@HlogiMoleXx Who said they didn’t receive license? Why do you always have to assume the worse when ur comes to kasi flava? Anyway, SAFA issued a lot of licenses to local & international companies this World Cup & they’re a part of that group

@romanbuso21 @JacobsBen To be fair, USA has a reason for banning Somali & it's very much valid.

@MarioMambo @emini_truth31 Don’t lie, FIFA provides no funds… Tax payers of the country & municipal rate payers finance everything. You bid, prove you have money & fifa will support operation costs & at times transportation during the World Cup period. Don’t lie for no reason.

@david71136032 @dammiedammie35 Generate a thousand Ai quotes, but we are not Mandela nor do we want to take a direction he’d take, allow us to forge our own, those who align with us will walk along & those who don’t won’t, our parents died on these streets for us, you weren’t with us then, it was diplomatic

@david71136032 @dammiedammie35 In the 3 decades Nigeria has been in SA can you tell me their 5 multinationals businesses that they’ve built & employ locals? It’s not normal that SA through PIC keeps exporting job opportunities to 🇳🇬 & you keep exporting criminals, churches & poverty to us.

@david71136032 @dammiedammie35 If you think the abductions of children, teachers & principals is bad, wait till 2030 when cannibalism will stop being a Northern Nigeria issue but a wide spread act going down to Lagos & Abuja too, any sense of human instinct will be virtually gone, & APC still in charge

[Gossip Mill Nigeria @GossipMillNaija]

Breaking News: “Please, I have come to make some clarification. Today makes it 24 days that we have been in this place. Some press media outlets are complicating the issue by stating that the people who abducted us requested N1 billion ransom and demanded Sharia law across the country. These claims are not true” - Abducted principal, Rachael Alamu of Community High School, Ahoro-Esinle cries out

@david71136032 @dammiedammie35 & no you’re not suffering from some bad leadership fugazi, you’re simply bad people as a collective, you can’t live amongst yourselves as different tribes & yet expect to build a prosperous country whilst divided by tribes & religion? Nah, Nigeria will get worse as you age.

@BonganiMabi @2muchRizz_Tim @mr_shimmy Nobody is restricted, it's just them being considerate... it happens in almost all environments, people just shift to the dominant language in that space, at that moment, otherwise there are no restrictions.

@SimiloBanzi @NathiG17016 @MakhombothiMzi1 @Sthamber @AdvoBarryRoux The diversity only shows up in those numbers, in positions of power that control & direct the military wrath of SA & government financially sector there isn’t much diversity or representation of different people from different parts of SA, it’s almost the same group

@barfade @ChifeDr They can be toxic as much as they want, & you can hate watch all you want, at the end of the day it won’t change 78% of Lagos living in poverty, staying in slums & can’t afford rice, or have any access to services that give one human dignity. More things need your attention in 🇳🇬

[Christian James Unya @christianunya]

This is not just a dirty environment. This is poverty speaking loudly.

This trending video here on X is painful to watch, not because it shows dirt, waste, and people struggling under a bridge, but because it exposes a deeper national wound.

This is 2026. This is Nigeria’s so-called mega city. Yet, behind the tall buildings, luxury apartments, political billboards, and government speeches, many citizens are still fighting to survive in places no human being should be forced to call a workplace, shelter, or daily reality.

What we are seeing in that video is not laziness. It is not just poor sanitation. It is the visible result of hunger, unemployment, failed urban planning, inequality, and a system that has pushed millions of people into survival mode.

According to the World Bank, poverty in Nigeria remains very high, with the share of Nigerians living below the national poverty line estimated at 63% in 2025, equal to about 140 million people. The same World Bank also noted that while some economic indicators may look better on paper, household incomes have not fully recovered and poverty remains severe.

This is why videos like this should not be dismissed as “dirty Lagos” or “poor people’s area.” No. This is the economic reality of ordinary Nigerians. People are not living like this because they enjoy suffering. Many are there because the cost of rent is impossible, food prices are unbearable, jobs are scarce, and survival has become a full-time occupation.

The National Bureau of Statistics also reported that 63% of Nigerians, about 133 million people, were multidimensionally poor in its 2022 poverty index. That means poverty is not only about lack of money. It also includes poor access to health care, education, clean environment, decent housing, sanitation, and basic living conditions.

