‘5,000 men want to marry me,’ Nkechi Blessing laments flood of marriage proposals over phone number leak

Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing has revealed that she is being overwhelmed by a constant stream of marriage proposals and unsolicited messages from strangers on social media.

The actress shared a video on Instagram explaining that her Facebook account, which is linked to her phone number, has become a major source of daily distress.

According to her, she wakes up each day to “thousands of messages” from men of different ages and locations, many of whom introduce themselves, ask about her relationship status, and openly express their desire to marry her.

She said the situation has turned her WhatsApp inbox into something she described as “chaotic,” with more than “5,000 unread messages piling up”.

Nkechi expressed frustration over her inability to stop the influx, explaining that all efforts to remove or change her contact details on Facebook have been unsuccessful.

“This number they are calling me on is a number that I cannot change. My WhatsApp is a mess. I have over 5,000 messages from different types of men on Facebook on my WhatsApp. I am tired. How many be my body wey over 5,000 men wan marry me at the same time,” she said.

While confirming that she is single and a mother, the 36-year-old actress made it clear that she is not looking for a relationship.

“Please, I need help on how to remove my phone number from Facebook,” she appealed. “I don’t know which video trended online. Please, I am single, but I am not searching. Stop texting my number.”

In April 2022, Nkechi Blessing announced that she had ended her 10-month relationship with politician Opeyemi Falegan.
