NL is like nigeria, where people get their news over a bottle of beer....little wonder you have proliferation of beer parlour all over the country, churning out "beer parlour" news. We even have pseudo-intellectuals on NL like katsumotio who duel on inuendo and falsehoods .

otokx: Its no rumor, there has not been any electricity in the University of Port Harcourt since Friday last week which incidentally was our matriculation ceremony.

Afam4eva: @OP
I don't know if you noticed, but the topic in question has a question mark at the end of it which suggests that it's not substantiated and is open for debate. This is not a news site but a forum where people are supposed to discuss issues of anykind whether substantiated ones or possibilities or even rumours. That's why everyone has an account and every topic is not posted by Nairaland Admin.

Sincere 9gerian:
The question mark becomes irrelevant when you read the different comments made in the thread. Why the haste in pushing threads that tends to portray the govt in negative light to the front page? Would NL had suffered any damage if it waited to confirm the report?

By the way, I read your comment on the said thread and didn't look like you took note of the useless question mark. See your comment below:

It seems the question mark issue is an after thought.

By the way, there's a huge difference between "Dr. Christopher Kolade, SURE-P Chairman Resigns?" which was the title of the thread and "Has Dr. Christopher Kolade, SURE-P Chairman Resigned?" which more like asking a question.

But the big question is why the haste in pushing any report the seems to portray the govt in bad light to the front page?

awodman:
Stop this your display of stupidity..I was in uniport on that same day for my younger brother's matriculation and thr was light..precisely I was in Kwame Nkurumah Extension hostel.I can only agree with you if u say the light is not stable.So stop trying to hoodwink us with these your old lines

Afam4eva:
Beside every topic, there's the name of the poster of the topic and it most likely will not read "nairaland Admin". It's left for subsequent poster to either support or counter such a topic by providing proof. Like i said, this is not a news site. It's a forum where anybody can create anything and i'm sure if you read Nairaland's TOS, it reads somewhere that nairaland as a forum is not liable for whatever anyone posts on here.

As for my post on that thread, i was giving the topc the benefit of the doubt. If at the end of the day, it's found that Dr Kolade did not resign, a topic will be created for it and it will most likely be put on the frontpage too.

Katsumoto:

Can you provide links to falsehoods that have been peddled by me? In 4 years, I have started less than 4 threads.

If you can't, then you are just another dolt looking for relevance.

Sincere 9gerian:
There's no point trying to dance naked again. Your comment is unambiguous and CATEGORICAL. Same with 99% of those who posted comment on that thread. You can read it again below:

You have time to even respond to the guy. He doesn't deserve the attention he's trying to get.

eGuerrilla: @Sincere 9gerian, if I might add, you've exhibited an uncanny ability for embellishment yourself - something akin to spreading rumours Or how else should one locate your demonstrative fervour for touting comatose and paper-based projects as the real deal

Contrived disclaimer: I am only pulling your legs... Even your detractors recognise your admirable efforts at image-laundering for Oga at the very top.

+100. Exactly! People propagandists haven't realised that nairaland is a discussion forum, not a news site. If something that is not true is posted, members will easily be able to disprove it during the discussion that follows.

Nairaland doesn't have reporters or editors that go to verify news stories.

Mr display of stupidity, That was the school generator and it was only for some hours, you can call your junior brother to ask him when last he saw electricity from PHCN

Afam4eva:

Whatever people post is their personal opinion and mine was not in the capacity as a Nairaland mod. People post whichever way they want and there are no rules against that aand that's something we have to learn to live with.

Sincere 9gerian:
There's on point trying hide atrocities committed by shameless moderators under "discussion forum". This forum serves multi-purpose, including discussion, interaction, education, entertainent, news reports, socialization,etc A look at the front page will confirm all of those.

I wrote earlier that the false report on the Boko haram amnesty rejection, that made front page two days ago, appeared on major national dailies the following day. I know for sure that it appeared on Tribune and Vanguard.

eggheaders: insecure9ja,always crying like baby.I hope you are not a fuccktard in real life as you portrays here.

superbloke:
Now this isn't making sense anymore. Are trying to say Tribune and Vanguard got their stories from unsubstantiated reports on nairaland? I for one saw the reports on one of the dailies first before nairaland, and it said something like " a faction " rejecting the amnesty.

Sincere 9gerian:
Why should NL be creating an atmosphere for people to express negative personal opinion towards the govt? Because that's exactly what you do by moving BASELESS and unsubstantiated sensitive reports to the front page? What would NL lose if they wait a few seconds and confirm reports about sensitive issues before moving it to the front page?

If we go by the silly arguement you try to put forward, it means one day you'll move an unsubstantiated report about a military coup to the front page. Nonsense!
