"You’re using Dumelo’s promo code for extra Gob3 because your pocket is light, but your laptop at home is so slow it can’t even load a job application. Eating like a 'man of the people' while your career is starving because of 4GB RAM. Stop the fronting and get one of my UK-used Core i5 HP 250 G7 8th Gen and start doing something for yourself."

"Gob3 is life."

"You have successfully transitioned into a very local man. Abeg take your flowers."
