Nigerian artist Bella Shmurda has opened up about how the passing of his close friend and collaborator, Mohbad, reshaped his outlook on life.
During a recent TikTok livestream with influencer Joblaq, Bella Shmurda explained that he is currently in a period of self-rediscovery, largely influenced by the tragic loss of Mohbad.
According to him, the incident brought a new sense of clarity to his life.
“Rest in peace, Mohbad. After his death, my mindset shifted completely. My perspective on life changed,” Shmurda said.
He further reflected on his parents’ words while growing up: “Back then, whenever we misbehaved, they would warn us, saying, ‘Don’t worry, one day you’ll understand.’ Now, I realize I’m at that stage of understanding. I’ve come to see things differently.”
It will be recalled that Mohbad died under controversial circumstances on September 12, 2023.
In other news… A Nigerian man based in the United Kingdom has stirred conversations online after advising his fellow countrymen not to bother relocating abroad if they already have about ₦30 million in Nigeria.
In a trending video, the man explained that while many people dream of moving to the UK for greener pastures, life abroad comes with its own struggles. According to him, the cost of living, endless bills, and strict work culture often shock new migrants who expect life to be easier.
He emphasized that anyone who has ₦30 million (roughly £18,000) back home can build a comfortable life in Nigeria by investing wisely, rather than starting afresh in the UK where they might end up doing menial jobs just to survive.
The man’s remarks have drawn mixed reactions. Some Nigerians agreed, saying that with good planning, ₦30 million is enough to start a business or secure real estate investments in Nigeria. Others, however, argued that the UK still offers better stability, opportunities, and quality of life than what money alone can buy in Nigeria.
