The moment you are born into this country, life is already leading you 2–0, and giving your best might not seem to be enough.
I mean, you’ve tried Crypto, Bet, and possibly the other one, but still nothing.
Why not spice up your niche with a little fooling?
This article explores people who have made a name for themselves recently through that means, and it will guide you on the different strategies you can use to achieve this elite status.
(1) Chef Dammy:
One of the issues with Nigerians is the herd mentality.
On May 15, 2023, Nigerian chef Hilda Bassey broke the GWR after cooking for 93 hours. The success saw a spike in the number of people trying to break a GWR.
After Hilda’s achievement, everyone remembered they owned pots and pans, but someone stood out: Chef Dammy, an undergraduate at the Federal University of Oye-Ekiti.
Despite her inability to translate her fame into tangible success, she epitomises the significance of peak fooling.
(2)Podcasters:
After surviving Ebola, Lassa fever, and COVID-19,.
Podcasting has been the latest pandemic Nigerians have had to face over the last year or two.
The requirements seem to be easy: mics and multiple empty brains spilling hot takes that end up going viral.
You would think the podcasts, which offer so much value, would top the charts.
WRONG!!!
It’s usually those with weird takes. Another win for fooling.
(3) Indaboski:
The pastor who lifts his members and throws them on the chair in the name of deliverance, lists his “powers,” amongst other insane, unorthodox things, seems to be the rave of the moment.
The level of fooling from this man is beyond. This is another example of someone thriving in their field by being different.
Peak Fooling always wins.
(4) Portable:
Like everyone else on that list, Portable set himself apart from his peers with his eccentric lifestyle.
Engaging in both online and offline fights, as well as other controversies, ensured that the artist remained a hot topic among Nigerians.
It appears that all those years of antics have finally paid off.
Portable has one of the biggest songs in Nigeria right now.
If this does not inspire you to take fooling seriously, I don’t know what will.
(5) My Brotherhood:
I will not say much. This is an option to explore, though.
(6) Tiktokers :
Another platform where fooling thrives
Gorilla walk???, the stuff they do on tiktok live, Dj chicken etc😂😂
(7) Music & Skits:
Baby Pianoooo!!!! 🤣😂😂😭
Carter Efe, a mix of terrible comedy and stupid music, is yet another example of how fooling can take you to the top.
Cook him all you want, but his gba music gets streams, he gets endorsement deals, etc.
Don’t let that foolish idea you have stop you. It might just be what you need to push you to the next level. Fooling does not always guarantee financial success, but it can help you get popular, and this popularity could be leveraged upon for greater opportunities.
