The statement “We are in a shitty country” reflects the deep frustration many Nigerians feel about governance, corruption, and economic struggles. In response to a journalist being declared wanted, it captures the anger over perceived abuses of power and government inefficiency.
While understandable, this type of language can be harmful. It promotes hopelessness, discourages civic engagement, and fuels a negative perception of the country, which can affect investment and progress. Blanket negativity can also alienate citizens from the process of creating positive change, making it harder to address real issues.
Rather than giving in to despair, frustration should be channeled into action. Constructive criticism, civic participation, and advocacy for reform can help address these problems and work toward a better future. While anger is valid, hope and effort are essential for change.
