Another user reacted to her post with the comment, “After ranting online, what next? Last last we are all cowards.” implying that Nigerians only complain on social media but never take real action. While this may reflect frustration with the nation’s passive response to governance issues, calling everyone “cowards” trivializes genuine activism and discourages constructive engagement. Many citizens raise awareness online because it’s one of the few safe avenues to demand accountability. Rather than insult collective efforts, the focus should be on encouraging civic participation and responsible advocacy that can bring about meaningful change, not further apathy or hopelessness.
