Nigerian filmmaker Steven Ndukwu has stirred conversations online after making a bold observation about the country’s priorities.
Reacting to the sight of a Tesla Cybertruck parked in a village backyard in Ibadan, Ndukwu wrote:
“Nigerians will import luxury before infrastructure. No stable electricity, no charging stations, terrible roads, but somehow a Cybertruck is chilling at a backyard in someone’s village in Ibadan.”
Steven Ndukwu’s statement has since gone viral, with many Nigerians agreeing that the obsession with luxury often overshadows the need to fix basic infrastructure like electricity, roads, and functional charging systems for electric cars.
The post has sparked a heated debate online, with some praising the boldness of those who import luxury vehicles regardless of the challenges, while others insist it highlights misplaced priorities in the country.
