The comment, “Them send your Biafra president to the back,” referring to Peter Obi, highlights the dangers of using divisive language in Nigeria’s political discourse. Labeling Obi as the “Biafra president” reduces him to an ethnic identity, reinforcing harmful divides and undermining national unity.
Such statements shift focus away from important issues, fueling tribalism and toxic political debate. To build a more united Nigeria, we must move beyond these divisive remarks and focus on inclusive dialogue that values leaders for their contributions, not their ethnicity.
