A controversial post argued that men only need to appear wealthy to attract women, sparking heated debate. In the middle of the discussion, one comment mocked Nigerians and the timeline, stating, “See wetin una dey brag about for Nigeria? 16yr olds have cars here. It’s not seen as a luxury, it’s a necessity. In Naija it’s a symbol of wealth. SMH.”
This response is dismissive and classist. It ridicules Nigerians by comparing different economic realities and using them as a measure of worth. Access to cars varies widely across countries due to infrastructure, income levels, and social systems. What is considered a necessity in one place may reasonably be a luxury in another.
Mocking people for their environment or circumstances adds nothing to the conversation. It shifts the discussion from relationships and values to condescension, reinforcing the idea that privilege equals superiority, rather than acknowledging unequal global realities.
