Nigerian financial content creator and social media personality GehGeh has sparked widespread reactions after making controversial comments about women and relationships in a viral video circulating online.
Speaking during what appeared to be a podcast discussion, GehGeh said he has no problem with relationships but criticised women who enter them primarily to improve their financial situation.
Controversial Relationship Comment
In the viral clip, GehGeh said, “I’m not against relationships, I’m against the women that use relationships to escape poverty.”
The social media personality argued that relationships should be built on genuine partnership rather than financial dependence, stressing that both parties should contribute to the growth of the union.
Throughout the discussion, he spoke about loyalty, investment and the dangers of one-sided financial support, maintaining that relationships based solely on material benefits rarely last.
Video Divides Social Media Users
The comments quickly generated debate across social media platforms, with users expressing differing opinions.
Some agreed with GehGeh’s position, saying relationships should be based on mutual support and shared responsibility rather than financial gain.
Others, however, accused him of making sweeping generalisations and ignoring the economic realities facing many young Nigerians.
