Stop Blaming Tinubu for Global Hardship – Banji Alabi Cites Food Queues in UK, Poverty in US
Lawyer and public commentator Banji Alabi has urged Nigerians to look beyond President Bola Tinubu when discussing the country’s economic challenges, arguing that poverty, hunger and homelessness are also affecting people in some of the world’s wealthiest nations.
In a message released to our heritage Reporter online, Alabi cited a video purportedly showing people queuing for food in Harlesden, North West London, on October 24, 2026, alongside reports of poverty and homelessness in the United States.
He argued that the scenes illustrate the global nature of economic hardship and called on Nigerians to embrace compassion, support vulnerable people and contribute positively to society rather than resort to blame and destruction.
Good Morning Friends
YESTERDAY I SHOWED YOU THE VIDEO OF GNASHING POVERTY, HUNGER AND HOMELESSNESS IN THE UNITED STATES.
TODAY I AM SHOWING YOU THE VIDEO OF PEOPLE QUEUING FOR FOOD IN THE UK.
WATCH THIS VIDEO VERY WELL.
Saturday, 24th October 2026. Harlesden, Craven Park Road, North West London.
I am not showing anybody’s face. Just their feet. But this is what is happening now.
In one of the richest countries in the world. The 4th, 5th, or 6th richest country in the world — and people are queuing for food.
2026 in London. People are queuing for food.
This is terrible. This is absolutely terrible.
2026, we have people queuing for food in England. One of the richest countries in the world and people are queuing for food. It’s disgraceful. Somebody sort it out. Shouldn’t be happening.
My brothers and sisters, hear me:
There is economic adversity in the world.
This is not Tinubu. This is not Nigeria alone. This is the whole world.
Yesterday, America — gnashing poverty, hunger, homelessness.
Today, Britain — food queue in London, in Harlesden.
If the 4th, 5th, 6th richest country in the world has people queuing for food, what do you want Tinubu to do?
Please stop blaming Tinubu.
Stop blaming one man for a global adversity.
America is suffering. Britain is suffering. Europe is suffering. The whole world is suffering.
Hunger is not a Nigerian invention. Poverty is not a Tinubu invention. Hardship is global.
The Prime Minister of Britain is not responsible alone. I am not blaming him. He is not responsible, but the country is England in 2026 and people are queuing for food.
So why do you think Tinubu alone is responsible for Nigeria?
Open your eyes.
Instead of blaming, let us be builders.
Instead of destroying, let us build.
Instead of cursing, let us ask:
WHO IS BLESSED BECAUSE YOU ARE BLESSED?
That is the only question Heaven will ask you.
Not — How much did you make?
Not — How many cars did you buy?
But — *WHO became better because you existed?
LET YOUR LIFE BE AN EVIDENCE THAT SOMEONE’S LIFE CAN BE CHANGED.
If Britain is queuing for food, if America is homeless, then your assignment is not to blame — your assignment is to be a river, not a warehouse.
A warehouse stores. A river flows.
Sponsor one child.
Mentor one youth.
Feed one person.
Teach one person a skill.
Visit one orphanage.
Pay one person’s hospital bill.
Do not allow your blood to be spilled as a stepping stone to politicians whose children are enjoying the best of life in the most beautiful locations of the world.
Be a builder and not a destroyer.
The law provides avenues to seek redress. Follow the due process of the law.
Let us not destroy the edifice — Let us NOT destroy Nigeria in anger, because tomorrow we will need shelter under it.
Build people. That edifice will never fall.
So I say again:
Yesterday — USA.
Today — UK.
Tomorrow — who next?
There is economic adversity in the world.
Please stop blaming Tinubu.
Let your life be an evidence that someone’s life can be changed.
God bless Nigeria. God bless you.
You Will Succeed
Banji Alabi, Esq.
