Following the video of two Hausa traders being attacked in the East, another user dropped a comment that only poured more fuel on an already tense situation: “Laugh no gree me type. I thought they had monopoly of madness.”
Comments like this don’t just mock a serious incident — they weaponize stereotypes. By suggesting that an entire ethnic group “has a monopoly of madness,” the commenter turns a troubling but isolated act into an invitation for ethnic ridicule. That kind of talk normalizes prejudice, encourages bitterness, and pushes the narrative that violence or wrongdoing is tied to a tribe rather than individuals.
It’s this casual tribal banter, disguised as humor, that quietly keeps division alive. Instead of laughing at conflict, we should be demanding justice and promoting understanding — not reinforcing dangerous labels
