News broke that a 27-year-old Nigerian man in New Orleans reportedly killed his father, a university professor, and stabbed his two sisters in a horrific domestic violence incident. It was a deeply tragic story — the kind that should evoke sympathy, fear, and reflection.
Instead, one user responded with: “Igbo Christian do this one ooo…” followed by laughing emojis.
This is the height of insensitivity. Turning a family’s tragedy into tribal banter is cruel and dangerous. Violence has no tribe, no religion, no ethnic label — it is a human problem. Mocking a horrific crime by attaching it to ethnicity not only disrespects the victims but also fuels unnecessary divisions.
Pain is not content. And tribal stereotypes have no place in conversations about human suffering.
