I owe myself the deepest apology,
for allowing someone to disturb my peace and take me for granted. I stayed too long, gave too much, and ignored the way it was hurting me. I kept being understanding even when my feelings were not considered. I stayed quiet to keep the peace while slowly losing my own. I made excuses for people who kept disappointing me. But I'm finally learning that my peace matters too. I shouldn't have to beg for care, effort, or respect. Choosing myself doesn't make me selfish. Walking away from what hurts me doesn't make me cold. I deserve people who value me the same way I value them. From now on, I want to protect my heart, my energy, and my peace more.
When you hurt someone and maintain a relationship with that person, they may bring it up again. They may need more clarity. Even if you have apologized, they may bring it up. And when that happens, it is on YOU to be patient and have a discussion about it. If you hurt that person, it's not up to you to tell them when and how to heal. If you are truly sorry and care about them, you gotta deal with those uncomfortable feelings about how they're still hurting over something. These are the consequences of your actions.
some of you have never gone through multiple ego deaths, or been dealt thoroughly with by grief. that’s why you think you’re indispensable.
you need to understand that there are people who are not scared of losing you.
just try man. nothing here really matters so just try. try it just to see how far you can go. nobody cares if you fail. that's literally the point. to try. just tryyyyyyyy
TO DADDY FREEZE, KOKOPEE, NEDU, NEOOFFICIAL, SHOLA AND OTHERS DEFENDING PELLER.
Let us stop being INTELLECTUALLY DISHONEST.
Nobody would come for Peller if he simply faced his TIKTOK, did his SKITS, made his MONEY and moved on.
Nobody is angry that he is POPULAR.
Nobody is angry that he is making MONEY.
Nobody is angry that he did not go to the UNIVERSITY.
The problem is that he deliberately started insulting EDUCATED PEOPLE.
He started mocking GRADUATES.
He started humiliating people with MASTER’S DEGREES.
He started laughing at CIVIL SERVANTS.
He started making it look like going to SCHOOL is a waste because Nigeria is dysfunctional enough to underpay EDUCATED PEOPLE.
That is where the problem started.
PELLER INITIATED THE ATTACK.
So stop pretending people woke up one morning and started attacking him for no reason.
He called MASTER’S DEGREE holders for interviews and humiliated them.
Daddy Freeze, I am sure you have worked for people before.
How would you feel if your EMPLOYER invited you for an interview, not to assess you fairly, but to INSULT you and use your condition for CONTENT?
Would you call that COMEDY?
Would you call that SURVIVAL?
Would you clap for it?
That is what this young man has been doing.
And instead of telling him the TRUTH, some of you are massaging his EGO.
Kokopee, Peller is not the first person who did not go to UNIVERSITY and still became successful.
Cosmas Maduka did not follow the conventional university path, but he built COSCHARIS.
Razaq Okoya did not follow the conventional academic path, but he built ELEGANZA.
Innocent Chukwuma of Innoson did not go through university, but he built a serious MANUFACTURING BRAND.
Cletus Ibeto started from BUSINESS and APPRENTICESHIP before building the IBETO GROUP.
How many times have you seen these people gather GRADUATES to humiliate them?
How many times have you seen them mock TEACHERS?
How many times have you seen them insult CIVIL SERVANTS?
How many times have you seen them laugh at MASTER’S HOLDERS and PhD holders?
They did not do that because WISE PEOPLE respect KNOWLEDGE.
Wise people who did not go far in school do not mock EDUCATION.
They understand that society cannot function without TRAINED MINDS.
So Peller should calm down.
He is not the first person to make money without UNIVERSITY.
He is not the first person to survive outside the CLASSROOM.
He is not the first person to become popular without a DEGREE.
But he is choosing to use his own VISIBILITY to insult people who chose a different path.
That is WRONG.
Kokopee, when you say “create something wey work,” create with what?
With which TECHNOLOGY?
The same technology Peller mocks?
The PHONE he uses.
The INTERNET that carries his videos.
The APPS that made him popular.
The CAMERA.
The MICROPHONE.
The BANK APPS.
The PLATFORMS.
All of them came from systems of KNOWLEDGE, RESEARCH, ENGINEERING, SOFTWARE, DESIGN and serious LEARNING.
Do you know how many NIGERIAN STUDENTS can create better things if they are properly FUNDED?
Do you know how many GRADUATES can build serious technology if the system gives them the RESOURCES, LABORATORIES, GRANTS, MENTORSHIP and OPPORTUNITIES they need?
Why is Peller mocking people because a DYSFUNCTIONAL COUNTRY failed to support them properly?
That is not WISDOM.
That is IGNORANCE enjoying government failure.
Kokopee kept mentioning KAI CENAT and ISHOWSPEED.
How many times have you seen Kai Cenat insult people who went to SCHOOL?
How many times have you seen IShowSpeed gather GRADUATES to humiliate them?
They do their CONTENT and move.
They entertain.
They build their AUDIENCE.
They are not constantly trying to prove that EDUCATION is useless.
So why is Peller’s own confidence tied to disrespecting EDUCATED PEOPLE?
That is the question.
Shola, tell him the TRUTH.
Tell him to stop insulting GRADUATES.
Tell him he is not better than them.
Also, education and intelligence aren’t the same thing. There are thoughtful people who never had much access to school, and there are highly educated people who confidently spread nonsense 😂
You won’t understand how dangerous the olodo pandemic is until it starts showing up in professions where competence is the difference between life and death.
What Ycee did in this “olodo uprising” conversation is simply the use of synecdoche.
A figure of speech where a part represents the whole, or the whole represents a part.
Was he wrong to use Peller as a representative of the “olodo” population? Maybe.
But the representative sampled is still a subset of the larger problem.
And it boils down to our collective mindset as a society, where money is the ultimate yardstick for determining value.
We platform niche nuisances and reward them with social currency for being themselves.
When you speak against them, you hear lines like:
“But i get money pass you”
“They’re richer than you and I.”
Eventually, these nuisances become the accepted standard by which value is measured.
Nothing destroys a society faster than elevating mediocrity to a position of authority.
Just look at what we have in Aso Rock right now.
We are all olodos in uprising.
Olodo core.
Phyna won Bbnaija, but Adekunle was the boring gossiper.
Imisi won last year over people like Faith, Sultana and the likes.
Peller has more followers than most intelligent creators.
‘Twitter is toxic’, but Instagram is more fun cause you constantly have enough videos and photos unlike Twitter where you have to read.
‘Tinubu is trying his best and it’s not his fault that the country is the way it is’.
‘Lagos is not smelling, you only have to come out of your house and take care of your environment’.
The list goes on and on.
