Blame The Robbery Victim For Having A Good Phone - Lillian Goldee (@Nickiegoldee)

Blaming a victim after they’ve suffered a traumatic experience, such as being robbed, is not only insensitive but also damaging. The comment by Lillian Goldee (@Nickiegoldee), “why you sef dey use phone wey cost pass 1million… this is just the beginning bro you never see anything,” reflects a troubling mindset. Instead of sympathizing with the victim or condemning the criminal act, she shifts the blame, suggesting that owning an expensive phone invites such misfortune. This mentality justifies theft and ignores personal responsibility and accountability.

Everyone has the right to own property without fearing they’ll be robbed or ridiculed for it. Comments like these trivialize crime and place unwarranted guilt on victims, perpetuating a culture of blame instead of promoting safety and empathy.
