A report surfaced about three men from South Eastern Nigeria caught with illicit drugs—two returning from Brazil and one arrested in a Lagos hotel. While the crime itself is serious, one comment stood out negatively: “The usual suspect.” This stereotype wrongly paints all Igbos as drug traffickers. Crime is an individual choice, not a tribal identity. Such remarks deepen ethnic bias and unfairly stigmatize millions of innocent people. Nigerians should condemn crime without resorting to harmful generalizations. Holding individuals accountable is just, but labeling an entire ethnic group promotes division rather than solutions.
