There have been several responses from social media users following Mallam Nasir El-Rufai’s, a notable member of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and former Governor of Kaduna State, release of a report claiming Nigeria now honors criminals and thieves.
El-Rufai shared a contentious article that critiques the current state of Nigeria.
On Saturday, El-Rufai published the report via his verified X account (formerly Twitter). The article, written by Basil Odilim and titled “A Nation of Barbarians in Identity Crisis,” raises alarms about the country’s declining moral standards.
The piece suggests that Nigerian society has drifted away from valuing substance and integrity, now placing more emphasis on fame and superficial popularity. In alignment with the article’s viewpoint, El-Rufai commented:
“This is Nigeria, a country drunk on its own chaos—where criminals are glorified, fraudsters become influencers, pastors bow to thieves, and intellectuals scramble for leftovers. We now manufacture only one product: celebrities.”
The post quickly sparked discussion, with numerous users on social media weighing in on El-Rufai’s remarks and the article’s broader implications.
