    Social media celebrity, Idris Okuneye AKA Bobrisky, will be away from social media for six months, following a harsh prison sentence that was handed down after she pleaded guilty to naira mutilation charges.

    #BobriskyOnceSaid: 10 Iconic Sayings from “Mummy of Lagos”. Bobrisky quotes

    Bobrisky’s absence on the internet has stirred a flurry of reactions from Nigerians, with many noting that he was scapegoated by the authorities. Fans and supporters have also revived the #BobriskyOnceSaid challenge as a way of showing support for the embattled socialite.

    We compiled some of the most iconic quotes that made the cut.

    “Any event wey me and you jam, I go dey beat you”

    For when you have an op that’s trying you.

    “This life wey I come, I go enjoy myself till I die”

    In essence, YOLO.

    “I’m quite expensive, I’m not for everybody”

    This is the public announcement you need to dissociate yourself from poverty and its siblings.

    “Good girl no dey pay o, hope you know that?”

    An important reminder in this wicked, wicked world.

     [ad]

    “Ehn, ehn, don’t worry, I’m about to take over”

    Ran into some good fortune? You won the lotto? Your sugar daddy came through? This is the only acceptable quote to announce you’re in your rich-bitch era.

    “You’ll not wait and hear from the other side of the story, you’ll just open your mouth like pigs”

    Objectivity is always key.

    “Who is your bro? Your bro is in Yaba collecting treatment”

    Take this Bobrisky quote as the street version of familiarity breeds contempt.

    “If you come and greet me, I’ll greet you. If you comot eye say you no see me, I no see you. I know your papa before?”

    The biggest women-only festival in Lagos is BACK.
    Get your tickets here for a day of fun, networking and partayyyyy

    And that’s on period. In this life, only regard those who regard you.

    “We’re not seeing your face. Must you see my face?”

    This quote will come in handy if you’re a content creator who’s constantly hopping on live sessions.

    “A lot of you don’t know how to keep secrets. Your mouth is too loose. At the end of the day, you tell people about it.”

    Basically, learn to mechionu.

    “Who die of insult? Have you ever seen anybody on this earth that die of insult?”

    Let people run their mouth, as long as it doesn’t affect your bread.

  • Everything We Know About Bobrisky’s Naira Abuse Conviction

    Idris Okuneye AKA Bobrisky, a popular Nigerian socialite, was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday, April 3, 2024, for mutilating some naira notes. On April 12, 2024, a Federal High Court in Lagos sentenced her to six months in jail without the option of a fine. 

    What was her crime?

    The EFCC spokesman, Mr Dele Oyewale, confirmed the arrest and stated that Bobrisky was arrested on four different counts to which she pleaded guilty. During the judgment, Justice Abimbola Awogboro mentioned that Naira mutilation has become a menace that’s damaging the country’s image. Bobrisky’s sentence was to make an example of how Naira Abuse will be treated going forward 

    But is the sentence fair?

    Naira Abuse has long been a criminal offence in Nigeria, but spraying naira notes when dancing has also been a part of the Nigerian culture for ages; this law hasn’t seen much enforcement in the past. Before Bobrisky, on February 1, 2023, the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) arrested Nigerian actress, Oluwadarasimi Omoseyin, after a video of her spraying and stepping on the new Naira notes circulated on the internet. Just like Bobrisky, she bagged six months of imprisonment. 

    According to the 2007 CBN Act, the punishment for naira abuse — which includes spraying, stamping, engraving, selling and mutilation — is a fine of ₦50,000 or six months imprisonment. For a first-time offender, members of the public believe that the sentence with no option of a fine was made out of bias, but Oluwadarasimi Omoseyin was also sentenced with the only difference being that she got the option, of a fine because she was a first-time offender who pled guilty. She was eventually granted bail on February 15 2024, but for Bobrisky the case is not the same.

    Although Bobrisky is also a first-time offender and has pled guilty with a promise to change and use his platform to educate people about the naira abuse, he wasn’t granted bail. This begs to question if there is some sort of bias behind the decisions of the court.

    [ad]

    When did this one start?

    The police have started taking Naira Abuse more seriously, rounding up more offenders in the last several months than they ever have before. One Simon Idio was arrested on February 12, 2024, for selling the naira. Who knows what might come next?

