A heart-wrenching video showing hungry children scavenging raw rice, spilled on the road after an accident, has drawn widespread attention online. The scene sparked concern about poverty and systemic neglect in the country. Among the reactions, one comment starkly declared: “One sentence I’ll always say regarding Nigeria is that ‘it can only get worse with each passing day, absolutely nothing is going to change for good about this hellhole.’”
While frustration with systemic issues is understandable, framing the country as irredeemable is defeatist and counterproductive. Negative generalizations can desensitize people to real problems and hinder constructive solutions. Highlighting poverty should motivate empathy, advocacy, and action—not resignation. Criticism is valid, but hope and accountability are essential for driving meaningful change.
