It all started when she posted a picture of herself looking comfortable in what appeared to be a plane. Many people quickly concluded that she had travelled out of the country. Some even sent her private messages warning her that showing such things online could put her life in danger. One of the messages read, “Your destiny carries weight and I will entreat you to start hiding some things from the public. It will save your life. You went abroad recently right.” Read Our Last Post: Young Lady Shares Her Story After Inheriting Rare Skin Condition, Says She’s Not Ashamed
That message touched her so much that she decided to come out and clear the air. In her post, she explained that she did not travel anywhere and that the whole thing was created with the help of artificial intelligence. She made it clear that she was still in Nigeria and had not gone abroad. She even joked that while others post their holiday pictures and come back safely, her own simple photo turned into weeks of unwanted advice and warnings.
Her words were mixed with both humour and pain. She said some people had gone as far as telling her that she was dragging herself to an early grave just because she made it look like she had travelled. In her defence, she asked a very simple question, “Even if I travel abroad is it a bad thing? Are my mates not going on vacation and coming back?” That statement showed her frustration at how a small online act turned into a big matter.
Precious also expressed anger at those she described as “ndi nmuo ojoo,” meaning people with bad spirits. She warned them in a dramatic way, saying that if any witch was reading her post they should be careful because she was ready to clip their wings. That part of her post made many of her followers laugh, but it also carried a strong message about how much she was feeling the pressure.
This story is a reflection of how social media can change the meaning of a simple post. A picture that was meant to show beauty and confidence suddenly became a source of fear and accusations. It also shows how artificial intelligence has now entered everyday life. Something created by technology can make people believe it is completely real.
There is also a financial side to this story. In our society today, once people think you are living abroad or enjoying luxury, they start treating you differently. Some will expect you to give them money. Others may start pricing you higher. There are also those who may see you as a target. This is why many people say that it is better to hide certain things from the public.
For Precious, this was supposed to be a normal post. Instead, it became a lesson in how public life can sometimes attract envy and suspicion. The truth is that there is nothing wrong with celebrating success, but the way people react is not always the same. Some clap for you while others wait for your downfall.
At the end of the day, Precious used humour to ease her pain. She called on God, saying “Oh chim! Ike agwula nwa Nnamdi,” meaning “Oh God, the strength of Nnamdi’s child is finished.” That short cry showed how heavy the matter had weighed on her.
