As Nigerians, every year comes with its own peculiar mix of trends, drama, and shenanigans we passionately adopt—only to discard when the calendar flips.
With 2024 wrapping up, it’s time to reflect on the antics we’ve tolerated and declare, “E don do!” Let’s detox and leave these behind as we step into 2025 with fresh energy. Pull up a chair; it’s time to spill the tea!
1. Blaming the “Village People” for Everything
Not every setback is the handiwork of imaginary foes from your hometown. Sometimes, it’s your procrastination or poor planning. In 2025, let’s own our mistakes and leave distant relatives out of it. Accountability is key!
2. Botched Enhancements
Ladies, if you’re considering body enhancements, please do your homework. The era of questionable curves must end. In 2025, let’s embrace quality work—or better yet, self-love. No more “unfinished homework” body shapes, abeg!
3. Ridiculously Priced Aso-Ebi
Wedding committees, please! How did we let aso-ebi prices become this outrageous? ₦200k for one outfit? In 2025, we’re opting out. Ankara from home is the vibe, and if you’re upset, don’t invite us. Savings first!
4. Traffic Complaints on Repeat
Lagosians, must we all suffer because of your traffic woes? The endless rants about Third Mainland Bridge and Ikorodu roads have reached their limit. In 2025, let’s focus on finding solutions—or moving to calmer cities like Ibadan.
5. Overzealous WhatsApp Group Admins
Family group admins, biko, take it easy! The endless broadcasts, unsolicited health tips, and guilt-tripping forwards have overstayed their welcome. In 2025, let’s keep it simple: “Happy New Year” and maybe a family photo. No more salt-water cures!
6. Oversharing Online
Not every fight with bae or private moment belongs on TikTok. And no, we don’t need to see leaked WhatsApp chats or sextapes. In 2025, let’s value privacy. Some stories are better kept between you and your phone.
7. Internet Prophets
We’re done with the emotionally manipulative posts that demand “Amen” for blessings. Spirituality doesn’t need retweets. Let’s prioritize genuine faith over performative prayers in 2025.
Ready for 2025?
This is our chance to move forward without the drama, chaos, or unnecessary noise. If you insist on dragging these habits into the new year, just know we’re watching—and judging—with our full chest.
Here’s to a brighter, smoother, and drama-free 2025. Cheers! 🎉
