Alexa, play “Omah Lay, take my babe away”

Also: These visa rejection stories are hilarious. [View in browser](=.Z7Y5c9kkDuV5uTw0iVDZycegmXjImc5o-Fw6KJfdmKg) [Zikoko Daily] 22 February, 2024 Hey . In case this gist hasn’t reached your side, lemme fill you in. Omah Lay recently had a concert in London. Basic stuff, but then he invited a girl on stage, and the ensuing dance would give any Nigerian mother a heart attack. To make matters worse, the girl’s “boyfriend” was in the crowd, watching as she lived out every fan girl’s dreams. 😢 My moral of the story? Don’t trust Nigerian men. I thought Omah Lay specialised in afro-depression. When did rocking someone’s babe become his modus operandi?!

How did this story happen? The woman is my mum's friend. I was chasing another story, but that was taking forever, so I had to emergency jump on her. I talked to them because my mum always mentioned how her friend used to say marriage wasn’t her priority at all — they've known each other since they were teenagers. Now, she's super successful, and her marriage is one of those that look perfect, from the outside sha. Does that mean you already knew most of their story? No, I made some new discoveries during the interview. I didn't know they went the surrogacy route. I also didn't know just how old they were when they got married. My mum used to say she was in her late 30s. I've also never met their children. I don't think they've ever stepped foot in Nigeria, even though the couple are based here. I was curious about that, but it was hard enough to get them to talk about the births at all. What's your favourite thing about their story? I've been feeling lowkey unsure recently about how much I prioritise career over love. Reading their internal thought process made me feel more confident about it.
