"Olodo," a popular Nigerian expression derived from the Yoruba language, literally refers to a dullard or one who is intellectually deficient. While the term emerged largely as a humorous label in entertainment and social media, it has gradually acquired a deeper political and sociological meaning. Increasingly, it is invoked to describe a culture in which critical thinking is displaced by unquestioning loyalty, evidence yields to propaganda, and mediocrity is elevated above competence.
