Early Life & Education

Emmanuel Obruste, popularly known as GehGeh, was born into a polygamous family in Warri, Delta State, Nigeria, on May 6, 1995.

Growing up in a modest household, he faced financial hardships that shaped his resilient mindset and later led to his focus on financial education.

His early experiences in a challenging environment, including emotional and physical struggles, instilled a determination to break generational cycles of poverty.

GehGeh often reflects on these formative years as motivation for his success, emphasizing self-reliance and purpose-driven living. He is of Urhobo ethnicity and follows Christianity.

His father, Mr. Obruste, was a teacher (and reportedly a head principal in some accounts), while his mother, Mrs. Obruste, was a farmer. Both parents have passed away—his father earlier in life, and his mother in December 2024.

Their modest professions and large family influenced GehGeh‘s upbringing in an average-income home. His father had 14 children from the polygamous marriage, while his mother had 9 children. GehGeh is the 6th child from his mother’s side and the 8th overall. Tragically, one of his sisters passed away, leaving 8 siblings from his mother, and a stepbrother was killed in a shooting incident.

GehGeh completed his primary education in a local school in Delta State, where Urhobo was the primary language of instruction. He attended secondary school in the same region, where he began teaching others informally, showcasing his early inclination toward education.

He gained admission to a university around 2015 or 2016 but was unable to complete his studies due to his father’s death and resulting financial difficulties. Despite this, GehGeh has since built his own “GehGeh University of Wisdom and Understanding,” an online platform for financial and life coaching.

Career

Emmanuel Obruste, popularly known as GehGeh, launched his career as a content creator in 2020, utilizing platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube to share motivational content and financial advice.

His early content centred on helping people escape financial dependency, resonating strongly with millennials and Gen Z audiences.

By 2020, GehGeh had evolved into a financial coach, offering practical guidance on budgeting, saving, investing, and real estate under the self-proclaimed title “Africa’s Most Experienced Financial Expert” (AMEFE).

His mix of humour, blunt commentary, and controversial takes quickly gained traction, and by 2025, he had amassed more than 2.2 million TikTok followers.

His viral platform, the “GehGeh School of Wisdom,” became a hub for financial education and relationship advice, with one remarkable milestone in August 2025, when over 170,000 students enrolled in a single day—earning him over $30,000 from gifting alone.

Beyond content creation, GehGeh expanded into entrepreneurship with ventures in real estate, a real estate agency, Fastlink Global Exports, and Celebrity Hotels, building diverse income streams. He has also collaborated with brands like Betfuse and PerryPays, which has boosted his influence and revenue in Nigeria’s digital economy.

While his outspoken views on relationships—especially comments about women—have sparked controversy, GehGeh insists his style blends comedy with social commentary. Despite debates, his fanbase continues to grow, cementing his reputation as a bold voice in Nigeria’s financial literacy and entertainment space.
