Enioluwa Speaks Out: The Bitterness Behind Celebrating Breakups

In a digital age where love is not only shared but broadcasted, and where weddings are livestreamed for the world to witness, it’s no surprise that the internet has become a chaotic amphitheatre of admiration and, sadly, animosity. Nigerian influencer and content creator Enioluwa Adeoluwa, known for his vibrant personality and positive messaging, has taken to social media to call out a particularly disturbing trend — the silent and sometimes vocal wish for romantic relationships to fail.

Enioluwa’s recent post, which quickly gained traction on X (formerly Twitter), highlighted a phenomenon that many have felt but few dare to name: the joy some people derive from watching couples fall apart. “It is a terrible thing to look at two people get married and all that is in your heart is hoping that one day it will go sour for them,” Enioluwa wrote. His words were a piercing reflection of a digital culture that often veers from celebration to cynicism with alarming speed.

The statement struck a chord, not just because it came from a beloved internet personality, but because it held up a mirror to an uncomfortable truth. The bitterness that fuels this behavior isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it manifests in subtle forms — a sarcastic comment, a mocking quote tweet, or a passive-aggressive message buried beneath thinly veiled concern. But Enioluwa’s message made one thing clear: it’s not just harmless gossip. It’s a sign of deep-seated bitterness, and it demands attention.

“If someone else's happiness triggers sadness or jealousy in you, that's a clear sign you need to pray and deal with that bitterness,” he continued. “There is a healing you need.” His words cut through the noise of everyday online chatter, urging followers to confront a spiritual and emotional malady that is often masked as "just keeping it real" or "telling the truth."

In a world where love is already hard to find, the added pressure of public scrutiny and negative energy can weigh heavily on couples. For influencers, celebrities, and even ordinary people whose relationships go viral for one reason or another, the pressure to "perform" happiness becomes intense. And when people online begin to actively root for a breakup, it does more than just affect public perception — it chips away at the foundation of trust, joy, and peace within that relationship.

Enioluwa's post wasn't just a moral commentary — it was a wake-up call. The internet, with its infinite scroll of curated moments and filtered perfection, can sometimes breed a sense of inadequacy in its users. Seeing someone else bask in a honeymoon glow or celebrating an anniversary might stir feelings of envy or regret in someone still navigating heartbreak or loneliness. But instead of acknowledging those emotions and seeking healing, many direct their pain outward, channeling it into negative energy aimed at those who seem to "have it all."

It's this cycle — of pain breeding bitterness and bitterness breeding hate — that Enioluwa wants people to break free from. He pointed out a crucial truth: “That kind of spirit takes happiness away from your own life.” And that is perhaps the most poignant part of his message. Harboring bitterness isn’t a passive emotion; it’s an active thief of joy. It clouds judgment, sours relationships, and fosters a sense of internal chaos that no amount of social media likes or retweets can silence.

The influencer's message resonated far beyond the comment section. Within hours, fans, followers, and fellow creatives began reposting and commenting with words of agreement and reflection. Many shared personal stories of being on the receiving end of online hate when their relationships became public, while others admitted to previously harboring such feelings and working through them in private.

Mental health experts have long acknowledged the connection between jealousy and unprocessed trauma. Feelings of rejection, past heartbreaks, or personal insecurities can all fuel an unconscious desire to see others fail — especially in areas where we ourselves feel unfulfilled. Social media amplifies this by providing a constant stream of comparison, and in the absence of self-awareness and healing, it becomes easy to project our dissatisfaction onto others.

Enioluwa’s call to prayer and healing wasn’t merely spiritual — it was also practical. Acknowledging pain, seeking therapy or counsel, practicing gratitude, and consciously choosing to celebrate others are all steps toward emotional freedom. As more influencers begin to use their platforms to promote not just beauty and fashion but emotional intelligence and self-growth, voices like Enioluwa’s are helping reshape the culture of social media.

What makes his message especially powerful is that it doesn’t come from a place of judgment but from a desire for collective growth. It’s a plea to return to empathy — to recognize that love, in all its forms, should be celebrated, not sabotaged. It’s a reminder that wishing others well, especially in their moments of joy, is not just good manners — it’s good for the soul.

Enioluwa, in his characteristic blend of candor and charisma, has once again used his voice to inspire introspection. In an online world that often feels crowded with noise, his message is a breath of clarity: let love be love, and let healing begin with honesty. As his words continue to echo across timelines and feeds, perhaps more people will look within and begin the necessary work of turning bitterness into blessing, jealousy into joy, and hurt into hope.

Because in the end, as Enioluwa so rightly put it, the happiness you wish on others has a funny way of finding its way back to you.
