A toxic comment on X stated, “They think too highly of themselves with their moronic mentality,” targeting the Igbo tribe in Nigeria. This harmful remark perpetuates negative stereotypes and deepens ethnic divisions, fueling hostility and misunderstanding.
Such language reflects broader ethnic bias, which can spread rapidly on social media, normalizing prejudice. In a diverse society like Nigeria, it’s essential to reject these toxic stereotypes and instead promote respect and unity among all ethnic groups.
By challenging harmful rhetoric and celebrating our diversity, we can work towards a more inclusive and harmonious society.
