As content creation gains popularity and people start making it big from YouTube/ Facebook monetization, content creators are becoming increasingly desperate and are willing to do any content to gain followers.

Pranking people on the street has become a common order with no consideration of the victim's emotional/psychological state of mind.

While we watch these videos and enjoy the entertainment part of it, some of the people pranked are left emotionally drained, some relationship/ couples trust has broken because they were pranked to check there faithfulness to each other and some people have lost so much useful information from there phone because a popular prankster smatched it on the ground and gives the victim a new one, not considering some important information in the phone that might be lost in the process.

Of course, some of these guys have landed themselves in trouble because they pranked the wrong person but others are yet to learn there lessons.

Entertainment is not bad, as a matter of fact I enjoy watching them alot but when you ridicule or take advantage of the ignorance of others just to create your content, it becomes a problem.



Funny enough I've observed that the rate of these prank contents has drastically reduced due to the side effects and the level of trouble these content creators/pranksters land themselves in.

I witnessed a near death experience of one of these content creators who snatched a lady's purse and attempted to run away, before he could take 5 steps, the angry mob was already all over him, that was the very first day I witnessed real life jungle justice, they so messed this guy up, before his videographer could get through the angry mob, the young man had already been beaten to stupor lol... We could barely hear the young man's faint voice screaming,  na prank o, na prank o, na prank o...

Lol it was funny and pitiful at the same time. Inow, nothing wey no be content again, I thought to myself, what if this whole thing was actually staged and planned by the content creator and he was ready to receive the beating for the money... Nothing wey no fit happen again for this country.
