There is actually no evidence that something like “generational curses” exists in the way people describe it. What we see across generations is not a curse, it is patterns. Things like poverty, poor access to education, unstable homes, or bad financial decisions can repeat themselves because of environment and circumstances, not because of anything spiritual being passed down.

If someone grows up in a home where money is always scarce, opportunities are limited, and survival is the focus, they are more likely to face the same struggles as adults. Not because they are cursed, but because they were not given the same starting point as others. On the other hand, people who grew up in stable homes with access to education and support systems naturally have an advantage.

It might feel like a curse because the cycle is hard to break, but it is really a mix of social, economic, and psychological factors. The good part is that unlike a “curse,” these patterns can actually be changed. People learn new habits, get education, build discipline, and over time shift their reality.

So instead of seeing it as something mystical that cannot be controlled, it makes more sense to see it as a tough starting point that requires more effort to overcome. It is hard, no doubt, but it is not something supernatural holding anyone back.
Your starting point as a Nigerian can’t be compared to that of an American.

Hope this thing I’m hearing is not true 😭💔

On the 16th of December 25, I discovered a deadly evil being perpetuated by citizens against fellow citizens. In the course of this story, I'll make use of fictional names but real locations where they occured.

On that Tuesday morning, Olamide, a 25 year old boy came back to his apartment in Rumuigbo with his Toks Lexus RX 350, which he bought the previous week, and was celebrating with everyone. He had picked up the car from Apapa, Lagos, where he went with a mechanic whom he met on FB marketplace and drove down to see his people in Delta before proceeding to PH on that day. The car had been in his possession for over 7 days before he came to PH.

Let me give you a backstory on Olamide. He is an only son with 6 sisters and he is the 4th child. His father is in Quatar, working as a boat operator and his mother is a teacher in one of the government secondary schools in Delta state. Olamide is a waiter in one prominent place in Onne, hence the urge to get a car. His dad sent him the money for the car since the boy wasn't patient enough for one to be shipped to him.

While we were celebrating, we heard gunshots outside the gate and almost immediately the gate flew wide open. Operatives of EFCC and NPF filled the compound and everyone was in panic mode. I sharply went inside and called the NAF base and Army barracks, sent my location and went outside. I was on pass so I had no official capacity to act, hence my silence. They told everyone to lie down, started rough handling everyone. Some started going door to door, pounding and shouting that everyone must come out. I tried talking to the one I sensed was the most senior and he shunned me. I didn't argue or drag. They checked their tablet and kept pointing at the car, "oga na the car be this. Tracker no dey lie." While they were at it, 4 vans filled with soldiers arrived, and 6 of them came into the compound. Upon seeing them, I got up immediately and told everyone on the floor to stand.

We started asking questions, and they said the car belonged to a yahoo boy and it was seized by the EFCC. They claimed the car was missing from their lot and they have been tracking it for over 4 months, so I had Olamide describe the vendor's location and calls were made to Lagos, some soldiers and some members of the Lagos RRS stormed the place, picked up the seller and began interrogating him. That's where things went dark.

The car seller has an active agreement with a handful from the EFCC. If a young guy buys a car, they install trackers and sell it to him, wait for some days and bust the guy, retrieve the car and arrest him while tagging him a yahoo boy. The car is then returned to the car dealer and the dealer gives EFCC their own share from the car sales proceeds. The mechanic is in on it also.

After all these exposé, I realized that we have a very long way to go as a country.

To the young men, do your research before you walk into any dealership to buy a car. Ask questions, swallow pride. That 24-48 hours of information gathering will save you a long time in prison.

Today I made 2 GRWM videos (market edition ) entirely in the Igbo language in participation of the ongoing Igbo GRWM by @VoiceOfTheEast. I’m happy I did because couple of years back I barely could speak proper Igbo.

@favogbuji @VoiceOfTheEast @Salttybarber

Don’t laugh 😂

One last tweet before I go and enjoy my weekend:

The fact that an "older Nigerian" claims to have "witnessed" something and drawn their conclusions from their lived experience means extremely little, verging on nothing to me.

