Delta State Governor’s aide, Ossai Ovie Success, has stirred reactions online after expressing disappointment over the speed of Peller and Jarvis’ marriage while hoping the newlyweds signed a prenuptial agreement before tying the knot.
In a post shared on social media, Ossai congratulated the couple but said he was concerned about how quickly the marriage happened, given their fame, wealth and online influence. According to him, a prenup is not about planning for divorce but about protecting both parties and preventing future disputes over assets, businesses and brand deals.
He wrote, “I hope Peller and Jarvis signed a prenup before getting married. Congratulations to them, but I am disappointed… Marriage is sweet, but marriage + money + fame + internet? That one needs wisdom.” He added that, “Signing a prenup doesn’t mean you’re planning divorce. It means you’re planning the marriage like adults.”
The post comes shortly after Peller and Jarvis officially exchanged vows in a court wedding in Ikoyi, with their traditional and white wedding ceremonies expected to follow later this week.
The remarks have since generated mixed reactions online, with some agreeing that a prenup is a sensible step for public figures, while others questioned why Ossai described himself as “disappointed.”
