After the scuffle between Mr. Jollof and VeryDarkMan made its rounds online, people flooded the comments with their hot takes. But one particularly insensitive comment stood out: “My fellow Nigerians please we can host Mr Jollof and VDM a cage fight.”

It’s wild how quickly some folks turn real-life conflict into entertainment, like these are fictional characters in a video game. Encouraging a “cage fight” isn’t just tasteless — it normalizes violence and trivializes the fact that these are actual human beings, not gladiators performing for public amusement.

Moments like this show how social media can make people numb to boundaries. Instead of promoting peace or accountability, some would rather escalate tension just for laughs and engagement.

Not every drama needs an audience, and definitely not a cage.
