Do You Know Who I Am?

Nigerians often struggle with the "Do You Know Who I Am?" syndrome, where individuals demand special treatment based on perceived superiority. This behavior is deeply ingrained in Nigerian society, with even those living in communal settings asserting their status over others.

The recent incidents involving Fuji musician KWAM 1 at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport highlight this issue. When asked to drop a flask containing water or alcohol before boarding a flight, KWAM 1 refused and caused a scene, leading to a confrontation with airline staff and the pilot.

This behavior, fueled by a sense of entitlement and power, reflects a larger problem of Nigerian elites acting above the law. The incident serves as a reminder of the need for humility and respect for rules, regardless of one's status.