  • How To Make Your First Million Naira From Celebrity Tattoos

    “A person who does not know where his mates are succeeding will just die for nothing.” African proverb (and if it’s not African, take it like that).

    While you are here crying out of poverty, people are cashing out seriously with very little work. How? By tattooing the face of a celebrity on their bodies!

    Oh please don’t be scared. Me I know how you can do it that you will cash out.

    Let me teach you.

    a. Identify the celebrity that will be your cash machine.

    Important qualities to look for:

    b. Find those ones that are very active on social media. Any small matter, they chook mouth.

    If you pick someone like Genevieve Nnaji, I’m sorry, but you have just wasted a portion of your body that you cannot get back.

    c. Target Yoruba socialites (Don’t make me mention anybody’s name, plis), Yoruba Nollywood actors and actresses. You know, find your way into that circle.

    d. You can also target politicians or Nigeria as a whole. You may not get money oh, but at least you will have donated your body to a worthless cause.

    Exhibit 1.
    Exhibit 2. Imagine carrying such a problematic coat of arms of your body forever. Hmm. It will take God’s intervention to separate you from jagajaga.

    But enough of this shalaye. HOW DO YOU CASH OUT FROM YOUR TATTOOS??

    Word on the street is that a celebrity tattoo can fetch you between N100K to N1m. Imagine that. ONE MILLION NAIRA. Just to do this?

    Bobrisky Finally Transfers N1 Million To Lady Who Tattooed His Face On Her  Back

    Best believe I’ll cover myself completely in like 68 tattoos. N1m x 68 = N68m. That is, N68,000,000.

    Me, after I draw the tattoos.

    But your village people can manifest at that time sha. And things can go wrong for you, just like it did for my madam here.

    Apparently, she got a tattoo of Bobrisky. While she was waiting for cashout so she can go and ball, her father disowned her. As if her condition could not get even poorer, Bobrisky did not acknowledge her.

    Alexa, play ‘Problem.’

    But her guardian angel did not overdose on Fufu. Bobrisky finally responded.

    Reaction
    And just like that, my good sis is a millionaire.

    Another good example is my homegirl, MandyKiss, who tattooed Naira Marley on her leg and became an ‘internet sensation’.

    How so? Naira Marley followed her back on Instagram! If that is not enough clout, then I don’t know what it is.

    So, there you have it. Pick your target and tattoo away.

    Wizzy baby.

  • Bobrisky Worse Than Ebola Virus? I’ve Got Questions

    Bobrisky, Nigerian transgender and self proclaimed Nigerian barbie, has been declared to be a viral disease by the Federal Government.

    According to Otunba Segun Runsewe, the Director-General of National Centre for Arts and Culture, Bobrisky is worse than the Ebola Virus and could be carrying infections that would affect any woman that shares a public toilet with Bobrisky.

    This statement is coming from the same person who said Bobrisky is a national disgrace and threatened to deal with her.

    Apparently, Otunba Segun Runsewe is more serious than we thought. Now, the next phase of his plans for Bobrisky is to warn tourists off.

    But, I have got some questions about this feud that has been brewing for the past months.

    • Considering that the Ebola Virus was an epidemic disease that killed more than 11,000 people during its outbreak in 2014-2016 and we’ve yet to hear that Bobrisky killed anyone, isn’t that statement a bit presumptuous?
    • Isn’t this total focus on Bobrisky by Otunba Segun Runsewe a teeny weeny bit insensitive to aspects of arts, culture and tourism that are being left ignored?
    • Is Bobrisky really the main problem that Nigeria has right now?
    • Okuneye Idris Olarenwaju has been known as Bobrisky for years, with no qualms, why is she suddenly being seriously tagged person non grata?

    My conclusion:

    There’s a lot to turn tourists away from visiting Nigeria- and it’s not Bobrisky.

    Most of the foreigners being warned off Bobrisky are actually used to mingling with transgenders, crossdressers and other folks of the LBTQ community. So who exactly are you warning off, Otunba Segun Runsewe?

    Yes, we know that the Same-Sex Prohibition Act in Nigeria criminalizes any gay marriage and any persons found guilty will be jailed for 14 years. But, so far, Bobrisky has yet to say she is homosexual or married to someone of the same gender.

    Furthermore, if the FG can wage war on homosexuality, using Bobrisky as a scapegoat, can they also direct that same energy to ridding the country of the insecurity and economical issues?
