WE SAY NO TO ETHNIC SLUR - BUT WHAT IS THE NOISE ABOUT?
I condemn, in its entirety, the promotion of ethnic slurs in any shade, type, or form. I offer this rebuke as a plea for peace - because every word of seeming hate is a spark that sets tribal tensions aflame, widening the fragile bridge of unity already stretched beyond logic or possible repair.
That said and established, I will not also join the congregation of denial or dwell in the cathedral of self-delusion. In the pursuit of oneness, we must not sacrifice truth on the altar of pretense.
Since time began - and particularly in Africa - people have been identified by peculiar traits, crafts, and habits. Such is the way of cultures and traditions.
Restricting my view to Nigeria:
The IJEBUS have long been labeled for their fondness for owanbe, for juju-wielding, and for thriftiness that are sometimes exaggerated as stinginess. Yet, no Ijebu man draws his sword at such generalization, knowing full well it’s a harmless jest, not a call to arms.
The IBADANS, on their part, are famed for street fighting - so much so that their eulogy itself hums with the rhythm of defiance. Yet, I have friends among them who are as calm as quiet waters, men and women who’d rather break bread than bones. Still, they don’t hurl stones at such labels; they understand that some stereotypes, though exaggerated, are cultural echoes, not deliberate insults.
Northerners, too, are often tagged for their simplicity or naivety. Even in the days when a Fulani sat in the Villa, the social spaces crackled with taunts of illiteracy, the North never erupted in chaos.
No brand was canceled, no crusade launched. The Arewa digital space remained calm, almost regal in restraint. Perhaps they pardoned our ignorance, knowing they carry within their fold professors, technocrats, and scholars aplenty - men and women who let noise die in the wind, unbothered by the mockery of those who do not see beyond their bias.
Now, if a people are branded Cheaters, before springing into offense or defense, wisdom demands interrogation: why was such an impression made? Was this the first echo of such sentiment? Possibly not. It is an age-old perception - one that has found expression even in their own art. Their movie scripts have often painted the same image; their celebrated actors made fame from roles of ritualists, conmen, and drug lords. “Oyinbo man, I go chop your dollar” - was not a melody by a Nupe Man.
The truth remains eternal: not every man from that region is a cheater, nor is every son of that soil criminally minded. The same rule that shields the Ijebu, the Ibadan, and the Northerner applies. Yet, impressions don’t spring from thin air; they are born of lived realities and historical footprints that refuse to fade.
When our filmmakers were thrown into penury because their intellectual treasures were pirated into dust, who were the fingered culprits?
When Dora Akunyili waged war against fake drug barons, who were the faces behind the counterfeit?
And for decades, since our marriage in 1914, the Yoruba have been unfairly branded as cowards - despite producing some of the fiercest lions to ever roar in African history: Sango, Ogedengbe, Moremi, Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, Benjamin Adekunle, etc giants whose courage could light up a nation.
Yet, the Yorubas did not disrupt the atmosphere with turbulent protest. They did not cry “cancel!” at every tongue that mocked. Instead, they rewrote the narrative with deeds of valor, proving bravery not by noise but by tactical action.
If we truly desire the erasure of a criminal image from the public psyche, then the burden is not on anger but on reformation. That group - as a collective - must rise above its notorious few, must polish the stain from its own fabric, lest the sins of the few continue to shadow the honour of the many.
Are you CHEATERS? Maybe! Maybe Not!! But Reformation not Cancelation is the Solution to the Exaggeration!!!
Good Morning Severally...
