Renowned Nigerian pastor and founder of the Streams of Joy International, Jerry Eze, has become the subject of intense online discussion following reports of his alleged staggering YouTube earnings. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
According to a publication by Legit.ng, Pastor Eze, who commands a massive online following with over 2.6 million YouTube subscribers, has reportedly earned a jaw-dropping ₦10.6 billion from the video platform.
The news has since raised eyebrows and stirred heated conversations among Nigerians. While some social media users applauded the clergyman for leveraging technology to spread the gospel and build a global audience, others expressed shock over the mind-blowing figures, questioning the accuracy of the claims.
Pastor Jerry Eze is best known for his popular online prayer program, “New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations (NSPPD)”, which attracts millions of live viewers daily from across the world.
Whether the reported ₦10.6 billion figure is exact or not, one thing is clear: Pastor Eze has successfully harnessed the power of digital platforms to become one of the most influential preachers of this generation.
For decades, the Nigerian dream was straightforward: get a degree, land a stable job, and climb the corporate ladder. But for today’s youth, especially in Lagos, the idea of a 9-to-5 office job no longer holds the same appeal. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
A new generation is embracing freelancing, remote work, tech startups, and self-employment over the traditional corporate path. The shift is not just cultural — it’s economic, digital, and generational. The Numbers Don’t Lie
According to a Jobberman report, 1 in 3 Nigerian youths now prefer self-employment to working in corporate offices. This trend is strongest in Lagos, the country’s commercial capital, where startups, fintechs, and remote job opportunities thrive.
Nigeria has over 80 million internet users, enabling remote work opportunities.
Lagos is home to more than 400 startups, many of them youth-led.
Africa’s largest gig economy platforms, like Upwork and Fiverr, report rising registrations from Nigerian youths.
Why 9-to-5 Jobs Are Losing Appeal
1. Low Pay vs. High Cost of Living
Lagos is one of the most expensive cities in Africa. Yet, many entry-level jobs still pay less than ₦100,000 a month — barely enough for rent and transportation.
2. Toxic Work Environments
Youths often complain about poor work-life balance, micromanagement, and rigid hierarchies in Nigerian offices.
3. The Rise of Tech and Remote Work
Coding, crypto, content creation, and digital marketing are giving youths global income opportunities from the comfort of their homes.
4. The Japa Factor
Many youths see 9-to-5 jobs as dead ends compared to remote gigs that make relocation or “japa” easier.
5. Flexibility and Freedom
The soft life culture means young people want time for side hustles, personal projects, and enjoyment — something the 9-to-5 rarely allows. The New Hustle Culture in Lagos
Instead of suits and ties, Lagos youths are building personal brands, freelancing portfolios, and digital businesses.
Influencers: From Instagram to TikTok, content creation is now a full-time job.
Techies: Coding bootcamps and fintech startups are producing millionaire youths.
Freelancers: Writers, designers, and virtual assistants now work for clients worldwide.
Side hustlers: From food delivery to thrift fashion reselling, the hustle never ends.
The Downsides of Abandoning 9-to-5
While the freedom is attractive, this new path comes with risks:
Unstable income: Freelancers may earn big one month and nothing the next.
No health or retirement benefits compared to corporate jobs.
High competition in global gig platforms.
Yet, for most Lagos youths, the promise of freedom and higher income outweighs the risks. Final Thoughts
The Nigerian youth workforce is evolving fast. The 9-to-5 job model, once the gold standard, is giving way to freelancing, tech, and remote opportunities.
For many Lagos youths, the question isn’t “What company do you work for?” anymore. It’s “What hustle are you running?”

Peller, who recently acquired a multimillion-naira home, shared his thoughts during a broadcast where he reflected on his previous live session with Davido.

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has revealed that over 411 Nigerians lost their lives in 2024 while attempting to scoop fuel from fallen tankers across the country.
The shocking figure was disclosed by the Benue State Sector Commander, Steve Ayodele, during a town hall meeting with trailer and tanker drivers in Makurdi, aimed at addressing the growing menace of road crashes and fuel scooping.
According to Ayodele, these fatalities represent 7.6% of all road traffic deaths recorded nationwide in 2024. He described the incidents as “tragic but entirely avoidable,” warning the public to desist from such dangerous practices.
“Fuel scooping has become one of the deadliest practices on Nigerian roads. Instead of recognising spilt fuel as a danger, many rush to collect it. Sadly, this reckless act has cost hundreds of lives and destroyed property,” he said.
The FRSC boss explained that tanker explosions often result in severe burns, destruction of vehicles, shops, and infrastructure, leaving families in economic distress. He blamed the tragedies on reckless driving, disobedience to traffic laws, roadside trading near accident-prone areas, and unsafe behaviour at crash sites.
Ayodele further identified overloading, unregulated driving hours, and poor safety checks as major contributors to tanker-related accidents.
Also speaking, Babalola Sheba, Head of Operations at the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), condemned the environmental and health hazards of fuel scooping. He explained that fuel spills contaminate soil, water, and air, while prolonged exposure to fumes can trigger respiratory problems and skin irritation. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

