Jul 14 “Karma Doesn’t Exist for Politicians” – Tunde Ednut Sparks Debate After Buhari’s Death

Popular influencer Tunde Ednut has ignited a passionate conversation on social media after declaring that “karma does not exist” — particularly when it comes to Nigerian politicians. His comments came in reaction to the death of former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, who reportedly passed away on Sunday, July 13, in the United Kingdom at age 82.

🔥 “Karma Is A Lie” — Tunde's Frustration Unleashed

In an emotionally charged Instagram post, Tunde Ednut expressed disbelief that politicians who preside over widespread poverty and hardship often seem to enjoy peaceful lives, elite medical care, and unaccountable wealth — without ever facing consequences for their actions.

“There is definitely no karma for politicians. Karma does not exist,” Tunde wrote.
“Live a good life, good abroad health care, make all the money in the world while your citizens dey suffer.
Finally fly abroad and kpai peacefully. Buhari lived 82 years, escaped all consequences.”

His post triggered a flurry of reactions, with many Nigerians echoing his disillusionment, while others countered with faith-based and generational justice perspectives.

🗣️ Mixed Reactions from Nigerians:

@adesope_shopsydoo: “A lot of evil people do not suffer... not everyone sees karma.”
@p.a_ade: “Some karma are generational, and we will all answer to God one day.”
@olayimartha: “May his soul rest according to his deeds.”
@nwaigbokenep: “Karma is a word used to keep oppressed people from rising.”
@pitakwa_of_uyo: “Real talk. If you are waiting for karma to happen to politicians, pele o.”

💭 OPINION: Is Tunde Ednut Wrong… or Just Saying What Many Feel?

Whether one believes in karma, divine justice, or accountability through law, Tunde’s raw honesty highlights a painful reality: in Nigeria, it often feels like the corrupt flourish, while the common man bears the burden.

The idea that karma will eventually catch up with the wicked is comforting — but perhaps too slow to satisfy a generation that has seen corruption rewarded, looting normalized, and leaders escape scrutiny with state-funded luxury.

Maybe Tunde’s outburst isn’t about denying spiritual truths, but about urging us not to wait for karma, but to demand justice now, build systems that work, and live responsibly for the change we crave.

✊ Final Thought:

Karma may or may not come. But conscience, legacy, and collective action? Those we can control.
Let’s not just wait for karma. Let’s build accountability — in life, not just after it.
