To some members of the Nigerian social media community, Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo is controversial. But the 50-year-old daughter of a former governor of Oyo State, Dr. Victor Omololu-Olunloyo, says Nigerian youths rather misunderstand her and what she does on social media.
While many spend a lot of time criticising her on online, the United States/Canada-trained pharmacist says she earns between $50 and $150 every time she publishes three tweets for her foreign clients who are mainly musical artistes.
In an online interview with The PUNCH, Kemi, who has spent 25 years on social media, says Nigerian youths are missing the commercial side of the platforms because they chose to attack her and others who mean well for the country.
“In a good month, one can make between $2,000 and $5,000 or even more, depending on what one is
putting out on each platform,” she says, describing social media as her life.
With good content, she adds, young Nigerian tweeters can monetise their accounts and earn a decent living promoting companies and artistic works. Advising those who hope to key into the “big opportunity”, she urges them to stop using their handles “in a negative way”.
