@OP,

I hear this rallying call.
Right of the bat, though, I think you/we need to accept there are a number of key requisites needed to propel #occupy NL movement to dizzying heights.
These include - but are not limited to - the following:
(1) A Logo
(2) A theme sng
(3) Web site
(4) Twitter page
(5) Facebook page
(6) An e-Martyr
(7) Prominent NLers who have fallen out of favour with the authorities
(cool Musicians and Actors who can be counted on to whip up Anti-tribalism sentiments, and others who can serve food to teeming supporters.
(9) e-Saboteurs grin
(10) TBD grin
(11) TBD grin

As a bare minimum, the wholesale malignment of an ethnic group which often passes for commentary on these boards should be curtailed.

Repeat offenders need to have a visible flag, which can serve as a deterrent to others, associated with their id - location could read 'known tribalist', for instance
After three warnings, the errant NLer should have posting privileges withdrawn for a period of six weeks.

My friends think this through, is Nairaland not a reflection of our larger society? There wouldn't be tribalism, prejudice and hatred on NL if it didn't exist in our country.
Re: #occupy Nairaland: A Protest,if U Are Against Tribalism On Nl! by Nobody: 3:03pm On Feb 12, 2012
@OP, I am 100% in support

@edoyad,
No one is naive enough to think Nairaland can possibly cure us all of prejudice and hatred, so this is not the objective here.
Retrogressive as both these states of emotion are, because they characterise the human condition, it is perfectly understandable some commentators might occasionally seek comfort in them.

In much the same way, as NL is not going to change the committed ethnocentric, any advocacy that leans in that direction is no more than an exercise in futility.

What should not be considered acceptable are, posts that incite hatred, encourage genocidal violence, and/or frame wholesale caricatures of ethnic groups.

In my opinion, as the 10th most visited web site in Nigeria, Nairaland has a social responsibility to curb this menace.
