Bros, I guess we are dealing with senseless rascality and irascible juvenility on this forum.

Desinuola: As long as there is tribalism in Nigeria, there would be TRIBALISM on Nairaland!

You can't force people to have a nationalistic outlook when they don't even believe in the entity called Nigeria!

I am first and foremost a Yoruba woman and i'm only identified as Nigerian only by way of my passport. I feel more love for my people than I do for other ethnic groups and have a close affinity to them.

If you are going to impose this draconian rule, then by all means, define what you term as "tribalism" and set out the rules clearly as you cannot ban anyone purely on their ethnic outlook. You have to set out what you deem offensive and would not tolerate.

Moreso, you cannot act as an individual; your other moderators and Seun, the owner of the site would have to co-sign your rules for it to have authority or legitimacy.

As it stands now, the no-more tribalism stance is yours and yours alone without any stamp of approval. Once you get it approved you must then set out the terms and conditions and be specific on what and what would not be allowed.

You are not Abacha or jonathan o. Don't think you can swan in here and dictate to us o. Who you be? Who be you?

Shio! Kelebe!! TWE!!!

Ikenna351: Life can be so interesting! See as all the tribalists are gradually showing themselves here, giving me the opportunity to note them, making the task easier for me. God, you are so wonderful! Please keep identifying yourself, the roll-call is still on going.

Ikenna.

I could not believe Obiagu1 will ever be associated with the above type of kneejerk approach to this matter. Anyway, human beings are subjects of change. However, my motto is fairness.

isale_gan2:

I hear ya. I support the effort to bring sense to Politics section so we can all partake and enjoy like times of yore.

I'm just not bothered by Yooba, which is what he used in the targeted post. The other variations? *Shrug*

Done with this.

BTW, Hi! Obiagu! I remember discussions we had on older threads, I think 2 years ago now: (1) the deceased gay activist, and the American lady who found her Eze(?) dad. Those were fun times in Politics section o jare.

ndu_chucks:

Dede1, according to the senior moderator, OAM4J, you have done nothing wrong. I reproduce OAM4J's post after a long discussion in a thread which included contributions from all of us, Seun, OAM4J, and others. This Ikenna352 cannot willy nilly change rules, we are not his children here.



If Oga at the top has changed the rule, we need to know. So Ikenna352, did Seun tell you to reverse OAM4J's decision, if not, stop bothering us with this issue.

ACM10:

You'd be glad to see Igbo-Yoruba feud continue ad infinitum. . .wont you? That's why you pop up every now and then to inflame the hatred. Cos your people stands to benefit. . .huh?

Obiagu1:

My position is that you can address someone properly and still make your point. You can't start an argument/discussion with someone and every time you want to talk, you'll call him "isiukwa" and then make your point. If he wants to make his own point, he'll definitely retaliate with a similar name. If that name refers to just that person, he might not be bothered because he understands you but when it refers to more that one person, others might not find it funny.

That's just it.

ndu_chucks:

ACM10, nkuku nwanne amalomye, you appear to be a dullard from your post above. Who are "my people" who stand to benefit from this non existent Igbo-Yoruba feud? You small boys can blow yourselves to smithereens online, if you wish, but be advice that JTF will be waiting for you when you take your foolery to the streets. dolo

kayci_d77:

Ikenna is not an Igbo man, Seun use him to fight a particular ethnic(IGBOS) in NL, But Ikenna I want to advice you, NL is a public forum and there should be a level of liberty in the choice of words and when you want to fight bigotry comments make it a general thing, any person who creates Thread to insult the Igbos should be banned , any person who insult the president should be banned not a mere typing Yoruba or Yoruba ( which has no insulting meaning). The real insults are there but u pretend not to see them.

Kamanda: Hmmm, all these wahala Nawao.Maybe its time for a Sovereign Nairaland Conference!!

Dede1:


This is a sort of twisted issue I have with so-called Ndigbo. Most of them seemed, at times, hell bent to save Nigeria thereby putting them selves in a precarious situation.

Genius100: Ikenna, you are doing a great job. There is finally some sanity in this forum. Keep up the good work.

asorocker:

Please his target should be increased to more than 2000 poster banning per day , this would ensure Nairaland does meet up with the exigencies and requirements needed to maintain the present poetic injustice
