“This is very distasteful and disrespectful” – Comedian, Woli Arole replies fan who thrashed his content

Nigerian comedian, Woli Arole has taken to social media to rant about the struggles and frustration of being a content creator, while responding to a fan who criticised his comedy videos.

 Woli Arole replies

It all started when he shared his pre-wedding photos on Instagram, and a fan identified as Oppyjoseph took to the comment section to congratulate him on his engagement and also bash his contents. According to the fan, Woli Arole does not dish out good contents anymore.

Oppyjoseph wrote, “Congrats big man but it must be said that you don’t have good content videos anymore so bye.

The remark didn’t go down well with the entertainer as he expressed his displeasure at the fan for being insensitive. He also advised the fan to adopt constructive criticism, rather than disrespecting people’s hard work.

Reacting to the fan’s comment, Woli Arole wrote, “@Oppyjoseph Mr Joseph so you could have sent me this as a private message. Comment like, guy work on your content, we need to feel you more. coming here to congratulate and also talk about my content not good anymore is quite disrespectful. there are better ways to use our tongue, our mouth and our brain. So learn that next time. Greet if you want to and keep mute if you want to or criticize sensibly if you want to.”

He went further to share a screenshot of their exchange on his Instagram page and enlighten people who condemn content creators on social media, without considering the fact that they are also humans with feelings.

He captioned the post,

I rarely don’t do this, but I NEED to post this. I must say creating content is a lot, no one is an island. So for someone to say “you don’t have good content” in my comment session is very DISTASTEFUL and DISRESPECTFUL. You could send me a DM, Call my business line, try to reach me or even PRAY for me. @oppyjoseph that was very DISRESPECTFUL.

Do you know what content creator go through, we are also humans ourselves and our team. Ask @brobouche he was nearly murdered in Nigeria because he wanted to create content ask @toyin_abraham she was nearly killed bcos of making movies.

So please this is to FANS and FRIENDS don’t use words to pull us down when it seem like you weren’t feeling us at a time. A lot have personal and life issues they can’t share .I was hospitalized with drips some days. Ask @mrmacaroni1 these dudes will tell you what they go through. So to all the filmmakers and content creators out there, GOD will STRENGTHEN YOU. To people like @oppyjoseph Please learn to use your brain and mouth wisely. God bless.

“I wrote WAEC and JAMB four times” – BBNaija star, Alex recounts

Big Brother Naija star, Alexandra Sandra Asogwa better known as Alex Unusual, has recounted her days of little beginning before she rose to stardom.

According to the reality star, in the quest for success she wrote the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination and the West African Senior School Certificate Examination four times.

In an interview with Glazia Magazine, the former Big Brother Naija housemate disclosed that she took her fourth WASSCE during her third year in the university, in a bid to switch to a course she was passionate about.

In her words,

“I was stressing me and I had to write WAEC and Jamb four times. I think I wrote the fourth WAEC shortly before the reality show. In school, I actually helped people from the art class with their assignments. Then in university, people studying theatre arts and mass comms would come to meet me to help them with assignments.”

These were people in 400 level while I was in 100 level studying Agriculture. I was basically studying something I had no interest in, and helping people do their own assignments. So, when I wrote my fourth WAEC exam, I was hoping to pass and move. I didn’t mind starting from the beginning because I was already in a 300 level Agriculture.”

“Leaving Nigeria does not guarantee you’ll get rich” – Actor, Frank Donga

Actor, Kunle Idowu popularly known as Frank Donga, has taken to Twitter to address the common misconception that leaving Nigeria is the guarantee for success.

The media personality’s statement comes amid the current craze of Nigerian youths to “japa” – i.e, relocate to a foreign country in order to escape the struggles of living in Nigeria.

According to Frank Donga, leaving the country does not guarantee a person will get rich. To balance the scale, he added that staying in Nigeria does not also mean the person is more patriotic.

In the post shared on Twitter, Frank Donga noted that the major desire of people is to maximise their potentials and live in peace, regardless of the location.

He tweeted,

“The truth is leaving Nigeria does not guarantee you’ll get rich. Likewise, deciding to stay does NOT mean you’re more patriotic. Sometimes, all people want is where they can maximize their potentials & live in peace. Whatever you decide to do, I pray your dreams come true.”

Tragic! 24-year-old Nigerian PhD student/beauty queen shot dead in the U.S.

A former Nigerian beauty queen and doctorate student has been shot dead while sitting in her car in front of her family’s home in Philadelphia.

24-year-old Najeebat Sule, who was known to her loved ones as Najee, was killed as she was texting a friend in her Toyota shortly before 6pm on March 12, just steps away from her residence in the 8800 block of Frankford Avenue.

At the moment, police have not found a motive and have made no arrests, leaving Najeebat’s family and friends searching for answers. They have also gone into hiding for fear of their own lives.

“I can’t think of anything that would make anyone want to kill her,” Najeebat’s close friend Habibat Magaji, told the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Magaji was among the last people to have seen Najeebat alive before she was shot. The two women had spent the night before at Magaji’s home, eating snacks and watching Netflix together.

Less than 24 hours later, Najeebat was sitting in her gray Toyota Corolla, exchanging text messages with Magaji, when an unidentified man walked up to the vehicle with a gun drawn and shot her several times.

Najeebat’s father, Adewale Sule, heard the gunfire and came out from the house just in time to see the suspect fire the last of the shots at his daughter.

Mr Sule said: “I saw the guy shooting my daughter. He shot the last round and I pursued him. He ran back to his car.”

Najeet was rushed to Jefferson Torresdale Hospital, where she was pronounced dead about 30 minutes later.

Her mother, Tawakalitu Sule, said she last heard from Najeebat less than two hours before the shooting, when her daughter asked her when she was going to be home.

“All of my children have been crying every day because of their big sister. They really miss her. I miss my daughter,” she said.

Najeet is survived by her parents and two sisters.

“She was very talented, smart and funny,” one of her siblings told 6abc.

The family are currently staying at an undisclosed location over unspecified concerns for their safety. Sule and her family moved to Philadelphia from Nigeria in the early 2000s.

Sule had only recently earned a Master’s degree in public health from West Chester University and was pursuing a doctorate.

In 2019, she was crowned a second runner-up at the Miss Nigeria International pageant.

The pageant organisers wrote on Facebook following her death,

“Queen Najibat was an amazing young lady whose presence at the Miss Nigerian beauty pageant left a great ripple that continues to resonate. She was a breath of fresh air and her presence added a distinct touch that made the event memorable. She carried herself with great dignity and grace and her strength of character and approachability made her such a joy to work with.”