“Safety is not a one-time goal but a continuous process,” Ogbanje stated, urging drivers to always carry valid licences, avoid overloading, and report unsafe practices.
He also called for stronger public awareness campaigns and stakeholder collaboration to curb the dangerous culture of fuel scooping and reduce tanker-related disasters across Nigeria.

In an exclusive interview with Sunday Scoop, Joseph Aloba dismissed the claims made by the controversial Marlian Records boss, who earlier in the week released a video stating he had no hand in Mohbad’s struggles or tragic passing. According to Naira Marley, his role was to “guide” the young artist, especially after discovering his alleged involvement with hard substances. Mohbad’s Father Speaks Out
Joseph Aloba recounted:
“I went to see Naira Marley over some of the things Mohbad had said, and that was all. But later, a lot of other things happened that I personally witnessed. There were about three other people present at the time; two of them are still alive today. They were working with Naira Marley, even though they were younger and under him. One of them once came to me to report that Naira Marley was beating Mohbad.”
He further clarified:
“When we went to see him to apologise, he wasn’t even speaking respectfully. People think I went there to collect money, but life is much more than just what I want to eat.”
On Mohbad’s Financial Transactions
Addressing recent claims that Mohbad used an unfamiliar bank account for transactions, Aloba confirmed that Naira Marley had raised concerns about the matter:
“Naira Marley complained to me that he (Mohbad) was collecting money with an account that is not his and that he had to force him to use his personal account. I also saw that he was sending me money from a strange account and I warned him that anything he wants to give me should come from his own account. That’s what I know about the account issue.”
The controversy surrounding Mohbad’s career, financial dealings, and untimely death continues to spark debates and calls for justice within the Nigerian music industry.

Traditionalists Warn: “Alaafin, Ooni May Be Under a Spell” Amid Growing Royal Rift
The Traditional Religion Worshippers Association of Osun State has voiced serious concerns over the intensifying rift between two of the most revered Yoruba monarchs — the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Abimbola Owoade, and the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi — warning that the feud may not be natural, but spiritually influenced. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
Speaking on the matter, the association’s president, Oluseyi Atanda, suggested that the ongoing tensions could be the result of a spell or spiritual manipulation by forces intent on destabilizing the Yoruba race.
“The two monarchs are traditional rulers and share the same ancestral lineage. This kind of disagreement doesn’t arise without spiritual interference. It could be the handiwork of those who fear Yoruba unity,” Atanda stated.
He further recommended that cleansing rituals may be necessary to resolve the crisis and called on aides and supporters of both royal houses to act with wisdom and restraint.
Renowned Ifa priest and cultural icon, Ifayemi Elebuibon, also weighed in, describing the situation as “disgraceful and unnecessary.” He emphasized that Yoruba kings should be champions of unity and development, not rivalry.
“The focus should be on the prosperity of the Yoruba people. This supremacy battle is beneath the dignity of our thrones. It’s being fueled by external influences, and our monarchs must rise above it,” Elebuibon urged.
The dispute was sparked by the Ooni’s recent conferment of the title “Okanlomo of Yorubaland” on Ibadan-based businessman Dotun Sanusi, during the launch of a Yoruba networking platform on August 16. The Alaafin reportedly objected, asserting that only he holds the authority to grant titles that span the entire Yoruba nation.
As tensions continue to rise, traditional leaders and cultural custodians are calling for immediate intervention to prevent a broader cultural and political fallout.

