A controversial video circulating online has drawn widespread condemnation after a man identified as a Fulani community member issued a heated warning against the continued stigmatization of Fulani people in Nigeria.
In the clip, he argues that it is unfair and dangerous to portray every Fulani person as a terrorist, claiming that such stereotypes could provoke backlash and further tension in the country. His comments, however, also contained alarming rhetoric that many Nigerians interpreted as a threat, sparking strong reactions across social media.
Ethnic associations and civil rights advocates have reacted swiftly, urging Nigerians to avoid blanket generalizations that could escalate existing insecurity and deepen distrust among communities.
Analysts warn that stereotyping any group fuels division and could undermine ongoing national efforts to promote peace and tackle violent crimes through intelligence-based approaches rather than ethnic profiling.
Security experts emphasize that individuals — not entire ethnic groups — should be held accountable when crimes occur, stressing that criminality has no tribe.
