“If The Poor In Nigeria Behave The Way The Rich Behave, There Would Be No Nigeria In 48 Hours… How Many Rich People Stopped Their Cars To Help Anthony Joshua During The Acc+dent?” — Seun Kuti Calls Out Rich Nigerian Citizens
Seun Kuti, the Nigerian afrobeat musician and social commentator, has sparked reactions after criticising wealthy Nigerians over their response to the recent car accident involving British-Nigerian boxer Anthony Joshua on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
In his post, Kuti said, “If the poor in Nigeria behave the way the rich behave, there would be no Nigeria in 48 hours… How many rich people stopped their cars to help Anthony Joshua during the accident?” He used the incident to highlight what he described as a lack of social responsibility among the rich, contrasting it with the typical solidarity shown by ordinary Nigerians.
Kuti’s comments resonated widely on social media, igniting conversations about wealth, civic duty, and moral responsibility in Nigeria. He stressed that the behaviour of some affluent citizens during crises reflects broader societal issues, suggesting that a nation would struggle if everyone acted with similar indifference.
This statement adds to Seun Kuti’s history of outspoken commentary on social and political issues, reaffirming his call for more empathy, accountability, and proactive engagement from Nigeria’s elite.
Gospel truth
Na only street boz show him love and support
Which hospital dey carry am go because general Hospital dey on strike
Is government work to help him let everyone speak out
God bless our president asiwaju bola tinubu
Would he have stopped if the reverse was the case ??
I remember when my car was stuck in the mud, It was street boys and four Aboki people that helped me push my car out. See ehh, everybody is important to us, don’t look down on people and what they do to take care of their family.
We should always be ready to extend the same help and grace we expect from people.
Yes, the same way if Anthony Joshua is on the road, he wouldn’t stop to help
Regardless of the bitter lessons some people have learnt in their efforts to assist, generally, civic responsibility is on the low. Make your car breakdown for road first….
Majority of those we call rich today were not born with riches, majority of them were once on the street struggling. But once Fortune smiles on them, they easily forget about those they left behind at the struggling avenue.
Do you think Anthony Joshua would have stopped as well if he was driving on that same road and see an accident scene? (Only God knows).
Kudos to everyone that rushed to rescue them. Most especially those comfortable people that parked their vehicles to join in the rescue operation.
Normal normal na Area boys go help you for accident in Nigeria before Police 🚓🚓🚓 and ambulance 🚑🚑🚑 or fire service 🚒🚒🚒 go come…
Either fire🔥or car accident 🚗 …. even if your car is faulty na area boys will still help you,, just give them something, everywhere go good….
There is an adage that says,Bad boys have his own good day 🤷🤷
If e soft for us, make we dey find them something 😊😊😊
