For those who blame the Naija factor on these animalistic behaviours, I seriously doubt if that is the actual reason. I and some others were once attacked by one of such pixilated barbarians who claims in his profile, to live in the Netherlands, simply because our views were different from his.
Here's one of his prattles:
I then decided to communicate in the same language as he, when I realised that being civil with someone like him was just a mere waste of time. There are so many others like him on this forum as well.
God help us!
No Way, there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON AND NO EXCUSE for such. If a fool is a fool, no need for you to become a fool too. Dude, that don't fly!!! |

Insults add flavor to the forum  ? Question is what kind of flavor???  Not the flavor that I want. You stumble into a very intersting thread (not that many in Nairaland) where various people from various background and creed are airing their views. The flavor for me here is that I get to see other people's take on the issue and , honestly it enriches me. All of a sudden, gbam!!!! . From nowhere somebody starts shooting off insults and the topic gradually transforms into a free for all fight. What kind of flavor is that? I just don't get it. I enjoy slight jabs @ people. Hell, I take some myself. But lets not mix up the light hearted "yabis" that everybody gives and takes to the maliciously, venom laced insults that some posters enjoy dishing out especially when there is a difference in opinion. I have seen some posts alleging that someone has Aids or slept with a fellow nairalander. Now what kind of flavor does that add to any discussion? And I can't resist adding this. Some people here are capable of hating you on principle.  Peeps have never or will never meet You but they already hate You. Prolly because You two had a difference of opinion many threads ago or even sometimes having an argument with their friends is enough. They will just lie in wait for your next post and cuss u out till thy kingdom come  Just like that!!!!! |

wow where was I when this thread was created
What a thread , anyway some people should be ashamed for making comments on this thread  , funny enough they are the Ring Leader of the "Abusive and Insulting Club" .
Nairalanders are full of hypocrites, I Too Know people, rubbish , why are they all acting like they do not throw insults at fellow Nairalanders for not agreeing to their opinions.
The most awful abuse is at the Religion thread, you see all these morons bashing the Muslims people, but these so called assholes claims to be educated, but are the same ones disrespecting other people’s beliefs
But as far me, if you insult me, I will give you times 4 of what you gave me, blood hell I won't allow anyone to disrespect and belittle me in real life not to talk of internet, kai kai na the internet I blame oh. You cuss at me, i cuss at you, 50/50 no cheat, i no send jare . |

Insults unprovoked . . . you wonder if people live on the edge and need to constantly let off steam by insulting those they will never meet in life. Uche2nna must have had people like this in mind when he made his almost visionary statement. 2 funny things i note in this diatribe: 1. If the most awful abuse is to be found on the religion thread then what goes at the forum games section? The best of blessings and honor? 2. The writer makes NOT ONE contribution on the religion thread yet she cries louder than those who make an effort to defend their ways of life all in the name of respecting individual beliefs. Naija people don tire me. |

I already signed off before I saw that rubbish you wrote, chie chie chie have been expecting your fake PhD holder to show up, I guess my feeling were right then . Wasn’t expecting nothing better from you david
LOL what a joker, did I insult only if you felt my comment were referring to you, guilty conscience is what is killing you
Define a forum for me oh , because am lost now, or is it a crime to air my ideas and feeling based on that particular topic on public forum, or did I require you to quote me , if you don't like my comments and you feel insulted by it, why don’t you ignore it abi na by force.
Btw, I got better things to do with my time rather than arguing with you, goodnite
And please get help fast because your ignorance is becoming a Nuisance on Nairaland , i was sitting here peacefully minding my business before you showed your ugly fat ass ,gosh you ruined my perfect night |

Same old same old vituperations, unprovoked verbal assaults, incoherent babble and yet they come up crying that others are insulting them. This is what you'd expect from a 12yr old, its such a shame that those who call themselves adults allow their emotions to carry them away. What really do you call "airing your 'ideas'? calling people "assholes" and "morons"? The error you make is in assuming that i feel "insulted" by the garble you call a post, no i don't feel insulted rather i feel slightly amused by your struggle to put a few english words together just to do what you do best . . . go round shouting and abusing people since you have shown yourself grossly incapable of decent conversation. lol how can someone you don't know, have never met and can never see have ruined your night? Surely nairaland is not all there is to you eh? Sometimes you can't help but shake your head in pity as people waste away their futures bursting their carotid arteries over non-issues. Goo ahead and insult me again as you are wont to do. . . considering the ever increasing number of davidylan bashers u all shld have gotten it into your thick skulls that i really could care less what you all have to say. The internet is not an extension of my life, if not i'd be weeping about those who have just ruined my night. Cheerio |

@topic
What kind of question is this? WHY ARE NIGERIAN S SO ABUSIVE AND INSULTING?
If you think its only Nigerians that are abusive and insulting in this whole crazy world of BUSH, BROWN and westernization, then its because you are retarded.
I don't subscribe to insults especially on forums like this. But some people indirectly abuse and insult other people(Nigerians) with their silly posts and comments (this topic is a typical example) and you expect us to give you a standing ovation.
No way!!
It is left for you to understand and appreciate that Nigerians are more direct and straightforward than most people somebody tried to compare us with. I still work with all these people she mentioned. They are filled with nothing but hypocricy and Nigerians can't afford that.
But if indeed the poster did not mean to abuse and insult Nigerians, then she should have put the topic this way:
WHY ARE SOME NIGERIANS IN THIS FORUM ABUSIVE AND INSULTING?
Because indeed, they are a few Nigerians who are unnecessary abusive and insulting in.

