• JUST IN: NOA Slams Sarkin Mota Over Viral Car Video — “This Can Trigger Desperation”

    In a surprising twist, the National Orientation Agency (NOA) has issued a cautionary message to popular skit maker and influencer Sarkin Mota over a recent video in which he questioned whether civil servants could afford a luxury car he showcased. According to the NOA, such content could potentially spark “get-rich-at-all-cost” mindsets among young Nigerians.

    In the viral clip, Sarkin Mota is seen admiring an expensive car and sarcastically asking whether civil servants—who represent a large segment of Nigeria’s working population—could genuinely afford such a vehicle. While some viewers saw the post as satire highlighting income disparity, the NOA saw a deeper issue.

    The agency argued that videos like these can undermine national values by encouraging “corrupt or illegal shortcuts to wealth.” In a formal notice, it expressed concern that such portrayals could fuel societal pressure, envy, and reckless ambition, especially among Nigerian youth already grappling with economic hardship.

    Online, reactions have been mixed.
    Some Nigerians agree with the NOA, saying the video glamorizes wealth without context and could breed unhealthy comparisons. Others argue that influencers like Sarkin Mota are simply reflecting the harsh realities of Nigeria’s economy and expressing frustration through humor.

    “Is it not the truth?” one commenter wrote. “We all know civil servants can’t afford such cars without side hustles or something shady. Why pretend?”

    Another added: “Instead of going after comedians, the NOA should address the real issue — poor remuneration and accountability.”
