Classism In Poverty Is Crazy
A Nigerian lady, Lase has been lambasted on the X platform for complaining after a man she met inside a commercial tricycle popularly known as Keke requested for her phone number.
“I’m inside keke, you’re inside keke too. So why should I give you my number?” she wrote on X.
The post elicited varying reactions with many people, including women, calling her out for classism toward a man she perceived to be broke simply because he boarded a Keke.
“Most Nigerian women never sees herself as poor. She just believes she is dating the wrong man,” Irunnia wrote.
An X user described the lady’s attitude as “classism in poverty”
An architect, Khalifa Rabiu recalled meeting one of his bosses inside a public transport.
“I once trekked on foot, rode a bike, and rode a jet all in the same day. It was a huge lesson in humility for me. I met one of my bosses in Public Transport. The man’s net worth humbled me. Not everything is as it seems on the surface the reason why some people are called shallow,” he wrote.
