Every market day, Nigerians remind us that minding their own business can be nearly impossible. If they aren’t talking about a celebrity’s actions, they’re tightening the ropes to drag another one. Sometimes the drags are friendly, other times they’re downright vindictive and all shades of ugly.
After surfing the net and learning things that were never meant for me in the first place on the almighty X (formerly Twitter), I bring you five of the craziest drags by Twitter NG.
Sharon Ooja and the ‘multiply married’ billionaire husband
Sharon Ooja and her Odogwu Silencer got married in a lavish wedding that broke the internet just last month. While everyone gushed about how happy and beautiful the bride looked, how rich her husband is (a billionaire to be more exact), and how her friends & colleagues were going above and beyond to make her special day a blast, some unscrupulous few (like Stella Dimoko Korkus), dusted their Sherlock Holmes cap and got a shovel to dig up dirt.
The dirt they dug made us know against our will that her ‘Odogwu Silencer’ had been married three times before Sharon and his last wedding was in 2022. Others came onboard to add scarce petrol to the fire by offering unsolicited advice and making unnecessary predictions about how the marriage wouldn’t last. They claimed the husband is a serial groom who marries any woman he fancies on a whim and leaves them once he finds another who catches his eye.
The question on my mind is, ‘Is this really our business?’ It’s their marriage afterall.
Simi And The Swimsuit Case
Just imagine wearing a swimsuit at the swimming pool! That has to be outrageously wrong, and wearing it as a married woman, makes it an absolute sin.
This was the verdict of overzealously pious Nigerians, who dusted off their shoulder pads and expressed displeasure as Simi, the superstar wife of AG Baby, was caught red-handed in a video where she jumped on the 12345678 Trend in a pool party with friends, and had the ‘audacity’ to wear a SWIMSUIT!
The outrage was palpable… If I wasn’t trying to be very sarcastic, this would have been a laughable case that didn’t deserve attention.
Anyways, as a bad B, she released a video where she cried out with utmost repentance and complete remorse, promising to be of good behaviour going forward and would only be wearing kaftans at swimming pools henceforth.
Adekunle Gold, aka Simi’s husband, aka AG Baby, who wishes our country people would be ‘minding their business,’ has told us with his full chest to use all this energy to stream Simi’s new album, Lost and Found.
Theophilus Sunday and His Maybe ‘not’ Virgin Wife, Ashlee White
I would never understand when an off-shoulder dress became a testament to losing one’s virginity or being too impure to marry a minister.
If you think Nigerians dragged Marie Wiseborn, Moses Bliss’s wife, like an ‘I pass my neighbor Tiger gen,’ for being too covered up, you need to have seen the way they got their tyre and fuel, ready to burn every evidence of Ashlee White’s virginity, for wearing an off-shoulder dress.
If you ask me, how she chooses to dress is no one’s business.
Aunty Ada And Her Relationship Scandal
From Aunty Ada’s breakup with Ejikem that got Twitter in a frenzy to the most recent drags involving the said influencer, her friend, Matriarch (aka the wig lady), and a now-deceased cheating married sugar daddy, Valhalla.
Picture this, two X (Twitter) baddies who are friends: one (Aunty Ada) was in a relationship with a loudmouth, which she displayed on her feed, and was two-timing with a married sugar daddy whose name she never mentioned. The second baddie (Matriarch) was a hot chic who, at this time in their friendship, was being stalked and ‘tormented’ by a popular X philanthropist (aka sugar daddy Valhalla).
Matriarch spills it all out to Aunty Ada, including the name of the sugar daddy (Valhalla). Aunty Ada, who was in a love triangle with her boyfriend, Ejikem, and the said sugar daddy Valhalla, keeps quiet and soaks up all the information her friend shares.
After a while, Matriarch discloses that she would succumb and date the sugar daddy as the pressure was too much. It was at this point Aunty Ada took it upon herself to share the name of her sugar daddy, which was, uncoincidentally, the same as Matriarch’s.
Matriarch, seeing this as the ultimate betrayal, blocks Aunty Ada and decides to air their dirty laundry on the streets of Twitter for all to see and drag.
In the case of the Valhalla-Aunty Ada-Ejikeme-Matriarch Sexcapade, like a fellow ‘Twitterian’ called it, the drags are allowed, but in all honesty, did we need to know?
Married Misogynist, Kelvin Odanz and his 11k side chics
Someone great once said ‘there should be a separate spot in hell for people who commit stupid sins like being a side chick of a weird married man who gives you from 11k to 6k (Naira, oh, not the great Dollars). Like, honestly, think about it, why would you waste your body count on such a married man?
When his case came on the TL, it trended so much that, if Twitter NG could drag a person to hell and back, they were prepared to drag Odanz with so much joy.
If Nigerians didn’t mind their business in this case, it is somewhat justifiable.
At the end, I get to ask my fellow Nigerians, must they talk about it? Is it their business? Couldn’t they just look away? But I guess not.
Drags is the national pastime we can’t seem to quit and an opium that keeps us happy.
