Typical Nigerian Like Me Would Rather Record Than Help - Olami_deeEbony

A post showed a car that reportedly caught fire on the highway just two hours after it had been dedicated in a church, sparking concern and debate about safety and coincidence.

One user responded by saying “Typical Nigeria! People would rather record than help.” While it is fair to criticize bystanders who fail to assist in emergencies, framing it as a “typical Nigeria” problem unfairly paints an entire country as careless or heartless. Emergencies where people choose to film instead of help happen all over the world, not in one nation alone. Using a single incident to stereotype millions of people turns a valid concern about bystander behavior into national shaming, which distracts from the real issue: the need for empathy and responsibility during crises.
