#ComicTruthByKoffi: Is This Truly The Dumbest Generation? [Pt2]
Yesterday, we brought you 9ice’s reactions to Koffi’s Letter to Kiss Daniel, and we did mention that another edition of the open letters drops today, Wednesday.
The comedian has again delivered, this time he continues the old incomplete letter- Is this truly the dumbest generation?- Koffi Tha Guru [PT1]. You might want to check that out to understand where the story started.
…They add no value to themselves but buy data and browse fire! Ngwanu,Who stopped moral studies in schools? Who paid a ‘machinery’ to sit for their son’s jamb exam. Who stole the money meant for the rehab ofAraromi pry school, sent their daughter to obodo to come back with a fake accent and rule our airwaves as an OAP? (subject for another day).
Most importantly who kept quiet and looked on whilst the kid in Agege was robbed of his right of emancipation? Who gave birth to Omo Wobe? Who turned Gani into an Area boy? Why is Sidi an olosho?
Posterity came knocking and gave us a second chance yet our ogas at the top watch on as other advanced countries seize the opportunity to better their kids with modern tech whilst our boys only advance in 19 with the lappy.
My next gen is all over social media interacting, relating but no one is giving them the direction to save the future instead they are telling me to learn Chinese and survive the future of business rather than developWaZoBia. Chemistry graduate I am but not one pharmaceutical producing company in Naija to employ my class of 2000 from Unilag.
Boys are not smiling so they took the acquired knowledge to refine their own petrol in Ikorodu. In other climes our kids with the brilliant rapport they share online will have been directed purposefully to earn this country a place in the world with their brilliance but Alhaji has to remain head of the ministry even though he has no idea what a 4G phone can accomplish.
Igwe must continue to give command of what must be (as it used to be) till all dies like NTA Tales by moonlight. Bruce Willis is still acting so Baale does not see the reason why that young boy in his community must be sponsored to brush up his Animation skills and redirect our music videos from nudity and soft porn.
The future is dead if the dead minded continue to direct the future. Bob Marley said “emancipate yourselves from Mental slavery.”, what quote is the new school Nigerian Artiste sharing for FREE on the internet? The classroom has failed because Tisha is struggling to survive too but should Man must ‘wack‘ be the reason we invest in bottles of Hennessy rather than sponsor every blogger to do….

Bimpe Akintunde warns Nigerians against scammers impersonating her on WhatsApp
Bimpe Akintunde, the Nollywood actress, has raised an alarm over a fake WhatsApp account created in her name to scam unsuspecting individuals.
The film star took to her Instagram story to share screenshots of the impersonator, posing as her to solicit money from her followers.
Akintunde expressed her frustration and disappointment, cursing the scammer for attempting to profit from her hard work. She warned the public to be cautious of the impersonator on any media platform.
The actress urged her fans to help report the scammer’s WhatsApp and bank accounts.
She also prayed that God should keep such fraudulent individuals away from her and her loved ones.
“What a morning. Tell me how this country wants to be great, when a lot of people are struggling, working hard to build a name and brand, and boom, one person will take their pictures and name only to be defrauding people up and down,” she wrote.
“Who gave birth to such a child? Useless children, may God keep them away from us.
“Please disregard any message from anyone, either in your DM or WhatsApp, asking you to send money.
“Please, it not me. I do not own this above number. I would appreciate it if we could find a way to report both the WhatsApp and the Opay account.”

Davido advises black Americans not to relocate to Nigeria, says ‘the economy is in shambles’
Davido, the Afrobeats star, has advised black Americans against relocating to Nigeria, citing the country’s economic challenges.
In an appearance on The Big Homies House podcast, the singer shared his thoughts on the struggles bedeviling Nigeria, stating, “It is not cool back home. The economy is in shambles”.
Davido also mentioned Nigeria’s struggles with bad leadership, a high exchange rate, and skyrocketing oil prices, which are negatively impacting the country.
“It is not cool back home. The economy is in shambles. I do my part, I am an ambassador. When I go home and I am filming, I am no going to show the bad parts,” he said.
“I am talking about the situation in the country. Now the exchange rate is messed up, a lot of stuffs are not going well.
“The economy is just not good enough. The oil price is too high. Imagine the country that produces oil, paying more for it than a country importing oil.”
Despite the challenges, Davido emphasised the entertainment industry’s positive impact on Africa’s global image.
“Regardless, entertainment is one of the thing that has made Africa look good. We do not have the best leader, that is a fact,” he said.

US actor Jussie Smollett’s conviction for staged attack overturned
American actor, Jussie Smollett’s conviction for fabricating a racist and homophobic hate crime in Chicago in 2019 was overturned Thursday on due process grounds.
The Illinois Supreme Court ruled that Smollett, 42, should not have been charged again by prosecutors after a prior agreement saw over a dozen original charges dismissed.
It is the latest twist in Smollett’s legal saga, which began with his initial claim in January 2019 that he had been attacked on a Chicago street.
The gay African-American actor, then a cast member of the hit TV series “Empire,” said two masked men assaulted him late at night, shouting slurs and placing a noose around his neck.
Smollett staged the attack after receiving a legitimate piece of hate mail which he felt was not taken seriously by his employers, prosecutors said.
But those charges were suddenly dropped in March 2019, under an arrangement in which Smollett forfeited his $10,000 bond and agreed to do community service.
The dismissal was met with anger by some city officials, including then-mayor Rahm Emanuel, who argued $10,000 was only a fraction of the actual investigation costs.
A special prosecutor eventually took over the case and several charges were reinstated.
Smollett, who has always maintained his innocence, was found guilty in December 2021.
Though he was sentenced to 150 days in prison with 30 months on probation, he was released pending the outcome of his appeal.
He was also ordered to repay $120,106 to the Chicago Police to cover their investigation costs.
The case had initially sent shock waves through a deeply divided country still plagued by racial and sexual discrimination, and the actor had immediately received support from celebrities in political and cultural circles.
The Illinois Supreme Court ruling said that bringing the charges a second time after “the defendant has performed his part of the bargain” represented “a due process violation.”
“We therefore reverse (the) defendant’s conviction,” the ruling said.
