Tanzanian self-proclaimed billionaire and social media influencer Godlove Mwakibete, popularly known as Chief Godlove, has issued a sharp warning to women against attaching themselves to men who depend on betting as their primary means of survival.
In an Instagram post shared on Monday, April 14, 2025, Godlove, who posted a video of himself braiding a woman’s hair, lamented that men have become deeply entangled in petty, unreliable ways of earning a living and warned ladies to steer clear of such men entirely.
According to the 28-year-old, women should align themselves with men who have clear, sustainable sources of income, emphasising that women have numerous self-maintenance needs—such as hairstyling and personal grooming—that demand a consistent and dependable financial base.
“Hakupi hela sijui ya saluni sijui ya kufanya kucha, hakupi hela ya kodi, yaani, hela yoyote hakupi. Mpaka unajiweka amatuta kwenye kichwa—jua kabisa unatembea na chuma ulete—huyo sio mwanaume kwa kabisa. Unaelewa? Mwanamke unatakiwa kuwa na nywele safi, upendeze, uwake. Usiniletee hapa; mwanaume hana hela, mwanaume anayeishi kwa kubeti.”
Godlove, who recently went viral after engaging in a spat with Kenyan forex trader Kenyan Prince, went on to express disbelief that some men now boldly tout gambling as a legitimate career.
He revealed that he had encountered several men who confidently declared themselves full-time gamblers, proudly thumping their chests as if betting was an honourable profession. He cautioned women to be extremely vigilant before tying themselves to such characters.
“Ati ukimuuliza anafanya nini, anasema ati yeye anabeti. Na hakupi hela. Huo ni uhangaikaji, na mimi siutaki. Mwanaume lazima aweze kujimudu—sio yule ambaye anategemea pesa za bahati nasibu. Anaanza kubeti, aende casino, akope, aombe.”
Queer Warning
Taking his argument further, Godlove linked this reliance on shaky, hand-to-mouth lifestyles—such as betting—to what he sees as the root cause behind a growing number of men resorting to begging and eventually becoming queer, not necessarily by orientation but by behaviour mimicking dependency often associated with women.
He criticised such men for constantly borrowing, even stooping so low as to beg for drinks at clubs, and insisted that this sort of conduct often marks the starting point of a man losing his masculine footing.
On that note, he also cautioned women to be highly alert and avoid entangling themselves with men who have a tendency to beg, warning that one day they may wake up to the shock of discovering that their lawfully wedded husbands are secretly interested in fellow men—having failed to break free from their dependence on gambling.
“Wanaume wengi mjini wanageuka kuwa wanawake kwa sababu ya huo uombaji. Wanageuka mashoga kwa kupenda kuomba. Usishtuke kuwa unafikiria umeolewa na mwanaume kumbe umeolewa na mwanamke. Anatoka huko nje, anaenda anaomba kila kitu—mpaka hata pombe kwenye baa. Usiniletee hao watoto wa mjini ambao wakienda huko mjini wanabembelezwa pombe kabisa. La hasha, mimi sitaki hivyo.”
Advice to Men
Godlove’s message comes just two weeks after he delivered a similarly candid piece of advice to men, urging them not to spend money on every woman who comes their way.
He emphasised that men should refrain from sleeping with every woman they meet, insisting that such behaviour is often the leading cause of financial struggle among men—adding that women should be quick to walk away once they realise a man isn’t spending money on them, because according to him, if he isn’t spending, then he isn’t yours.
Furthermore, Godlove explained that this exact mindset had contributed significantly to his success in life, stressing that men must sober up and stop carelessly handing out money to women, warning that this reckless generosity would only land them in serious trouble.
“Huwezi kuwa unahudumia kila mwanamke unayepatana naye. Mwanaume mwenye akili timamu atakaa na mwanamke mmoja. Huyo ulienaye kama hakuhudumii, tafuta wako—huyo si wako. Wanaume ambao wamenufaika hawatoi pesa kila mahali.”
