motivational quotes

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.

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.

“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.

“Life is short, call your ex”

You only live once, but you can always mess up many times.

“There’s rice at home, but we both know you don’t want to eat rice. Go and buy food.”

Follow your stomach and your pocket will follow suit

.

“Don’t be the patient dog. Hunger will finish you.”

The patient dog doesn’t get the fattest bone. In fact, the patient dog gets nothing. We shouldn’t even need to spell this one out.

“Your next of kin won’t rate your struggle. Spend that money”

Your next of kin will probably be at South flexing your money if anything happens to you. Better spend your money now.

“You better to save, it’s that same money that’ll save you”

We said you should spend all your money, but you should save too sha. The economy might be too bad to save anything, but we believe in you. Those savings might ultimately be your saviour.

“Life isn’t so hard. You’re the one who wants to blow”

Ever wondered how stress-free your life would be if you weren’t trying to make it by force?

“Don’t take nonsense from anybody, including your employer”

You might lose your job, but that doesn’t matter because bad energy must stay far away.

“Never Give Up”

What if the person is doing rubbish? Is it not better to just give up and sleep?

“Everyone is special”

This one is a big lie. If everyone is special, then what does “special” itself mean? Sometimes, we need to call the bluff of these aspire-to-maguire speakers.

“Follow your passion”

This one sounds cute until you realise that Dangote has no passion for cement. Also, it’s rich people advice. Our own theory is “follow your stomach, make hunger no kill you”.

“You can be whatever you want to be”

This isn’t bad advice per se, but we’re sure it’s the kind of problematic advice that made someone like Buhari keep trying until he became the president of Nigeria. We all know how that story ends.

“What’s meant for you will not pass you by”

Maybe if life was a movie. But in real life, if you don’t hold what’s meant for you tight, sorry for you.

“The patient dog eats the fattest bone”

LMAO. Why should you end up with a bone after so much patience? Is it not better for the patient dog to just go and buy food?

“No girl will choose six packs over six cars. So stop gyming and work hard.”

There are millions of people who don’t work out and are still poor. It’s better to have one, at least.

“What an elder can see sitting down, small children cannot see from on top of a tree”

If we call this witchcraft now, they’ll say we should keep quiet. What else can make an elder see better than a child?
