YouTuber laments misplaced priorities after spotting Cybertruck in village
A Nigerian travel blogger, Steve Ndukwu, laments the misplaced priorities of Nigerians after spotting a Tesla Cybertruck in a village in Ibadan.
The YouTuber, who is known to have travelled across countries to shoot content, shares his shock after his recent expedition in the southwestern region of Nigeria.
Upon sighting the electric vehicle in a village, Steve expresses shock over Nigerians’ thirst for luxury despite the country’s lack of infrastructure, electricity and other basic amenities.
In a post via his official X page, @SteveNdukwu, he wrote, “Nigerians will import luxury before infrastructure. No stable electricity, no charging stations, terrible roads, but somehow a Cybertruck is chilling at a backyard in someone’s village in Ibadan. Priorities on premium madness 🤣.”
The post immediately sparked reactions from other users who couldn’t help but agree with his view, while a few others argued otherwise.

compoundinnaira argued: “Maybe the guy has set up his own infrastructure? If someone can afford to bring this into Nigeria, they should be able to afford 20-30M for a good power wall and solar set up.”
zubidavies noted: “If we don’t quickly jumpstart our economy and industrialise very quickly, exchange rate will never come down. Only up. Because we will keep importing not just luxury but basic needs as luxury. Emphasis on quickly because these countries are phasing out fossil powered vehicles and replacing them with EVs. Imagine they stop producing them (maybe not now) or they only produce them for export to countries that have delayed catching up. It’s scary.”
yearnerweb3 said: “Is the guy that owns the cyber truck suppose to provide that infrastructure?”
ahsam254 added: “This is an individuality problem. People are trying to make more money so that they can escape the real problems, which are bad leadership. Now, is he gonna drive around with his own charger or what?”
