A man shared a story about lending N20,000 to a lady who refused to repay him. One comment advised, “Carry it go spiritually,” suggesting that the situation should be handled through spiritual means rather than practical resolution.
While some may turn to faith for comfort, this comment is controversial because it shifts focus away from accountability and constructive problem-solving. Using spirituality as a catch-all solution risks normalizing inaction and can excuse dishonest behavior. Financial disagreements require clear boundaries, communication, and, when necessary, legal or practical intervention.
Reducing real-world problems to spiritual remedies alone may feel comforting, but it doesn’t teach responsibility or encourage fairness. Social media commentary should aim to balance empathy with practical guidance, rather than allowing personal faith to override accountability.
