No matter how rich you are individually as a Nigerian, we are all collectively poor. Very poor. You only realize this during emergencies. A fire breaks out and there is no fire service. An accident happens and there is no first aid, no ambulance, no system. Today, a world boxing champion like Anthony Joshua was involved in a car accident and not a single ambulance showed up. Someone that rich and globally known. People only gathered around him like it was a carnival. No safety measures. No trained response. Just chaos. An accident that claimed two lives o! Last month, an aide to a sitting governor was stabbed at a political event.. Somebody lifted him on his shoulder ! Such a gory sight! Still no ambulance Not even for a governor’s aide. That is real poverty. In Nigeria, money does not save you in a crisis. Influence does not protect you. When it matters most, everyone is poor. To the rich and influential Nigerian who thinks demanding a better country is for the poor masses, one day you will understand. In an emergency, you are just as poor as the rest of us. Nigeria is poor. Poor poor. RIP to the dead and wishing Anthony Joshua quick recovery.
