A Canada-based Nigerian photojournalist has criticized what he describes as growing public indifference to violent tragedies in Nigeria, following reports of teachers being killed in a widely circulated video.

In a video shared online, the journalist compared the situation in Nigeria with his experiences in Canada. He recalled how the Canadian government declared a national day of mourning after a school shooting and how he was granted time off work after covering a fatal school-related accident due to the emotional impact of the assignment.

According to him, repeated exposure to violence has made many Nigerians appear numb to disturbing events, with people often moving on quickly after tragedies occur.

He also criticized Bola Tinubu, alleging that political attention is already shifting toward the 2027 presidential election despite ongoing security concerns and loss of lives in parts of the country.
