“Rich people, rich Nigerians, rich people generally are so incredibly greedy, tone deaf and just removed from reality because asking us Nigerians, which Nigeria is currently poverty capital of the world most likely, the country is in a state of shambles, children are missing, asking us to vote if your millennia-asss wife is having a boy or a girl, like probably the richest family in Nigeria, asking us to bet, bet with the money that we don’t have is so incredibly, like it’s so disturbing, like it’s crazy, it’s very, very crazy, it’s insane, it’s oh shock me girl, oh shock me girl, like you’re not well.”

"No need to gaslight Nigerians with one man’s actions. He is a Nigerian; he has every right to do that, and it is up to the average Nigerian to participate or not. He is not forcing anyone to do anything. As much as we hate poverty, the burden of poverty is not on him or the average Nigerian. We did not vote for him to take care of us, and he is not collecting or spending our monthly allocations. If you are really concerned about poverty, go and face your governors—the people you voted for to take care of you. The man is a major businessman and job creator, with many Nigerians feeding and putting food on the table because of his hard work."

"Most Nigerians don’t have priorities. Although there is severe hardship in Nigeria, it will shock you that many Nigerians are richer than more than 50% of Europeans. But where they are willing to put their money is what will surprise you."
