“I recently visited Lagos, Nigeria, and while it’s known for its nightlife and clubs, I couldn’t help but notice the bigger picture. So many people there are struggling with hunger and poverty—it’s heartbreaking. It’s sad to see visitors focusing only on the parties when there’s such a clear need for help.

“What have you done for the inner city kids in America who go to bed hungry every day? Have you visited New Orleans, Mississippi, and the rest of the poor States in America and see poverty smiling right back in your face…Guess the soup kitchen spread across America will benefit more from your generousity and prayers…Shove that pathetic sympathy in your pants…Nigeria or Lagos do not need the likes of you.”

“This is the testament Tinubu and his cohorts hate to hear. Kemi Badenoch said same, they unleashed all the government arsenal to condemn her, now another foreigner is saying same.”
@BobbyDqzzler said:
“Why did you only visit Lagos? There are many other beautiful states in Nigeria you would love to visit.”
@KamoheloCM said:
“Let's not ask God for logic that he has already given us. Nigerians need to go back to their country and fight for it instead of running away to make nuisance of themselves around the world. Ask God to help Nigerian victims of human trafficking and drugs.”
