much more seriously i think it's time to begin to address the arbitrary removal/editing of posts, elimination of whole sections and topics by the administrators of this website.
i have had instances of my posts being edited or deleted within minutes of posting them and then topics blocked so u can't contribute and then this!  Shocked

Yes, Seun seems to be really jittery about these issues, especially racially ones when they address black/white relations. I've noticed that he continuously attempts to downplay people's observations and first hand accounts of racial interactions between the two groups.

TO SEUN:

I strongly believe that you should put that board back up. There's nothing wrong with discussing these issues, and it's only by doing so that people can understand the causes behind them and begin to solve them. They'll only continue to fester in our societies if we keep hiding them and running away from them.

he doesn't live outside the country, i wonder why he is so sensitive about the black/white issue much more than those who do.
i have also noticed that trend too. Attempts to poo poo any talk about racism and then threatens to take down the boards.

you can find the board in the recycle bin section though. are there any other forums like this?

@ part in red: Yes, there is!! You can go to this site called 'Nigerians In America Village' at this link:  http://www.nigeriansinamerica.com/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=22.  It's a community of Nigerians from all over the world, and a bunch of African-Americans, Afro-Caribbeans and other nationalities of Africans thrown in, and the Admin. of the site (Nigerian-American) not only allows this type of talk to go on freely and fairly, but he even contributes openly in the conversations. It's a very good site. Another one is Naijarules ( http://www.naijarules.com/vb/index.php ), run by the same Admin. There's a few others, but I like these two best for this type of conversation.
