I don't know about this, but Ycee is not 29 years please... 1993 is not 29 years mr blogger.
As a writer, you should verify every information first.

It was an error. He is actually 33 years old.

This whole rapmoney take is completely ridiculous and idealistic. The writer is looking at the world through a textbook lens, completely forgetting that social media and entertainment exist for escapism. People deal with real-life stress every day; they log online to switch off their brains, not to read academic papers.

The writer fails to understand that even our supposed institutions of higher learning are churning out quacks who act no better than the internet stars they criticize. Look at a top science university like FUTO professors, lecturers, and students alike believing in a "miracle water-producing tree." If our top academics are pushing half-baked theories and falling for unverified myths, it proves a degree doesn't automatically equal critical thinking. Intellectualism is not for the majority, and it never will be, anywhere in the world.

Let’s be honest with ourselves: Nigerians whether intellectuals, highly educated, or completely uneducated all act the exact same way. The corruption, fraud, and tendency to cut corners cut across all levels of education. Having a degree doesn't change anyone's moral compass.

The sudden hate for creators like Peller is mostly just financial envy. Many educated people cannot attain his level of financial success despite their "good English" and degrees, so they direct their frustration at him under the guise of moral superiority.

Personally, I wouldn't allow my own kids to watch his content, but we cannot take away his hard work, consistency, and dedication. The truth is, many of the people complaining cannot even put a fraction of the time, stamina, and effort Peller puts into his craft into their own actual jobs.

Social media runs on an attention economy. He figured it out and worked hard for it. Stop hiding jealousy behind "intellectualism."

The post didn't make Peller the centrepiece. You are the one making Peller the centerpiece by your comments.

It should be renamed zombie uprising it became worse when the apc captured power.

But the owners of Facebook, tik tok , insta, Twitter etc are not complaining, why is ycee crying more than the bereaved.
Pls ycee and his likes shld rest in peace jorrr..
Social media is quiet big enough to contain every person out there.
Before you quote me , mind you that I don't even follow peller and his likes on social media, I follow those whom I believe their content actually worth it. You want them to start stealing, when they can easily make fortune from social media to feed themselves and their families.
Ycee go to hell if e pain you.

Face the topic and leave Peller out of it. Peller is not the centrepiece of the discussion.

What happened in 1984?

Most, if not all, are guilty of lack of patience to read.
If you want to get people to "read" nowadays, turn it into a movie.

Even if they turn the books into movies, people will still not watch.

Once the dopamine hits, it is too late to turn back.

SixSeven:
It's a book everyone should read but I don't think this generation will read it because it's too long I need shorts

I read that book 30 years ago

That same topic is actually very hard for you to comprehend, I see.

Few days ago, the internet went berserk following the statements made by a Nigerian rapper, Oludemilade Martin Alejo aka YCee on the Afropolitan Podcast. The rapper expressed concern that Nigerian internet culture currently rewards ignorance and shock value rather than academic or artistic excellence. He compared the rise of online viral stars to "Peller culture" and claimed society is accommodating "unintelligent and ignorant people.

Many Nigerians, especially the younger generations were rattled by his opinions, but we must face and accept the truth. For your information, YCee is just 29 years old, and could be said to miss the Gen Z age group by just one year or so. This means that he is not even in his middle age yet, but could boldly stand up and say the bitter truth.

Our internet culture, truth be told, does not promote academic intelligence and excellence in our young ones. It oftentimes promotes mediocrity and people with little or no societal value. If a young person invents or introduces a technology that could be developed to boost the living standard of the society, it fades away within 48 hours or less on the internet. But Nigerians become so focused and vibrate with so much energy that can power the National Grid when it involves the nude video of an actress or a content creator. We dwell so much on trivial issues. If a so-called content creator with big ass and big boobs cries online that she is broke, Nigerians don't mind requesting for her account details to send money. Even the ones that cannot give their parents 2000 Naira. But just post a young lad that invented something worthy and call on people to donate to him so that such technology could be improved, and watch how people quickly slide to another video online.

The truth is that the internet culture in Nigeria does not promote excellence in academics, science and technology, innovations, etc., rather it promotes nudity, fake life, trivial discussions, and things that destroy our culture and traditions.

Peller might not be the centerpiece or theme of YCee's statements. Peller could just be a metaphor for such internet practice and belief. So it is not worthy for people to make it seem as if it was a direct attack on Peller. We should always see such statements from a deeper side. Truth is a bitter pill.

