A woman was reportedly caught after attempting a fake bank transfer at a store, using the same tactic she had used the previous year, unaware that the shop owners still remembered her. While many reactions focused on the alleged scam itself, one response shifted the conversation entirely by stating, “Fraud is Yoruba culture.” Rather than addressing an individual act, the comment generalized criminal behavior to an entire ethnic group. This kind of stereotyping turns a specific incident into an ethnic attack, unfairly labeling millions of people based on one person’s alleged wrongdoing and reinforcing harmful prejudices that have nothing to do with the facts of the case
