Topic: Nigerian street pranks and its effect. - page 3. (Read 462 times)

Guy this thing called PRANKING  honestly e no funny, sometimes i go dey ask my self where are we heading to in this country and the influencers are just making it worse for no reason. but another side where this prank tho is good is to see and know what we humans really are, AS THEY SAY NA CLOTHE DEY COVER PERSON you don't know whats inside.

You really do better observation of wetin dey go on for this content creator guys. I agree say them don dey go far and trust Nigerian government, dem go still put eyes for that place too as dem dey do for cryptocurrency. Them don dey over do, the pranks on family and couples don dey too much. I sabi say oyibos dey do something like that but na for shows wey dem organise well and with couples approval to reveal whatever.

I watch one wey prank somebody say land wey him buy another person don buy am and carry caterpillar enter begin dey do work there. Omo you need to see real fight for the site, the person wey rebuy am na force officer so him dey brandish gun say him go waste the original buyer wey dem dey prank.

Make dem easy so dat deir money go fit last, let Dem not cut deir joy short.

People who are content creator's this days are taking it too far, imagine pranking a soldier man, and we all know how hash a military men be, this contents creators some of them are doing this to disgrace some people relationship, families and even some blood related people, I didn't mean that it's not good but they are taking it to extend that it did not suppose to reach, many people have been in a relationship for more than 5 years but after them come to prank the people in a relationship, those people will get issue with each other, although I know that they having a lot of money from it and even having more followers but I think it should be reduced.

Last month I  watched more than 20 video that is recorded by untouchable content creator boys, and those videos are very sure video about untouchable, untouchable went and expose a native doctor secret by entering his shrine and scattered everything, and at the end it affect untouchable because the native doctor did him something that he will never forget in his life and untouchable was sick about many days and even his body his spelling and the native doctor even confess that he is the one that have hand in his body, the matter no be small matter oo because untouchable suffer from the sick sha, and I believe he will not repeat that kind mistake again in his life.

E don become habit to Nigerian skit makers, the rate wey Dem dey do this prank dey scaring and e dey affect the society negatively. No be say Dem no dey try o, but at least make e be say limits dey to de pranking. For example if them wan prank make e be say na acted prank rather than randomly street selection. Government sopos provide a regulatory body wey go dey active to stop some of this nonsense. Or providing a regulatory documents like (NPCC) Nigeria prankers code of conduct . Which will have laws guiding there activities, which if the law is broken is purnishable by law. At least with this point of mine I think it will reduce.

For we country, normally prank is supposed to be something of fun but people Don turn ahm into something wey fit make somebody to into serious trauma.  The kind of prank thus days on our street no good at all for the health especially for our  elderly mother and our father. This our contents creators they need to reduce the how expensive thus prank be because e fit cause serious problems to person wey dey fo through a lot for life. Some of this expensive prank fit lead to dead because fear dey kill human being,  they just need to take it easy before it gets them into problems that they will regret it.

He good say plenty people they go for content creation and the thing done actually help a lot of youths has government no send us again but if you clearly check plenty of this content creators they into drugs, and like say them done even catch the general before say him they do drugs so the thing be like say most of those guys they use content they disguise waiting them they actually do.

No be only that prank matter they funny me but those blind date own you they find love but at the same time you they look at the worth of the person outfit, plenty of those girls they find person wey go they pay there bills say them they find love. and for that prank matter abeg make them know the kind prank them go carry come my side oh.

There is no doubt, social media content creation has bring another way for Nigerian youths to stop depending on government for employment after school and so many people have made it through content creation but just as the OP said, some of them are doing it off limit just to get popularity and more followers.

On the relationship breakups that happens due to to prank, I blame the people that invite the prank stars to interfere in their relationship just to be sure of their respective faithfulness which to me is not important, and I have watched so many pranks related to that and almost all ended up in brake-ups.

Furthermore, some of us are careless and have stop using their common sense to know that anything you share to either content creator or a prank star has became publicly exposed and your privacy is no longer safe, and such act will remain on social media for long and might be used against you.

Omor, this video made dye, e dey funny sha but e still dey risky on the other hand, why e dey risky be say, you now way be the content creator way Sabi prank people with scary thing like these one way you drop, the girl use robber snake dey prank people and just imagine say now she go prank person way get high blood pressure ( aka B.P) and the person from there collapse (even if say the person faint self), how e for be? So I go say e no good at all, although nah for fun but make e try be say nah only funny funny thing we go dey use dey prank people and not something scary like the snake.
This girl way dey use snake prank pipo for street, abi she know know say snake nah something way no be everybody like to see? Although say nah fake but it's not advise to do such thing with something scary.

The extend at which those content creators are going just attract people is very far, yesterday I saw one video uploaded online a guy went to prank a military man in uniform by smashing his phone while he was still on serious call, you need to see how the military man retaliated, he beat the content creator and even when other military guys that knows the content creator came to save him from the beating there colleague is giving him but the military man refuses and keep hitting the guy. So people should be very careful with the kind of prank you give somebody because in as much as is bringing them money is also coursing some havoc on others.

It is better such couples not to take part in such prank because of the the later effect of it. It is said that everyone has a secret they’re keeping from someone, just pray it doesn’t break you when you hear it. I am not supporting those pranksters for what they do to relationships, but it is better couples don’t take part in it since they won’t stop the prank as long as it is not regulated yet, and I don’t think they force people to take part in such prank activity with them.


I don’t know much about the entertainment industry but I think most of this stuffs are not under any regulations, so those pranksters have no limit to the type of content they create as long as it will give them money. The only time I see this comedians or pranksters been arrested are when they imitate some government officials and showcase the negative part of their work and share it to the public which is not a good illustration of what such government officials depicts, that is when they are been cautioned, warn or arrested.

It is actually disgusting seeing the extent some people go to create content. No safety measure in place for some of them and they can actually cause someone sick to have crisis. For example, this one uses fake snake to prank random people on the street. This is extremely dangerous! If they use only those among their crew for the prank, it would have been better to avoid any emergency. Besides, we already know it is just script they are acting.

I don't know if there are regulations to these things but I think government have to do more in this regards to avoid emergency. Content creators have to be guided by rules that guarantee public safety.

As content creation gains popularity and people start making it big from YouTube/ Facebook monetization, content creators are becoming increasingly desperate and are willing to do any content to gain followers.

Pranking people on the street has become a common order with no consideration of the victim's emotional/psychological state of mind.

While we watch these videos and enjoy the entertainment part of it, some of the people pranked are left emotionally drained, some relationship/ couples trust has broken because they were pranked to check there faithfulness to each other and some people have lost so much useful information from there phone because a popular prankster smatched it on the ground and gives the victim a new one, not considering some important information in the phone that might be lost in the process.

Of course, some of these guys have landed themselves in trouble because they pranked the wrong person but others are yet to learn there lessons.

Entertainment is not bad, as a matter of fact I enjoy watching them alot but when you ridicule or take advantage of the ignorance of others just to create your content, it becomes a problem.
