Amidst Nigeria’s harsh economic realities, an alarming number of youths have turned to selling explicit contents on various online platforms, often disregarding the far-reaching consequences of their actions on their lives, reputation, and mental well-being, writes VICTOR AYENI
Earlier this month, social media buzzed with a flurry of shocking video clips featuring a senior Equatorial Guinean official, Balthazar Engonga, engaging in intimate encounters with multiple women.
The videos, filmed in various locations including his office, left viewers stunned.
Just as the scandalous footage of Engonga was sending ripples through the digital world, a new, equally provocative storm began to brew in Nigeria’s online sphere.
The spotlight quickly shifted to Ivie Aigbedion, a woman also known by her provocative nickname -Yahweh’s Rare Unique Masterpiece.
Nude photos and explicit videos of Aigbedion began circulating rapidly, flooding timelines, and quickly rivalling the attention garnered by Engonga’s explicit videos.
Aigbedion, who had already gained a reputation for posting semi-nude pictures—often tagging Nigerian music sensation Ayodeji Balogun, aka Wizkid—was no stranger to controversy.
Over time, to cater to the high demand from men willing to pay premium prices for her “rare and unique” nude content, Aigbedion set up a Snapchat account, where she offered explicit photos and videos to paying subscribers.
Saturday PUNCH learnt that earlier this month, some of her fans who wanted to break the exclusivity, downloaded explicit content from her private Snapchat story and shared them in a Telegram group named Naija Leaks (Sinners Hub).
Within 24 hours, Aigbedion’s photos and videos had circulated widely across Telegram groups known for sharing leaked explicit content, as well as on X.com.
When some of her followers on X tagged her in videos from her private snap, Aigbedion responded, “Please don’t send me posts like this or tag me in them. I have no interest in it.”
Adding a proverbial fuel to the already burning flame of passion, the next day, the adult content creator began posting the “leaked” explicit photos and videos from her account on X.com.
For over three days, ‘Yahweh’ became a top trending term on X.com in Nigeria, drawing a flood of intrigued and curious users eager to catch a glimpse of Aigbedion’s oiled body.
While a horde of male fans on X lapped up Aigbedion’s explicit content like thirsty German Shepherds, checks by our correspondent showed that her Facebook account where she sells her organic skincare mixtures maintained a morally “clean” photo album.
None of her nude photos made it to the social networking platform with over three billion users, owing to its strict censorship policies, which bar nude photos, obscene posts, and content depicting sexual acts.
Conversely, on X.com, users are allowed to “share consensually produced and distributed adult nudity or sexual behaviour, provided it’s properly labelled and not prominently displayed,” according to a statement published in May.
“It’s far easier for me to post thirst traps on X than elsewhere,” a tech advisor and nudist, who gave his name simply as Dewumi, confessed to Saturday PUNCH.
“On Facebook and Instagram, I maintain my good-boy image, but I have a burner account on X where I post my traps, and my DM is always full when I do so.”

In multiple photos and videos shared by Aigbedion and viewed by Saturday PUNCH, she appears in a nursing uniform in one scene, while in others, she reveals her breasts and private parts in close-up shots. Two other videos recorded against a dimly lit background captured her as she oiled up her body and engaged in self-pleasuring.
Responding to an X user who criticised her decision to post explicit content, the nudist wrote, “You can’t shame me, baby. The person who paid for my subscription and leaked the videos for free for y’all to see? They are the real morons.
