The comment *”they are learning fast…some are depressed and some don kpai while overworking…”* in response to a post about Nigerians who relocated to the UK and Canada and have been silent on social media reflects a harsh and dismissive attitude toward their experiences. It mocks the difficulties faced by individuals seeking a better life abroad, suggesting that their challenges, including depression or even death due to overwork, are a form of poetic justice.
Such comments not only lack empathy but also undermine the real struggles many immigrants face. Relocating to a new country often comes with significant challenges, including adapting to a new culture, dealing with isolation, and facing rigorous work demands. Instead of mocking their situation, a more supportive approach would acknowledge these difficulties and offer understanding and solidarity.
