Ycee Questions the ‘Satire’ Behind Trending Akara Videos
Nigerian singer Ycee reacts to the viral and trending akara skits that emerged after the advice given by the First Lady of Nigeria, Oluremi Tinubu.
It can be recalled that the First Lady shared that Nigerians can fight unemployment by going into the akara or corn business to sustain themselves in the current economy.
Following her comments, content creator Gilmore made a skit about selling akara, to which Ycee reacted “To all of you yelling ‘satire.'”
“The entire idea of satire as a literary device is to use humor, be entertaining, while also criticizing and exposing the issue at the base of the content. Portraying ‘akara selling’ as a lucrative business where you’re taking payment in Solana and ETH, patronizing Polanco and shopping at HF, etc… where is the said ‘satire’ that you all are screaming?”

Nigerian businessman Blord advises young and single people regarding marriage.
He shared that they should not rush into marriage and that they need to be financially and emotionally ready, not just emotionally prepared, in order to sustain a marriage.
During a recent interview, the businessman shared “Don’t rush to marry. Take your time and make a good choice for a life partner. Don’t break ladies’ hearts because one day you are going to have a daughter, and what you did to other people’s daughters, someone else is going to do the same to your daughter.”
“So, take your time. Age doesn’t matter. Don’t marry who you will regret later because reversing marriage is very, very hard, especially when children are involved.”
