Today, we experience the joy and pride of being called NIGERIANS! The greatest nation.

Wᴏʟᴇ́@KingwoleI’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.

Wᴏʟᴇ́@KingwoleI 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?
Wᴏʟᴇ́@KingwolePeople 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…
Wᴏʟᴇ́@KingwoleAnd 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!
Wᴏʟᴇ́@KingwoleI 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.
Tomiwa Talabi@itsTomiwaWhat has Dj Cuppy done to deserve all these hate? Is it a crime to be born into a rich family?
Otedola@MrOkeke_LMAOO. You people left your travel blogger president and started blaming Cuppy. Una no well
Leo Babarinde Dasilva@SirLeoBDasilvaCan’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.

Brownie@Omotee_13I’m really sick and tired of people who use every tiny opportunity to insult and say mean things to Cuppy and her sister because they are privileged kids… it’s not their fault.
Buckle up so your kids can live privileged lives too.
It’s really disgusting

That Wole guy just directed the whole anger and frustration in his body on an innocent DJ Cuppy who’s only trying to enjoy her ‘privileged’ life.
Liz@Liz_khalifarLeah Sharibu and the other victims of the insurgent attacks can’t say the same Cuppy. Nigeria isn’t a great nation, it’s a shithole.

You guys should let Cuppy leave abeg. If she had criticized Nigeria, you will still be the ones saying she is not doing anything to make it better.
