Honestly, I have been hearing "Olodo Uprising" for the longest time, and I think it's high time we dissect it. 😂
I don hear am tire. E don reach time to dissect and operate on the matter.
So... serious question.
I'm in my serious mode now, so sit down, let's talk.
I'd have said grab popcorn, but it's not a movie. It might eventually turn into one sha, so just keep your popcorn close by. Shey e get? Eh ehn.
Let's go to the koko of the matter. Talk put head to head. Let's... forikori? 🤔
My Yoruba people, abeg help me. 😂
Anyways, let's not digress too much.
Let's get to the matter.
In my own perspective o, I don't think this conversation is as black and white as people make it seem.
There are two sides to this debate.
And before you drag me, hear me out. 😂
Yes, some people genuinely reward ignorance.
We've all seen it.
Someone confidently says something completely wrong, people laugh, repost it, make memes, and before you know it, the wrong information has travelled farther than the truth ever will.
That's dangerous.
But...
There's another side we don't talk about enough.
Some people aren't trying to celebrate ignorance.
They're celebrating authenticity.
Because tell me...
When did not knowing something become a crime?
When did "I don't know" become so embarrassing that people would rather confidently guess than honestly admit they're clueless?
The truth is, some people genuinely want to learn.
They're asking questions.
They're trying.
They're coming out raw, vulnerable, and with their insecurities exposed.
Then we attack them.
We laugh at them.
We call them names.
We make them trend for the wrong reasons.
And just like that...
We don't just kill the question.
We kill the confidence to ask the next one.
We kill curiosity.
We kill growth.
There's a huge difference between someone who says,
"I don't know. Can you teach me?"
and someone who says,
"I don't know, and I don't care."
One is ignorant.
The other is teachable.
Please don't confuse the two.
Maybe the real uprising isn't ignorance.
Maybe it's people finally becoming comfortable enough to admit they don't know everything.
And honestly...
I'd rather live in a world where people ask "stupid" questions than one where everyone pretends to know everything.
Because every expert you admire today was once the person who didn't know... but was humble enough to learn.
