On Tuesday, January 7, 2025, popular media personality and content creator GehGeh made contentious remarks during the latest episode of ‘The Honest Bunch’ podcast, suggesting that Nigerian women now view relationships as a form of employment.
GehGeh advised men to reconsider marriage, arguing that it’s a strategy women employ to drain men’s resources. He elaborated on traditional versus modern marital roles, stating:
“Men should stop marrying because it’s a strategy women used to lure men into wasting their resources. I am Urhobo man.
“My dad got married because, in his era it was women who work for men. Then the man is the king with plenty wives who work for him while he handles the authority and protection.
“The women work in the farm and provide for the men and children. But is it like that nowadays?
“I feel Nigerian women are the worst to date or marry because they date for money.
“They see relationships as a form of employment. They believe their partners have to pay their bills. I’m not ready for that,” he said on Tuesday, January 7, 2025.
His comments have provoked a significant response among older audiences, many of whom might reflect on the changing dynamics of marriage and partnerships in contemporary Nigerian society, contrasting with the more traditional roles of the past.
