In response to a video of police allegedly brutalizing a man in Port Harcourt, a comment stated, “Nigerians are cowards,” unfairly generalizing the populace.
This kind of remark dismisses the resilience and bravery Nigerians have shown, particularly in movements like End SARS, which highlighted citizens’ courage in demanding accountability and justice. Labeling Nigerians as cowards overlooks the systemic barriers and risks many face when confronting oppression, such as intimidation, violence, and lack of institutional support.
