Social media is abuzz with unfounded rumours that Toke Makinwa and Mercy Aigbe built their empire with the help of male sponsors. But Omojuwa has an interesting take on the rumours.

The rumours claim Mercy Aigbe's house was bought for her by a prominent man and Toke's lifestyle is also funded by someone. But Omojuwa gave a very insightful opinion on the rumours as he came to the defence of both women.

He wrote:

A society can never advance beyond the collective mentality of its people. Poor societies are poor because their systems are set up to make people poor but essentially because there is a mentality that drives poverty, cultures it and amplifies it. The same mentality that kills or gets on the way of enterprise.

I know these two enterprising ladies. Without knowing them personally, you see them creating businesses and products and getting stuff done. They create products, write, create platforms, movies, sign endorsement deals...their path to wealth is apparent to any rational person.

But ours is a society that suspects progress and wealth. When a young person is rich, even with an apparent value creation system, we ascribe their success to everything other than the fact that they create value and earn income.

These days, we have blogs and sites focused on damaging people’s reputation than pushing progress. You create a product and they look away; someone starts a dirty unfounded rumour and they jump on it. They amplify. They drop denigrating comments. Some people subconsciously think that the reason their own lives are failing is because others are progressing. We need to do better.

When a lady succeeds or starts to shine, we ascribe their success to the rich and powerful. Even some women with powerful platforms either push or amplify this madness. We are disempowering young girls. We are telling them being enterprising is a lie. That working smart and hard is useless because to succeed you have to be dating a governor. They believe this because of the lies we form and amplify about the successes of those they look up to.

We go to church on Sundays, to the Mosque on Fridays, to the Shrine and we pray to succeed. To thrive. We work hard too. But when we see others succeed, we insist they had sex with someone, they are gay, they are anything but the culmination of their sweat and intellect.

Our leaders are mostly bad. Our collective mentality is actually worse. These are human beings.
Young girls making a living. For each time you push this myth that these folks succeed because of some immoral acts with men, remember your daughter, your sister...let’s do better!

Abi you too wan chop from the Sugar daddy ni

People use what they have to get what they want....no longer news

I totally agree with him on this

I was had any issue with some guys who almost killed me in Ilorin Kwara because I told them that one hotel Whitefield Hotels does not belong to the state governor. And the funniest part is I knew the owner in person. People want for you to make and decide to not just bring you down but bury you. Poverty is indeed a sickness

If u know u know

Words

Omojuwa, are you one of the big gods?

Birds of a feather.....

We Nigerians never mind our business, those shouting olosho don't be surprised one of their family member is also olosho at Allen junction
