A young Nigerian TikTok sensation popularly known as “Geh Geh” has become an internet phenomenon after his live session on Thursday pulled in over 177,000 viewers and earned him gifts estimated at $30,000.
The self-styled founder of the “University of Wisdom and Understanding” has gained popularity with his unorthodox advice to men on money and relationships. Despite lacking formal education, Geh Geh proudly describes himself as the “first illiterate to establish a university in Nigeria.”
In a video reflecting on his success, he said:
“More than 177,000 people watch my lectures today… University of wisdom and understanding, the only university where once you graduate, woman go fear to ask you for money.”
He added that his rise from orphanhood to nationwide recognition was nothing short of miraculous, saying Nigerians had shown him overwhelming love.
Geh Geh’s fans, now calling themselves his “students,” see his story as a symbol of digital empowerment—proof that even without academic qualifications, social media can create new pathways to fame, influence, and financial independence.
While his outspoken views on women and money have stirred debates, his supporters hail him as an inspiration for disadvantaged youths.
Comparing himself to global thinkers, he declared:
“If Nigeria be country wey value great people, by now them suppose dey compare people like me with Aristotle, Wole Soyinka, Einstein.”
His growing influence has sparked wider conversations about how platforms like TikTok are reshaping the meaning of success in Nigeria’s digital age.
