A Nigerian postgraduate student was jailed in the UK for raping a 17-year-old girl in Bradford and sentenced to 10 years in prison. While the case raised discussions about justice and morality, one disturbing comment read, “I’m convinced a lot of Nigerian men are naturally predators.” This kind of generalization unfairly labels an entire gender and nationality based on one person’s crime. It shifts the focus from individual accountability to collective blame, fueling hate and reinforcing negative stereotypes about Nigerian men instead of promoting meaningful conversations around justice, consent, and morality.
