After the EFCC arrested a female Archbishop for alleged Naira abuse, the comment section took a wild turn — and not in a good way. One insensitive user wrote: “Abeg if you get anything wey look like gun whether na your own or not, carry am come out o… E don be for 9ja oo 😂😂😂.”
Joking about weapons and insecurity, especially in a country already struggling with real violence, isn’t harmless banter. It normalizes fear, feeds panic, and turns serious national issues into cheap comedy. People are living through kidnappings, killings, and constant tension — this is not the time to turn firearms into punchlines.
We can laugh online, sure… but not at the expense of people’s safety and sanity. Some jokes simply hit where it hurts.
