TG Omori sparks debate with cryptic post
Nigerian film director ThankGod Omori Jesam, popularly known as TG Omori, has sparked a heated debate on social media with his recent tweet about the type of women society promotes.
According to TG Omori, society tends to celebrate women who lack intellectual depth, prioritizing those who provide “viewers’ pleasure” over those with substance.
His tweet on Friday, May 31, 2024, which has garnered massive reactions from fans and social media users, reads: “Society is now promoting more dumb women than the intellectual ones for viewers’ pleasure.” Many have interpreted his statement as a commentary on the superficiality of societal standards, which often prioritize physical appearance over intellectual merit.
While some have agreed with TG Omori’s sentiment, others have disagreed, arguing that intelligence is not solely defined by academic achievements. The discussion has highlighted differing views on what society values in women and the balance between physical appearance and intellectual capabilities.

TG Omori has been featured in the Culture Unwrapped maiden edition of Deeds Magazine as the print’s December/January cover star.
The Boy Director is widely known and renowned for his creative approach to visual storytelling and music video directing, which has won him many gigs with A-list Afrobeats artists and, by extension, an East African act named Elgrande Toto.
The platform announced the maiden edition of its print issues themed “Culture Unwrapped,” with the sensational visual storyteller being the first December/January cover star.
Responding to a question about his journey, challenges, and how he blends his art with fashion, he told Deeds his journey had been a fruitful one. Nonetheless, he is still aiming for the best through his dedication to heralding African culture and telling these stories with his art as a tool.
He said, “It’s been a wonderful journey, working with some of the biggest Afrobeats artists and even other international artists like Jhus, Burna Boy, Davido, Rema, Fireboy, Asake and many others. I think it has just been me creating pure art, growing the culture, trying to tell our own stories, and fusing elements of Afrobeats into the videos. We’re still in the process, still creating and still creating magic. We still dey come, we still dey.”
