A disturbing comment surfaced after Fela’s son, Made Kuti, got married to an Igbo woman. One man wrote: “The face of another foolish Yoruba man who married a useless osu Ibo woman, it will never be well for those of you who are mixing Ibo blood with Yoruba blood.” This statement is not just tribalistic but deeply hateful, attacking both inter-tribal marriages and the humanity of the couple. Love should never be reduced to ethnic boundaries, and such comments only fuel division in a country already struggling with unity. Respect for personal choice and harmony between cultures is what truly matters.
