Nigeria isn't lacking smart youths. Nigeria is breeding a generation trained daily to mistake motion for progress, and TikTok is the training ground. (I'm not against TikTok oo, me sef dey there)

Open ten random pages tagged "content creator" and count how many actually built something, a skill, a product, an argument, a story. Most of what you'll find is fifteen seconds of dancing, a face check with a trending sound, a skit that ends nowhere. It's not because these people are empty, but because the platform pays instantly for whatever gets a thumb to stop scrolling, and slowly for anything that takes real effort to make or understand.

That's the actual olodo uprising. It's not stupidity but speed. A whole generation getting fluent in content that requires zero thinking to consume, right at the exact age they should be building the thinking muscles that carry them for life. The dance isn't the enemy. The exam-week timeline filled with several fifteen-second dopamines instead of one hour of real study, that's the enemy, and it's winning because we don't see it as a threat.

You know I can be brutal at times,but Omo Baba Iwasanmi is just being honest. Every hour spent consuming content that demands nothing from you is an hour your brain spent practicing how to need nothing from itself. You don't fail your exams in the exam hall. You fail them one scroll at a time, months before, while telling yourself you'll "just watch one more."

I've been mapping which kinds of content train the brain to work versus which kinds train it to coast, and how a student can still enjoy the internet without becoming a product of it. That's a longer sit-down for another day.

Follow me to stay tuned... 🔥
