I'm not even talking about modifying the rules.

F*cking take them OFF the Reply page?!!!

I now have to scroll down to reach the Reply Box to start typing, all of that black junk of text is nothing but distracting!

obadiah777: I THINK I HAVE A BIBLE VERSE FOR THAT >>> 2 THESSALONIANS 2 VS 3 for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first,

i thought this verse speaks of d death of many before the great day?

In Seun's Understanding; What is blasphemous to Islam, is Freedom of Speech in Christianity.

By such faulty interpreting of Rule 17, Seun and his MODs have proven once again that they lack the capacity to Understand the Concept of Freedom, Liberty and Blasphemy or he possibly is taking Christians for f00ls incapable of understanding common lexical structures. Should I rather say they are Pro-Islamic Extremism ?

I am not a fan of these Asian Ideologies but my siblings are. So based on that, I am very concerned about the way this issue is handled.

slimyem: All these noise and one thing I know is Seun will never change hiis stance.Too set in his ways to really care about what majority of Nlers are comfortable with or not.

If he doesn't change his stance, then he's evidently stuppid!
And I can assure him that this site will collapse suddenly!

sarutobie: This guy is the owner of a forum that just clicked 1million members few months ago and he is already showing dictatorial tendencies..imagine this same guy heading a state or a country...his arrogance and naïvety will know no bound!...I shudder at the thought of that..power is indeed intoxicating...whether he changes or modifies the rule doesn't matter..I am not bothered since he aint a christain anyway..

SEUN, I DARE YOU ADD A "DELETE ACCOUNT" option on Nairaland and watch your membership strenght reduce to 142.... Insha Allah!

seun, u want make we port abi?

In any case we can insult christians. Rule 17 is appalling. I can't believe it

Lamispaco: SEUN please can you kindly introduce the deactivate account button. Thanks.

i am nicely asking for a deactivating button too. Please uncle seun

My fellow christian brothers n sisters in NL, I have come to the conclusion that this forum, is a wing of Islam, let's invade every single post and enlighten each other on the need to vacate this site for Seun n his fellow jihadist! They have taken pride in insulting or religion, killing our people at will! Now they have decided to shut us up where we could air our displeasure !
Pls and pls let's vacate this site in the name of God!

re – why Seun may forbid the discussion of islam on Nairaland

The good and bad thing about the internet is that a user can just be anybody, anytime and anywhere. This ‘user’ can decide to be a ‘he’, ‘she’ or whatever, since no one sees the typist behind the computer screen. The internet is definitely the definition of the freedom of speech.

As the premier, prime-time, first and foremost online meeting place for Nigerians all around the world, ‘Nairaland‘ is not a stranger to the average internet user – especially in Nigeria. Discussions on various issues all litter the place and its really a Nairaland. I myself just manage to keep up, catch up and read through various discussions etc., and at the end of it all, i’m still far away from the latest gists while I burst into mode: laugh, at least to make my day.

The latest discussion, one that I read and which bugged my head is from Mr. Nairaland himself, titled: Why I may forbid the discussion of Islam on Nairaland. The question soon crossed my mind whether our brother Seun would be needing a body guard. I believeithasn’t come to this yet, but maybe………

Looks as if he received some emails that stung and so he had to speak out, at least for his own safety and for the information of all:

On one hand, we have the popular and cantankerous Christians that take delight in speaking against Islam and will continue to do so even though I keep banning them. On the other hand, we have muslims who believe I am personally culpable even though I did not make those posts because I am the only person whose name is associated with this website.

I am not willing to bear the risk of "fatwa", so by the end of this week it will be an offense to talk about Islam on Nairaland. I do not have the time to go through your posts one by one. Even if I had the time, how would I know what is offensive and what is not offensive to these people? I’m not a Muslim (neither am I a Christian) so I cannot judge what is offensive (or not).

That is why it will soon be a terminal offense to talk about Islam on Nairaland. Thanks for understanding.

Quote from: Usman Muhammad A advice for you I really appreciate your dedication and skills in designing this website. I write not to praise your exceptional skills but to advice you on just one thing that will inevitable come to you. By birth a Muslim is emotionally reactive to his religion, Nigeria Muslim on the other hand are slightly explosive to any thing they consider blasphemy to Islam and our noble Prophet.

Seun, I respectably urge you to have firm control of your web site. The forum under religion is embodied with lots of abusive, offensive and incisive phrase against Islam. Phrase that is capable of igniting a serious tension and a threat to your own life. I am a Muslim, a moderate Muslim you may say, but I can tell the reaction and counter reaction of an extremist who can easily be offended by contents of your web site. The authors may not be known, but you as the founder, would be easily branded as an abettor and a party to the offence. WhatI am saying in effect is that, you should edit, delete and choose topics posted on the forum you consider offensive. Imagine phrase calling Prophet Muhammad “evil” “silly”. No! No!! No!!! Osewa, you should act quickly, or else one day, a fatwa would be issued for you, and then you will be a celebrity under serious police protection. Then you can as well spend your [salary] undercover. These guys that post this thing are trying to destroy what you have suffered to build.

Quote from: Seun Osewa Hello Muhammad,

Why not mention the specific threads you want me to remove? How am I to know which threads you find offensive if you do not name them one by one so I can remove them?

Regards, Seun Osewa.

Its not a new story that Nigerians are willing to go any length when it comes to religion. From North to South, the testimonies abound.

I remember, before, I enjoyed reading through any religious headed post I saw, but for some time now, I can say I have abstained. I have abstained because some people just say anything under the sun to back up their own idea/s(right or wrong) to crucify whoever/whatever they wish to speak against. I’m like,God must be a very patient God. If left to these trash-talkers alone, a few slaps on their faces would definitely allow us to know who has said what on Nairaland. abi?

