A viral post exposing a married woman allegedly caught cheating stirred heated reactions online. While criticism of infidelity is expected, one comment crossed into dangerous territory: “Nothing fit make me marry Igbo woman.”
This isn’t heartbreak, it’s tribal branding. Infidelity is a personal failure, not an ethnic identifier. Statements like this unfairly target millions of Nigerian women from Igboland, turning one person’s wrongdoing into a stereotype against an entire tribe. Prejudice like this fuels mistrust, encourages discrimination, and deepens ethnic tension in Nigeria—where unity is already fragile.
It’s okay to hold cheating partners accountable. It’s not okay to generalize and condemn a group for actions they didn’t commit. The real red flag is a mindset that shifts blame from the individual to an entire identity.
Broken trust hurts. Tribal hate destroys.
