Ghanaian musician Mzbel and fashion critic Charlie Dior have reacted strongly to Apostle Solomon Oduro’s recent official statement regarding the dissolution of his marriage to Rev. (Counselor) Charlotte Oduro after three years of separation.
The couple, who were once celebrated as marriage counsellors, have faced public scrutiny since their split which was announced on February 10, 2025, with many questioning the credibility of their marital advice.
In reaction to the news, Mzbel took to social media with a sarcastic jab, writing, “When the marriage councillors’ marriage is not marriaging… lol.”
Charlie Dior, on the other hand, expressed deeper concerns about the content of Reverend Oduro’s teachings.
In a detailed post, Dior criticized the one-sided nature of his advice, which often places the burden of maintaining a marriage on women.
According to her, marriage should be a partnership, with both parties equally responsible for its success.
“I really dislike how she speaks with such authority about what women need to do in marriage, as if there’s a one-size-fits-all formula.
“It’s always about how women should behave, what they should tolerate, and how they should cater to their husbands, but there’s barely any accountability or guidance directed at men”, Dior added.
The critic argued that such teachings reinforce outdated gender roles and place unnecessary pressure on women, calling for more balanced and realistic conversations about marriage in 2025.
Apostle Solomon Oduro, General Overseer of the Royal Victory Family Church, officially announced the dissolution of his marriage to Rev. Charlotte Oduro, a well-known marriage counselor, after three years of separation.
In a statement released on February 10, 2025, Apostle Oduro cited irreconcilable differences and emphasized that the decision followed extensive efforts to reconcile.
He appealed for public understanding and prayers while reaffirming his commitment to his ministry.
Rev. Charlotte Oduro, who has yet to comment, has come under criticism over the irony of her divorce despite her role as a marriage counsellor.
The announcement has sparked widespread debate, with many questioning the credibility of public figures offering marital advice while facing personal challenges.
