@Sugabelly has an axe to grind with poor people and what she terms their “group behaviours”.
Do see below:
I dislike poor Nigerians.
As a group.
Yes. This is a generalization.
Yes. There are exceptions.
Yes. I know you or I may have been poor b4.— Sugabelly ? (@sugabelly) October 24, 2016
I dislike poor Nigerians, but only as a group, specifically because they have GROUP BEHAVIOURS that terrify me.
Note-this is not individuals— Sugabelly ? (@sugabelly) October 24, 2016
I've known individual poor Nigerians who were lovely people.
I've known individual poor Nigerians who were awful people.— Sugabelly ? (@sugabelly) October 24, 2016
In my worst financial circumstances, I suppose I too have qualified at some points in my life as a poor Nigerian.
But back to that group…

I don't really care that poor Nigerians do thinks that are mind bogglingly counterintuitive like have forty million children and pay tithe

That's their right to do whatever the fuck they want with their time and money.
No, it's a set of beliefs they subconsciously display I hate— Sugabelly ? (@sugabelly) October 24, 2016
For example, many poor Nigerians truly feel they are entitled to other people's property.
Specifically the property of people they deem rich— Sugabelly ? (@sugabelly) October 24, 2016
Many poor Nigerians lack empathy and are downright bloodthirsty.
You're more likely to be murdered for theft around them than anyone else.— Sugabelly ? (@sugabelly) October 24, 2016
So yeah.
Part of why I haven't stepped foot in a market in over ten years.
No thank you.?️

And that’s how poor-shaming rears its ugly head on Nigerian Twitter.
