I’m not the only one who witnessed that massive giveaway Bandits hosted on TikTok. The desperation from Nigerians especially the girls, was honestly shocking.
Account numbers (mostly OPay and MoniePoint) were flying across the screen non-stop during his live stream between 12:00 AM and 1:00 AM two nights ago.
The Fulani host ended up dishing out over ₦50 million, and the way people were shamelessly begging their so-called oppressors for money left me speechless.
Thousands were tuned in, glued to the live.
How did we, as a country, sink to this level? It’s genuinely heartbreaking.💔
If you’re seeing this, especially as a young man trying to build his life from a humble background, understand that one of the fastest paths to financial ruin is gambling.
I’ve seen it destroy lives here in the U.S. with all the opportunities and support systems available. Imagine what it can do to you in Nigeria. Ọnwụ gburu Alhaji, nwete Almajiri, ọ sụọ ya akwụ.
Forget the occasional “wins” you see online. Many are just highlights hiding deeper stories of debt, regret, and ruined finances.
But then again, you don’t have to listen to me.
@AsakyGRN Go to TikTok and drop this your glittering shoe. Your audience is there. Or better still use your WhatsApp status since you want to sell a shoe of N25,000,000 via WhatsApp.
Disregard for Naira will not be tolerated here.
🇳🇬🪖FROM A SOLDIER ON THE NORTHEAST FRONTLINES
We didn't wake up wanting to burn homes. But we buried Col. AI Mohammed and six of our brothers this week. They hit IEDs on a road that terrorists use freely, roads that cut through communities that see them, know them, and say nothing.
For years, we've fought with one hand tied. Terrorists hide among civilians, launch attacks from villages, then melt back in. Intelligence leaks. Patrols get ambushed. Our casualties mount.
So here is the hard truth; if your community refuses to report terrorist movements, if you shelter their fighters or keep silent about their weapons, you become part of the threat. We cannot protect you if you protect our enemy.
Governor Zulum warned: don't aid Boko Haram. The Army is now backing that warning with action. The demolition in Chali 2 was halted after higher authorities stepped in but the message stands. Local leaders must now choose between dialogue with us and cut ties with terror, or face the consequences.
We are creating a buffer zone around Monguno. We will deny the enemy every cover, every supply route, every safe haven. We don't want to destroy your homes. We want to go home alive to ours too.
Help us help you.
Report suspicious activity.
Refuse to feed or hide terrorists.
Because if you stand with them, you stand against us. And we will not lose this war.
@itsmrkemji@ImOnlyTM A topic we should dwell on. The disregard for Naira in the name of “bespoke” “hand made” and “luxury” is becoming a trend.
We are too poor as a nation for the lifestyle we flaunt.
@dammiedammie35 Disrespect to our currency. Chasing clout at the expense of our currency. Do you know how this makes the Naira look? N15m for fish and pepper sauce. Criminals!!
