Social media has been awash with reactions after controversial Nigerian content creator and self-styled relationship and finance influencer, Emmanuel Obruste, popularly known as GehGeh, appeared in viral wedding photos and videos that suggested he had secretly tied the knot.

The clips, which spread rapidly across X, Facebook, TikTok and other platforms, showed the outspoken influencer dressed in traditional wedding attire alongside a woman identified as Mary, leading many Nigerians to believe that one of the country's most controversial voices on relationships had finally gotten married.

The speculation quickly became one of the most talked-about topics online because GehGeh has built his brand around giving bold and often controversial opinions about relationships, marriage and finances.

Many social media users accused him of contradicting his own teachings, while others congratulated him and wished him a happy married life.

However, as the rumours continued to gather momentum, different explanations emerged from GehGeh himself, while additional information later surfaced about what truly happened.

How the Marriage Rumours Started

The rumours began after GehGeh shared videos from what appeared to be a traditional wedding ceremony on his X page over the weekend. The videos showed him and a woman wearing matching burgundy traditional outfits, with GehGeh dressed in a flowing agbada decorated with black bead necklaces.

An invitation card visible in one of the clips added more weight to the speculation. The card carried the date of July 26 and stated that the traditional marriage ceremony would begin at 11 a.m. It also identified the couple as Prosper and Mary.

The videos quickly went viral, with many Nigerians concluding that GehGeh had secretly abandoned his long-held position on marriage. Fellow content creators also joined the debate, with some mocking him and accusing him of hypocrisy.

The controversy grew even bigger because GehGeh has repeatedly criticised modern relationships and often advises men to be careful before making marital commitments. For many of his critics, the wedding videos appeared to contradict the image he had created over the years.

GehGeh Responds to Criticism

As criticism intensified online, GehGeh insisted that many people had misunderstood his message on relationships.

According to him, he had never advised Nigerians against getting married.

"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," he wrote on social media.

Before making further clarifications, GehGeh also posted another message suggesting that he had merely attended the ceremony on behalf of a family member.

"So I no fit represent my brother wey dey abroad?" he asked in Pidgin English.

Despite those explanations, the rumours refused to die down as more wedding videos and photographs continued to circulate across social media platforms, prompting fresh questions about whether the influencer had actually married in secret.

AI Claims, Movie Reports and What Really Happened

As the speculation continued, GehGeh released another video in which he denied getting married and claimed the viral wedding content was manipulated using artificial intelligence.

Speaking in Pidgin English, he said, "Nothing wey Nigerian women never do take bring me down. Na AI. Una wan come edit me into marriage. I am now a married man. AI, thank you for organizing marriage on my behalf."

He further alleged that some women were deliberately trying to damage his reputation because of his outspoken opinions on marriage and relationships.

GehGeh also warned Nigerians against believing everything they see online, arguing that advances in artificial intelligence have made it increasingly difficult to distinguish genuine images and videos from manipulated ones.

However, another explanation later emerged from people familiar with the production. According to reports, the viral wedding videos and photographs were actually behind-the-scenes footage from an upcoming movie project titled Our Inlaw rather than a real-life marriage ceremony.

The clarification indicated that the wedding scenes were filmed as part of the movie production, explaining why the ceremony appeared authentic and why invitation cards and traditional marriage activities featured in the clips.

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has declared interest in joining the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) nationwide strike action which will commence on August 6, 2023.

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that t he NLC is embarking on a two-day warning strike over the fuel subsidy removal, naira devaluation, and alleged threats by the Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike, to demolish properties belonging to workers in the federal capital.

ASUU President, Osedeke Emmanuel said the union will comply with NLC's directive on the planned strike.

"We are members of NLC, affiliates, therefore if they declare a strike, our members will be part of it," Emmanuel told The Whistler Newspaper.

"The ball is in the government's hands. Let them solve the problem, and then there won't be a strike. If NLC decides to go on strike, as an affiliate we don't have any option but to comply."

The over 81 universities that are members of ASUU may be affected by the planned strike. They include 43 federal universities and 38 state universities.

The Labour Party in Nigeria is experiencing a deepening crisis in its national leadership as factions continue to clash at the party's headquarters in Abuja.

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that on Wednesday, state chairmen of the party prevented Lamidi Apapa-led National Working Committee (NWC) from accessing the headquarters.

It can be recalled that last week, the Apapa-led NWC had taken over the party's affairs, citing a court ruling that restrained Julius Abure from acting as the National Chairman of the party.

However, on Friday, the 36 state chairmen of the party forced their way into the headquarters, insisting that Abure was still the party's leader. They also urged the Apapa-led NWC to withdraw their case in court and use the internal dispute resolution mechanism of the Labour Party.

In front of the office gate on Wednesday, the State chairman of LP in Kwara State and the chairman for all the Chairmen Forum LP Nigeria, Kehinde Rotimi, expressed his frustration at being locked out of the party's secretariat, and when the Apapa-led faction arrived, they were also denied access, leading to a standoff outside the building.

