So many olodos defending their kind here, since when did foolishness = content
Aki n Pawpaw did content for sooo many years. Have you heard them speak? Do they sound foolish to you?
If you think you have to be a fool to give nice content, you know what that makes you.
@virtuousii The term “olodo”is a trigger word to many
They see people like peller and caterefes’ success as consolation for their failure in the academic space, little do they know that academic performance is not necessarily an indicator of intelligence
So they defend with all their might
This is exactly what we're talking about. The olodos don't even know they're one.
Nobody is saying Peller isn't successful.
The question is simple, if you take away the money, followers, and popularity, what exactly is he knowledgeable about?
The moment you question someone's intelligence, people start mentioning his bank account.
Money can make you successful.
It cannot automatically make you informed, educated, or intelligent.
The fact that some of you think “he made money” automatically ends every conversation is exactly the problem.
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.
This argument is built on exceptions, not evidence. For every Ronaldo or Wizkid, there are millions whose lives would have been better with access to quality education. School isn't the only route to success, but it's the safest and most accessible path for the majority.
And let's stop pretending football isn't an intellectual profession. Modern football is highly academic. Players study tactics, analyse opponents, understand positional play, nutrition, sports science, psychology, and data analytics. When Messi moved to France, he had to learn French to communicate and integrate. Football clubs are like universities they educate players every single day, even if it's not in a traditional classroom.
Success isn't about avoiding education; it's about continuous learning. The world's best athletes never stop learning, so why should anyone glorify ignorance? Talent may open the door, but knowledge keeps you at the top.
When I started trying to encourage young lawyers with my small wins below 5 years post call they turned it into “she is always bragging about her old car”, “she is not even that rich” (as if I ever said I am a billionaire) but they will find motivation from tiktokers who insult degree holders especially lawyers.
Back in the day my motivation was seeing seniors buying Camry at young ages. Seeing seniors renting good homes (like the one I’ve been managing) but today having a 2008 Benz as a young lawyer below 5 years post call and being proud of it is seen as bragging and I am rather insulted for affording an old Benz and maintaining it for years (when they are still trekking and using korope) but Peller insulting degree holders is the icon young lawyers want to emulate.
Even having a bike back then as a young lawyer below 5 years post call was something that inspired us to work hard as law students but nowadays their inspiration comes from TikTok and you who tries using your small wins you’re broke shamed because your car no be 2025 version like TikTokers.
Ycee, you call am 'Peller culture' and 'Olodo Uprising' like say streaming na problem😂 Baba, Peller don cross 1 BILLION NAIRA net worth!
Weekly ~20M, monthly ~100M Naira from lives + brands. One live fit pull $100k+ in gifts. You say "get your coins... but not sustainable."
Oga, the bag don already sustain am pass some artists wey still dey beg! Naija government fail school and jobs, but one boy take phone turn am to empire. Instead of shading, use your "intelligence" push better content. Next time check the bag before you drop that trash. Peller culture dey win. Adapt or keep crying 😭🤑💰
You're still missing the point.
No one is criticizing the process, so it wouldn’t matter whether Peller has a formal degree or not.
It is about what we model as value as a society, because that defines us as a people.
In Peller’s case, we are celebrating crude mediocrity, and it’s not just him. A group like him now believes performative foolery is socially and financially rewarding.
The reciprocity their tasteless antics enjoy from the masses of Nigerians signals that we implicitly define ourselves by these things.
That’s what we are criticizing. We are saying our society has no meaningful posterity if what we glorify is the morbid staged mediocrity displayed by people like Peller, Portable, Egungun, Ayilola, etc.
You mentioned Mr. Beast. That’s a bad comparison. Mr. Beast is an entrepreneur with companies under his brand.
Peller invited master’s degree holders just to mock them.
A society is the estimate of what it celebrates. Right now, we are celebrating online mental depravity like we haven’t before.
MrBeast didn't go to college. Logan Paul dropped out of school. David Dobrik didn't even attend college.
Today, we celebrate these people and rate them highly. But when it comes to our own Peller, that's when some of you start calling him an uneducated fellow or an "olodo" content creator.
Let me be very honest: many of you are simply jealous of that boy. The truth is that some people with PhDs cannot even achieve a fraction of what he has accomplished.
Success is not determined solely by formal education. Talent, hard work, consistency, and creativity also matter.
That rubbish mentality needs to stop.
I have things I wanted to say. But, I will respect the dead (if true). But some of your claims here are outrageous bro. If you're doing this for clout, then you're a useless person.
One reason I didn’t engage this tweet is because the tweet seems more like engagement farming than truth.
In forensic psychology and credibility analysis, there is a concept called contextual embedding. When a person experiences a genuine crisis or a sudden shock, their brain naturally fixates on concrete, specific details.
They want accountability, so they name the specific hospital, the specific state, and the people involved. Real grief is heavy and it targets the source of the pain.
This story is completely unanchored. If you truly spent three hours on the phone in a panic while your friend was being shuttled between helpless facilities, those names would be burned into your mind and you would scream them out to warn others.
Keeping everything generic is a tactical choice. It allows anyone from any part of the country to project their own anger onto the post, which drives up our collective frustrations for numbers.
Let’s be truth in our dealings.
@AladejanaDeji he is lying! he is a liar! disgusting human beings
nigeria's problems isn't its leaders, it is its people. if that one becomes president, do you actually think he won't be just as bad as the current one?
So this guy managed to post this at 8:07pm while on the phone with his friend who died between 8pm and 9:23pm when he posted 😂
Let’s even say that’s possible (it’s not). You claimed the guy called you at 4pm. You went to about 2 different hospitals, let’s say you spent 30 minutes each (including transport time)at both hospitals,then he was moved for a 5-hour trip and died 3 hours into the journey.
That means he died between 8pm and 9:23pm when you posted this. Yet you posted about Ronaldo right after your “friend” died? You were on call with him throughout the journey, telling them how to take care of him, yet you managed to watch Messi and post about football while trying to save your friend 😂
Make una sha calm down dey lie.
