Popular Nollywood actress Empress Njamah has stunned fans with her candid revelation that she turned down a marriage proposal—and from someone she considers a bosom friend.
In a video shared on social media, the actress detailed how the surprise proposal took place in front of family and close friends, with the suitor going down on one knee and declaring:
“I prayed to God and He answered me and brought you my way. Will you marry me?”
Empress, visibly emotional in the footage, acknowledged the grand gesture but ultimately said no.
“I am so emotional right now, but I have to speak. You actually omitted the fact that you threw this in front of your friends and family. I respect them so much, and I am overwhelmed. I didn’t expect that it would happen so soon. Coming from the king of Abuja, for you to go on your knees, to do this for me… and at the end of the day, I said I am not interested,” she explained.
“Gee No Dey Marry Gee”
In a caption accompanying the post, Empress clarified her decision with a simple but powerful message:
“AND I SAID NOOOOO. SAID NO TO MY GEE. GEE NO DEY MARRY GEE. BETTER FRIENDS THAN LOVERS.”
Her response has sparked widespread discussion online, with fans applauding her honesty and others expressing surprise at the turn of events. Some praised her for prioritizing emotional clarity and friendship over societal expectations, while others speculated about the backstory behind the proposal.
