“Men Are Doing Women a Favour by Marrying Them” — Gehgeh Sparks Debate with Controversial Statement
Popular social media personality Gehgeh has set the internet abuzz with her latest controversial take, claiming that men are doing women a favour by marrying them. Her statement, which quickly went viral, has sparked massive debate among fans and gender equality advocates, with many accusing her of promoting outdated and patriarchal views.
In a video making rounds online, Gehgeh asserted that most women gain more from marriage than men, arguing that “many women see marriage as a financial escape or a social upgrade.” According to her, men bear the heavier responsibility in relationships — from paying bills to providing long-term stability — and thus deserve more recognition for taking the step to marry.
While some social media users agreed with Gehgeh’s perspective, others sharply disagreed, stating that marriage is a mutual partnership, not a favour. The heated exchange has since dominated online discussions, especially among Nigerian youth, with topics like gender roles, marriage expectations, and societal pressure trending across multiple platforms.
Gehgeh, known for her bold and often divisive opinions, has yet to respond to the growing backlash. However, her statement has once again highlighted how conversations around marriage and gender dynamics continue to polarize audiences across social media in 2025.