He said: “We have been here for quite some days now, for screening of some of our gubernatorial candidates for the forthcoming election in Bayelsa, Kogi and Imo States. We were at the screening yesterday when we learnt that some people brought themselves to this office to do screening for candidates.

“When we heard that, we said that that is an aberration because they do not have the locus standing to do that. And I am a member of a screening committee where we screened so many candidates yesterday, so I do not know how they manipulated one or two candidates to come here yesterday and impersonated some of the candidates so that’s why we came here yesterday, on getting to our secretariat, we wanted to hold a meeting and we discovered it was under lock and key.

“We met some DSS men and some vigilante groups, some thugs and miscreants and they said they asked them to lock the Secretariat. So in the course of discussing that, the legal committee led by Apapa came around and were trying to engage us, their thugs were almost attacking us and we resisted every temptation to cause commotion and crises because we know the case is in Court, anything in court you don’t discuss it and we don’t want to commit contempt of court and that’s why we now said okay, what do we do, let’s stay here. So they could not enter, we too, could not enter.

“We know by tomorrow, every legal process will be completed and I know that by the time the court gives the normal ruling because when you accuse someone of an offense, especially a criminal offense, the person must be heard according to session 36 of the Nigerian constitution. In this case, you accuse four principal officers of the party of a very serious offense but they have not been heard by the court. The next thing we are hearing is that they should stop parading themselves as officers of LP. And we are part of the chairmen’s council, which is a very integral part of NEC and have the final authority to rectify any decision taken by the party. We have not met and we told them, go and wait for the court to decide they don’t want to do that. They are taking laws into their own hands. Every day they keep coming here when they discover we were tracked for an assignment. They came here quickly to come and cause trouble.”

In response to the event, LP Youth leader Anslem Eragbe, who was suspended by the NWC but reinstated by the Apapa-led NWC, declared that they were simply following the party's constitution and bemoaned the treatment of the interim national chairperson, Apapa.

Modified:its already in abk shipping to ita oshin bfor it lands in lafenwa

Good luck man!

MickzyDonald:
Cuban,chain + pendant....But the satus has changed to shipped, it has now changed to shipped, which means it's has been dispatched but hasn't gotten to the sorting center at ikeja... how's your order??

mine was a laptop. I cancelled it after three days

MickzyDonald:
same thing over here also, i even cancelled a different product and I'm yet to see a refund, but I'm not yet sure when they'll ship it

What was the product?

YoonSung77:
The seller is yet to confirm the order

Okay.
Like am really worried because I think the order might not be confirmed. Has this happened to you before?
Could I have a chat with you on Facebook?

YoonSung77:
It means the order have not been confirmed yet. Jumia just started something, each time you place an order the order status will be on pending, after some days Jumia support or sales team will call you to confirm the order. Once the your answers relate with the order details, the order will be approved and notice will be sent to the seller, to ship the order. In some cases, they don't call you, once you place the order, a message will be sent to your phone number containing a link to confirm your order. They just started this stuff and it's pissing me off already because it delays delivery time.

Meanwhile, if the order status is "Awaiting Fulfilment" that means the seller haven't shipped the order yet.

This is what is displayed.

Okay.
If the order is awaiting fulfilment, when would it finally be fulfilled?

Anyone to help explain these to me?

Good day everyone.
Please, I ordered from Jumia three days ago but up till now its still pending confirmation.

This is after a mail confirming my order and payment was sent to me. Meanwhile tracking the item, it shows that the order is “waiting to be fulfilled.”

The Nigerian government is considering implementation of a zero data charge on educational websites policy as it reiterates intention of improving the broadband penetration across the country.



This was revealed by Isa Pantami, the minister of Communications and Digital Economy in an address at a recent webinar in Abuja. The minister who was there represented by Mr Usman Gambo, director, Information Technology Infrastructure Solutions, National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), stated that sufficient access to the internet was necessary to boost the broadband penetration level in the country.

Nigeria’s broadband penetration currently stands at 40.2% and the ministry hopes to accelerate it to 70% in 2025 through its National broadband plan. It should be noted that the Nigerian telecom regulator, the NCC, is a commission under the ministry of communication and digital economy and literally comes under the dictates of the ministry.

The focus of the National broadband 2025 plan is on enabling appropriate contents, infrastructure, capabilities for learning and teaching, the minister had said.

Geared towards meeting up with the 2020-2025 broadband plan

Although they are yet to come out clean about how this data policy is to be implemented, the ministry states that the move is a part of its vast broadband plan.

To meet-up with the infrastructural requirement necessary to offset the broadband penetration deficiency, the minister said the ministry had established digital centres, capacity training centres, e-accessibility centres, school knowledge centres, e- Libraries, ICT Hubs and innovation parks across the country especially in rural areas where these are seldomly obtainable.

The zero charge on educational sites policy is one of the ways the government hopes to employ in meeting-up with their broadband penetration target. And this zero data charge policy had long already been employed by some selected telecommunication operators like MTN and 9mobile.
