“Na iron condemn remain”: Netizens drop hot takes
Shortly after the video made rounds online, many Nigerians flooded Regha’s comment section with their unfiltered takes.
@Frank_hacker_ teased:
“This is exactly the job that suits you. Next is iron condemn.”
@streetupdate24_ went viral for his humorous financial advice:
“Daniel, the 4k should be properly invested!!! Give 3,850 to the orphanage, use 150 to buy groundnut, then drink garri. Don’t waste funds!”
@emmahtrendsblog added with sarcasm:
“Made ₦3K from rubbish today. While some of you are the trash, I’m out here profiting off it.”
Amidst the trolling, some X users used the moment to highlight the value of recycling and its place in both local and international economies.
@Drizzboss pointed out the difference in mindset between Nigerians and Americans:
“People dey say this is poor people’s work. But in the US, even Tesla drivers recycle. This same bag of bottles would fetch at least $15.”
@jnr_xoxo shared from personal experience:
“If only you knew how much those guys in recycling make. I don make ₦40k from selling to them. Dem wire money straight to your account.”
Some observers weren’t buying Regha’s “humble man” brand and suggested that his online persona may be part of a deeper strategy.

@flourish007 chimed in:
“You can’t be that broke and still afford bottled water every day. But I respect his hustle sha.”

Regha advises Siraheem
As it is his custom, TheTalk.NG reported that Daniel Regha reviewed Siraheem’s new rap song. Siraheem had earlier posted a video where he was saying he’s here to take over the music industry.
Reacting to the song, Daniel called it ‘noisy rap’ and warned that Siraheem’s music career may have an uncertain future.
The critic also offered some advice on what the artist should do next. Daniel Regha sends advice to Siraheem’s family. He suggested that before releasing any music to the public, Siraheem should first share it with his family and friends in a WhatsApp group chat
