Only The Yorubas Practice Tribalism - Chinedu Edinho

A lady on X recently shared her painful experience of being denied a home simply because she wasn’t from a particular tribe. Sadly, instead of condemning the act, some people used it to push more division. One comment read: “That landlord na Yoruba man. Na only them dey capable of that.” This is another form of tribalism. Discrimination in housing and opportunities is not peculiar to one tribe; it exists across Nigeria. Singling out an ethnic group only blinds us from the real issue. To fight tribalism, we must address injustice wherever it appears, not create new stereotypes.
