Fear Igbo Women - Zuba Ahmed

A video circulating on X shows a woman confessing to getting pregnant and giving her baby up for adoption without her husband’s consent, claiming she did it to hurt him. This revelation sparked significant outrage, with many condemning her actions. Amidst the backlash, one comment claimed, “The lady na Igbo. Fear Igbo women,” despite there being no evidence to confirm her ethnicity.

This comment demonstrates how quickly individuals can resort to stereotypes based on unfounded assumptions. It’s important to recognize that behavior cannot be attributed to ethnicity or gender. Instead of fostering division through generalizations, we should promote understanding and accountability for individual actions. Encouraging respectful dialogue helps build a more inclusive society, free from the biases that perpetuate harmful narratives and misunderstandings.
