A young Nigerian content creator popularly known as “Geh Geh” has set social media abuzz after his TikTok live session on Thursday pulled in a staggering 177,000 viewers and reportedly earned him gifts valued at over $30,000.
Geh Geh, who runs an online platform he calls the “University of Wisdom and Understanding,” has gained popularity for his unconventional advice to men on relationships and finances. His humorous and often controversial style has made him a standout figure in Nigeria’s fast-growing digital space.
Reacting after the live session, Geh Geh expressed shock at the overwhelming support.
“More than 177,000 people watched my lectures today. Jesus! University of wisdom and understanding, the only university where once you graduate, woman go fear to ask you for money,” he said.
Describing himself as the “first illiterate to find a university in the history of Nigeria,” Geh Geh reflected on his unlikely rise to fame, saying, “I no be graduate too, but by the grace of God, I don find school. I be orphan, but now Nigerians don show me love.”
According to him, the gifts received during the live were worth approximately $30,000, a feat he described as life-changing.
“See gift I made over… more gift when they give me today is worth about $30,000. I no go take this love for granted, because I no really do anything for am,” he said in a follow-up video after the live became a hit.
The viral moment has been hailed by many as a form of digital empowerment, proof that even those without formal education can leverage social media to build influence, create entertainment, and earn a living.
While his controversial teachings on money and women have sparked debates online, his story is now being seen as an inspiration to underprivileged youths.
Reflecting on the overwhelming support, he added,.: “If Nigeria be country wey value great people, by now them suppose dey compare people like me with Aristotle, Wole Soyinka, Einstein… but I thank God say people dey see my head and my own difference.”
His followers, now calling themselves “students” of the Geh Geh University, continue to grow, raising questions about how social platforms are redefining fame and success in Nigeria.
