One comment under the post about a Nigerian man jailed in India read: “No be Chukwudi be dix 😂.” This statement is another attempt to tie criminal behavior to the Igbo tribe, despite the fact that the man’s tribe was never mentioned in the original report. By carelessly attaching the name “Chukwudi,” the commenter reinforces stereotypes and fuels unnecessary tribal prejudice. Crime is committed by individuals, not tribes, and dragging an entire ethnic group into one man’s wrongdoing is unfair and harmful. Such comments do not solve the issue—they only deepen divisions among Nigerians.
