With tensions already high after Nnamdi Kanu’s sentencing, one user jumped straight into dangerous waters with the comment: “Now is time for my own people Biafra. When recruiting Biafra soldiers, sure am number.”
It’s the kind of statement that may feel bold in the heat of anger, but it carries real-world implications. Nigeria is already juggling multiple security crises — adding calls for armed separatist recruitment is a shortcut to more violence, not justice. Emotional reactions are human, especially when people feel unheard or unfairly treated. But turning frustration into a willingness to “join soldiers” only deepens the wounds and fuels instability.
Demand fairness, demand reforms, demand accountability — but glorifying armed conflict only drags innocent people into a fight they never chose.
