Viral 'Wedding' Was Publicity Stunt, Nigerian Content Creator Admits

Emmanuel Obruste, a content creator and relationship commentator widely known as GehGeh, has admitted that the wedding ceremony that recently captivated and divided online audiences was, in fact, a staged event. The ceremony, which featured GehGeh and a woman in matching traditional attire, went viral over the weekend, leading many to believe the influencer had secretly married.

“

We organised everything as a normal promo. And so far, apart from the fact that we purposely did it, I still wanted to get the public’s reactions.

The staged wedding sparked considerable debate, with fans and fellow creators accusing GehGeh of contradicting his established views on relationships. Even his family members reportedly questioned their exclusion from the supposed nuptials. Addressing the controversy, GehGeh explained in an interview that the event was a "normal promo" designed to gauge public reactions.

“

Some people have a misunderstanding about my GehGeh Wisdom and Knowledge University. When you see some people, the major thing they have been saying is that GehGeh told them not to get married, but I got married.

He further stated that the stunt was intended to correct widespread misunderstandings about his "GehGeh Wisdom and Knowledge University." GehGeh clarified that he has never advocated against marriage itself, but rather promotes polygamy as a superior alternative to monogamy. "I did not kick against marriage. I said, ‘Do not marry, and even if you must marry, go for polygamy,’" he explained.

“

I did not kick against marriage. I said, ‘Do not marry, and even if you must marry, go for polygamy.’ This is because polygamy is the path that guides a man’s heart from heartbreak.

GehGeh elaborated on his controversial stance, arguing that polygamy helps protect men from emotional manipulation. "Because when you are with different women, it will be hard for one woman to manipulate you. And this was what our forefathers practised. That is the core principle of my university," he said. His clarification aims to reconcile his public persona with the recent viral event, emphasizing his consistent philosophy on relationships and marriage.
