After a user mocked Nigerians for following Priscila Ojo’s newborn son’s Instagram page, another responded with, “People when their brain no dey function.” Though meant as a clapback, this statement is equally harmful because it still implies Nigerians lack sense. Defending your people should not involve reinforcing the same insult you are fighting against. Such comments only deepen negative stereotypes about Nigerians. Instead, responses should highlight the positive—how Nigerians show love, support, and community spirit online. Fighting insult with insult never solves anything; it only drags everyone down. Let’s defend our identity with pride, not more negativity.
