  • Videos circulating online show Nigerian financial expert Emmanuel “Geh Geh” Obruste at a traditional wedding, sparking debate about his stance on marriage.
  • Geh Geh, known for content discouraging marriage, insists he never advised against it, challenging followers to provide evidence.
  • The videos emerged shortly after Geh Geh revealed he has four baby mamas and expects two more children, further fueling discussion.

Videos purportedly showing Nigerian social media personality Emmanuel “Geh Geh” Obruste at a traditional wedding ceremony have ignited a firestorm of debate online, with many questioning the authenticity of the event and its implications for his public persona.

Obruste, who has cultivated a large following by discussing relationships and finances, has often been interpreted by his followers as discouraging men from marrying. This perception intensified following the emergence of wedding videos, prompting him to address the controversy on his X (formerly Twitter) page. He vehemently denied ever advising men against marriage, challenging anyone to produce video evidence of such statements.

"I never for once told you all not to get married. Did I? If yes, show me a video of me telling you not to marry," he wrote, adding, "Did I ask you to break up with your girlfriend?"

I never for once told you all not to get married. Did I? If yes, show me a video of me telling you not to marry.

The videos, which surfaced over the weekend, depict Obruste in traditional attire alongside a woman, engaged in activities typical of a wedding, such as dancing and cake-cutting. While the clips have circulated widely on fan pages and social media accounts, Obruste has not officially confirmed if the ceremony was his wedding or identified the woman.

Adding another layer to the unfolding narrative, the videos emerged just days after Obruste revealed on the "Echo Room podcast" that he has four baby mamas and is expecting two more children with different women. He stated he is involved with multiple women rather than being in a singular relationship, noting his first child is about four years old and his youngest is only a few months old.

This revelation, coupled with the wedding videos, has intensified the debate among his followers. Some maintain that his content consistently discourages marriage, while others argue he merely warns men about the financial aspects of relationships without explicitly advising against matrimony. The ambiguity surrounding the videos leaves the public guessing whether they represent a genuine personal event or a staged production for content.

Did I ask you to break up with your girlfriend?
