•Gospel singer Paul Nwokocha and estranged wife, Goodness
Popular gospel singer Paul Nwokocha has finally addressed the swirling rumours about his marital woes, delivering a no-holds-barred statement in a trending video on his official YouTube channel.
Nwokocha declared that he has no regrets about ending his marriage, citing his wife’s alleged “abominable acts” as the reason behind his decision, reports The PUNCH.
“If I marry today and find out that the wife I married is doing an abominable thing before God and before man, I will send you out of my house,” he asserted in the video, which was posted yesterday.
The gospel artiste went on to make shocking revelations about his estranged wife’s alleged actions, claiming she had been sending nude photos and videos to other men.
He challenged critics who questioned his decision to separate from her, asking how they would react if faced with a similar betrayal.
“I married a wife, not a whore. So, I owe nobody an apology for this,” he stated emphatically.
The video has since ignited a firestorm on social media, with netizens divided over his public outburst and personal revelations.
While some support his firm stance on morality, others question the wisdom of airing such private matters in public.
Meanwhile, Nwokocha’s latest marital crisis follows a pattern of controversial separations.
According to ABNTV today, he has now ended his second marriage after just two years, with the bride’s family formally returning the bride price—an act that traditionally signals the dissolution of a union.
Nwokocha’s marital crises
Nwokocha married his second wife, Goodness, in September 2023, barely a month after parting ways with his first wife, Alice.
His separation from Alice was reportedly due to what he described as “maltreatment,” including her alleged refusal to serve him food.
The singer has previously expressed his belief that marriage should be “for better, for better”— a deviation from the conventional “for better, for worse” vow.
A family source, speaking on the condition of anonymity, disclosed that Goodness’s marriage to Nwokocha was fraught with difficulties from the start. She allegedly endured mistreatment in her new home, where she was treated more like a housemaid than a wife, reports ABNTV earlier on Saturday.
The source further revealed that Goodness had no prior romantic history with Nwokocha before their marriage. She had relocated from Lagos to be with him at the insistence of his uncles, without conducting any background checks.
By May 2024, tensions had escalated, and with the return of the bride price, their marriage was officially over.
