Ghanaian actor and comedian Stephen Yaw Mawunyo, popularly known as Oteele, has been left in pieces after his estranged wife, Gifty Nana Afriyie, refused to return home following the public confirmation of their split.

Going live on TikTok on Thursday, September 10, 2026, a visibly distressed Oteele opened up about the emotional weight of the separation, questioning whether his wife felt any compassion for him and, more pointedly, for their young daughter.

To keep the peace, Oteele said he has been telling the girl that her mother is away attending to her trading business, hoping the explanation would buy him some time. It hasn't worked.

According to Oteele, the child remains unsatisfied and keeps pushing him to set up a video call with her mother, leaving him with no easy way to sidestep the conversation.

The repeated requests, he said, have made an already painful situation significantly harder to navigate as a single parent.

Gifty Nana Afriyie's public divorce announcement

Oteele's emotional outpouring follows his wife's own TikTok Live session, during which Gifty Nana Afriyie publicly announced that she had divorced the comedian.

Her statement pulled their troubled marriage firmly into the public eye and reignited conversations about the difficulties the couple had been facing.

The situation has since attracted considerable attention on social media, with many Ghanaians weighing in on the breakdown of what had appeared to be a family unit.
