the other; either for her charity work, or for her work in film or for her marriage which the media feasted on hungrily. Not any more now as Orode and everything that has to do with her, has taken a back seat since her marriage ended on a sad note. When she walked down the aisle in 2011 to the love of her life, Ryan Okpu at only 22, many wished her well and hoped that the union would last. But alas, they were both unable to keep the threads that held her marriage together.
They both ended things in 2016, citing irreconcilable differences as their reason. The union produced two children. Many alluded to the fact that her husband married her as his meal ticket but then things degenerated so fast between them when he realized he wasn’t going to be living the life of luxury he had envisioned marrying a governor’s daughter. While Ryan has since remarried, Orode hasn’t, preferring instead to spend her time running her Pink Pearl Foundation that helps women battling with breast cancer, embracing film production, mentoring younger ones and sharing the good news of the gospel via her Youtube channel.
