A troubling comment on X declared, “Are you not motivated to spread tribal hatred? I am motivated o! I owe no one any apology.” This statement highlights the dangerous normalization of divisive rhetoric in today’s digital age.
Spreading tribal hatred deepens ethnic divisions and undermines national unity, particularly in diverse societies like Nigeria. The unapologetic tone of the comment reflects a concerning lack of accountability, suggesting that hate speech is becoming more accepted.
To combat this, social media platforms, leaders, and educators must promote messages of unity and respect. Rejecting tribalism and embracing diversity are essential for building a more inclusive and peaceful society.
