Nigerian TikTok sensation Victor Babatunde, popularly known as ‘Geh Geh,’ has taken the internet by storm, amassing a staggering $30,000 in a single viral live session on the platform.
The 24-year-old content creator, celebrated for his humorous skits and relatable commentary on Nigerian life, captivated thousands of viewers during a three-hour livestream, sparking a frenzy of gifts and donations from fans worldwide.
The live session, which took place on August 20, 2025, saw ‘Geh Geh’ engaging his audience with his signature blend of comedy, dance, and witty banter.
Fans showered him with virtual gifts, including TikTok’s coveted “Lion” gift, worth $400 each, contributing to his massive earnings.
“I was just vibing, doing my thing, and the love from my people was overwhelming,” Geh Geh told The Nation. “I didn’t expect this, but I’m grateful for every single supporter.”
Geh Geh’s rise reflects the growing influence of Nigeria’s digital content creation industry, which Speaker of the House Abbas Tajudeen recently noted could generate 2.7 million jobs by the end of 2025.
His success mirrors the path of other Nigerian creators leveraging platforms like TikTok to build global audiences.
The Lagos-born creator, who started posting in 2022, now boasts over 1.5 million followers, with his skits on local culture and street life resonating widely.
However, Geh Geh’s windfall has sparked discussions about the sustainability of such earnings and the need for financial literacy among young creators.
Industry experts urge creators to invest wisely, citing the volatile nature of social media fame.
Meanwhile, fans are already anticipating his next move, with many speculating about potential brand deals or a music release, given his recent teases of original songs during live sessions.
As Nigeria’s creative industry continues to thrive, ‘Geh Geh’ stands as a testament to the power of digital platforms in transforming lives and shaping the nation’s entertainment landscape.
