A troubling statement on X read, “Even Burna Boy can tell Phyno and Flavour to leave Lagos, we Yorubas will support him, and there’s nothing any Igbo immigrant can do about it.” This divisive comment fuels ethnic tension between the Yoruba and Igbo communities, framing Lagos as a territory where Igbos have no rights or belonging. Such rhetoric is dangerous because it normalizes discrimination, promotes hate, and undermines the peaceful coexistence that Nigeria’s diversity depends on. Statements like this don’t just attack individuals — they deepen tribal mistrust, pit Nigerians against each other, and threaten national unity over baseless sentiments.
