The comment, “this yeye boi should live his own life and stop all this cho cho,” directed at VDM after he exposed corruption in the EFCC, is dismissive and undermines the importance of speaking out against injustice. Criticizing someone for exposing corruption rather than supporting the fight against it reflects a concerning mindset. Corruption, especially in institutions like the EFCC, affects everyone, and individuals who have the courage to bring these issues to light play a crucial role in promoting accountability and transparency.
Telling someone to “mind his business” in such a situation discourages active citizenship and perpetuates a culture of silence, which only allows corruption to thrive. Instead of belittling those who speak up, we should encourage more people to hold institutions accountable and demand better governance. Exposing wrongdoing should be celebrated, not criticized.
