Nigerians Reacts To Dj Cuppy’s Independence Message

Popular Nigerian Disk Joker, DJ Cuppy, on October 1st, celebrated Nigeria’s Independence with a tweet “today, we experience the joy and pride of being called NIGERIANS! The greatest nation”

The tweet, however didn’t go down well with a lot of angry Nigerians on social media and they came for her, especially a twitter user @kingwole, who did a thread to address Cuppy’s tweet.

See tweets below:

I get really angry every year when October 1 comes around because what you see is Nigerians who refuse to say the truth about what a messed up country it really is.

How do you go about fixing something if you don’t admit it’s faulty? Are you not tired of these stupid lies?

People are struggling to eat, more families are sliding into poverty on a daily basis than one can even imagine, going out to work and coming back home is a miracle, the President and people around him are too busy focusing on re-election to worry about anything else…

And you, the child of one of the richest men in the country, who has studied abroad, lived abroad, visited multiple first world counties, can fix your fingers to call it “The Greatest”?

Does it mean you are happy with the way Nigeria is? DFPMO!

I don’t care who gets offended by this. Someone close to her has to start talking to her about this shit. She’s always coming across as insensitive.

Can’t believe people are triggered by Cuppy calling Nigeria “greatest Nation”.
How can you be triggered by someone’s point of view towards their own country?
It’s like telling your parents not to see you as a great child because other children are greater than you. 😂

I’ll say this real quick, calling Nigeria “the greatest nation”, especially when you’re in the 0.5% mega privileged bracket, is an insult to every Nigerian who has to suffer every single day because of the REAL and unnecessary challenges they face. https://t.co/HHKwFmEh1E
