The hypocrisy of cyberharassment: the call for collective responsibility

Fatshimetrie, a platform dedicated to analyzing societal and cultural trends in Africa, has delved into concerning issues like cyberbullying, a prevalent problem in schools worldwide. Recently, a disturbing video depicting students bullying a peer at the Lead British International School in Abuja ignited widespread outrage and discussions online.

Notable influencer Tacha took to social media to express her views on the matter, shedding light on the hypocrisy apparent in society’s reactions. She astutely pointed out the paradox of individuals clamoring for justice for bullying victims despite potentially being bullies themselves in their school days or overlooking such actions among their peers.

Tacha articulated, “This selective outrage in Nigeria is baffling. Suddenly, everyone is demanding ‘justice for…’ as though they weren’t once bullies in high school. It’s as if they never witnessed their friends tormenting younger students or stealing from them for no reason.”

This stance underscores a deep-seated societal issue: the lack of collective accountability for bullying behaviors. It’s imperative to acknowledge the severe impact cyberbullying and harassment have on victims, emphasizing that combating this scourge is a shared responsibility.

The discussion sparked by the school bullying incident underscores the pivotal role of awareness and education in fostering a safe and respectful school environment. It is crucial for society to act cohesively and decisively to eradicate bullying, recognizing that everyone plays a part in cultivating a more inclusive and compassionate world.

Fatshimetrie remains committed to monitoring such critical societal matters and fostering constructive dialogues to nurture respect and empathy within our communities.
