Original post: a man begged Nigerians for help after a supposedly wealthy stranger — allegedly with naval officers — destroyed his car because of how he drove; he posted video evidence and pleaded for witnesses and accountability.
Comment: “Person wey I go jam press im motor then move.” (I’d ram into his car and drive off.)
Why this is dangerous: that’s a call to commit hit-and-run and vigilante violence. Responding with retaliation makes you a criminal, risks injury or death, and destroys any chance of lawful redress.
Do this instead: prioritise safety, preserve evidence (video, photos, plate numbers, witness names), file a police report, escalate to naval oversight if officers were involved, contact human-rights groups and a lawyer, and share verified evidence publicly to force accountability. Lawful action protects you and helps stop abuse — not more violence.
