The Obasanjo × Isbae U podcast exposed something Nigerians don’t like admitting.

And honestly, the funniest part of the whole conversation may end up being the least important part.

Obasanjo couldn’t recognise Carter Efe, Poco Lee, Don Jazzy and some other names Isbae U threw at him.

Then he basically said: maybe they aren’t “important people.”

That line alone is enough to make Nigerian Twitter fight for 72 hours.

But remove the jokes for a second.

What exactly do Nigerians mean when we say somebody is “important”?

Is it followers?

Money?

Fame?

Political power?

A verified account?

A hit song?

A billion-naira company?

Or actual contribution to society?

Because this is where the conversation gets uncomfortable.

We have built a society where a person can have millions of followers and still know almost nothing about the country they live in.

We know who is dating who.

We know who cheated.

We know who bought a Ferrari.

We know who unfollowed who.

We know every lyric to the latest hit.

We know the footballer’s girlfriend, the celebrity’s birthday and the influencer’s house rent.

But ask basic questions about Nigeria’s history and suddenly everybody needs Google.

That is not an insult to celebrities.

Entertainment is important.

Music is important.

Comedy is important.

Content creation is important.

But fame and historical importance are NOT automatically the same thing.

And Nigerians desperately need to learn that difference.

Obasanjo then flipped the celebrity test on Isbae U.

He asked about Queen Elizabeth and King Charles.

Isbae U knew of them.

Obasanjo said he actually received Queen Elizabeth in Nigeria and had met King Charles, who received him at his farm in Wales.

It was clearly banter, but there was a serious point buried underneath it:

The people you know are often determined by the world you live in.

A young Nigerian living online may know every influencer in Lagos.

An older statesman who spent decades in politics and international diplomacy will know an entirely different category of people.

Neither automatically makes one wiser.

But pretending that fame, influence, historical significance and personal achievement are all the same thing is intellectually lazy.

And then came the Charly Boy story.

This one should actually make Nigerians uncomfortable.

Obasanjo admitted that when he first encountered Charly Boy, he had virtually no respect for him.

Why?

The appearance.

The lifestyle.

The unconventional public persona.

The “jaga-jaga” image.

Then he visited Justice Chukwudifu Oputa and discovered something he had not expected:

Charly Boy was taking care of his father.

Not Twitter.

Not Instagram.

Not PR.

His actual father.

Obasanjo said Charly Boy cared for Justice Oputa until his death and later did the same for his mother.

And that changed Obasanjo’s perception of him.

Think about that.

The former president essentially admitted:

“I judged this man wrongly because of what I saw on the outside.”

That is probably one of the biggest lessons hidden inside the entire podcast.

Because Nigerians do this EVERY DAY.

We judge somebody because of their clothes.

Their tribe.

Their accent.

Their hairstyle.

Their neighbourhood.

Their religion.

Their followers.

Their profession.

Their friends.

Their political affiliation.

Their appearance.

Then we convince ourselves we already know their character.

Meanwhile, somebody everybody calls a “mad man” online might be the person feeding his parents every single day.

Somebody who looks “successful” might be neglecting everybody who depends on him.

Somebody with 2 million followers might have absolutely no impact beyond entertainment.

And somebody with 2,000 followers might be quietly changing lives.

We confuse visibility with value.

That is the bigger problem.

Then came the tribal-mark conversation.

Almighty. Calm our troubled hearts. Let peace and tranquility reign once again. There’s so much noise and confusion around. It’s easy to be distracted and lose focus. Many useless things demand our attention. Guide us. Keep us firm in faith; always close to You. Aameen.

NEVEERRR, EVERrrrrrrrr underestimate how fast Allah can flip your whole life around. It doesn't even take 24 hours. ONE SECOND.Literally one single second is all it takes for Him. A dirty past can be wiped clean instantly.A heavy heart can find peace immediately. Something impossible for you is effortlessly easy for Allah. You see a soul that is too broken to fix. Allah just sees a servant ready to be forgiven. You genuinelyyyy don't know how fast His mercy can reach you before your next breath.

Ya Rabb, I don't know what Your plans are for me, but I am putting my whole life in Your hands now. I don't know what is good for me, and I don't know where life is taking me. I am letting go, surrender to Qadr and trust in Your plans because You are the best of planners. O Allah, it is Your mercy that I hope for, so do not leave me in charge of myself. Forgive me for all my sins, and grant us Jannah and success in this dunya and the hereafter. Ameen.

The result of sabr is always beautiful. If Allah is making you wait then maybe Allah wants to grant you more than your expectations. Because sabr is not easy and if you are showing Allah a beautiful patience, He will surely show you a beautiful miracle.

[H’s mom @aiishadahir]

He prayed tahajjud every night for 3 weeks.
Not for rizq. Not for marriage.
Just to say: “Thank You, Ya Allah.”
That’s when barakah started raining on him quietly

You will marry the one you prayed for, be patient الله swt is the best of planners

[H’s mom @aiishadahir]

You recite “Innā lillāhi wa innā ilayhi rājiʿūn” whenever someone dies.

But did you know the Qur’an doesn’t introduce these words as a phrase for death?

[• @Rohi_Alii]

How merciful is Allah

He watches you disobey Him, so He causes regret in your heart. Then He inspires you to seek His forgiveness so He may forgive you. Then He becomes pleased with you, and He changes your bad deeds into good deeds.

[Sara @piousdeenn]

Many people think the purpose of life is to be happy.

So when hardship comes, they ask:
“Why is Allah testing me?”

But Allah says:

[H’s mom @aiishadahir]

When you realize why Salaat timings are called “Fajr, Dhuhr , Asr, Maghrib, Isha”

(You would never leave prayer again)

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

For every pain you endure,
For every fear that grips your heart,
For every worry that keeps you awake at night,
For every loss that you grieve over,
For anything & everything that you can’t handle, leave it to the Lord of the Worlds. He’s the best disposer of our affairs.

[H’s mom @aiishadahir]

WHEN ALLAH WAKES YOU UP AT 2AM, 3AM, OR 4AM… PRAY

It’s not random. It’s not insomnia.

Is a divine wake up call. Allah wants to hear from you, He is giving a chance of one-on-one conversation
