A viral video allegedly showing controversial social media commentator and self styled men’s financial coach, Emmanuel Obruste popularly known as GehGeh tying the knot has ignited widespread reactions online.
The footage ignited intense debate, with many recalling how GehGeh built his online brand on discouraging men from getting married. Through his platform, which he describes as the “University of Wisdom and Understanding,” he has repeatedly argued that modern marriage is financially and emotionally disadvantageous for men.
Among his most controversial views is his recommendation that men should choose to have children through baby mamas rather than marry. In a recent interview, he also claimed to have four baby mamas going to eight while defending the lifestyle.
Also, GehGeh has frequently described modern marriage as a poor financial investment, alleging that it places an unfair burden on men. He has also drawn criticism for previously stating that he’ll consider marriage if a woman legally agreed to be regarded as his personal property, a remark that sparked widespread condemnation online or maybe a charm was placed on him to get married.
Backing his claims, he often referenced celebrity breakups, including those involving comedian AY Makun and actor Yul Edochie, as examples to support his belief that marriage can leave men financially and emotionally worse off.
GehGeh Controversial Remarks To Peller and Jarvis Wedding Video
However, the timing of the leaked wedding video has added another layer to the controversy. It surfaced shortly after GehGeh criticized TikTok personality Peller for paying the bride price of his partner, Jarvis, arguing that the content creator was too young and not mentally prepared for marriage.
Following the emergence of the alleged wedding footage, social media users quickly revisited those comments, accusing GehGeh of applying a double standard. Many argued that while he publicly discouraged others from marrying, he was allegedly making preparations for his own wedding.
Several users also turned his own expressions against him. GehGeh had previously described singer Davido’s marriage as a “financial mistake,” prompting many commenters to jokingly congratulate him for making what they called his own “mighty financial mistake.”
Notably, GehGeh on the other hand claims the wedding is for his best female friend whom he considers the best man. The statement sparked fresh online debate, driving broader conversations about consistency among influencers and whether audiences should hold public figures accountable when their actions contradict the advice they give.
