A recent comment on X (formerly Twitter) directed at Regina Daniels, wife of Nigerian billionaire Ned Nwoko, exposes the dark side of social media. The comment, “she is patiently waiting for Ned Nwoko to kpai,” meaning “die,” reflects a disturbing trend of casual cruelty online.
This kind of remark isn’t just a thoughtless joke; it reveals how normalized dehumanization has become on social platforms. Public figures like Regina are often targets of such negativity, which can have real emotional impacts despite their public personas.
This incident is a stark reminder that behind every screen is a real person with real feelings. Social media users must be more mindful of their words and work to create a more respectful and empathetic digital environment, rather than one where harmful rhetoric is the norm.