So when we see people sorting waste, sleeping around unsafe spaces, pushing heavy loads, and trying to make money from whatever society has thrown away, we are not just watching a viral video. We are watching the failure of leadership, policy, compassion, and urban development.

A country cannot keep celebrating “mega city” status while human beings are living beside waste, breathing pollution, and struggling under bridges. Development is not only flyovers and skyscrapers. Development is also whether the poor can eat, live safely, access clean water, afford rent, and raise their children with dignity.

The bitter truth is this: Nigeria does not have a poverty problem alone. Nigeria has a priority problem. We spend billions on politics, convoys, elections, propaganda, and luxury governance, while millions of citizens are reduced to fighting for survival inside a country that is rich enough to protect them.
Case study: The City Boy Movement.

The amount of money spent on that useless movement could have been used to help many Nigerians live better lives.

At a time when millions of citizens are struggling with hunger, unemployment, poor housing, and rising living costs, spending heavily on political praise-singing and image laundering shows a serious misplacement of priorities. That money could have supported small businesses, paid school fees, provided food assistance, improved healthcare access, or helped vulnerable families survive with dignity.

This video should disturb every serious Nigerian.

Not because it embarrasses the country, but because it tells the truth we keep trying to package.

Until government begins to treat poverty as an emergency, invest seriously in jobs, housing, sanitation, food security, education, and social protection, videos like this will keep appearing. And each one will remind us that the real Nigeria is not always the one shown in political speeches.

The real Nigeria is also under the bridge.

The real Nigeria is beside the waste.

The real Nigeria is the young man carrying a load bigger than his body just to survive another day.

Before you praise development, audit the people living under it.

🎭 Yes, It is me.
I'm the De Auditor

@DelegentAzania @ErnstRoets Yes, they hire them but if it wasn’t for us they wouldn’t even be able to hire them, they simply take advantage of what’s presented to them, we’re the ones who sell H.A documentations, accept bribes & the border,rent our houses to these people. We’re at the centre of our problems

[SiphoM @MSipho_]

@Nbantu_ @Lebza1238 @WheelsnToys @Grand__Master_M Lastly, for the vast majority of our population which compounded over a short period of time, we do have land but it’s very under utilised, from state owned commercial farms that are vacant to tribal land that has turned into plain fields. There is no will to utilise land

[SiphoM @MSipho_]

@Nbantu_ @Lebza1238 @WheelsnToys @Grand__Master_M Mess they created after slavery? Nobody was enslaved in SA. No population has ever been forced to adopt any western system to life, especially not now. If you’re not happy with how the economy works, you have free will to go to your rural area & live off plants & bartering.

[SiphoM @MSipho_]

@Magoba_21 @SneKhumaloSA EC is the type of place politicians dreams of, a place nobody can have a push back for poor service delivery cause they're a welfare reliant province, majority of the population have lost ability to think cohersively, objective & with logic cause they're all on survival mode

[SiphoM @MSipho_]

@DoobieJhb @mzantsi_fosho @SneKhumaloSA Nothing to do with culture, for a section with a huge population & have been pioneers of colonial & apartheid resistance the expectations are high but hayi they've shown nothing but retardness...closer to Zim's ZanuPF loyalty

[SiphoM @MSipho_]

@Mgcina_Xhamela @kuhle1657237 @SneKhumaloSA @PhakelaMthakath Anc has been voted out in kzn...EC being the poorest in the country, produced a lot of academia people, freedom fighters etc they've surely shown how stupid they are, even further run behind "there's no other alternative"... EC deserves the heat, they're a burden to change.

[SiphoM @MSipho_]

@DelegentAzania @ErnstRoets These people stay in our communities or build their own informal settlements next to ours, they rent from us, we buy from their tuck shops, every problem starts & ends with us.

[SiphoM @MSipho_]

@Ndusi27 @lEsethuHasane It doesn't help that being recognised as a brand got into her head and began to see herself better than every other fan, had a sense of entitlement towards everything, also her being a fan who gets paid to support Mamkhize's team damaged how she's seen

[SiphoM @MSipho_]

@Nbantu_ @Lebza1238 @WheelsnToys @Grand__Master_M Whites don't have any sense of Ubuntu? Yet they run the most NPOs that help the vulnerable, absorb the most black employees in the private sector, any semi successful person wants to relocate to a "white area"... you can make your point but don't say things you can't objectify.
