A wave of Nigerian celebrities, including Evan Okoro, Cute Abiola, Salo, Tunde Perry, Tunde Ednut, and Carter Efe, have expressed shock over Gehgeh’s recent wedding. Footage from the event circulated on Saturday, drawing criticism from figures who previously followed his advice on his self-styled ‘marriage school.’ Gehgeh had famously characterized marriage as a financial error and a scam, often encouraging his followers to opt for co-parenting instead.
Actress Evan Okoro, who announced her separation in April 2025, accused Gehgeh of negatively influencing her marriage. In an Instagram video, she stated that Gehgeh once claimed any man he saw marrying was likely under the influence of spells. Feeling misled, she remarked that his decision to marry contradicts the very teachings he imposed on others. Other prominent figures echoed this sentiment. Tunde Ednut questioned the validity of the news, while Cute Abiola expressed disbelief, noting how close he came to following Gehgeh’s advice himself. Abiola thanked God for choosing to disassociate from Gehgeh’s influence before it affected his own family life. Additional reactions were shared by public figures including Tunde Perry, Izzy Ogbeide, and Daddy Freeze.
