An Indian tourist has stirred controversy after making disparaging remarks about Nigeria following her visit to Lagos. In a statement shared on social media, she described the country in highly negative terms, criticizing its economic struggles, social divisions, and environmental conditions.
Quote
"Everyone in Nigeria begs for money; they’re all beggars. The air smells, and they have the most stupid tribal racism I have ever seen. Not even God can save Nigeria,"
she wrote. Her comments have sparked widespread backlash from Nigerians, who condemned her remarks as offensive and uninformed. Many social media users responded by highlighting Nigeria’s rich cultural diversity, resilience, and economic potential, arguing that her perspective was based on limited and biased experiences.
While some acknowledged the challenges Nigeria faces, they criticized the tourist’s generalization, emphasizing that no country is without its struggles. Others questioned whether she had visited other parts of Nigeria beyond Lagos, urging tourists to explore the country’s beauty and hospitality before forming harsh judgments.
The remarks have ignited debates about how Nigeria is perceived by foreigners, with many calling for a more balanced representation of the nation’s strengths and challenges.
