Content creator Emmanuel Obruste, popularly known as Geh Geh, has finally broken his silence on the wedding videos that sparked widespread debate across social media last weekend. In a candid podcast interview, he revealed that the entire event was a carefully orchestrated promotional stunt rather than a genuine marriage ceremony.
Geh Geh Addresses Wedding Video Controversy
The clips, which showed Geh Geh and a woman dressed in matching burgundy traditional attire, quickly went viral, drawing sharp criticism from fans and fellow influencers. Many accused the relationship commentator of contradicting his well-known public views on dating and marriage. The situation escalated when members of his own family publicly expressed their frustration, claiming they had not been invited to the supposed wedding.
Initially, Geh Geh responded defensively, stating that he had never explicitly told people to avoid marriage. However, he refrained from directly addressing the authenticity of the event until his appearance on the BTC Podcast, which aired on YouTube on 29 July 2026.
The Stunt Explained
During the interview, Geh Geh confirmed that the wedding setup was intentional, designed both as a promotional exercise and a social experiment. "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," he said in pidgin English. He explained that the stunt was part of a broader strategy to gauge audience responses while promoting his brand.
The revelation has since sparked renewed discussions about the ethics of using personal milestones for marketing purposes, with some critics arguing that the stunt misled the public and his family.
Family Reaction and Online Criticism
The online backlash was compounded by the public statements from Geh Geh's siblings, who took to social media to express their disappointment at being excluded from the event. The family's remarks added a layer of personal drama to the controversy, forcing Geh Geh to address the situation more thoroughly. In the podcast, he acknowledged the family's concerns but maintained that the event was not a real wedding, thus justifying the lack of invitations.
Geh Geh's Actual Views on Marriage
Geh Geh used the opportunity to clarify his teachings from what he calls his "Geh Geh University of Wisdom and Knowledge." He emphasised that many people have misrepresented his stance on marriage. "Some people have a misunderstanding about my Geh Geh Wisdom and Knowledge University. When you see some people, the major thing they have been saying is that Geh Geh told them not to get married, but I got married," he said.
Rather than opposing marriage outright, Geh Geh explained that his position centres on advocating for polygamy over monogamy, which he believes protects men emotionally. "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," he stated. He further argued that having multiple partners reduces the risk of emotional manipulation and is rooted in tradition. "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 added.
Personal Life Revelations
In addition to addressing the wedding stunt, Geh Geh opened up about his personal life, revealing that he currently has four baby mamas, with children ranging from four years old to just a few months. He also disclosed that two additional women are pregnant for him, a revelation that has generated significant online buzz. These details have further fueled debates about his lifestyle and its consistency with his public teachings.
The podcast interview has provided a comprehensive look into Geh Geh's motivations and perspectives, though it remains to be seen whether the clarification will quell the ongoing controversy or deepen the divide among his followers.
