My fulani friend opened nairaland one day. He got so angry that he told me he was never going to open the website again.

#spits on thread!
Tribal war-lords! E-diots!
When did being in Nl translate to anything?
Nanscenze!

Illiteracy, is the cause, BOKO HARAM(western education abominable) has warned that academicians/matriculants are liable to die young(hence the school bombings). While the rest are seriously competing on narcotics (Tutoline, gutter-sand, solution-gum, pachaline and coughline et cetera). It's a pity that they have no leaders of tomorrow except for resident igbos and few redeemed ones that will serve as prospective leaders that will spring from their region by next twenty years.

jamil!:
Who are you arguing with? I asked you a simple question that doesn't require long English and you are busy referring me to the un useful link. Just let you details me and I will respond to you precisely.

Sorry!

Lol, the educated Southerners especially on NL exhibit such high level of ignorance and arrogance. No sane educated northerner (though relatively fewer) would want to waste their time with them. Even they few Northerners on this thread have abandoned it. Why are u southerners soooooo ignorant, yet soooo arrogant

Probably for the same reason there are less northerners in university, less in the western world, etc.

Perhaps their society and culture are not compatible with these things.

Simple answer=NL is popular mostly in Lagos.

Has nothing ϯo do wt education nor intelligence.

NL is not popular in the north

​ so​, the next time some mofos here wanna comment on a thread, try consulting Ūя̲̅ low IQ brains b4 posting tribalistic, bigot dripping trash

Sai Arewa!!

An interesting hypothesis. Yet, many of the NL posters are based in cities such as PH or Abuja. Seun is based in Ogun rather than Lagos, for example.

There's a forum called kanoonline that I came across a while back. It's not that active, but there are definitely more Northerners posting there than there are posting on the politics and other non-religious sections of nairaland:

They definitely talk about politics (local, national, and international) on that forum and have other interesting discussions like we do here, but it's not as active as nairaland and has nowhere near as many members. The last post on that forum was in July of 2012 so I don't think it is that active right now though.

So illuminating. Especially when it is from someone who is not Nigerian and has never been to the North.

Mr. Ekiti Bear, when will you stop making an a/s/s of yourself. When will this incompetence stop!

One does not have to be a Nigerian or a northerner to observe certain facts.

Who knows, perhaps there is a much better explanation that has absolutely nothing to do with society and culture.

However, if there is a better explanation, you are not likely to be the source of it. Such insights aren't something you are capable of.

Just idle trolling and cockroach-like behavior is all we have come to expect from you.

Most southerners are humble. The few arrogant ones are the ones based in the Diaspora/California. What do you expect from people who live in California (or so they claim) who cant seem to get along with their fellow Californians. They reside in So-Cal presumably a few miles from the world famous Laguna beach, they somehow find it more convenient to troll all day long on a website hosted on servers located in Abe-okuta (under the rock), thousands of miles away. They are supposed to be American, but it turns out they are not quite American. They claim to be Nigerian, but we also have come to realize that they are not quite Nigerian. They try to drive their manliness down our throats with their effeminate profile picture, unfortunately for them, they have proven themselves to be not quite manly in their attitude and temperament. They stupidly attach Bear to their username, they however lack the toughness and intelligence of a grizzly Bear. They fooled us with their unverifiable Ekiti connection, we have since learnt they cant locate Ekiti on a labeled map of Nigeria, even with Ekiti staring at them in the face. Putz men, that is who they really are. Putz men.

Heh.

If I am arrogant, i have pretty good reasons to be. You on the other hand have no choice but to be humble.

Oh...just FYI. In case it isn't clear, Seun almost certainly doesn't host Nairaland from Nigeria.

Much cheaper to host abroad, and ssh/sftp in to do work...he probably uses Rackspace or the equivalent.

I can of course spend more time fixing the mistakes and illogical reasoning in your post...but not clear a hard-headed person like you will benefit from this.

rofl!

Because they are mostly doers and not hot air driven talkers like southerners

This post is about northerners, will 'intelligent" southerners make their contribution without showing us how intelligent they are?

ekt_bear: An interesting hypothesis. Yet, many of the NL posters are based in cities such as PH or Abuja. Seun is based in Ogun rather than Lagos, for example.

Many of us are based in Anambra cites (Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi)

Right. Which is my point...I don't think that this Lagos hypothesis is very plausible for why we see so few folks from the north.