“There are many options. I could be stealing oil, I could be playing basketball, I could be a fraudster, a suicide bomber… even a prostitute,” he said, with a mix of seriousness and sarcasm.
While some fans saw the comment as a dark joke, others believe he was being brutally honest about the harsh realities faced by many Nigerian youths. His statement sheds light on the limited opportunities and risky environments that many grow up in, especially in regions plagued by economic hardship and systemic issues.
This isn’t the first time Burna Boy has spoken about his rough background and how music gave him a way out. His words reflect the thin line between success and struggle — a reality for countless young people across the country.
The clip, now making rounds on social media, has drawn mixed reactions — with some applauding his honesty, while others debate whether he went too far.
Regardless of the interpretation, Burna Boy’s statement opens up a broader conversation about the role of music and creative industries in changing lives and offering a path away from crime and desperation.
Marlian Records boss, Naira Marley, has made a shocking revelation about the late singer Mohbad’s financial dealings during his time at the label. According to Naira Marley, Mohbad frequently directed him to send money to an account that allegedly belonged to his partner’s mother, Wunmi’s mom, and not his own mother. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
In a recent interview, Naira Marley narrated that Mohbad first contacted him on November 16, 2020, claiming he was hospitalized for malaria treatment. He later sent an account number with the name Adesanya Justina Olajumoke on December 21, 2020, insisting that all payments be made to it.
“On December 21, 2020, Mohbad sent me an account with the name: Adesanya Justina Olajumoke. He said that was his new account where money should be paid into,” Naira Marley stated.
The Marlian boss added that on December 30, 2020, Mohbad expressed gratitude after receiving money in the same account following his one-year anniversary with Marlian Records. Again, on December 31, 2020, and January 25, 2021, the same account details were sent.
However, Naira Marley claimed he became suspicious because Mohbad’s mother is known as Abosede, not Adesanya Justina Olajumoke.
"I knew that wasn’t his mum’s name. It was Wunmi’s mother’s account. His mother’s name is Abosede. I was like what’s going on? I then called him over to my place and spoke to him,” he added.
This revelation has stirred fresh conversations online, adding another layer to the controversies surrounding Mohbad’s time under Marlian Records.
Social media is currently abuzz with a claim that Lagos-born rapper Lil Kesh was attacked in the city and sustained injuries to his throat and ear. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
The allegation originated from a post by user “Hybrid_Ola,” which states:
“Lil Kesh was reportedly attacked and injured in Lagos. He was slashed on his throat and cut to his ear.” X (formerly Twitter)
This message has been copied and reshared across various timelines—including a repost by “BigDolapo Shelter”—yet no official confirmation has surfaced. X (formerly Twitter)
There is no confirmation from Lil Kesh himself, his management, or any official representative. No mainstream Nigerian media outlet has reported on this alleged incident.
Law enforcement and healthcare sources have also remained silent on the matter.
While Lil Kesh (born Keshinro Ololade) rose to fame with hits such as “Shoki”, and continues to be a prominent figure in Nigeria’s Afrobeats scene with no verified updates are available regarding his well-being.
In Lagos, when something goes wrong — from a failed job interview to a flat tire — don’t be surprised if someone whispers, “Na my village people.” It’s one of the funniest and most widely believed cultural sayings in Nigeria. But behind the humor lies a deep-rooted mix of superstition, tradition, and the Lagos hustle mentality. Why do Lagosians (and Nigerians in general) believe that “village people” are behind every setback? Let’s break it down. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
1. The Fear of the Unknown Many Nigerians grow up hearing stories of witches, wizards, and jealous relatives back home in the village. Lagos, being the land of opportunities, often represents progress, while “village people” symbolize forces trying to pull you back. When something unexplainable happens, blaming “village people” feels like the easiest explanation.
2. It’s a Coping Mechanism Life in Lagos is tough — traffic, bills, unstable power supply, rising rent. Instead of admitting bad planning or sheer bad luck, it’s easier (and sometimes funnier) to say, “My village people no want make I progress.” It lightens the mood and makes problems feel less personal.
3. Religion and Spiritual Influence Nigeria is one of the most religious countries in the world. Churches and mosques preach heavily about spiritual battles, unseen forces, and enemies plotting against your destiny. So when Lagosians encounter problems, they naturally connect them to these teachings about “spiritual enemies.”
4. A Way of Explaining Jealousy and Competition In Lagos, progress is loud. New car? New job? Relocating abroad? It’s common to hear, “Be careful, village people are watching.” It’s a cultural way of saying that envy is real, and not everyone is happy with your success.
5. Pop Culture Reinforcement Comedians, Nollywood movies, and even social media influencers have kept the “village people” joke alive. It has become part of everyday Lagos slang, blending superstition with entertainment.
6. A Warning Disguised as Humor Sometimes when a Lagosian says, “Village people are at work,” it’s a coded warning to stay vigilant, pray harder, or double-check your moves. Behind the laughter, there’s often real concern about unseen enemies.
Conclusion Whether it’s superstition, humor, or a way to make sense of life’s struggles, Lagosians will always find a way to blame “village people.” It has become part of our cultural identity — a funny but powerful reminder that in Nigeria, every setback has a spiritual explanation.
So next time your Uber cancels or NEPA takes light right before your favorite show, don’t stress too much. Just smile and say, “Na my village people.”

