Reading a LinkedIn post by former Senator Babafemi Ojudu on Chinụa Achebe’s famous literary work, the observation that “when idiots get rich, they don’t mix with others” offers a piercing commentary on the pervasive phenomenon of isolation that often accompanies wealth acquired through corrupt means. This sentiment finds poignant resonance in contemporary Nigerian society, where corrupt politicians, businessmen, religious leaders, and even professionals often distance themselves from the very communities and relationships that once defined them.
