The post discussed how some Nigerians have been unfairly criticizing an X personality who uses his platform to help people in need. Many have accused him of ignoring them, forgetting that it’s not his duty to do what the government should be doing. However, instead of addressing the sense of entitlement or reminding people to show gratitude, one user took it too far by commenting, “Nigerians are fucking terrible people.”

This statement is offensive and unproductive. It paints an entire nation in a negative light because of the actions of a few individuals. While it’s fair to call out entitlement or misplaced anger, generalizing an entire population breeds hate and discourages positive change. Constructive criticism focuses on behaviour, not identity — condemning citizens collectively only fuels division instead of encouraging responsibility and appreciation for those who genuinely help.
