Self-acclaimed financial coach GehGeh has publicly cautioned Israel DMW after Afrobeats star Davido gifted his longtime logistics manager a brand-new 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. In a video shared on his social media account on November 11, 2026, GehGeh argued that the luxury vehicle, widely reported to be valued around ₦120 million, represents a serious risk rather than pure good fortune for someone whose income comes from employment.
Israel DMW first shared his excitement on social media on November 10. Filming himself with the SUV, he thanked his boss repeatedly.
“Thank you my boss. Brand new prado jeep, 2026. Thank you sir, na man you be,” he said.
He added that he has no regrets about his years working closely with Davido and urged others to “follow who know road, to see road.” He also mentioned heading to church in gratitude for what he called a remarkable blessing.
GehGeh pushed back against the idea that the gift is automatically a blessing.
“That car Davido got for you is a threat to your financial freedom.”
He explained that a logistics manager’s salary is unlikely to comfortably cover the ongoing expenses of such a high-end vehicle, including maintenance, fuel, and insurance.
“They bought you a Prado and you’re proud? They don’t do things like that. You don’t know the difference between an asset and a liability. If anything happens to the car, you won’t be able to pay to get it fixed and it will create financial dependency.”
Drawing on one of his regular principles, he noted that anything a person cannot afford three times over on their own resources turns into a financial burden the moment it is acquired.
He turned to advise Davido on the proper way to gift people.
“Access the current financial situation of who you want to gift before you gift them. Know the difference between what they need and what they want. The way you people gave Israel a woman who almost brought her down is the way you just gave him a 120 million naira car. It’s not nice.”
He closed with a familiar line:
“Had I known is the last comment of a fool.”
The coach framed the message as practical guidance for anyone living on a salary who suddenly receives an expensive gift they cannot independently sustain.
The comments triggered mixed reactions online. Some users supported the call for financial discipline and agreed that high running costs can trap people. Others told GehGeh to mind his business, arguing that loyalty and good relationships sometimes deliver opportunities that salaries alone never could, and that Israel should simply enjoy the reward.
