In response to a post describing the struggles in Nigeria—*“People are crying for school fees, crying to feed, crying to pay rent, crying to just survive”*—another user insensitively remarked, *“Nigerians know how to cry for everything… Let them all cry.”* This comment trivializes the very real hardships that many Nigerians face daily.
Such dismissive attitudes undermine the gravity of the situation, where people are genuinely struggling to make ends meet. Rather than showing empathy, this response fosters insensitivity towards the suffering of others. It’s important to understand that these cries represent the voices of those who are desperate for change and relief. Instead of belittling their struggles, offering support or constructive solutions can foster unity and hope in difficult times. Compassion should always outweigh cynicism in discussions about real-life challenges.
