SocialMediaTrends: Jokes, bants trail Hakimi’s ‘wealth security strategy’ & Tinubu’s listing on TIME

Achraf Hakimi has gained worldwide attention after his ex-wife, seeking for divorce and alimony, learned he owns ‘nothing’ despite earning millions of euros as a professional athlete in his prime.

Nigerians worldwide, including the recently crowned middleweight champion of the UFC, Israel Adesanya, responded to Hakimi’s scandal.

Dubbed ‘Mummy’s boy’, the Moroccan, who is a football player with Paris St. Germain, was saving his money with his mother, denying his ex-wife of alimony, and this has spurred mixed reactions.

Many wrote that the former Real Madrid player anticipated the divorce while others believe he was just playing it safe.

See how Nigerians reacted:

Achraf Hakimi and his wealth security strategy may end up changing the world of divorce for good. It would be against those who threaten to divorce simply because of what they stand to gain from it.

No matter how woke this life is, the Bible is expressly clear.

Once you marry, your WIFE is your priority and EVERYONE, including your MOTHER is secondary.

Hakimi may be right because of the kind of person he married, but don't use him as standard.

Astha Rajvanshi on the spotlight

Staff writer for Time 100 Astha Rajvanshi has reportedly shut her Twitter account in response to complaints she has received for including Bola Tinubu, the president-elect of Nigeria, on the most recent Time 100 list of the world’s most influential people.

However, the abuse on her Facebook and Instagram profiles only grew harsher.

Some condemned Rajvanshi for endorsing Tinubu, while some accused her of smearing him.

The writer received harsh criticism from many Nigerian Twitter users, many of whom identify as “Obidients,” or Peter Obi’s Labour Party supporters, for highlighting Tinubu’s contentious political career, which has included, among other things, accusations of corruption and drug cases in the United States.

Some also wrote to the India-based freelance writer in solidarity with her.

See how Nigerians reacted:

Poor @astharajvanshi , Nigerians have made her lock all her accounts.

Dear Astha Rajvanshi, I hope you understand why Nigerians are at rage with you and the Time Magazine.

Please extend our love to Astha Rajvanshi @TIME. Nigerians, including those who don’t support Tinubu, will never attack anyone for writing an article. Those attacking her are the new seamy side of our political culture, a headless mob. Most countries have them these days.

There is absolutely no reason to go personally ballistics on Astha Rajvanshi, the writer of the Time 100 feature on Tinubu. Instead, use the opportunity to place the damning evidences against Tinubu on the spotlight for her, other writers at Time & their global audience.

Nigerians are no longer fools. We have told the world that Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not what we call a leader. Astha Rajvanshi of Times Magazine wrote out of her ignorance
