A viral job interview video by content creator Peller, Burna Boy’s latest album release, and a charity event involving Peter Obi have sparked intense debate and engagement across social media platforms over the past week.
Peller, a popular TikToker and streamer, drew widespread attention after footage of a job interview for a cameraman position went viral. The video, posted on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook, showed a large crowd gathered outside a Lagos studio. Several applicants claimed to have Master’s degrees, igniting discussions about Nigeria’s employment crisis.
While some viewers saw humour in the situation, others expressed concern over the country’s economic challenges and the limited job prospects for highly educated citizens. The clip reportedly garnered over 2.6 million views and thousands of comments within hours.
In the entertainment space, Burna Boy made headlines with the release of his eighth studio album titled “No Sign of Weakness.” The 16-track album blends Afrobeats with elements of rock, country, and R&B. Speaking with Billboard France, Burna Boy described the project as introspective, focusing on growth and defying expectations.
“Despite everything that could have ended me, I’ve never shown weakness,” he said, adding that the album reflects his personal journey and strength. Tracks like “Bundle by Bundle,” “Update,” “Sweet Love,” and “Ta Ta Ta” were released as singles ahead of the album’s launch.
Meanwhile, former presidential candidate Peter Obi became the subject of political conversation after a video surfaced showing him serving food at a charity event. Obi clarified that the gesture was part of an initiative to promote compassion and responsible leadership.
He criticised the politicisation of the moment, noting that genuine service is often misunderstood in a system where leadership lacks a human-centred focus.
