The truth will be out soon
“My Dad usually calls me Aminata which is my real name but I don’t know where he is atm.
He’s from Senegal but I went there one time and couldn’t find him. I was told he moved to France. I’ve never seen him, he use to call when I was a kid but he doesn’t any longer”

@winexviv Imagine going to school in the present day Nigeria and still outshined others kids from developed countries.
Igbos should be the mark & symbol of excellence 👏
"When I wrote JAMB, the cut-off mark was 250. Now it's 150, the standard of education keeps going down. AIf we don't keep young people engaged in universities, this country will burn. Ycee, alongside other intelligent legends, hardly releases music anymore because they understand we now have a lot of unintelligent people in society. Many of them won't appreciate such music and would rather listen to songs that match their level of understanding.
I'm not saying those making such songs are not intelligent. I'm simply saying they understand the society we live in."
— Klintoncod reacts after Ycee referred to Peller as an "Olodo Uprising."
Ironically, this heated "Olodo Uprising" conversation is actually a good sign for Nigeria.
Nigeria is finally having its first endogenous, organically-defined culture war over an issue that is intrinsically important to Nigerian society.
Every other culture war that post-colonial Nigeria has fought until now has been imported Yankee slop, or imported religious slop, or both (LGBTQ, 3rd wave Feminism, "sexual liberation", tithing, NYSC hijab, etc).
A society fighting internal culture wars over its own self-defined issues is a society that is finally obtaining an identity of its own. Long may the war continue, and may the olodos suffer crushing defeat that dooms their uprising to the chapters of a Jude Bela historical documentary released in 2045.
“Akara Mentality Vs Olodo Uprising. What Is Winning In Nigeria? Or Is It The Yahoo Culture? Do You People Really Want To Know The Painful Truth About How I Feel About This And How We Can Correct It? A Graduate Will Finish School With a First-Class Degree, Yet Receive No Support Or Encouragement From Wealthy Nigerians Or Politicians. Then You Have Some Nigerian Youths Who Become Popular Online By Twerking Or Sexu@lizing Themselves And Go On Big Brother Show, Enjoy Free Accommodation And Meals, Win The Show, And Walk Away With ₦150 Million.” ~ KokoPee Reacts.
“Me that went to school and graduated, as government didn’t give us a job, what did you want us to do? You can’t expect those who have high IQs and at the end of the day end up cleaning toilets.”
— Jarvis, responding to Ycee after he called her husband “Olodo Uprising.”
"On this 'Olodo Uprising,' the truth is that Peller is not the problem, and neither is Ycee for what he said. The real problem is me and you—the users. Where there is no demand, there can never be supply.
There are people in Nigeria creating meaningful content, but people don't engage with them. Instead, they quickly engage content with big Yansh or people talking r√bbish. I'm also part of the problem because I keep using big bum bum in my content, and that's because it's exactly what you people want to see."

@DavidHundeyin As someone who teaches Mass Media & Pop Culture, this convo on how platform ownership & funding shape Narrative is overdue. The violence of the algorithm war being curently waged on NGR far exceeds the devastations of the 400 yrs of colonial brigandage we're still smarting from.
My last word on the "olodo uprising":
You can keep on repeating to yourself, "The algorithms only show you more of what you like, so the problem is with us not with the social media platforms" as much as you like.
It won't make it true.
The algorithms are NOT neutral. You're just too delusional to accept the reality that rich, powerful people who pay billions for publicity and advertisement will never look at a technology like social media and leave it alone to be "neutral".
If you believe these platforms are neutral, then you are not different from Peller and his internet tribe. You're just an olodo with better articulation.
“Some OGs don't deserve respect. This Ycee guy should look at what an elderly man is saying. You people who bring music promotions to so-called 'olodos' are the same ones promoting them.
— Peller replies Ycee.
"This was me in the video during the job interview where Peller humiliated me after I told him my name. The issue isn't that Peller is an Olodo; the issue is that you're a m√mu. The fact that people are calling you an Olodo and you're still ins√lting others only proves them right.
I don't regret being among those Peller humiliated because the experience taught me a lesson. Today, I'm currently in the UK pursuing my master's degree.
The fact that Peller has grace doesn't give him the right to ins√lt people in the name of trying to be funny. No one håtes Peller; people simply want him to learn. Ask yourself, what will happen in the next one year if he continues like this?"
— Nkese Eyo, the lady who went to Peller's interview, reacts to the trending Olodo Uprising topic.

I had this same premise during the Peller X YCee saga.
The fact that YCee attacked what Peller represented and how he portrayed education to the public, and the Peller person and his minions kept hammering on how much money he had and his philanthropy: was that the subject?
Others hammered on how he needed intellect to make money, again, not the point: the point is what his content portrayed.
We have exchanged our values for money, everything is a means to a fiduciary end.
And that’s why educated people will ask bandits for money in tik tok.
