Breaking news that Senate President Godswill Akpabio was hospitalized in London after collapsing sparked intense reactions online. One response read: “I am not a hypocrite, I do not wish those people who cause harm and pain to indigenous people well. I pray they fall down and die so our pains can be eliminated.” While public anger toward leaders perceived as harmful may be rooted in real frustration, this comment is deeply troubling. It endorses death as a solution to political and social grievances, replacing justice with vengeance. Wishing death on individuals does not address systemic failures or heal collective pain. Accountability is achieved through lawful processes, reform, and civic action—not dehumanization. Normalizing such rhetoric only deepens division and perpetuates the cycle of hatred it claims to oppose.
