    Social Media Roundup: Millenials vs Gen Z, Invictus Obi and Other Stories

    Hi guys! Trust you had a great week. While you’re going about your weekend plans, take a moment to sit back and relax as we bring you the many trends that have been making the rounds across social media.

    Millenials vs Gen Z

    Social media was abuzz with Millenials vs Gen Z drags and banter this weekend. The battle was triggered by a Zikoko article in which some Gen Zs freely shared their thoughts about Nigerian Millenials. But Nigerian Millenials took it personally.

    "Most of them were neglected as children and now they are 8-year-olds in adult bodies with access to adult money. It would be cute if it was not so scary sometimes."https://t.co/pCVw4NETfN

    — Zikoko (@zikokomag) February 18, 2021

    Here are some of the best bits.

    The endpoint on this gen Z test is returning positive https://t.co/eh5dwJhOFx

    — Babájídé Dúróshọlá (@Babajiide) February 19, 2021

    Gen Z: Excuse me, are you the last on the queue?

    Millennial: I will never be the last in Jesus name.

    — Ichie Holy Sauce 💦💦💦 (@beardlesskingg) February 19, 2021

    Just sent a link to my GenZ colleague to help me download a video from Twitter so I can use it to drag GenZ. She said:
    Moe are you not seeing this irony?
    😂

    — Moe (@Mochievous) February 19, 2021

    The most glaring thing about this millennial/gen z fight is gen Z seem to think every generation is "millennial".

    Cause some of the jokes are for baby boomers.

    Millennial: how are you

    Whose side are you on?

    #BelikeNgoziChallenge

    During the week, Nigeria’s former Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala was appointed the 7th Director General (DG) of the World Trade Organisation (WTO). This saw her become the first woman and first African to lead the organisation.

    LifeBank founder, Temie Giwa-Tubosun initiated the #BelikeNgoziChallenge to celebrate NOI’s landmark WTO appointment.

    Thanks to Temi @temite & all my wonderful sisters who dressed up in Ankara yesterday.Thank you for all your messages of support.I’m delighted&honored to see so many getting the “gele” right.Please let me know who won the challenge. #AnkaraArmy #BeLikeNgoziChallenge #NoiGoesToWTO https://t.co/bl3DHQ8vFQ

    — Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala (@NOIweala) February 16, 2021

    The challenge featured people imitating NOI’s trademark dressing and uploading the pictures for a shot at clinching the N100,000 prize. And the rather intricate gele tying process was a subject of discussion among social media users.

    Please remind me NEVER to disrespect mum Iweala’s gele! 😑

    Invictus Obi Gets 10-year Jail Sentence

    Obinwanne Okeke, alias Invictus Obi, was on Tuesday sentenced to ten (10) years in prison by a US federal court for masterminding an $11 million wire fraud scheme between 2015 and 2019.

    Invictus Obi Gets 10 Years in Jail Nearly 5 Years After Making Forbes Cover Page

    This marked another moment of ignominy for the former Forbes 30 under 30 honoree since his arrest by the FBI in August 2019.

    Several people across social media reacted to the news of his jail sentence with differing opinions.

    When Obinwanne Okeke (invictus Obi) was flaunting illegal money, friends were all over him, even Forbes recognized him.

    Now that owo palaba ti segi, no one can boldly come out to say “he’s my friend”.

    My dear, owo epo laraye nba ni la. ⚠️

    — Lola Okunrin (@lollypeezle) February 17, 2021

    HOW YOU FIGHT CORRUPTION

    SUSPECT: Obinwanne Okeke 'Invictus Obi'

    CRIME: Computer-based intrusion fraud scheme that caused $11m losses to victims

    ARRESTED: August 6, 2019

    SENTENCED: February 16, 2021

    TOTAL DAYS: 561 days

    Nigeria can learn something from this.

    How Nigerian youths can get rich legitimately. – Invictus Obi https://t.co/1oWI3JN0Dy

    — E-dub ✊🏿 (@official_edub) February 16, 2021

    The painful thing about Invictus Obi is that he was going to events giving motivational speeches to people struggling to make it legally while he was still doing illegal deals. Wow.

    Such boldness.

    — Lola Okunrin (@lollypeezle) February 17, 2021

    We still have many Invictus Obi around us even on this app 😹😹, so Forbes celebrating him is not shocking to me. Na when dem catch thief we Dey know say dem be thief.

    — S.L.E.D.G.E 🔨 (@SledgeAma) February 17, 2021

    On the whole, Invictus Obi’s story serves as another reminder that fraud will never be a substitute for legitimate business.
