Many Nigerians are jealous of Raye's little success

According to Godwin Ponmile, many Nigerians, including Peller, are jealous of the little success viral NYSC member Raye made online.

"First of all, Nigerians are jealous of the little success from Raye, and they'll ensure to water her course out with newer trends. Two, I'm only happy that, at least, the corpers eventually get closer to what they deserve. 77k helps better, but wouldn't have sufficed without Raye. Three, they prefer Peller to Raye. Most of us are only hypocrites," he said.

What left to 30-day rant challenge

The 30-day rant challenge was a social media movement started by a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member serving in Lagos state, Ushie Rita Uguamaye, popularly known as Raye.

Raye, in a heartfelt TikTok video, expressed her frustrations over Nigeria's economic conditions, cost of living and limited opportunities for the youths.
