The Igbos Are Not Part Of Us Nigerians - Alhaji Anas Haliru

News broke about a Nigerian man sentenced to 10 years in India for drug trafficking. The main report never mentioned his tribe, yet the comment section quickly turned tribalistic. One user wrote: “Point of correction, this man not from Nigeria, is Biafran country.” Such remarks are dangerous because they drag ethnicity into a matter that should focus on crime. Tribal profiling only fuels hate and distracts from the real issue—drug trafficking. No single tribe represents crime. Nigerians must learn to condemn wrongdoing without twisting it into an excuse for prejudice or denying others their national identity.
