How Geh Geh went viral and built a loyal fan base online

Geh Geh’s charm comes from the way he delivers his content. Even though he says he lacks formal schooling, he refers to his sessions as “lectures” aimed to guide men dealing with money and relationship troubles. He has even called himself “the first illiterate to find a university in the history of Nigeria,” a bold comment that reflects his unique background and the unusual setup of his online platform.

He stated that the gifts from the live session had a transformative impact, emphasizing,

“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.”

Even though a few of his views about women and money faced backlash, many see his story as one about bouncing back and reinventing oneself. Fans online call his journey a sign of how people from disadvantaged backgrounds can use the digital age to get noticed in new ways.

As his audience grows, a lot of his fans now call themselves “students” of the Geh Geh University. The viral buzz has put him on a growing list of African creators who are changing how fame and influence work on online platforms.

Looking back at his surprising rise, Geh Geh said he feels thankful for the support and wants to keep connecting with his followers.
