Nigerian comic actor Bishop ‘Okon’ Umeh has shared a funny but serious warning for men. In a recent video, he asked a bold question: “Do you want to outshine God?” This message was part of his advice to men who go too far trying to make women happy.
“One of the 48 laws of power is that you should not try to outshine your master.”
In a viral TikTok video, Okon told men not to lose themselves while trying to satisfy women. He compared it to competing with God, saying it’s impossible to meet every single need or desire. His message was both humorous and thought-provoking.
He also talked about the many beauty changes women make. From makeup to hair and body enhancements, Okon pointed out that these constant changes may show a feeling of dissatisfaction. He advised men not to wear themselves out trying to keep up or impress, as the goalposts are always shifting.
“If the hair is coily, they stretch it. If it’s straight, they curl it.
If it’s black, they dye it white. If it’s white, they dye it black — sometimes pink.
Eyebrows? Natural o, they shave am, draw another one.
Eyelashes? Fix on top the one wey God give them.
Thin lips? Surgery. Big breast? Reduction.
Small breast? Implant. No nyash? Implant. Big nyash? Reduction.
Black skin? Bleaching cream. Fair skin? Sun tanning.”
He ended the video with:
“If God wey create them never satisfy them, how much more you, ordinary person? You wan out do God? You dey try outshine your master? You dey set yourself up for destruction.”
His message sparked lots of reactions online, with many people agreeing and sharing their thoughts. While Okon’s style is always funny, this message had a deeper meaning about self-worth, balance, and understanding in relationships.
