A Nigerian man has cried out to President Bola Tinubu, asking him to fix the country as he struggles to raise his family on a N70,000 monthly income.
In a viral video, the man said the rising cost of living has made it difficult to care for his wife and six children. His appeal quickly gained attention online.
The video triggered mixed reactions, with many focusing on his family size.
One user wrote: “6 children with 70k? Is bad but the president will not help control child birth. That is why children should be planed first, if income is not enough reduce the number of children being born. Don’t bring a child to come suffer or manage.”
Another said: “I keep telling people, by the time you understand the Nigeria Government doesn’t give a damn about how you live your life, we’d live life a little better.”

Some suggested the video was not serious. “It was a sarcasm to insult those who blame Tinubu for all their problems,” a user commented.
Others were more critical. “This is the type of complains I hate to watch, not that I am in support of Tinubu poor leadership but seeing grown a*ssh man complaining like a child is annoying,” one reaction read.
Another asked: “Why will a man who earns 70k have 6 children?”
A different user added: “Giving birth to so many children that you can’t take care of is not the fault of government, but your poor life choices.”
The video continues to spark debate online.
