Easterners (Igbos) are The Most Tribalistic Tribe - Valexka Anumaka

The comment *”I won’t be surprised if the person is from the east”* in response to a tribalistic remark reinforces harmful stereotypes and fuels division among ethnic groups. By attributing tribalism to a specific region, the comment perpetuates prejudice and deepens existing societal divides. Such statements foster suspicion and hostility rather than promoting unity, and they contribute to a culture where people are judged based on their ethnicity rather than their individual actions.

Tribalism is a broad issue, and blaming one ethnic group for it is both unfair and misleading. Instead of assigning blame based on stereotypes, efforts should focus on fostering understanding and respect among different cultures. Comments like these only perpetuate negative perceptions and hold back progress toward building a more inclusive and harmonious society.
