My people, my people! Over the week, we gathered some very interesting insights and updates on our WhatsApp status. We jumped on the “We Listen, We Don’t Judge” challenge and asked our viewers and customers for their stories and insights. True to our word, we listened and didn’t judge—though some of you actually need small judgment! The entries ranged from relationship wahala and money matters to friends and life in Russia.
Check out a few of the entries and the witty comments we have for them. Enjoy!
- “Girls should wise up, there is no serious relationship in Russia.”
Response: Hmm, Mr. or Miss, no be say relationship no dey; you just have to search very well and open your eyes.
- “I think people don’t know how rich some people are in this town. My net worth just crossed 35 million USD today. I am indeed grateful.”
Response: Nawa o! Whatever your aim was, rest assured you achieved it. I speak for many, we will not be oppressed, depressed or pressured.
- “Esolutions, please I’m tired of Russian men. I was told that when it comes to matters of the heart and love, count out Nigerian men in Moscow. Please I would love to know if there is any lady that wants us to be friends and connect with each other. We will make the best companions before loneliness kill person.”
Response: Auntie, don’t worry, okay?! 2025 might just be your year; keep searching for Mr. Right. As for the lady friend part, hmmm my mind is thinking something, but I will not talk.
- “Dear men! VET properly any woman you want to marry in Moscow before you go ahead with the marriage plans to avoid heat attack in the future.”
Response: Speak louder for the people at the back, abeg! Una dey hear? Check whoever you are marrying well o, whichever part of the world you are choosing from sef, make sure you are making the right choice.
- “Life is supposed to have ups and downs; Russia is the downs. Every day you should ask yourself: if you were to show your people back home how you live, would you be ashamed or proud of yourself? Have a nice weekend, my beautiful people; take care of yourselves.”
Response: Omo, this one weak me! Imagine calling a whole Russia ‘downs’? A lot of people might not agree with this point of view. We all know that life is not always rosy, and it doesn’t matter which part of the world you are in. The prayer is that your hustle should bring results.
- “People would rather share NSPPD link than share life-changing updates with their friends.”
Response: True talk. Friends should share updates with each other, another person’s rising does not equal your own fall. If you have information that can improve someone’s life, don’t hold back.
- “I find the Africans in Moscow so annoying. Full of motivational speakers.”
Response: If you are African for Moscow and you dey form motivational speaker, this person dey greet you o! You can respond with a bombastic side eye or you can help them with real life tips…😂

- “I contracted HIV here in Russia and I’m proud to say I have given it to 4 Moscow big boys. I trusted my cheating boyfriend and what I have to show for it is this illness; well I’m not done sharing it yet.”
Response: Eiiii! We’re supposed to judge you o; it’s giving serious wickedness! Haba, Auntie abeg forgive. Another lesson for the men, please screen who you hang out with o. A word is enough for the wise.
- “Are you guys really content about life in Russia or are you just pretending? I tried being in Russia but the atmosphere is just something else for me; relocating to Germany next week!”
Response: Food for thought! Remember people’s experiences are not always the same, but if e tire you, Germany is another option, thank you for the update uncle/aunty!
That’s it folks! Remember to make the right choices. God bless our hustle—till next time!
