He was quoted as saying that such is an “abomination and taboo”, adding that “…as long as I and the entire family of Ezeonu and his kindred are concerned, Ogechukwu Edwina Ezeonu is not married.”

Dennis described the marriage ceremony like the one that happens in Nollywood movies, saying it is not a real one.

“Ogechukwu Edwina Ezeonu is yet to marry. What happened at Asaba Delta State on the 15th of February 2020 was the usual Nollywood home video film shooting. As at the time I lived with Ngozi Denis Ikpelue, I have three children; a daughter and two boys,” he said.

The actress’ ex-husband also said that woman has been deceiving many that she is still married to him, adding that the legal dissolution of their marriage happened in 2015.

The gospeller said that the sole reason why many women stay unmarried is that they cannot find a rich man.

He added that the women want rich women so that the wealthy men can pay for the expensive wedding that they and their family cannot afford.

Omokri said that the problem stems from the fact that these women want to have the kind of big wedding that their neighbours had.
