“Does Nigeria Respect Talent or Just Popularity?”

    Nigeria is full of gifted minds.

    Coders. Writers. Artists. Engineers. Thinkers.

     

    But it often feels like the only way to “make it” is to be loud, controversial, or viral.

    Do we really respect talent — or just popularity?

     

    Let’s unpack this 👇

     

    2/

    You can be the best at what you do —

    But if you’re quiet, humble, or still growing,

    Nobody notices.

     

    Meanwhile, someone with less skill but more followers gets the deals, praise, and spotlight.

     

    3/

    Our society has turned talent into a game of clout.

    Noisy over skilled.

    Famous over brilliant.

    Trendy over consistent.

     

    This is why so many geniuses are poor — and so many influencers are rich.

     

    4/

    Let’s be honest:

    A tech bro solving real problems will get less applause

    Than someone posting skits about relationships.

     

    Because we don’t reward impact — we reward entertainment.

     

    5/

    This is why talented Nigerians leave.

    Abroad, you get recognized for your work.

    Here, you go unnoticed unless you’re trending or connected.

     

    That’s why we keep exporting greatness… and importing mediocrity.

     

    6/

    But there’s hope.

     

    More Nigerians are waking up.

    We’re beginning to appreciate excellence over noise.

    We’re learning that real success is built, not just followed.

     

    Let’s build a country that sees talent early — not just when the world validates it.

     

    7/

    To the talented ones grinding in silence:

    Your time will come.

    Keep building.

    Keep creating.

    And when the world finally notices,

    They’ll realize you were always ahead — just ignored.

     

    💭 What do you think?

    Does Nigeria value real skill? Or just social hype?
