Geh Geh’s Misleading Claims and the Truth About Women’s Education

    In recent times, public discourse has been shaped by controversial statements from certain influencers, including Geh Geh, who claimed that women are the root of many societal problems. Such a narrative is not only misleading but also dangerous, especially for young people who look up to these voices. History and reality show otherwise: many of the world’s greatest calamities have been caused by men, not women.

    From wars that devastated nations, to oppressive regimes that ruined economies, to crimes that destabilized societies, men have disproportionately been at the forefront of destruction. World Wars I and II were orchestrated and fought largely by men. Dictatorships that plunged nations into poverty and bloodshed were led by men. Even today, corruption scandals, violent crimes, and political unrest are often male-driven. This is not an att*ck on men as a whole but a reality check that dispels the myth Geh Geh tries to propagate.

    On the other hand, evidence strongly supports the idea that educating a girl does far more good than harm. According to UNESCO and multiple development studies, when a girl is given access to education:

    She is more likely to escape poverty and uplift her family.

    Child mortality rates drop because educated mothers make healthier decisions.

    Communities thrive, as educated women contribute to the economy and leadership.

    The cycle of early marriage and dependency is broken, creating stronger, more balanced societies.

    In fact, the African proverb says it best: “If you educate a man, you educate an individual. But if you educate a woman, you educate a nation.”

    The tragedy of Geh Geh’s rhetoric is that it plants seeds of division between genders rather than promoting unity and progress. Our youths deserve to grow up with the understanding that both men and women have roles to play in building a better society, and that education, especially of the girl child, is not a threat but a blessing.

    Rather than misleading the youths with biased claims, influencers like Geh Geh should focus on using their platforms to inspire responsibility, respect, and equity. Our world has suffered enough from ignorance; it is time we embrace truth and empower both boys and girls with education and opportunities.
