Dimka: A Teacher We Must Learn From

if not for abacha, we nigerians would not have known the importance of democracy. but b/c abacha came, and completely ruled naija single handedly, at his own whims and caprices, to his own benefits, we then realised that no matter how bad, we no need military again. as bad as 2003 elections were, no one called for military intervention. when 2007 elections came and made it worse, we still preferred our quasi democracy.

in the same vein, dimka and people like him have made it clear how tribalism can ruin a nation. in nairaland, we have not met each other, we don't know each other. you don't even know if the other person is the gendr displayed or at the location desplayed and yet so much bitterness ensues such that some threads become war zones and eventually get torn apart. perhaps we can learn from it. this can show us that we can take 200yrs to fight ourselves and destroy the nation and eventually have ourselves to blame.

perhaps, like abacha did, dimka is teaching us that nigeria can never move forward until we embrace each other, despite our tribal differences, as nigerians.

this we must learn from dimka. while he remains banned.

banned

Bad belle, attacks, counter attacks and a whole lot of stuff.

Other folks need to be banned too, for posting stories and articles that are highly defammatory of other ethnic groups. . . . . . . not just Dimka.

yes o. but i believe anyone yet to be banned in nl has not yet done anything significant
