A comment on X stated, “after Yorubas finish eating themselves in their villages, na we in the city go be their next target,” implying that Yorubas are violent and will turn against Igbos next. This harmful and insensitive remark fuels ethnic divisions and perpetuates dangerous stereotypes.
Such rhetoric spreads hostility and mistrust, particularly in a diverse country like Nigeria. It’s essential to recognize the impact of our words and reject language that dehumanizes others. Instead, we should use social media to promote understanding and unity, helping to build a more inclusive society.
