After the 1994 genocide, Rwanda adopted strict laws against ethnic division and hate speech, making public incitement based on ethnicity a serious offense. Some argue those laws helped reduce tensions and promote national unity. Looking at Nigeria, where ethnic and tribal insults dominate politics and social media, should we consider stronger laws against hate speech targeting ethnic groups? Or would that give the government too much power over free expression? Where should the line be drawn?

Honestly, tribalism has held Nigeria back for decades. If stricter laws make people think twice before spreading ethnic hatred, I'm all for it.
