A post allegedly showing Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, criticizing Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu over the demolition of Igbo properties at the Trade Fair Complex sparked a heated online debate. While many focused on the alleged injustice of the demolition, one user diverted the discussion to tribal insult, writing, “Yoruba only no how to make mouth when time reach they will run,” implying Yoruba people are cowards — loud but incapable of action. This kind of comment is divisive and unproductive. Instead of addressing the issue of property rights or government overreach, it fuels ethnic tension and paints an entire group of people with a single negative stereotype.
