A video on Instagram showed a woman using her hands to mix “Abacha,” a local delicacy, for sale to customers. Under the post, a user commented, “This thing kills in Lagos.” Such a remark can have damaging consequences, especially for small business owners. While concerns about hygiene are valid, making sweeping generalizations can tarnish someone’s livelihood and contribute to misinformation. Instead of making harsh comments, it’s more constructive to promote awareness about food safety and encourage vendors to adhere to proper hygiene standards. Thoughtful criticism can create better outcomes without damaging reputations.
