It Is Only Igbo Men That Traffick Drugs - Onoja Alacrity Godday

The news of a Nigerian man sentenced to 10 years in India for drug trafficking was met with an unfortunate wave of tribal insults. One user confidently wrote: “I know ay na Igbo man.” Such remarks expose how tribal bias clouds judgment. Without proof, some rush to blame Igbos, reinforcing harmful stereotypes. Crime is not tribal; it is human. Singling out an entire ethnic group because of one individual’s wrongdoing is unjust and divisive. These narratives don’t solve problems—they fuel hate. If we truly want progress, we must condemn crime universally, not turn it into a tool for prejudice.