No matter where you are — New York, London, Dubai, or Cape Town — there’s a good chance you’ve crossed paths with a Lagosian. And trust me, you’ll know it when you see it. We Lagos people carry our city in our walk, our talk, and even our facial expressions. Here’s how to spot us instantly, no matter how far from home we are. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
1. They Walk Like They Have an Urgent Meeting (Even on Holiday) Lagos traffic teaches you to move fast. A Lagosian abroad will be weaving through airport crowds like they’re dodging danfo buses on Third Mainland Bridge.
2. Loud but Lovable Conversations Whether it’s Pidgin, Yoruba, or English, our voices carry. If you hear someone across the room loudly greeting “My guy! How far?” — you’ve found one.
3. Overdressed for the Occasion From weddings to grocery runs, Lagosians dress like they might end up in a music video. Abroad, they’re the ones turning the school run into a mini fashion show.
4. Constantly Calculating in Naira That London coffee? “This thing na ₦12,000 o!” The conversion never stops, no matter the currency.
5. Natural Hustlers If a Lagosian spends more than two weeks abroad, they’ve already found a side hustle. From importing Ankara to organizing events, the Lagos hustle DNA is undefeated.
6. A Deep Love for Jollof (and an Even Deeper Distrust of the Ghanaian Version) Find the person bringing their own pepper sauce to a dinner party — that’s a Lagosian keeping the spice levels right.
7. Endless Lagos Stories From danfo driver dramas to NEPA woes, a Lagosian abroad will slip “Back in Lagos…” into any conversation, even if you were just talking about the weather.
Final Word: Lagosians don’t just live in a city; the city lives in them. No matter where they go, that Lagos energy — vibrant, hustling, unapologetically loud — will always shine through.
Lagos may be a bustling megacity filled with skyscrapers, traffic jams, and tech startups — but beneath the modern chaos lies a deep layer of tradition and belief. Whether you call them myths, old wives’ tales, or spiritual truths, superstitions in Lagos still influence how people act every single day. Here are 10 you’ll hear whispered in buses, markets, and even corporate boardrooms. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
1. Don’t Pick Money on the Road Many Lagosians believe money found on the street could be “spiritually trapped” to bring bad luck or even cause mysterious illness.
2. Whistling at Night Calls Snakes or Evil Spirits From Isale Eko to Mushin, elders warn children never to whistle at night — or risk attracting unwanted supernatural visitors.
3. Sweeping Someone’s Feet Brings Bad Luck In some Lagos households, accidentally sweeping across someone’s feet means they’ll never get married — unless they grab the broom and sweep back.
4. Don’t Lend Salt or Palm Oil at Night Believed to bring financial hardship or spiritual depletion, some people in Lagos will refuse politely if you ask for these items after dark.
5. Pregnant Women Shouldn’t Walk at Night This stems from the belief that wandering spirits might harm unborn children or swap them for “spirit babies.”
6. Eating in Public at Night Attracts Evil Eyes Some elders believe late-night outdoor eating could make you spiritually vulnerable.
7. Itchy Palms Mean Money is Coming (or Going) Right palm itching? Expect money. Left palm itching? Money might be leaving you soon.
8. Don’t Kill a Wall Gecko in the House Some Lagosians believe geckos carry messages from the spiritual realm and killing them brings bad luck.
9. Rain on Your Wedding Day is a Blessing In Lagos culture, a downpour during weddings is often seen as a sign of divine favor and fruitfulness.
10. Never Sleep with Your Head Facing the Door Many believe it invites spiritual attacks or bad dreams — so most beds are positioned away from direct doorway alignment.
Conclusion Whether you believe them or not, these Lagos superstitions are more than just folklore — they’re part of the city’s cultural DNA. They connect the past with the present, reminding us that in Lagos, modern life and ancient beliefs walk side by side.
