“Talking Stage Na Interview Wise Girls Dey Organize For Foolish Men” — Geh Geh Drops Another Hot Take
Self-styled relationship and finance coach Geh Geh is back at it, dropping another quotable one-liner that’s got timelines buzzing. This time, his target is the modern “talking stage” and according to him, it’s less about romance and more about strategic screening.
What He Actually Said
Geh Geh’s latest take frames the entire concept of a “talking stage” that pre-relationship phase where two people are getting to know each other before committing as nothing more than a job interview that wise women organize specifically to filter out foolish men. It’s classic Geh Geh: blunt, a little provocative, and engineered to spark exactly the kind of debate that’s made him one of Nigeria’s most talked-about online relationship commentators.
This Fits His Brand Perfectly
For anyone who’s followed Geh Geh’s rise, this latest comment is very much on brand. The content creator, real name Emmanuel Obruste, has built an entire online platform he calls the “University of Wisdom and Understanding,” where he positions himself as a financial and relationship coach specifically for men, amassing a following of tens of thousands who tune in for his often controversial takes on dating, marriage, and money.
He’s made similar headline-grabbing statements before. Around the New Year, he went viral for arguing that relationships only last when women invest their own time, effort, or money into them, rather than relying entirely on men’s spending a comment that drew cheers from men sharing their own stories of financial heartbreak, and pushback from critics who called it a thinly veiled excuse for being broke. More recently, he doubled down on his core philosophy in an interview, laying out what he calls the principles of his “university”: don’t sponsor a woman’s education, don’t fund her business, and instead seek out a partner whose financial standing already matches your own.
Not Everyone’s a Fan
Geh Geh’s commentary style has consistently drawn accusations that he encourages men to view women with suspicion or outright dislike. He’s pushed back on this characterization before, publicly insisting on social media that discussing women’s behaviour in relationships doesn’t mean he hates them, and defending his platform as giving practical, common-sense advice rather than promoting hostility between the sexes.
Whether you see his “talking stage” comment as a sharp, funny observation about modern dating dynamics or just another example of his signature brand of relationship cynicism, one thing’s certain it’s exactly the kind of soundbite built to travel fast across Nigerian social media.
Wahala Network Take
