The controversy began after a lady shared her experience of a man who insisted on paying her transport fare, only to demand her phone number afterward. When she declined, he reportedly took back the money he had paid, sparking widespread debate about entitlement, generosity, and boundaries. Amid the reactions, one comment stood out for the wrong reasons: “He’s from Ibadan, that’s their way.” Rather than addressing the man’s behavior, the remark reduced the issue to a regional stereotype, unfairly labeling an entire group based on one person’s actions. The core issue is consent and expectations—not where someone comes from. Such comments derail meaningful discussion and promote unnecessary prejudice.
