The heartbreaking death of a Nigerian doctor, who returned to his village in Obingwa, Abia State, for Christmas, has sparked outrage online. Allegedly poisoned by a kinsman during a Boxing Day gathering, the tragedy has been met with both sympathy and unsettling stereotypes.
One comment read, “Fear village people; them no good at all,” perpetuating the narrative that rural communities harbor only malice and danger. Such generalizations not only divide but also overshadow the true issue: a betrayal of trust that cost a life.