The title of this thread may be misleading but on the home page of this site, it says "Why are some Nigerians so abusive". Even the OP's initial post shows that she's referring to a *pattern* that she has observed on nairaland, not the world. How is that retarded?
There is a difference between being direct and just throwing insults. The harsh insults on nairaland are unnecessary and good points often go unnoticed when they are in a post that's filled with insults.
Just because it happens in other fora does not make it okay. There are many people who lurk and don't post because they don't want to be the target of unprovoked insults.

If you think its only Nigerians that are abusive and insulting in this whole crazy world of BUSH, BROWN and westernization, then its because you are retarded. Wow. That's quite heavy, @nuzo, especially considering the issue at hand. Your point seems to be that the subject was too general and all-inclusive. But did you actually read the contents of @etin's post, or you simply saw the topic, and posted your own comments? I'd suggest you go back and read the comments in full - in fact, I'll paste it below: I have been on nairaland for sometime now and I have noticed a very disturbing pattern. Why is it when a an argument is being lost we result to abusive words or when someone has any opinion different from ours we insult them or shout them down. What happened to freedom of expression. It is this attitude of wanting to hear what suits us that breeds sycophants and makes our leaders lie to us. How exactly our we going to grow as a nation if the enlighten ones do not have basic respect other peoples opinion. This basic respect is the hallmark of civilised society
Let us decided on this forum not to dignify insults with any response no matter how tempting it might be. I suggest that the post above sounds nothing like what a retard would write, as you seem to suggest. There is, I would suggest, a direct reference to this forum. Basically, rather than speed-reading, which perhaps you did (please correct me if I am wrong there), read the full post. Perhaps then, you will be less likely - and less quick - to label people with names. I hope you understand my point. |

@ topic, Nigerians/nairalanders are abusive because they are sex-starved. I recommend several bouts of sex daily as a solution to this menace. |

Is this how we raise our kids?? If someone insults you, insult the person back??? WHat sort of wisdom comes from such?? Sigh!!!! |

i wanted to keep mute because this does not really concern me. i came to know nigerians more through this forum, love them more now because of their level of intelligence and etc. but when i like someone so much, i inten to close my eyes, pores, emotions n ears on the person's bad side. there was a time i got so furious at the celebrity section that i just logged out n didn't want to come back again . . . but i did because of some lovely people here some of the members in here are very insultive. . . it hurts deeply, some words can pierce a heart emotionally. as for me personally, i like to take people by their words, if u cross me wrongly on the forum, it goes a long way to affect me. . . my work in the office, mood at home. . i might never have anything to do wt u again, i will see u as insignificant even when you're talking to me, . . . i love to be my real self, so r some people i guess, that is why i chose to use my real name, wldn't lie to please people in here n be a different person in reality. when am angry i don't talk, because if i do, i might say something very bad . . in the long run, it affects me too. i suggest that, if u get pissed off by something in here, in a polite manner, tell the person u dnt like but don't abuse/insult sometimes, some of them are fun. . . sometimes, too extreme. one love! peace  |

Well I think thats why some people get out to say some harsh things . . . to affect you emotionally. There are a lot of untrained folks out here and you can't afford to let them get to you or atleast know they're getting to you. Ignore the kids, interact with the adults. |

The thread on the homepage was actually corrected by Seun. What the girl actually had in mind was the one inside the thread. And going with that reasoning of generallizing all Nigerians whether in or outside the forum makes her all deserving of what i said she is. She didnt even take a peep in other forums owned by other countries before asking a stupid question. If she doesnt know what to post next time, i will advice her to just allow her fingers rest. Posting a topic is different from responding to one. @ Wow. That's quite heavy, @nuzo, especially considering the issue at hand. Your point seems to be that the subject was too general and all-inclusive. But did you actually read the contents of @etin's post, or you simply saw the topic, and posted your own comments? I'd suggest you go back and read the comments in full - in fact, I'll paste it below:
What is the issue at hand? insulting people indirectly with a question? The subsequent comments might have made sense, but the innitial thread and how she put it shows that she was all out to insult a nation. I WILL RATHER ADVICE YOU AND RAVEN TO READ MY COMMENT THOROUGHLY BEFORE CONCLUDING. |

I will take your advice when you start taking it too - making spelling errors in your own post whilst trying to correct the OP's own grammar. Now you are advising me to read your comment thoroughly when you didn't bother to read the OP's initial post properly. Whether it was Seun or the internet grammar police who changed the title is irrelevant. I'm sure you got the general gist of the thread. You are just nitpicking. FYI, it's 'advise' not 'advice' when it's used as a verb. |
