A comment on an Instagram post celebrating the beauty of the Okoya family with the statement “FUN FACT: Na Poor people dey fine pass” reflects a misguided attempt at humor that oversimplifies and distorts reality. While likely meant to be playful, it subtly undermines the compliment directed at the Okoya family and reduces beauty to a socio-economic status, as if wealth and attractiveness are mutually exclusive.
Such comments perpetuate stereotypes about wealth, beauty, and class, ignoring the diversity of human qualities that exist across all backgrounds. Instead of focusing on superficial comparisons, it’s better to celebrate individuals for their unique attributes, regardless of their financial standing. Beauty isn’t defined by wealth or poverty, and making these kinds of generalizations only fosters unnecessary division.
