“Why Should I Get Angry At Those Who Refuse To Help Me “?– Onyeka Nwelue
OpenLife Nigeria reports that Nigerian author Onyeka Nwelue has set social media buzzing after dropping a candid take on personal responsibility and the expectations we place on others.
In a post that has gone viral, he wrote:
“I never get angry at people who refuse to help me.
Because how come I couldn’t help myself if it was that easy?”
The statement immediately struck a chord with online audiences, generating a mix of admiration, debate, and reflection.
Nwelue’s words are a bold reminder that sometimes the first person we should rely on is ourselves.
Many applauded him for challenging the tendency to blame others when personal challenges could be addressed independently.
Yet, his post has also sparked discussion about the realities of life, particularly in Nigeria, where systemic challenges often make self-help easier said than done.
Social media users are weighing in, sharing personal experiences and debating whether self-reliance should always come first, or if asking for help is equally valid.
What’s clear is that Nwelue’s words have cut through the noise, igniting a conversation on accountability, resilience, and the sometimes-uncomfortable truth that expecting help without first trying to help yourself may not always be realistic.
His post has become a viral reminder to focus on self-empowerment before blaming others.
