Afrobeats artist Omah Lay humorously attributed his recent need to wear glasses to the stress of his celebrity lifestyle, using highly relatable Nigerian slang.
The Viral Quote
The artist publicly admitted (likely on social media) that:
“Igbo has finished me — I would have never thought a time will come when I’ll begin to wear glasses.”
The Breakdown
"Igbo" in this context is Nigerian Pidgin slang for stress, excessive work, or a fast, demanding lifestyle (humorously referencing marijuana/weed).
He is essentially saying the intense demands of his career finally took a visible toll on his body, specifically his eyesight, which came as a surprise to him.
The Response
Nigerian fans immediately turned the confession into a popular joke, often responding with:
"Moral Lesson: Omah Lay You Sure Say No Be Garri Don't Give, Igbo Problem."
This playfully suggests he’s covering up a more common struggle (the stress of life/poverty, jokingly referenced as "Garri") with a cooler, celebrity excuse ("Igbo problem").
In short: Omah Lay made a viral, funny, and highly relatable post about his sudden need for glasses, blaming it on the stress of the superstar life.
