A recent protest outside NAFDAC’s office demanding more effective action sparked a controversial comment on X: “Nigerians are not worth fighting for… Stop wasting your time fighting for these ingrates.”
This comment reflects a frustration often felt by activists who face resistance or indifference in their efforts. However, dismissing an entire population as unworthy overlooks the many Nigerians who do value and support the fight for positive change.
Activism is tough, especially in a country like Nigeria, where challenges are deep-rooted. But the fight is about more than immediate results; it’s about building a better future. Change is a collective effort, and every citizen plays a role.
While it’s easy to feel disillusioned, giving up isn’t the answer. The struggle for a better Nigeria is worth it—not just for today, but for the generations to come.
