Nigeria's First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has urged Nigerians to stop badmouthing the country, insisting that the era when Nigeria was branded the “most corrupt country” is over.

Mrs Tinubu, who is on a two-day working visit to Gombe State, stated this while speaking at the palace of the Emir of Akko, Lamido Akko, HRH Alhaji Umar Muhammad Atiku on Thursday, October 2, 2025.

According to Mrs Tinubu, the world now regards Nigeria as a nation of opportunity and growing interest.


She argued that international perception of the country is shifting positively and that Nigerians must embrace national pride.

Though i understand how point. What we say about our own country greatly influences what outsiders say about it as well but then again the government shouldn't be giving us reasons to bad mouth the country.

 

[Augusta]

Yes, they need to give us good things to talk about our country. I would champion this as a good citizen

The leader's statement is encouraging. It is true that the image of a nation is built by its citizens. If we always speak badly then even foreigners see it that way. We should start showing patriotism even in our daily words.

 

[Augusta]

Yeah we just have to be patriotic. But then the leaders must also help make us feel good about our country

No citizens can bad mouth a country if its government is doing well for the country's progress and development. Appreciation is built on what people say and hear. Those who bad mouth have the same feedback and evaluation of how Nigeria is run by President Tinubo.

Well said, if the country is doing well, the citizens would not talk bad about the country and would do anything to defend it.

 

[Augusta]

Simple, the bad mouthing will stop immediately they start doing the right thing and we have positive changes

 

[Min George]

We should not bad mouth the country when her husband and his cronies are looting the country dry.

The citizens will never stop spreading negative rumors and views about the government if they do not see the real situation of your country. Just imagine that famous terrorists Boko Haram until now they wreak havoc to the civilians.
