Men's coach Gehgeh, popularly known for his podcast advising men against marriage and spending on women, has come under fire after getting married in Minna over the weekend. The wedding, which saw him happily spraying money, contradicts his long-standing public teachings, prompting accusations of hypocrisy.
Gehgeh's Anti-Marriage Teachings
Gehgeh rose to fame through his podcast and guest appearances on other popular shows, where he consistently urged men to avoid marriage. He described marriage as a financial mistake and a tool used by women to destroy men. Among his famous statements: "Don't get married, women, they use marriage as a tool to destroy men." "Marriage is a financial mistake, don't marry." "Marriage na scam." "Men shouldn't get married." "Baby mama is the new way to go. Marriage is old fashioned." These teachings attracted a significant following among men who embraced his views.
The Wedding That Changed Everything
However, this weekend, Gehgeh tied the knot in a ceremony in Minna. Photos and videos of him dancing joyously and spraying money at his bride circulated widely on social media, leading to immediate backlash from his followers. Men who had subscribed to his philosophy accused him of deceiving them, noting that his actions directly contradicted his words.
Gehgeh's Denial and Evidence
Reacting on X (formerly Twitter), Gehgeh denied ever telling men not to marry. He wrote: "I never for once told y’all not to get married. Did I? If yes show me a video of me telling you not to marry." His response prompted a flood of replies from followers who posted multiple video clips from his own podcast and interviews, clearly showing him advising men against marriage. The videos resurfaced on platforms like Instagram, posted by accounts such as @lindaikejiblogofficial and @m.a_shots10, further fueling the controversy.
Impact and Public Reaction
The incident has sparked widespread debate about the influence of relationship coaches and the accountability of public figures. Critics argue that Gehgeh's teachings were harmful, and his wedding undermines his credibility. The hashtag #Gehgeh hypocrisy trends online, with many calling out what they see as a double standard. Supporters, however, defend his right to change his mind, though they remain a minority.
As the story continues to unfold, Gehgeh has not issued a further statement. The controversy highlights the challenges faced by online personalities whose personal lives may contradict their public personas. It remains to be seen how this will affect his following and future engagements.
