A Ghanaian Bolt driver has sparked controversy online after expressing his candid views about Nigerians, igniting lively debates across social media.
In a video that has been widely shared on X (formerly Twitter), the driver remarked that Nigerians are often quick to request money a point he made during a conversation with a tourist.
He explained that this was a pattern he had noticed among Nigerians, saying:
“If you go to Nigeria, eeh, the whole people are beggars. They will beg you for money. That’s to tell you how much they beg.”
The remarks have drawn mixed reactions. Some social media users criticized him for stereotyping an entire nation, arguing that such behavior doesn’t apply to everyone.
Others, however, felt his comments mirrored their own experiences while visiting or living in Nigeria.
Responses were immediate and animated. One user commented, “This is true in some places, but you can’t generalize everyone.” Another wrote, “People love to generalize. Ghanaians are the real beggars.”
The clip has reignited discussions online about cultural stereotypes, travel encounters, and the strong reactions that broad generalizations can provoke on social media.

Speaking during an interview with The Citizenship Project, Farotimi noted that Omokri’s previous comments about drug cartels could place him in a sensitive position while serving in the country.
According to the human rights activist, the Nigerian government must ensure that the new ambassador receives strong security protection while carrying out his diplomatic duties.
“You sent Omokri to Mexico after he had been busy running his mouth about drug cartels,” Farotimi said.
“Oh well, he had better make sure that he has a lot of bulletproof cars and vests in that place that he has gone to.”
He stressed that such security measures would be necessary to protect the envoy from potential threats.
Farotimi also used the situation to highlight what he described as the way governance operates in Nigeria.
“But whenever I speak on these things, let us understand clearly that I speak so you will understand that a window has been opened into how Nigeria operates,” he added.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu recently appointed Omokri to represent Nigeria in Mexico as part of a new round of diplomatic postings announced by the federal government.