I believe that everybody has a right to his own opinion, and isn’t it right enough that people learn to respect the opinion of others while they stick to their own? Its not by force to accept your opinion, but why condemn me –why condemn my person?

The bashing, insults etc., kinda spoil the whole religious soup on Nairaland, and its a pity - if these talkers are the youth on which the reins of Nigeria’s future hangs. Some of them might end up becoming religious ministers themselves, yet they can’t see where the lines of right and wrong are crossed – especially in matters of words and thought.

There is a difference between trying to convince and trying to condemn. Majority of Nairaland talkers, especially on religious issues(between Christianity and the Muslim faith) is condemnation back and forth. This same picture cuts across to the political circle. If we can’t agree up to a point on the religious bend, how much more politics.

Nairaland is offered free of charge. Thank you Seun. But why should you allow someone login free of charge and put you into an official problem, considering that in Nigeria, anything can happen.

Yes, a word is enough for the wise, and Mr. Nairaland has said his piece. I would be happier if not only the discussion of Islam is forbidden, the discussion of Christianity should be forbidden to. At least, lets be on playing-level and see what else we can talk about.

Maybe we would be able to see more common things amongst us, rather than a lotta religious differences.

p.s: I’m a Christian, if you care to know

Seun is a very smart man. That rule 17 is just a ploy to generate more traffic to his site. Look at how many people are commenting, 15pages in just 2hours. Don't worry, he'll change it when he is satisfied.

Seun: My Fellow Nairaland Members,

Rule 17 is the most controversial rule because it sounds unfair. My fellow moderators have debated this rule at length and it could not be changed. We cannot extend the prohibition against offence to other religions because that limits your freedom of speech, and we cannot remove that rule without jeopardizing security and the safety of lives. Sorry about this.

Best regards,
Seun Osewa.

Are you kidding?

Who the hell have the audacity,temerity and effrontery to HIDE my post ?

I know one boko haram is behind it,and that boko haram shall suffer except and unless he relaeses my post and accept the Lord Jesus into his life.it's not yet too late.

As for Seun,I comment my reserve !

idefix: TERRORISTS ARE TAKING OVER

Indeed.

Terrorism is not only throwing bombs, it also involves inducing fear, limiting freedom and disrespecting others.

Rule 17 is a terrorist action that only benefits a terrorist ideology.

The ideology of fear and intimidation.

As a new mod that's the way we want it. We want you to be seeing it all the time. We are planning to remove it by 2073 by that time you must have memorised it word for word, cap for cap and font for font.

BEST REGARDS

bbpreye.:


SEUN, I DARE YOU ADD A "DELETE ACCOUNT" option on Nairaland and watch your membership strenght reduce to 142.... Insha Allah!

he can't DOES that,he no fit

Seun dun tell una say im dey 'Sorry' , wetin una want hear again!

@SEUN not fair!

BadReligion:

Alibaba GCFR, is that you?

NO SIR LOL

Rule #7 says "Don't say or do anything that's detrimental to the success of Nairaland". Seun you may have just succeded defaulting this rule with your autocratic rule #17, #21

mr_man: Seun is a very smart man. That rule 17 is just a ploy to generate more traffic to his site. Look at how many people are commenting, 15pages in just 2hours. Don't worry, he'll change it when he is satisfied.

Your head correct! was about saying the same thing. Seun wants to generate traffic with the controversial rule and we are gullible to play along with him. By tomorrow, he will change the rules and you will see gullible nairalanders rejoicing and calling Seun a good listener and praising him. What a perfect game. I dey laff!

[size=40pt]NAIRALAND IS ON FIRE[/size]

Seun: My Fellow Nairaland Members,

Your mixed reactions to the "new" rules have not gone unnoticed. While most people actually liked them, many people had one complaint or the other. To address your concerns, I have modified rules 1,4, 13, 15, and 21. I believe you will be pleased with the changes: https://www.nairaland.com/1026/nairaland-forum-rules-regulations

These rules are not as new as many people think. They are essentially the rules we have been enforcing all along, but they have been expressed in a more compact form to encourage you to actually read them. I created the 1st draft on the 7th of April and my fellow moderators gave me a lot of feedback which I incorporated into the rules before publishing them yesterday.

Rule 17 is the most controversial rule because it sounds unfair. My fellow moderators have debated this rule at length and it could not be changed. We cannot extend the prohibition against offence to other religions because that limits your freedom of speech, and we cannot remove that rule without jeopardizing security and the safety of lives. Sorry about this.

Best regards,
Seun Osewa.

Seun this number 17 rule is unjust and unfair. And worse, your attempt at rationalizing it is simply comical. I hope you have read your statement again and again. To me, it becomes more incredulous that someone of your stature and intellect could actually come up with the reasons you did. The only way I can rationalize your attempted rationalization of the incredibly and unbelievable senseless rule is that you included it under duress i.e. with a gun pointed to your head.

You need to change it. You have to.Everything will change if you do not. Times change and things change. I do not know what your situation is but if you will go down, you should go with principles. Not like this.

Kenny4lyfe:
I'm risking a ban for this BUT I must speak the truth!
Dear Uncle Seun, all other protocols(MODS) duelly observed!
I saw this rules yesterday and decided to remain behind the crowd because, almost everyone spoke my mind! And like everyone else I'm particularly conserned about rule 17. The fact that you're telling us what you're saying this morning means there's something you're not telling us!
HAS "THE BOKO BOYS" DECLARED FATWA ON YOUR HEAD? If YES then, I can understand because you're the only known member on nairaland! If NO then, TREAT US AS EQUALS! Na only CHRISTIANITY fit take insults abi?
What's good for the goose they say is also good for the gander!

That is what you get from an ingrate and a fool. Ban me if you want or create a deactivate button.
