Ace Nigerian comedian Bright Okpocha, professionally known as Basketmouth is not happy with Nigerian bloggers as they derive joy in only writing negative news about individuals especially celebrities.
The comedian noted that these bloggers are never interested in promoting any remarkable achievement by someone, but more interested in sniffing negative information and blowing it out of proportion
His words:
“Some Nigerian bloggers have mastered the art of turning negativity into premium content. One scandal trends for days, but genuine excellence barely gets a headline.
“Somebody builds something remarkable, breaks barriers, creates jobs, sells out shows, changes lives…we get silence. But let there be one embarrassing moment and suddenly every platform becomes CNN.
“At some point, we have to ask ourselves: when did celebrating mediocrity become our culture? When was the last time brilliance trended the way controversy does? When did we stop applauding people for winning?
“A society that only amplifies failure slowly teaches people that greatness is irrelevant. And that’s dangerous.
“We need to normalize celebrating achievements, discipline, creativity, consistency and hard work again. Not just gossips, outrage and downfalls”.
