Financial expert and social media personality, Geh Geh, has sparked controversy online with his recent relationship advice for young men, urging them to end their relationships and focus on personal growth instead. His remarks, which were shared in a viral TikTok video, have since generated mixed reactions from netizens.
Geh Geh, who frequently shares financial and lifestyle advice on his social media platforms, took to his TikTok page to express his views on why young men should avoid being in romantic relationships, particularly those where they are expected to bear financial responsibilities for their partners.
According to him, relationships are often financially draining for men, as they end up footing most of their girlfriend’s bills, which he believes is an unnecessary burden. He argued that a woman’s financial needs should be taken care of by her father, not her boyfriend. Geh Geh further suggested that men should shift their focus from dating to personal development, career advancement, and financial stability.
“You don’t need a girlfriend,” he declared. “If you be young boy wey dey watch this, dump that your girlfriend and focus on your life. Years from now you go understand why I dey make videos like this. Boyfriend na title wey mumu boys dey answer just to pay bills for lazy girls. You dey allow one small girl call you ‘boyfriend’ just to lure you into carrying responsibilities wey belong to her father. If you see the way the world dey go now, what is the point of a relationship?”
His statement quickly went viral, with many agreeing with his stance, while others criticized him for making generalizations about relationships. The debate has continued across various social media platforms, with people sharing their opinions on whether financial responsibility should be a key factor in romantic relationships.

Many social media users echoed Geh Geh’s sentiments, claiming that modern relationships have become transactional, with men expected to provide financial support in exchange for love and companionship. Others, however, argued that not all relationships are financially exploitative and that a healthy relationship should be based on mutual support and understanding.
The viral video has also ignited discussions about gender roles and financial independence in relationships. Some critics pointed out that while men may bear financial burdens in some relationships, there are also cases where women contribute equally or even take on greater financial responsibility.
As debates continue to rage on, Geh Geh remains steadfast in his position, reiterating that young men should prioritize financial independence, career success, and self-improvement over relationships that could potentially drain them emotionally and financially.
