This is how 17 year olds used to hold conversations.
What 17 year old? Fuck that. What 30 year old is this articulate in today's Nigeria?
For far too long, we've allowed olodos to be the loudest in the rooms.
We have a real chance to push back now. We will milk it.
"God can't become a man."
That was one of my first objections as a Muslim.
I thought I was defending God's greatness.
In reality, I was limiting Him.
Think about it.
God can create a universe out of nothing.
Split the sea.
Raise the dead.
Form Adam from dust.
But becoming a man?
That's where we draw the line?
The issue was never that God couldn't do it.
The issue was that I couldn't accept that He loved us enough to.
Because if God became man, then He didn't stay distant.
He stepped into the dirt.
Into the suffering.
Into the blood.
That's not weakness.
That's authority wearing flesh.
That's glory with a heartbeat.
And when I finally cried out, "God, if You're real, show me who You are," I wasn't met by a God far away.
I met a Savior with scars.
A God holy enough to judge sin, yet loving enough to enter our world and carry it Himself.
Emmanuel doesn't mean "God far off."
It means "God with us."
And He is still alive.
God bless YCEE for amplifying this “OLODO UPRISING” for us. We need to stop making stupid people famous. We consume content from illiterates and people who are mentally deranged that will attribute criticism to being broke.
I've not seen it yet but I can bet my left testicle - someone somewhere is tweeting about Ycee's projected networth and how Peller is 20x richer than Ycee so Ycee is jealous.
I am sure.
A culturally bankrupt society whose source of validation comes from asslicking the wealthy.
No Ideological compass. No guiding principle. No strength. Just "I get money pass you".
A congregation of fools, from whence no progress is in sight.
You know why sane societies thrive out here? Because people don't fucking care what you have.
The concept of human dignity exists. Even the poor will stand tall in the face of the wealthy and battle opinion for opinion.
Phones are merely for calls. Cars are merely for transportation. Not status symbols.
Until the day you decentre ranking people and prioritising their opinions based on the depths of their pockets - you will always be bottom feeders.
The whole ycee conversation wasn't about Peller but about a systemic degradation of our education.
I would expect everyone arguing, dropping think pieces & setting camera to have picked up on that.
No surprise that the uprisen olodos are proving the point of olodo uprising.
Guys, I have retrieved my ₦100,000 from those lawless group of officers.

How cars went from 3 million to 9 million.
Phones went from 300k plus to millions of Naira.
Rent for a 3 bedroom flat in central
mainland went from 1.5million to 5 million annually.
All this in the span of 3 years, and you’re saying we should vote for the same man who made all this so?
It’s like you’re m@d.
