Dele Farotimi’s post questioning Tinubu’s election victory generated debate, but one comment in support took a troubling turn, asking, “Is this man really a full-blooded Yoruba? Because he doesn’t compromise the truth,” implying that Yoruba people are not truth-tellers.

Instead of resorting to discriminatory assumptions, it’s essential to engage in discussions based on facts and avoid generalizing groups based on stereotypes.
