Nice one Seun!! The bitchfests here are soo very playground/ FFK! Yoruba people are not our problem or the problem of Nigeria. We sit next to each other in our churches and should be more concerned with issues like the religious-cleansing in the North. |

This was long overdue and I was actually appalled that it took so long for the forum administrators to enforce such a rule. The bigotry and hate speech that persisted on this platform really made me distant myself from here. 3 Likes |

Anyway, this is going to work just for the moment. Maybe 2, 3 or highest one week, before we all go back to normal. And how is Mynd included in the referee group? What a joke! 1 Like |

I think words that would be banned should be listed so we know them and avoid using them. Not all of us know they are derogatory. 2 Likes |

Omoawoke:Exactly - one would expect such accounts to be banned permanently if this is going to have a chance of working. In fact, I'd go further and suggest a filter be added at registration time to prevent the creation of accounts with such monikers. 3 Likes |

Seun: Seun, did you just notice this now? I was even thinking you have sold off and abandoned the forum because things was getting out of hand. I was once banned by your woke mods for speaking against a religious bigot. Let’s see if things will improve with this announcements. |

Best news today!!? We have noticed the use of ethnic slurs and other derogatory names by a small but persistent group of political actors and trolls. This practice of derogatory name-calling adds no value to the forum. It's bad for our mental health, our harmony as a community, and the reputation of Nairaland. It's simply toxic. It's absence and the absence of the people who use those slurs will not be missed. Therefore I have decided to ban the practice entirely. I have instructed dominique, mukina2, Lalasticlala and Mynd44 to ban anyone who uses an ethnic slur or derogatory name on Nairaland. The antispam bot will also contribute to the effort. Please report any case that you see. - Seun Osewa, Founder of Nairaland[/quote] |

Koralords: Especially now there a loads of hateful comments, likes and shares that indicate some people are so toxic and drowning in hate. Nothing worse than having nothing to do with the hateful wars and getting dragged into it without know what it is truly about. How do people live on hatred so much? It's disgusting what people support. |

I expected this a long time ago. It's unfortunate that a blog which is supposed to be a unifying factor has turned into a ethnic ground of hate and insults. |

About time. The ethnic slur is why many of us stopped posting for a long time. Hopefully, this will bring some sanity. |
