“Our problem in Nigeria goes beyond the government; it is also our mindset. We have normalised the culture of abandoning collective problems simply because we can afford personal alternatives. You have solar electricity, and suddenly, the public power supply is no longer your concern. You can afford private healthcare, and public healthcare becomes someone else’s problem.

We are quick to embrace Western culture, their fashion, lifestyle, and many other things, but we have failed to adopt the structures and systems that make those societies function.

In 2026, a country regarded as the Giant of Africa is still struggling to provide basic amenities for its citizens.”

The Nigerian lady also questioned those who always say, “May this administration favour me and my family,” arguing that the focus should go beyond personal benefits to demanding a country that works for everyone.
