"GehGeh stop mîsleading young men and making them stîngy. Everybody going to GehGeh's school will de poor." Portable

"GehGeh, you're not as wise as you think. You're just a Stîngy and broke man. What do you think Solomon told 700 women before getting married to them? Do you think Solomon could've had 700 wives if he was stîngy or broke?
I cannot go to GehGeh University because I don't want to end up rich but lonely. GehGeh, e go hard before Woman go give you Totoh because you're stîngy.
Dear men, stop going to GehGeh's School and getting stîngy. As a man, you have the work hard and spend on your woman. Spending on your woman is a sign of love and affection." ~ Portable

If not for GehGeh, we would've never known Portable was a Sîmp 🥲

Saida Boj Attended GehGeh’s class yesterday .

Yesterday over 127k people attended GehGeh’s Class .
We noted some few things .

1) As a young man , you have no business with this urgent 2K girls . Run away .
2 ) A broke girl is dangerous for your finances . They don’t date for love , they date for survival . You are their source of income .

3)A girl’s definition of love is what you can buy for them . They immediately think you don’t love them if you can’t buy them things . Run .
4) Get plenty girlfriends wey no be your girlfriend. You’ll not be attached and you’ll enjoy .
5) Don’t build any woman , let everyone build themselves .
6 ) Don’t let any woman deceive you that she is not following you because of money , they follow you because of what you can offer .
7) A man will date a broke woman and make her a millionaire but a rich woman will quickly ask you if you don’t know your class 😆.
8 ) A woman is not interested in your sad story . She only wants the successful story . If you tell a woman many of your problems she loses interest in you . Focus on yourself .
9) You as a girl don’t have money , how do you expect your age mate who is a boy to have money and care for you ? When you have your father and mother ?
10)Every woman on earth is single depending on who is asking her out . Omo if Chris brown ask your babe out now she go say she no even know you .

Moral lesson : We have a class today again by 4Pm .

Very Rightly so

In 1952 Mbadiwe moved a Motion for Lagos to be removed from the Western Region


It is better for his name to be removed from Lagos instead

okay

ariesbull:
Surulere was once the most prominent urban slum in Nigeria until Kingsley Ozumba Mbadiwe was appointed the Minister of Lands, Surveys, and Natural Resources in January 1954.

He was one of 12 Nigerian ministers in the colonial Council of Ministers in Lagos under the Macpherson constitution arrangement. There were four Ministers from each of the three major parties at the time -NCNC, AG and NPC. The Council was headed by the Governor-General of Nigeria at the time; Sir John Stuart Macpherson and contained five other British ex-officio members.

Mbadiwe convinced the Council that he can clear the unsightly slums in Lagos mainland within his one year tenure. The AG opposed it and staged massive protests which failed to make the Council withdraw the consent already given to Mbadiwe.

He started the Surulere housing estate and within 12 months, he cleared the slums and rehoused all the slum dwellers in the newly built Surulere housing estate. Just like Gwarinpa estate in Abuja, the housing estate started attracting massive developments around the Surulere area.

No minister or governor has been able to replicate this feat in the history of Lagos as the federal capital and now a state in Nigeria.

The likes of Mbadiwe will always be remembered for their unequal contributions to the making of Lagos”.

Orphaned Nigerian TikToker ‘Geh Geh’ goes viral, rakes in $30,000 from one live session

A young Nigerian known as “Geh Geh” has captured the hearts of thousands online after his TikTok live session on Thursday drew an astonishing 177,000 viewers and reportedly earned him gifts worth over $30,000.

The social media personality, who refers to his online platform as the “University of Wisdom and Understanding,” has been making waves with his unconventional approach to advising men on relationships and finances.

In a video he posted after the live session, Geh Geh said, “More than 177,000 people watch my lectures today.

“Jesus! University of wisdom and understanding, the only university where once you graduate, woman go fear to ask you for money.”

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.

