Social media influencer Bobrisky has criticised his colleagues in Nigeria, claiming their online influence has dramatically declined since he moved to the United Kingdom.

In a post on Instagram, he wrote:

"But wait!!! As soon as I left Nigeria all dis wanna be Bob in Nigeria engagement and name sank like Titanic yacht. You can see I was the one helping them get noticed. How can you post and have 17 comment? Literally all ur post are hidden. Likes damn, from fame to followers."

Bobrisky suggested that many of these “wannabe Bob” personalities depended on his presence to gain visibility, and now struggle to attract engagement. He emphasised that his influence had been crucial in boosting the profiles of certain peers in Nigeria’s social media space before his relocation to the UK.
