Hello all,

I am a relatively new member of this forum, but i cannot but express my dismay and disappointment at the level of rudeness and the manner in which foul language is being thrown around.

I beleive this forum (Nairaland) was created to enhance positive interactions among Nigerians
and freinds of Nigeria located all over the globe.

However, what i c on different threads is uncouth language, an unhealthy degree of tribalism, insults flying left and right and generally unwholesome speech.

This does not potray Nigerians as the warm freindly people we really are, and a casual visitor to this forum might think Nigerians are crass and undignified people.

No matter our tribe, religion or social preferences, we need to air them on threads in a civilised manner, without throwing insults at people with divergent views. Also, we are all citizens of one great country: NIGERIA, we are therefore brothers and sisters and should accommodate one another no matter the tribe or religion.

No matter where our journeys have taken us on thsis planet, we have one common home and i beleive that the need to connect with our fellow countrymen/women is why we are members of this forum.

Let us show the stuff Nigerians are made of. Let us showcase to the world our proud heritage and culture. Let us project our freindly and accomodating nature. Let us treat each other with decorum and dignity.

Thank you.

God Bless Nigeria!

could you post link(s) to posts that are so offensive?

i am connected using my phone, so that may be a bit tricky, but just a cursory view of some threads in the romance section (Gosh! the langauge) n the polilical section (the level of tribal insults and hating) among others will show what i am talking about.

One word of advice for u @jonce: GROW UP. There's a lot of evil out there in the world; so don't whine about the few cusswords u see flying around here. It's just folks letting off steam. Not like they're killing anyone here. Look the other way if it bothers u so much.

It wasnt so From the Beginning,
you didnt lie though. I hardly visit those sections u specified. ixpecial d politics/tribal something. So, READ NO EVIL,CLICK NO EVIL

I agree with OP and would like to add that the use of abbreviations is just silly on a nuclear level.

There you shouldnt go, Euro. Who's got time to write the whole?

Okay

The idiocy makes for a good laugh anyways.

Carry on.

Sorry, we dont buy heavy vocabularies here. Haha