To be frank with you, wike tried in the road infrastructures in the FCT

helinues:
I was talking about someone buyinga brand new 2026 car on one thread 2 days ago . It's the same guy. He's not up to 2 years in Canada that he bought the car.

At least his job is paying reasonably

wow, the agent that helped him out really tried

helinues:
Blame your travelling agent. Better agents won't just help you to process your visa, they would also link you with job .

I have a friend who relocated to Canada like a year plus or 2 now, he was first on government payment for like 6 months before securing a job

that's a sure travel agent. You are on point here. Even the #45m he used to process the visa is very much. I'm hopeful the stranded brother will get a tangible job.

malali:
Whether you have a Job or not abroad, the minimum cost of living is $1500/month at the very least.

Can you survive, if it takes you 1 year to get a Job ?

Dont forget, America,UK, Canada have unemployed people.....they have their own citizens looking for jobs.

it's well. Still Nigerians are trooping to develop countries in their hundreds every month.

Nawaoooo, be couple have travelled via students visa

JAPA TO HELL: ‘I sold my father’s house for ₦45 million to relocate to Canada, one year after I’m still jobless”

A former student of Lagos State University (LASU), John Chukwudi, has shared a heartbreaking story about his decision to sell his father’s house for ₦45 million to relocate to Canada.

He revealed that the dire situation in Nigeria, particularly the frustrations caused by the government’s policies and mismanagement, drove him to seek a better life abroad.

The student expressed feelings of desperation and disappointment, highlighting how the challenges of living in Nigeria made them feel that leaving was their only option.

His plea underscores the struggles faced by many young Nigerians who feel compelled to abandon their homes in search of greater opportunities and a more stable future.

After the passing of his father, he made the difficult decision to sell the family home, a beloved residence filled with memories, for a significant sum of ₦45 million.

This money was intended to serve as a foundation for a fresh start in Canada, a country he believed held greater opportunities for his future.

With high hopes and dreams, he embarked on this new journey, imagining a life free from the struggles he faced back in Nigeria.

However, as the weeks turned into months, he found himself grappling with the harsh reality of unemployment in a foreign land. A year has now passed since his arrival, and despite his diligent efforts to secure employment, he remains unemployed.

His frustration is palpable, and the sense of helplessness weighs heavily on him as he navigates the complexities of adapting to a new culture while searching for employment.

As he reflects on the tough decisions he made, the emotional toll of selling his father’s house becomes even more pronounced. He contemplates the sacrifices he endured and is faced with the bitter realization of the steep costs associated with seeking opportunities abroad, questioning whether the gamble he took was worth the outcome.

Attacking the Nigerian government, Chukwudi said: “As a graduate, I was struggling to eat, except I relied on my parent, at a point I was ashamed because everything had to come from my parents. The Nigerian government has put people under unnecessary pressure to take some drastic decisions. I left the country due to bad government nothing else.

“After I graduated from LASU in Lagos, I went back to Enugu to learn fashion deigning profession, after few years I returned back to Lagos but the most annoying thing is that I could not see a good fashion firm to get me employed, but one of my cousins whom I used to sew for told me I would be needed in Canada and I would make more money from what I am doing, I told my parents, he told us how much it will cost me and still told us how many months it will take me to recover such money back if I can take such decisions. My dad took a big gamble to sell his house in Anifowoshe and relocated back to Enugu, hoping that after one year, I should be able to buy new house for him. I am already using 13th month in Canada, I am only doing some useless jobs, unfortunately, my cousin has abandoned me.

Speaking further on how much he sold his father’s bungalow at Anifowoshe, Ikeja-Lagos, he said: “Of course my parent had planned to relocate back to Enugu due to demolition of houses in Lagos, so he took that decision when the Canada opportunity came up and hope that I will buy a bigger house in less than a year after getting to Canada. We sold the house N45,000,000 and we took N40 million to process my Canada relocation in 2024.”
