If you’ve ever been to a proper Nigerian Owambe, you know there are three things that matter: the food, the money, and the madness. But what if I told you there’s a man whose entire job is to bring the madness? And he doesn’t just do it for vibes—he gets paid in bundles.

Meet MC Pump It Up, Nigeria’s first professional Personal Hype Man. His mission? To make regular people feel like Davido at a Lagos nightclub. His secret weapon? A wireless mic, a voice louder than PHCN’s excuses, and a reckless disregard for volume control.


How He Makes His Money

For just ₦150,000 per event, MC Pump It Up will follow you around at an Owambe, hyping your every move like you just won a Grammy.

  • You stand up to get food? “EYYY! BOSS MAN WAN CHOP! IF YOU NO GET MONEY, HIDE YOUR FACE!”
  • You sip small wine? “OMO SEE CONTROL! THIS GUY DEY SIP LIKE BILLIONAIRE! SMALL BOYS LEARN WORK!”
  • You drop one N500 note for the live band? “AH! BILLIONAIRE ALERT! EFCC DEY FIND THIS GUY!”

The more money you spray, the more insane the hype gets. If you drop ₦50,000 in cash, MC Pump It Up will start shouting in tongues and rolling on the floor.

At his last event, he got carried away and called someone ‘Money Heist Part 2’. Unfortunately for him, the guy was a real-life politician with EFCC problems. Two days later, MC Pump It Up went missing.


Is This the Greatest Hustle Ever? Or a Fast Track to Wahala?

Nigerians love enjoyment, but they also love violence. This job has two possible endings:

Option 1: He Becomes a Millionaire.

  • Before his EFCC problem, MC Pump It Up was making ₦1 million per weekend.
  • Rumor has it that a Lagos Big Boy paid him ₦5M to follow him everywhere for a whole week. Even at business meetings, he was shouting: “IF YOU NO SIGN THIS DEAL, YOUR GENERATION GO REGRET AM!”
  • If things go well, he could land a deal to hype Nigerian politicians on campaign trails. Imagine hearing: “THIS MAN GO FIX LIGHT! IF YOU NO VOTE AM, THUNDER FIT STRIKE!”

Option 2: He Collects Premium Beating.

  • One of his hype clients allegedly sprayed borrowed money at an Owambe. When the owner of the money showed up, MC Pump It Up was the one they grabbed first.
  • He once hyped a Lagos babe so much that her boyfriend got jealous and shouted, “Bro, no dey shout for my babe like that!” Result? Flying chair. Party scattered.
  • His biggest risk? Accidentally hyping a Yahoo Boy during an EFCC raid. One wrong “Omo see flex!” and he’s following them to court.

Twitter/X Is Already Fighting Over Him

Ever since his EFCC drama, Twitter/X has been divided. Some people say he’s a marketing genius, others think he’s the reason why Nigeria can’t progress. Here are the hottest takes:

👴🏾 @ElderChuks22: “Back in my day, we had humility. Now, people are paying for noise pollution. Shame.”

😂 @IJustDeyObserve: “EFCC no suppose catch am. If you hype me well, I fit pay you my rent money. This is real talent.”

🤡 @BrokeAndLoud: “I need him at my wedding. But he must also hype me when I enter my in-law’s house. ‘SEE HUSBAND MATERIAL! CHAI!’”

Meanwhile, his latest client? A Lagos babe who wants her ex to see her soft life. She has hired him to follow her around and shout: “Omo see babe! She no dey suffer again! Sapa no near here!”

At this rate, MC Pump It Up might just take over the entire Lagos economy. But until then, if you see someone shouting uncontrollably at a wedding, just know—it’s strictly business.
