The recent decree by the NDLEA requiring married women to present a letter of approval from their husbands to obtain a visa has sparked significant outrage and widespread criticism. Among the many disapproving comments, one user expressed frustration with the broader system, stating, “Every institution in Nigeria are rotten, smelly tomatoes.”
While this sentiment reflects deep dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs, it oversimplifies the issue and undermines the efforts of individuals and organizations working for positive change. Labeling all institutions as inherently flawed ignores the complexities and nuances within society. Instead of generalizing, it’s essential to focus on constructive dialogue that highlights specific issues, advocates for reform, and promotes accountability within institutions. Meaningful change requires targeted action, not blanket negativity.
