I thought freedom of expression is enshrined in the Nigerian constitution? Try to use PERFECT grammar and PUNCTUATION? I mean are u serious? These rules should have been posted on April 1st. I know you have to make money and all but be careful you don't mess up a good thing bro. This list would be very appropriate in Germany circa 1937 under Adolf Hitler. So as a mark of protest i will post only in pidgin english after this sentence.

Now wey sumol change don enter your hand your head don dey big abi? Me and you wan go hunt antelope now you come dey say ma leg resemble antelope abi?

mike404: O boy that one na sharia law o Don't post anything that could be considered offensive to islam... How about the one that could be offensive to christian

Cos he knows no practising Muslim will abuse Jesus, we belief in him, we ll never separate the prophets of Allah which Jesus happened to be one. You are the one that regards all Muslims

As supporters of Boko Haram instead of pointing to the North. May God forgives all.

I'll prefer seun to add the dislike button. I think that'll will reduce insult rate coz some ppl will talk and u'll be like, does that comes a from chimpanzee? Pls we need the dislike button. Nairalanders shud advocate 4 dat. Goodluck *( not Ebele ooo) * to every1 as we struggle to follow the 21rules.... Oh that makes me remember 21question by 50cent. Rapping mode

eyenCalabar: I think Seun should apology to us. He sounds insulting. There are ways one can actually commands you to do somethigng and you'll hearken with smiles and definitely NOT the way he's just imposing his own commands on us. Am dissapointed.

Na wa o, Nairaland members have come again. Seun had barely finished cautioning us against bad grammar and someone posted this. Anywayz, my observation is that Seun or whoever posted the Rules and Reg. did not even give space for comment, instead, immediately closed the thread.

@ Seun

21. Always post in proper English. The use of correct spelling, grammar and punctuation is compulsory.

What if I dont know how to speak proper English or dnt know English at all? Wont I be able to post on NL?

naptu2: How it all started.

that muhammad guy must be crazy.

Imagine an ordinary clay fighting for God.I wonder what would be the end of this world?

Nnaaa men! Seun eburukwa bata n'obodo! Bikonu, iwu nile a maka na m choro igu asisri di na Nairaland? Mbanu. Kama ka m kwusi imebi ego na oge m ebea; jiri ya baara onwem uru.

Nke kacha ewe m isi bu Iwu nke iri abuo na otu: Please spell words correctly when you post, and try to use perfect grammar and punctuation. Emeghim beke n'ulo akwukwo, ndi be anyi, gini ka mu ga-emezi?

As for rule 17, Seun wrote it under duress. I guess his wife is moslem and denied him some good food and straffing for days hence the hasty scribbling of Islam instead of religion.

Eyen,abadie? What went wrong this time around? I know oga Seun is have good plan for Nairaland,but him is tooking it too far.Pls,advising him to be take it easy as him go. Mbok,Eyen take it easy.

I sincerely think seun need to upgrade and up his interpersonal relationship. Not everyone here are kids. This is all too poor coming from someone like u. Ur popularity just crashed by 60%.

eyenCalabar: I think Seun should apology to us..

Going by Rule 21, Ʊ're hearby banned!

cyril83: that muhammad guy must be crazy.

The guy is silly! God punish him and those who wrought evil against the peace we all enjoy in this country!!! May God Almighty wipe out all these faceless idiots! What's all dat crap about?

Seun, ur "rules" constitute a simple NONSENSE! Reasonabl users of dis forum wudnt fu.ckenly care bout dem!

my post got hidden when i saw a topic about totoh dikeh and i asked if moderators are going to push the topic to frontpage. Guess what, the post did make frontpage ( as usual )but they blocked my post.

I dont know who this girl is and its seems you guys keeps pushing her to frontpage trying to force her on us. I feel loads of people are getting tired of this tonto dikeh stuff. If you going to push it to frontpage (like u always do), why hide my post? which of the 21 commandments did i break? you guys are the one breaking the law by advertising tonto dikeh every where . Just look at the frontpage. every time, there must be at least two of tonto dikeh.

This is getting ridiculous the way you hide comments. i did not insult tonto dikeh.i dont even know who she is. you guys allow insults on politicians but you quick to hide and ban people when they say anything you just dont agree too. why hide my post? and why tonto dikeh on frontpage everytime? why ban me when i did not insult anybody on this thread that i have to create another account to respond?

pimp_lucious :

You right. its really annoying the way they hide post now. i was on one tonto dikeh thread before it made frontpage and people were discussing (no insulting ) and by this morning, most of the post are hidden and its on frontpage. why? what law was broken?

Most people here are not kids and the way you guys handle things here like its kindergarten. I was never part of the group that was complaining before. i use to think the guys who complained were just finding a way to annoy seun and mods but its really ridiculous. I know its not by force to join and discuss on Nairaland but i stayed with Nairaland because it was the first one i registered with.There are other ones which people freely express themselves and they dont insult (i dont want to mention names before you ban me for advertising) but i never bothered joining but the way you hide post is really bad. i did not insult anybody but yet you find ways in hiding my post and banning me.

chiggie: hi y'all!
pls how do I start a topic? thanks

1) Go to the section in which you want to create the thread.

2) At the top of the section you'll see "create thread". Click on it.

3) Fill in your thread title and first post and click "submit".

i think an ignore button should be added at some point, where members have the ability to hide or ignore posts/posters or threads.

3. Don't advocate or encourage violent actions against any person, tribe, race, or group of people.

7. Don't say or do anything that's detrimental to the security or success of Nairaland.

13. Please report any post or topic that violates the rules of Nairaland.

it seems seun and his team are working on a new set of rules and the present ones are invalid, or how do you explain the impunity with which his mods flaunt their breaking them?

Place the trade

This one wey Oga Naptu dey take us back to this old school post so
