I've been on here for a while now, but wasn't really active until lately. Most time i just read the news and the comments but now i make comments too . During the times I was just reading and not commenting, I came across threads and post with direct insult from one tribe to another , at first i felt bad about because It was wrong .

But as I continue coming here to use the site and on a daily basis i get to see tribes attacking each other, what am I supposed to do? As an original Yoruba that will never use his left hand to point his father's house I have no choice but to support my tribesmen. You can blame me for that but what would you have done?

I'm telling you this because I want you and everyone else that would be lucky to come across this post knows that the future is in our hand and we can decide what's best to do about the issue of tribalism. If it continues this way, then I'm sure the message would also be passed on to the generation growing up fast behind us.


Just because I've said that doesn't mean I would stop, because if you insult me I can't afford to remain quiet and listen to you do that.

Thanks

You laugh in response to insults on your tribe?
Interesting!

Maybe you're from one of those minority groups who are hardly at the recieving ends. Hence you find it all amusing.

I concur with your submission, @OP.

If you check my first set of posts, you'll find out that i was pro igbo. Later on, the annoying tribal bigotry and insults from them, including the excesses of their tribal Mods who issue lenghty bans on you for reacting to their tribal insults, has forced me to adopt a radical stance against them.
Nairaland has negatively altered my worldview and perception of the igbos in real life significantly since i became frequent here. Very unfortunate!

Yea at first, I was able to laugh it off but on the long run It became annoying I must tell you. Almost every thread on here you would see it, I'm a registered member on some other forums and I see how strangers relate. People that are not even from the same country for that matter

It's not like we won't see some stubborn goat that would still come and pollute the air sometimes, but on here I must tell it's like we already started the war. I wish the MODs can warn user persistently and if possible ban them for sometimes, I know it's not easy banning everybody but some comments leave readers disheartened..

I feel your pain, bro. The MOD's have updated rule 2 but folks still find a way of lashing while escaping Ishilove's hammer.

I have personally submitted to nduchucks immediately after the elections to relate to the current administration to find a way to curb this rising cankerworm but it fell on deaf ears. ..The past elections added fuel to fire.

All I do is enter the thread and make London out of 'Lagoon'(hope I won't be misunderstood) and laugh my ass out.

Get a good laugh or HBP ..your choice.
