A post by @Neo_official on X read, “I have interacted with quite a number of young women since I came to this Lagos. The Igbo girls were nothing to write home about. The conversations felt like I was negotiating with retarded prostitutes. I can categorically tell you that Igbo women are the worst set of women in this country.”
Such a statement is troubling and offensive, not only for its sweeping generalizations but also for its demeaning language. Condemning an entire group based on personal experiences fails to account for individual differences and spreads harmful stereotypes. Conversations and relationships are deeply personal, and blaming an entire community for a few interactions promotes unfair bias and divisiveness. It’s essential to foster respect across all backgrounds, recognizing each individual’s unique worth and perspective.
