Almost everyone in Nigeria with access to the internet has some sort of formal education, but spending a little time browsing through social media channels and forums will make you question if some of these people immerge straight from the bush.

It has become a norm for people to quickly result to insult and abuse when a person raises an issue contrasting to their opinions. People with uncouth behaviours are littered all over the internet. Amazing thing is, these are mostly young people (a large number of them are either in higher institutions or with secondary education).

I believe this issue is as a result of bad parenting and a failed educational system. Parents don't teach their children to treat people with respect, and the schools fills our heads with Chemistry, Physics and Math, while they ignore human relations. The religious system has a share of the blame too.

A young lady who made front page on NL created a thread about a guy making threats about her life and her not knowing what to do. Majority of the commenters resulted to abusing her instead of giving advice.
Empathy has been thrown out the window....quite pathetic.

100/100

Why I always say they deserve everything befalling the country

They deserve the leaders and institutions that govern them.

Watch as some of them will soon adorn this thread.

Other forums are fighting bullies, racist comments and threats this so called Reddit of Africa mods are doing nothing

Nairaland mods are all failures
