A man made a post about a practice he noticed still occurs in Igbo land, where someone accused of being a witch is banned from returning to their community for allegedly using witchcraft to kill others. While highlighting this harmful tradition, he went further to say, “the only ones that are better are the ones that have lived amongst the Yorubas.” This remark unfairly generalizes and compares ethnic groups in a way that fuels tribal bias. It implies that only Igbos exposed to Yorubas are “better,” which is discriminatory and divisive. Criticism of harmful practices should focus on the act itself, not on promoting ethnic stereotypes.
