Pashotah, the wife of well-known content creator Kuye Adegoke, aka Egungun of Lagos, is facing criticism for standing by her husband following the leak of his private video.
A video of Egungun of Lagos recently went viral on social media, showing him brushing his teeth while on a video call with an unknown woman. During the call, he was dressed in shorts and inadvertently exposed himself.
In response, Pashotah issued a statement on Sunday, addressing the blackmail attempt related to her husband’s leaked videos.
She wrote,
“Hi guys, someone is blackmailing me with my husband’s videos. My name is Pashotah and y’all know who my husband is, obviously I know so many people have wanted to bring both of us down including guys and girls.
“I always choose to ignore but I’m not ignoring today cuz the blackmailer didn’t go to Egungun of Lagos directly to blackmail him but he came to me instead cos he has a motive of putting me to shame like he said in his messages above but one thing he (blackmailer) doesn’t know is that this relationship between myself and my husband is not just built today, this relationship has been coming for over 6-8 years when we both had nothing.
“This relationship is built on trust, understanding, loyalty, commitment and so many more. So there is nothing that can bring us down, not even now.”
This sparked widespread reactions online, as many have mocked her, describing her as an “understanding wife”.

“So Egungun wife watched that video and still had the temerity to come out and defend him? I thought we all agreed that Nigerian women now know their worth. Where was she when that decision was made? “
