A video featuring a man advising the Falana family, a prominent Yoruba lawyer family in Nigeria, to allow justice to take its course while fighting corruption sparked a tribalistic comment on X. The user stated, “The most corrupt people in Nigeria are the Yorubas,” which introduces unnecessary division and prejudice into a critical conversation. Such tribalistic remarks derail productive discussions and fuel harmful stereotypes that detract from the real issue of corruption.
Corruption is not tied to a specific ethnic group but rather a systemic problem that affects people across all backgrounds. By framing the issue through a tribal lens, the comment creates a false narrative and sows discord. It’s important to focus on addressing corruption as a national challenge that requires unity, rather than tearing communities apart with baseless accusations.
