Nigeria Is Not Poor, People Are Not Hustling Hard Enough— BAT Adviser Sparks Debate Amid Rising Cost
A fresh storm has hit Nigeria after Tope Fasua, adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Made a comment many Nigerians are finding hard to accept.
Speaking during a live TV interview, Fasua said Nigeria is not truly poor, insisting that the real issue is how wealth is shared and how people respond to changing times.
His words have quickly gone viral, especially as millions of Nigerians continue to struggle with rising food prices and daily survival.
Catch the full moment that got everyone talking before it is gone. See the part people are quietly rushing to check right now.
Fasua explained that the global economy is changing fast, pointing out that even big foreign companies are laying off workers.
According to him, this means Nigerians must become more creative and proactive to survive, instead of relying only on traditional jobs.
He also argued that more money is now going to states and local governments, which should help boost development at that level.
But many Nigerians are not convinced.
Critics say it is unfair to tell people to hustle harder when the cost of living keeps rising and basic things like food are becoming too expensive.
As reactions continue to pour in, one question remains on many lips. Is this the reality Nigerians need to accept or a sign of deeper problems ahead?
