After news broke that Aisha, the woman kidnapped in Edo State, had been released after paying ₦20 million ransom—with no acknowledgment from the governor or security agencies—many Nigerians expressed outrage. However, one user crossed the line, commenting, “Which governor in the whole Nigeria is not foolish just like their president.” While frustration with leadership is understandable, labeling every government official “foolish” only promotes disrespect and hostility rather than accountability. Criticism should be rooted in facts and aimed at change, not insult. Constructive dialogue—not blanket condemnation—is what truly drives governance reform and restores public trust.
