Social commentator Geh Geh has publicly criticised Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface for purchasing a Lamborghini reportedly worth ₦400 million at a time when many Nigerians are struggling with insecurity, poverty, and economic hardship across the country.
Geh Geh expressed disappointment and concern that the footballer chose to invest in a luxury vehicle rather than leveraging his influence and financial capacity to address urgent crises affecting people from his home state of Edo, particularly amid rising cases of abduction and other security challenges.
Geh cites recent couple’s abduction
He highlighted the recent abduction of a couple in Edo State, where the kidnappers reportedly demanded a ransom of ₦70 million for their release, as an example of the type of emergency that could have benefitted from public support from prominent individuals like Boniface.
Geh Geh says Victor should help
According to Geh Geh, Boniface’s financial capacity and influence in Edo State could have been used to support efforts aimed at securing the couple’s release, or to contribute positively to initiatives addressing insecurity in the region. Geh Geh’s critique underscores a wider debate on the social responsibility of public figures and celebrities in times of national distress.
The criticism has sparked a wave of reactions online, with some Nigerians agreeing that celebrities and public figures should demonstrate solidarity and take action in times of crisis, while others argued that individuals cannot be compelled to assume responsibilities that legally fall under the government’s mandate.[/p>

“Victor Boniface disappointed me for buying a ₦400 million Lamborghini in a time when Nigerians are crying for help. A couple was k!dn@pp3d in Edo State and the k!dn@pp3r$ asked for ₦70 million. Being from the state, Victor Boniface could have stepped in to help.”
Geh Geh’s remarks further underline the ongoing discussion about the role of wealthy and influential Nigerians in addressing societal challenges and the expectation that they use their resources to make a positive impact in communities that are struggling.
