The passing of Chief of Army Staff, Lt General Taoreed Abiodun Labaja, was met with heartfelt tributes from many who acknowledged his significant role in tackling insurgency. However, one insensitive comment stood out, reading, “He went to the southeast for Udoka, went to the north for Lafia Dole, went to Benue for Saki. Make he go explain to God last last.”
This comment, lacking empathy, dismisses the seriousness of his work and the sacrifice he made for national security. It trivializes the loss and disrespects his contributions. Regardless of political opinions or past actions, it is important to show respect for individuals, particularly in moments of death. Insensitive remarks like this not only show a lack of humanity but also hinder healthy, respectful discourse on issues of national importance.
