would still have been married to Orode, daughter of former Delta State
governor, Emmanuel Uduaghan, but he is no longer her husband.
He was
said to have walked out of the 4-year-old marriage.
According
to reliable sources, his action was due to the fact that he did not get
proceeds he expected from the marriage. Findings revealed that unknown to
Orode, Ryan wooed her and got married to her simply because he wanted to lay
his hands on her father’s wealth.
This
surely didn’t go down well with Ryan as he saw his dreams of luxury and power
disappeared into thin air. Eventually, he counted his losses and walked out of
his marriage with the ex-governor’s daughter. Sources close to the family

Orode and Ryan |
Before Ryan, she dated former West African
Idol’s contestant, Eric Arubayi, who was her longtime boyfriend. Even her
parents had thought Eric would be the lucky man. But the roller coaster
relationship ended sadly. No one could tell why they broke up since the younger
Uduaghan’s parents took an instant liking to the light skinned handsome dude so
much so that it was alleged in some quarters that the older Arubayi was made the
Vice Chancellor of Delta State University, Abraka because of the young lads’
relationship, which both families had thought would end on a good note. Ryan is
one of the sons of Raymond Okpu, an economist on the board of Intercontinental
homes.
