“Gee No Dey Marry Gee” — Empress Njamah Rejects Surprise Marriage Proposal From Close Friend, Sparks Emotional Reactions

Nollywood star Empress Njamah has stunned fans and stirred online debate after publicly turning down a marriage proposal from someone she described as a “bosom friend.” The dramatic moment — shared in a video on social media — captured her overwhelmed response as the man went down on one knee in front of friends and family, professing his love.

“I prayed to God and He answered me and brought you my way. Will you marry me?” he asked emotionally.
But Empress responded with grace and honesty:
“I’m overwhelmed… I respect you, your family, and your courage. But at the end of the day — I said I’m not interested.”

💬 “Better Friends Than Lovers”

In her post caption, the actress made it even clearer:

“AND I SAID NOOOOO… SAID NO TO MY GEE. GEE NO DEY MARRY GEE. BETTER FRIENDS THAN LOVERS.”

It’s a rare moment of truth, maturity, and boundary-setting, especially in a culture where societal pressure often forces people to say “yes” just to please others.

💭 Our Take: A Brave ‘No’ Is Sometimes More Loving Than a Fake ‘Yes’

Let’s be honest — saying no to a public proposal takes immense courage, especially in front of friends, family, and a camera. But Empress chose clarity over confusion, honesty over guilt, and friendship over a forced future.

Her decision also challenges a common myth:

"If you’re close friends, you must be soulmates."

But sometimes, deep friendships are not meant to become romance — and turning them into love stories may risk everything.

Empress’s story is a reminder that knowing what you don’t want is just as powerful as knowing what you do.
