A Nigerian student has taken to social media to share alarming evidence of her classmates making unsettling jokes about kidnapping, killing, and using her for ritual purposes, leaving her deeply concerned for her safety.
In a detailed post that has gained traction on X (formerly Twitter), the student narrated how she unexpectedly stumbled upon a shocking discussion in her school’s group chat, where her name was mentioned in a disturbing manner.
She explained that although she typically ignores messages in the class group, curiosity led her to check the chat history. To her shock, she discovered classmates openly expressing their dislike for her, with some even joking about harming her.
According to her, the incident started when her class group engaged in an anonymous chat session. Initially, the messages seemed harmless, but as the conversation progressed, she was stunned to find one particular message where someone admitted to hating her, mocking her appearance, her walk, her laugh, and even the self-made wig she wore.
“At first, I didn’t think much of it. People are entitled to their opinions, and if they choose to hate me in silence, that’s their problem,” she wrote. However, what disturbed her the most was when a classmate openly suggested that she should be used for rituals to prevent her from being ‘a waste of space.’
Even more unsettling was the fact that another classmate agreed, and they continued laughing about the disturbing joke in front of others.
Feeling deeply alarmed, she took screenshots of the conversation as evidence but was unsure of what action to take. She questioned whether such remarks should be ignored as mere jokes or treated as a potential threat.
“I mean, how should I react when someone suggests—whether seriously or as a joke—that they hate me enough to kill me?” she asked in her post.
As she tried to make sense of the situation, she recalled that the girl who first brought up the disturbing idea had held a grudge against her for a long time. She explained that their first encounter had been unpleasant when she refused to let the girl touch her hair and nose ring. Since then, the girl had seemingly disliked her and now took things a step further by making sinister remarks.
Additionally, another classmate who contributed to the unsettling conversation was someone who had owed her money for over a year without making any effort to repay it. “To think that this same girl who still hasn’t paid me back is now the one at the forefront of discussing my death is ironic,” she remarked.
Although one student spoke up in her defense by mocking the instigator over her weight, it did little to ease her fears. Instead, she continued to feel unsafe, realizing that this was more than just casual banter.
“This isn’t something I can just laugh off. If someone can openly say such things, then they are capable of much worse,” she stated.
She admitted that, up until now, she had always minded her business and avoided conflicts. However, this situation made her wonder whether she should take action before things escalated further.
“So far, I’ve tried to stay out of drama. But now I’m genuinely scared. Should I ignore this and hope they aren’t serious, or should I take action before one of them actually tries to kidnap me, set me up, or even pour acid on me one day?”
As her story spread online, concerned individuals flooded the comment section with advice, urging her to take the matter seriously and report it to the necessary authorities to ensure her safety.
See some reactions below:
@AdekunleAyan: “Please, where was the class governor during all this? He should be the first person to report this to the department or the course adviser.”
@aryann_celine: “Sometimes, people say cruel things just to hurt you or make you feel small, but that doesn’t mean they’ll act on it. Still, don’t take chances. Tell your parents about this.”
@Estherphils: “Does your school have a Student Disciplinary Committee? Report them immediately. If it results in suspension for a semester or two, let them deal with the consequences.”
@gucciigwenyi: “This is a serious issue. File a criminal complaint as soon as possible. I don’t play around with things like this, especially when it comes to Gen Zs. Escalate it to the highest level. If you need help drafting a petition, I’ll do it for you for free.”
@Meenadeyforyou: “Babes, I was once stabbed with a fork by my roommate because of a small disagreement. My dad made sure she was arrested and signed an undertaking. Don’t wait until things get worse—REPORT THIS.”
@G_minders: “Even if they were just joking, you should report this case to school authorities. (1) It ensures your safety. (2) It teaches them a lesson. (3) It makes them understand the serious implications of such statements. If something happens to you, they should be held responsible.”
@agoodwomanyet: “Get a lawyer and involve the police. If you hit your toe tomorrow, blame them. If your hair starts falling out, hold them accountable. Don’t take this lightly. Even Joseph’s brothers plotted against him. You never know who secretly wishes you harm.”
