Nigerian medical doctor and content creator Aproko Doctor has sparked conversations online after revealing that his wife, Chef Amaka, did not fit the image of his ideal partner when they first met.
Speaking during an interview, Aproko Doctor explained that although his wife didn’t match the physical “spec” he had imagined, he fell in love with her because of her personality, values, and compassion. 
“My wife didn’t look anything like the spec I created in my head. It was what she was saying, her thoughts, and most importantly, her heart for people. She was peace for me.”
His remarks have generated mixed reactions on social media.
While some applauded him for highlighting the importance of character over physical appearance, others argued that publicly stating one’s spouse was not their “spec” could be hurtful, regardless of the intended message.
The comments come shortly after Chef Amaka shared her emotional journey living with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and the hurtful remarks she endured about her appearance and fertility after their marriage.
