Online personality Emmanuel Obruste, popularly known as GheGhe, has taken the internet by storm after announcing that he has earned more than $30,000 through his self-styled “University of Wisdom and Understanding,” an unconventional online platform that has drawn massive attention across Nigeria.
The revelation came after a post shared by X (formerly Twitter) user @Olamide0fficial featured a video of GheGhe detailing his remarkable journey. In the video, the content creator expressed gratitude to Nigerians for the overwhelming love and support that propelled him to break records on social media.
According to GheGhe, over 170,000 people tuned in live to watch his TikTok lecture, a feat he described as unprecedented in Nigeria’s social media space.
“Thank you so much Nigerians for the love. More than 170,000 people watched me live on TikTok. They watched my lectures today at GheGhe University of Wisdom and Understanding,” he said proudly.
The eccentric internet star further joked that his “university” was unique because graduates would emerge more confident and less vulnerable to social pressures, particularly from women.
“This is the only university where, when you graduate, women will fear you and hesitate to ask you for money,” he quipped.
Despite admitting that he never obtained a formal degree, GheGhe declared himself “the first illiterate to establish a university in Nigeria,” adding that his journey was proof that one’s background should not limit success.
“I’m not a graduate, but by the grace of God, I founded a school. Nigerians, you love me this much? What did I do to deserve it? I’m an orphan, yet I have a home in Nigeria,” he said emotionally.
Ghe Ghe revealed that the gifts he received during the record-breaking livestream amounted to over $30,000, a sum donated mostly by fans through TikTok’s gifting system.
His unconventional success has sparked mixed reactions online. While some celebrated him as a new-age influencer reshaping digital content creation, others dismissed his antics as mere comedy.
