After Bello Sheriff’s comparison of military rule with Tinubu’s administration, one user crossed a dangerous line, commenting: “Wish he can kpai… I no mention name o,” which was clearly directed at President Tinubu.
This kind of statement is not only insensitive but also reckless. Wishing death on anyone — regardless of political disagreements or dissatisfaction with governance — is deeply wrong. Criticizing policies, highlighting failures, and demanding accountability are valid and necessary in a democracy, but turning to death wishes dehumanizes leaders and promotes a toxic political culture. Beyond morality, such remarks can also be legally dangerous, as they may be viewed as incitement. The focus should remain on constructive dialogue, reforms, and civic responsibility, not hateful speech.
