Before Nairaland Is Bastardised by chykeo(m): 9:44pm On Sep 21, 2008
Nairaland is a great site where Nigerians all over the world meet and discuss. This is a very beautiful inniatiative with discussions on a variety of issues ranging from properties, politics , business et all. As good as it is, I wonder seeing some uninformed and unintelligent threads and posts finding thier way into the site if we are really living up to the true spirit and letters of the guy who set it?

Wouldn't it better we start paying for subsc ription so we can weed out all these unwanted elements? I am so much interested in the business and property sections but it is discouraging seeing people post meaningless threads and replies.

Dont we Nigerians like free things? Must we spoil everything? If it becomes a paying site most of these people will go out. Not trying to be hard on my brothers and sisters but they should be more decent and reasonable. We know shit happens everywhere but let ur own shit not be the one in question

My dear i guess you are right but on the other hand you should read only thread that you feel is ok for you. You don’t have to worry about others. That is why we have moderators to check people's post.

I want to believe nairaland is part of the new planet that has been discovered, a planet called blogosphere where every one can say what they actually feel without anyone putting restriction on them. It is a free world in here not like the mother earth where you say your mind like channels did and their license is withdrawn.

Allow people to air their view we have moderators to watch them and remove any thread which is not meaningful.

Thank you

I dont mean to take issues with you but u ve just exposed ur basic ignorance and imbecility. A good reason why this site should be for pay. I am sorry I dont mean to get dirty but i think you find a way to get more respect for yourself

Ah ah. . . . . . you cant shoot yourself on the foot now. You are the uniformed and unintelligent one here. Did Seun personally tell you his motives for setting up this forum?
Unlike what you are claiming to be, you just wasted your talent for nothing here, i bet a new nigerian home video is going to premiere next week with the tittle "True spirit and letters" grin

Since this kind of internet forum is new in nigeria; a country where an entire village can bombed or a TV station closed down for a "slip" of tongue tongue, then, that will definately make it more difficult for you to appreciate freedom of speech; the pillar of democracy.

FYI: Nairaland is said to be the second most visited nigerian owned website.

As people are going out because they cant afford to pay, nairaland will also go out. I doubt if 9/10 of the 242,000 members can afford to pay for subscription.

Finally, those retarded comments(yours included) are the reason nairaland is where it is now.

@ post
nice idea, but with many BUTS,
i admits we have a number of imbeciles all over the place, and people who are just plain stupid, giving incredibly dumb replies to threads and also starting threads reflecting idiocy in its most concentrated form, and the ill brought up /mentally frustrated who feel the best place and way to unwind is to insult other users on the forum, it is a pityt that the rules are not bn respected and without consequences from the admin about this excessive excesses,[/b of some People who deserves the NOBEL PRIZE FOR IMBECILITY, creature of perverted insticts who can't avoid exhibiting a high level of ignorance, and infantile nasism

as per paying or subscribing, nope, it will never happen, seun needs the crowd but i think a good 100,000 crowd is better than a bad 3 million crowd, trying to lower the standard of the site. [b]SEUN IS A SELF PROFESSED CAPITALIST who says he believes in LIVE AND LET LIVE!! i have forums OF MY OWN, one chess site and 3 forums, no subscription option is the best, but excesses should be checked

, well lets wait and and see if he sees the accident waiting to happen, standards don't fall overnight but over a long period of unchecked activities of some low breed characters

THERE IS NO STANDARD FORUM WORTH THAT NAME THAT HAS NO RESTRICTION OR RULES TO MAINTAIN GOOD STANDARD, NAIRALAND HAS GOT RULES, the poster is talking about checking excessive disobidience to the rules, as for subscription, nope!! not a good move.
Re: Before Nairaland Is Bastardised by chessguru(m): 12:08am On Sep 22, 2008
RULES MUST BE OBEYED, to an extent and not be completly disobeyd. i belong to not less than 27 international forums/communities, i hardly see the admin tolerate serious indiscipline such as i see every day here, SERIOUS INSULTS, and disrespect for other users, try that on google community,smf community,chesscube forum and you will understand that, too much insults that you see here isnt ideal.


as per payment, still not an option, in google community for example, even register free is not that easy but admin does not allow excessive excesses.

for example the google community (not sponsored or affiliated to google) gets funded by its own adverts and also have a board for members that subscribed, VIP members, but there are free members, i am yet to be called names on the site, no unprovoked attack, yet.

what exactly is your point sir? that excessive insult and aggressive disrespect to other users should be the order of the day on Nairaland?? well you are NOT DOING SEUN ANY FAVOUR by doing that he certainly wants a better standard than excessive unprovoked attack, it is so bad that new members are being infected right from their first post,

  No need to think about subscription, Seun never had that in mind and i wouldnt do that even on my own forum (not even for my silver members) but the point is when you break the rules in a very RASH way, excessive excesses like unprovoked attacks, it should be checked, it wasnt this bad before,  we have bad eggs in every forum/community sites but on NAIRALAND it shouldnt get out of hand

@nuzo
if it was you i saw in your profile, i think you look mature enough to be called a man, anyway repeating the same incomprehensible post over and over is making You sound like a broken record, perhaps you need some rest, talk to a loved one, try smilling often and practice being good to people around you. because that is what normal people do. Maturity is in every mans power!! one love.

If you like make your mother tongue be "draft", i still no send you, any time.

How can you forget quickly that you were the one who have been throwing the insults by calling people imbeciles and how unintelligent most nairalanders are? How do you measure intelligence? Does telling you the truth translate to insult even though you are the one dishing out the real insult?
I even wonder why you are still here since you have nice and amazing people to chat with in your forum.


On the other hand, why are you so interested i join your forum when you have been advocating for my ban here?

On a more seroius note, why didnt you represent nigeria in the olympics since you eat, drink and sleep with chess? tongue
Re: Before Nairaland Is Bastardised by kay9(m): 6:14pm On Sep 26, 2008
Look fellas, like it or not, we DO like free things down here in Naija. Why do y'all think Nairaland is so popular? A forum where you can just log in, choose whichever section you like, and say just about anything you like - and get replies, too! I understand about some people posting really stupid stuff, but that's why we have moderators - ugly posts get deleted, and the poster banned. Simple. And by the way, this is the POLITICS section; if you have such a mind that you can't take other people's trash-talk, then I'm afraid you're hanging out at the wrong joint.

Besides, this is a NIGERIAN forum, and the first hallmark of a typical Nigerian is his tongue. We might not do anything about a bad situation, but by God we are going to TALK! And God help the person who thinks we're going to be saying the same thing.

   HEY YAA!! so you don't send me, but who cares if you don't by the way please mention the names of those you claim i insulted, if i say all the people who insault and disrespect others are mumu people, i wonder who exactly can claim i insult them if not the bad eggs,

ON A MORE SERIOUS NOTE since you want to know why i did not play 4 Nigeria in the olympics, let me educate and inform you that chess does not feature in the summer olympics and we have what we call THE CHESS OLYMPIAD i was a regular in my university chess team and also played for EKITI STATE in National sports festival, and have featured in many international chess open, AGUSTO,NUGA Games,NBL-MASTERS CATEGORY,NEPA,Friends of chess, i play chess more as an art than as a sport man, i love the game, by the way do you know, Bunmi Olape,Bayo(small B),I'm Odion Aihkioje olympiad -gold medalist,I'm Chikwere Onyekwere, Oke onoruvie (sisqo),Femi olape, International master Femi Akintola,and many others Who sleep and drink and play chess as MASTERS of the Game??we cant all go at once , i will soon be at the chess olympiads, and even the world championship,world opens and linares its a piece of cake!!- GM
