Equatorial Guinea’s financial chief, Baltasar Enonga, is at the center of a social media storm after police reportedly discovered over 400 leaked sex tapes involving multiple women, including high-profile wives linked to government officials and even family members.
According to reports, the footage, which features Enonga with his pregnant uncle’s wife, his younger brother’s wife, and the wives of colleagues and government heads, surfaced during a fraud investigation where authorities raided Enonga’s residence.
The discovery has triggered an online frenzy, with users in Equatorial Guinea and beyond engaging in heated discussions over the scandal.
Social media platforms have become battlegrounds of opinion, with some debating the moral implications, others discussing privacy, and many reflecting on marriage dynamics.
Reacting to the news, Nigerian musician Yemi Alade added her voice to the ongoing conversation. Known for her outspoken personality, Alade commented on Twitter, seemingly addressing husbands rather than Enonga’s actions.
“Give your wife attention!!! Common you look beautiful today will go a long way,” she tweeted, suggesting that a lack of affection might drive women toward infidelity.
Her statement sparked an intense wave of reactions from fans and critics alike. Some followers backed Alade, agreeing that emotional neglect from husbands can strain marriages, while others countered her, arguing that infidelity is a matter of personal responsibility.
“This is not the way out for a promiscuous woman,” one critic retorted, emphasizing that individuals should be accountable for their actions regardless of marital circumstances.
The scandal, laden with allegations of betrayal and misuse of power, has raised questions about personal ethics among high-ranking officials in Equatorial Guinea. As more details emerge, discussions continue around issues of marital fidelity, respect, and the ethical expectations for public figures.
Enonga’s actions, coupled with Alade’s divisive commentary, have intensified a broader conversation on relationships, fidelity, and attention within marriages, leaving people questioning the deeper issues at play in cases of extramarital affairs.
Whether or not Enonga faces consequences beyond social media scrutiny, the incident has become a viral sensation, showcasing how a personal scandal can evolve into a national, even international, discourse on marriage, power, and responsibility.
