The outrage over reports that Kogi youths donated ₦100 million for President Bola Tinubu’s nomination form has continued to escalate online, with frustration spilling into extreme rhetoric. Many Nigerians, already strained by economic hardship, saw the news as insensitive and disconnected from everyday realities.
One particularly extreme reaction read: “Given birth in Nigeria should be a crime and be prohibited.”
The comment reflects deep anger and despair rather than a literal policy suggestion. Critics argue it reveals how hopeless some citizens feel about the country’s future, to the point of rejecting parenthood itself. Others condemned the statement as reckless, noting that it unfairly devalues Nigerian lives and shifts blame from leadership failures to ordinary people.
