When Korra Obidi appeared at a festival wearing a revealing outfit, a commenter shifted the focus from her individual choice to her ethnicity, writing: “She is an Igbo… naso dem dey dress naked in dey tribe… mtcheew.” This remark stereotypes Igbo people as a whole, labeling them as indecent dressers. Such a statement is not only unfair but also harmful because it uses the action of one person to generalize an entire tribe. Negative tribal stereotypes like this fuel division, promote bias, and ignore the diversity and individuality within every culture. Judging people this way deepens unnecessary ethnic prejudice.