This twerking culture on social media platforms that our young women have come to embrace actually started among the black American females. They sold that culture to us. It wasn't ours. You don't see Asian women twerking on the internet. It is always black American women and their counterparts in Nigeria (mostly Nigeria), Ghana, Kenya, etc. It is the same reason why the black internet culture in America promotes gun violence, drugs, and nude twerking.

Sometime ago, one young man in Nigeria trended for screaming one thing or the other while selling fish pie. Fish pie! Can a young man in Nigeria trend that way for inventing a robot that can do house chores? Which one is more difficult to achieve? To scream and sell fish pie or to invent a robot that can do house chores? Your answer should be able to tell your level of reasoning.

In conclusion, YCee's podcast goes beyond Peller. It is more about how Nigeria internet rewards mediocrity over excellence.

I have always maintained that blacks have genetic issue

1984 is upon us again. It is to the government's benefit that there are many ignorant people. They are the easiest to control.

The intellectuals would ask too many questions and we don't want that. I just posted a few days on the 90s to 2000s thread that music lost its consciousness in the 90s and I joked that why won't the politicians who oppress you be dancing with you when they know the lyrics to the songs these days are meaningless and do not ask them questions

Even the taste of music.

How did Nigerian youth from loving styl plus,2 face that would sit down and pen down reasonable lyrics to idolizing OZEBA OZEBA OZEBA

That pie seller irritated me, I don't know what attracted him to people, I don't even understand his content.Ycee no lie, walahi, Peller tooo, as in. It's well

osuofia2:
Truly, ycee is right on peller, how the guy became internet sensation is still a mystery,

1984 Is a novel by George Orwell, set in a (alternate future) dystopian England where the people are ruled by a dictatorial government that controls what they know and how they know it.

When people say that we are bringing 1984 to reality, what they mean is that the 'elites' of the world are keeping people distracted by entertainament and other frivolous things, rather than letting them have knowledge, and thus the means to change their circumstances which would be to the disadvantage of the 'elite'

Hmmmm

1984 is first and foremost about a police state where your every move is monitored by the government via telescreen and the thought police

Then it is about a dystopia where the government literally controls reality (oceania was always at war with EastAsia

Finally it is about a state where you are not allowed to think and are forced to cobform

Social media unfortunately is being used to manipulate reality in real time and push propaganda

Right now in different ways we are monitored. Your phone your TV, your devices all running telemetry on you

That English is called AAVE


https://www.tiktok.com/video/7626184201443872014

The history behind it is white man control to the black in America. That's their pidgin


https://www.tiktok.com/video/7102272736457739566

AAVE is just trying to justify low I Q in English.

See we have our own Vernacular, Pidgin, which we proud of. Most countries, even francophones have their own French vernacular But No professor can come and justify as structured or make seem as something standard. It's not.

African American should learn to speak and write properly and not put themselves down and try to justify it as Black liberation.

It is alarming because of the influence it has on the upcoming generation. the younger ones will think you dont have to make sense or do something productive to make money. Critical thinking, good skills, intellectual and educative content will be a thing of the past. And our goverment will be the biggest beneficiary coz you dont need to do much to impress an olodo, Just buy one luxury car and start spraying money like a fool and a community of olodo will carry you like a god. Just imagine we have an olodo like Cubana chief priest as a senate president. Just imagine!!

English as a language has several dialects,most of which are weird.

America in particular, there are all sorts of dialects of english there among the whites alone that would sound strange and funny and indechiperable to Nigerians

Also, our Nigerian accent is considered weird too.

70s - early 2000s black americans didnt have this accent. Is a recent thing. You cant even read their comments.

Ahayalift:
You've made good points, very well said.
Actually, it's all connected to End Time. Many have also not realized that the Iran American War and Trump's recent Reactions was Prophecied to be the very last thing that would make JESUS to Appear. See the bolded part of: https://www.nairaland.com/8699253/iran-american-israel-prophesy-ushers

This! Is what olodo uprising is all about! They will not talk about things that move humanity, they only talk about prophecy and saving people who doesn't need saving. People only want to live well; dignify lives!

Everything disgusting, demeaning, deplorable, reprehensible and depressing about African-American culture that people love to hate was fully embraced by Nigerians. Infact Nigerians have turned to akata both males and females. Those Nigerians that used to abstain from anything akata have come to realize that an average akata these days are better behaved than their Nigerian counterparts.

The men are better off marrying akata women than the pretentious hookupians that litter the Nigerian space. Daughters of Jesus on Sundays but full-time love vendors in secret.
