When Remi Tinubu, wife of President Tinubu, stated that the era of labeling Nigeria as one of the most corrupt countries is over, many people expressed disagreement — which is understandable in a democracy. However, one user crossed the line by commenting, “Yabaleft, una patient don run o,” implying that she was a mentally ill patient who had escaped from a psychiatric hospital. This kind of comment is not only disrespectful but also stigmatizes mental health issues. It replaces constructive dialogue with mockery, making it impossible to engage meaningfully on governance or accountability. Disagreement should never turn into demeaning or dehumanizing insults.
