Nigerian comedian and social media influencer Lasisi Elenu has ignited a firestorm of reactions across Twitter after posting a cryptic message followed by a short video skit labeled “Rant Day.” The post, shared earlier today, shows Elenu venting his frustration over a series of personal and societal issues, encouraging his followers to join in on the “rant” and voice their own grievances.
The video features Lasisi, known for his signature comedic style, mocking everyday situations that have caused irritation, from traffic congestion to customer service woes, and even personal pet peeves. In his usual animated fashion, the comedian humorously exaggerates his rants, urging viewers to “speak their minds” about the things that annoy them.
However, while many fans praised the video for its relatable content and sharp wit, others have expressed concern over Elenu’s apparent frustration. The hashtag #RantDay quickly trended on Twitter, with users flooding the platform to share their own rants, but also questioning whether such public expressions of dissatisfaction were productive or merely fostering negativity.
Some critics have expressed disappointment, suggesting that Elenu’s post might contribute to a culture of pessimism rather than inspire positive change. “It’s one thing to joke about frustrations, but it’s another to encourage an entire day of negativity,” one Twitter user remarked.
On the other hand, many of Elenu’s followers have rallied behind him, stating that the video is a cathartic release for those dealing with the pressures of daily life. “It’s good to laugh about the chaos sometimes, we all need a Rant Day every once in a while,” another tweet read.
As of now, Lasisi Elenu has not issued any follow-up comment on the backlash or the viral success of the hashtag. Whether “Rant Day” will evolve into a full-fledged social movement or remain a humorous viral moment remains to be seen.
In a time where societal tension seems high and the demands of modern life can feel overwhelming, it appears that Lasisi Elenu has sparked more than just a conversation about venting—it might just be the beginning of a new social media phenomenon.
