A viral video of Samsung Galaxy phones being distributed as souvenirs at President Tinubu's first anniversary has sparked outrage in Nigeria. Citizens criticized the government for extravagance amid widespread poverty, highlighting a perceived insensitivity to the struggles of ordinary Nigerians and a need for better resource allocation.
A video has recently gone viral showing the souvenirs distributed at President Tinubu's first-anniversary celebration in the State House, including items such as Samsung Galaxy phones. This has sparked outrage among Nigerians, who criticized the government for what they perceive as unnecessary extravagance in the face of widespread poverty and hunger.
Social media has been ablaze with reactions to the video. One user expressed frustration with a touch of humor, saying, "Serve everybody the shege banza." Another noted the lack of practicality, "They shared phones and they couldn’t share power banks." Others were more direct in their condemnation, "They Shared Samsung Galaxy Phones For June12 Propaganda. You See Why God No Go Forgive Tinubu? How Can You Share Souvenirs Like This In A Country Where Millions Are Hungry! And A Human Being Will Defend Him...You Will Be Shamed."
Another user lamented, "Truly Nigerians never shee shomtin," while a different commenter criticized the government's priorities, "Maybe they are sharing phones to push their propaganda further... Bad governance is a damn problem in Nigeria I swear."
Other users highlighted the disparity between the government's actions and the country's dire economic situation. One remarked, "In a country where more people are being pushed below the poverty line every day. Samsung as a souvenir when we never chop belle full."
The overall reaction underscores a growing frustration with the government's perceived insensitivity to the struggles of ordinary Nigerians. Many feel that resources should be directed towards alleviating poverty and addressing the basic needs of the populace rather than on lavish gifts that do little to improve the lives of the majority.
