Nigerian Socialite Pretty Mike Condemns Baltasar Engonga Amidst Scandal Involving Brother’s Wife and Married Women

In a recent development that has captured widespread attention, Nigerian socialite and entrepreneur, Pretty Mike, has publicly criticised Baltasar Ebang Engonga, the former Director-General of Equatorial Guinea’s National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF), following allegations of Engonga’s intimate relationships with his brother’s wife and multiple married women.

Engonga, 54, known for his influential position and close ties to President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, has been embroiled in controversy after a raid on his residence reportedly uncovered over 400 explicit videos involving more than 300 women.

The scandal has not only tarnished his reputation but also sparked discussions about ethics and abuse of power among high-ranking officials.

Pretty Mike, born Mike Eze Nwalie Nwogu, is renowned in Nigeria for his flamboyant lifestyle and ownership of Club Uno in Lagos. He has often been a subject of media attention due to his unconventional appearances at events, such as attending weddings with multiple pregnant women. Despite his own controversies, Pretty Mike has taken a firm stance against Engonga’s alleged actions, emphasising the sanctity of marriage and condemning the betrayal of familial trust.

Public reactions to Pretty Mike’s condemnation have been mixed. Some individuals commend him for speaking out against moral misconduct, highlighting the importance of holding public figures accountable.

Others, however, question his position to criticize, given his own history of controversial behavior. This discourse reflects a broader societal debate on morality, accountability, and the responsibilities of those in positions of influence.

The scandal involving Engonga has prompted discussions about the ethical standards expected of public officials and the consequences of personal misconduct on professional roles.

Nigerian rapper, Eva Alordiah recently commented on the issue of marital dissatisfaction, stating that many married women were not being sexually fulfilled by their husbands.

Her statement came in the wake of a scandal involving a leaked tape of Baltasar Ebang Engonga, Equatorial Guinea’s finance chief, engaging with several women, including numerous married ones.

Eva highlighted that the sexual dissatisfaction many women experience in their marriages could lead some to seek fulfillment outside their relationships.

Eva stressed that most men do not recognize or address this issue, further exacerbating the situation.

She said: “So when are we going to finally talk about the fact that so many women are facing brutal S3xual dissatisfaction in their marriages, and most men do not even care to learn why or how to help?
“A well-loved and deeply f3cked woman is a happy woman who will not stray”.

Her statement led to series of remarks on social media, with one fan arguing that cheating is a matter of personal character, independent of sexual satisfaction.

The fan tweeted: “This is like saying a well f3cked man will never cheat on his woman.
“A cheat is a cheat. If you like f3ck every day for 5 hours. They will still find a way to cheat”.

Eva responded by acknowledging that while cheating can indeed stem from individual traits, she clarified that women and men typically cheat for different reasons.
She wrote: “A cheat is a cheat. This is true. Womën and men cheat for completely different reasons, do you know that?”
