News of a US Mayor of Nigerian origin reportedly plotting a racist attack on himself to influence an election has sparked widespread criticism. However, one response derailed the discussion into tribalism: “Of Yoruba origin, which one be Nigeria origin? This tribe will do anything to get attention.”
Such comments divert focus from the individual’s alleged actions to harmful stereotypes about an entire ethnic group. This not only fuels unnecessary division but also detracts from addressing the real issue—integrity and accountability in leadership.
