A foreign content creator who has been making lighthearted videos on the streets of Nigeria recently shared a funny clip featuring some street boys. The video was meant as harmless entertainment and drew laughs from many viewers who appreciated the playful interaction and cultural exchange.
However, one user responded with a disturbing and demeaning remark: “I feel Nigeria is just one big psychiatric hospital now having foreign patients.”
Instead of engaging with the humor or creativity of the video, the comment mocked both Nigerians and foreigners, framing the country as mentally deranged and unworthy of respect. Critics argued that such rhetoric reflects deep-seated self-hate and unnecessary xenophobia. While social media thrives on satire, reducing an entire nation to a psychiatric ward crosses the line from humor into insult. The incident highlights how even innocent content can be derailed by toxic commentary that promotes national ridicule rather than cultural pride or constructive criticism.
