I Wish you Jealousy And Hate - Stephanie Olughu

A Facebook comment on a romantic post read: “Sending jealousy and hate all the way from Abuja.” This remark isn’t just a personal grievance but a reflection of a troubling trend in online behavior. It reveals how social media can become a platform for spreading negativity and personal insecurities.

The mention of “jealousy and hate” shows a deliberate attempt to inflict harm, while “from Abuja” adds a geographical element that can intensify the impact. Such comments highlight the darker side of social media, where anonymity often emboldens people to voice hostility they might not express in person.

To combat this, fostering a culture of empathy and respect online is essential. By promoting positive interactions and supporting those affected by negativity, we can work towards a more supportive digital community and counteract the spread of malice.
