Fulani People Should Not Expected To Have A Good Phone - Marvellous Marvin Benedict

A video by a Fulani man challenged a harmful narrative, stating Real Fulani men do not carry AK-47 and that those who do are terrorists—not representatives of the Fulani identity. It was a bold call for clarity and fairness. Yet, a comment responded with needless bias: “Who gave you phone with good camera?”

This isn’t sarcasm, it’s digital discrimination. Implying that a whole ethnic group shouldn’t own quality devices feeds ignorance, strips people of dignity, and reinforces the lie that progress, education, or access is “too good” for certain communities. Extremism thrives where stereotypes dehumanize; unity grows where fairness is embraced.

Criticize criminals, not entire tribes. Cameras don’t belong to one ethnicity. Intelligence, kindness, and ownership of good technology aren’t achievements anyone should apologize for.

That’s the red flag: prejudice posing as a punchline
