A recent Instagram comment on a post about a financially struggling man who got two women pregnant read: “You no get money, your preeq dey rise😂😂😂who cursed you.” The term “preeq” refers to the penis, and this comment crudely mocks the man’s situation by linking his financial difficulties with his sexual activity.
This type of comment not only perpetuates harmful stereotypes but also trivializes the real issues at hand. It reduces a serious discussion about financial struggle and responsibility to a vulgar joke, failing to address the complexities of the man’s predicament. Such remarks are disrespectful and unhelpful, reinforcing negative attitudes and undermining the gravity of personal challenges. Conversations about financial and personal issues should be approached with empathy and respect.
