Journalist Oseni Ruffai noted that Peter Obi cast his vote in the ongoing Anambra governorship election. Obi lamented that democracy in Nigeria is deteriorating and that those benefiting from bad governance are fueling it.
Comment:
“The Yorubas we have in this generation are so negatively different from how we used to be in the past.”
Blog Post:
This comment shifts the focus from Obi’s important message about democracy to tribal blame. Criticizing an entire ethnic group for national issues only promotes division and hatred. Every tribe has both good and bad individuals; singling out the Yorubas for Nigeria’s problems is unfair and misleading. Democracy requires unity and collective responsibility, not tribal insults. Comments like this deepen mistrust and make genuine reform harder to achieve.

When national issues become tribal attacks, that’s a red flag.