Reason being that these exact same "older Nigerians" who apparently "witnessed" Muhammadu Buhari version 1984, came to this very app 11 years ago - in the middle of the biggest economic and cultural breakout Nigeria has had since the 1970s oil boom - under a president who had achieved 7% annual growth, largest economy in Africa, and had signed the first Freedom Of Information Act in Nigeria's history, and they told us that based on what they "witnessed" in 1983, Muhammadu NEPA Bill was the leader Nigeria needed, and would be an upgrade on the one we had.

Older Nigerians are very stupid people.

I do not take their opinions and thoughts seriously.

Whoever said “money can’t buy happiness” really knew what they were talking about 😔

[Valentine @realprofval]

@elonmusk Then send your money come my side

[Valentine @realprofval]

@Uzuakoliii Lols wrong

What about Ogudo ?

[PABLO OF UNN🦁 @chudy_jnr]

Sometimes, just hearing a person’s surname is enough for me to guess where they’re from and most times, I’m spot on.

For example, when I hear surnames like EZE, UGWU, AGBO, UDEH, MBAH, ONAH, EZUGWU, ASOGWA, UGWUOKE, NWOBODO, NWACHUKWU, UGWUANYI, ANI, ODO, EZEJA, EZEMA, EYA, and others, I already know the person is most likely from Enugu State.

Names like OKAFOR, OKEKE, OKOYE, OKONKWO, NWANKWO, NWEKE, NWAFOR, OBI, IGWE, NWOYE, AGU, OKECHUKWU, OKOLO, CHUKWUMA, OKORIE, OKPALA, EJIOFOR, OKEREKE, ANENE, CHUKWU, etc., usually point straight to Anambra State.

When you hear surnames such as KALU, ORJI, OGBONNA, NJOKU, KANU, OKORONKWO, ONWUKA, OKORIE, OKORO, ONUOHA, EKE, NWAOGU, chances are the person is from Abia State.

Names like OSUJI, NJOKU, OPARA, ANYANWU, NWACHUKWU, DURU, IBE, DIKE, UZOMA, AMAECHI, ONYEMA, NDUKA, NNEJI, NSOFOR, NDIDI, NWOKE, are very common in Imo State.

And once you come across surnames like IGWE, ODO, OMA, ADAGBA, IDOKO, ELECHI, EGWU, EKPA, ONUOGU, AGADA, ATTAH, EGBA, OGAH, ONU, NWAIFURU, NWORIE, you’re most likely dealing with someone from Ebonyi State.

I’m in my house now afraid to sit on the toilet because of all the snake theories flying on the TL since morning 😭

[Valentine @realprofval]

@AChinegbom4049 @grok is this possible ?

[Lukas Not Podolski @OtitoNosike]

The older I get, the more I realize that most of my problems are not mysteries. They are negotiations. I know what to do. I simply don’t want to pay the price yet.

[Valentine @realprofval]

@benita_val3 @grok what kinda insult is this ?

[Val @Val_Ogu]

Your brain is on airplane mode:
no signals, no connections.
Not that you lack sense, you just avoid it like it owes you money.

[Valentine @realprofval]

@Mikeso5050 @sochinenyenwa_ Sometimes I want to argue, but then again, the people I'm arguing with are too dumb to understand anything.

They believe every traditional rubbish

[Val @Val_Ogu]

Why do we keep losing the best of us? 💔😭

Ifunanya’s death is a shame to Nigerian politicians.

She would have been alive, planning her next tour.

In 2026 we are still talking about snake venom not being available in hospitals.

It is a big shame to our politicians.

I cried watching this video. A beautiful soul is lost again.

We are not angry enough, I swear.

All Nigerian politicians are evil.

We need to wake up and take back our country.

You might be next, I might be next, your relative might be next. Don’t act as if it doesn’t concern you.

In one way or another we will all die at the hands of these evil leaders. Do you want to die a coward or a hero fighting? Choose your death wisely.
