Why Nigerians Are Calling Tinubu’s Backers ‘Happy Slaves’ Over Endless Borrowing
Social media users have lambasted supporters of President Tinubu for defending the administration’s growing debt and unfulfilled power sector promises. Critics accuse these backers of blind loyalty, branding them “happy slaves” for ignoring the risks of funding development through borrowing. Some commentators pointed out that former minister Wale Edun made similar warnings and was subsequently removed from office.

The discussion is intensifying online, with voices on both sides weighing in on whether external borrowing can ever deliver sustainable growth without accountability.
