On the post where Festus Keyamo, Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation, explained why Comfort Emmanson was remanded in Kirikiri prison, one commenter began by making valid points about the injustice but ended with, “Nigeria is such a stupid place.” While frustration with systemic issues is understandable, such blanket statements insult the entire nation rather than targeting the specific problems or authorities responsible. This kind of comment damages Nigeria’s image, fuels negative stereotypes, and discourages constructive discussion. Criticism should focus on addressing the root causes of injustice, not on making derogatory generalizations that demean the country and its people as a whole.
