Tribal warlords and warladies, ona dey craze oooh! Had to call my peeps in Lagos over the weekend to confirm there's no civil war going on in Lagaos! Una dey find who una go give BP baa? @ OAM4J, pls don't relent, I'm with you all the way. I think the next step is to organize a kind of parley where we invite all the known tribalist, pls ensure onlytruth sits next to Aigbofa, desola sits next to Biafranqueen. . .u get the drift? |

Nigerian Politics and Tribalism are deeply intertwined. The Yoruba man may be besties with the Igbo man in every sector of life...but when it comes to politics, its a different story. Nigerian Politics is essentially a brutal fight for resources and this is bound to be reflected in online discourse... Proof? Have the incessant bans actually changed anything on here? 1 Like |

ALAKE_OF_EGBA:Cut the crap, ilugunboy has been running around here making direct threats propagating war cries and threatning genocide against all Ibo's staying in Lagos.Its exaclty people like you that fan the ambers of tribal hate here. Infact some yoruba dude was talking about using eggs to develop bombs to kill Ibos in mass going further to claim he will kill over 300 Ibos in his locality, at that point i had to challenge him to a face2face confrontation he ran away. Manny4life as I observed was on the defesnive in all that, he asked Ibos to defend themseves atall cost. And in that case frankly, with the egg bomb threats and genocide by iluogunboy and the other niqqa, I agreed with manny4life no less. If anyone can't see the Yoruba's are the agressors here should layoff his/her rose tinted spectacles. 2 Likes |

Personally, I've found the NL tribal wars quite informative, as it reflects the deeply-rooted feeling within the grassroots of Nigeria. At least we now know how we all truly feel about each other. That's a start. 2 Likes |

nne3870:My dear, before joining nairaland I used to assume it was a feel good forum till i stumbled upon the perpetual hate comments/threads by people like dayokanu,ilugunboy,desole,texas girl etall. Then I knew what really this place was all about. As hummans,we all have our limits,mine was the continous jibes at those kids/mothers who died durring the biafra war by the yoruba bigots, for God's sake what has these kids done to these people? And to think they are the ones who are whinning and pinning from page1 to page9 on this thread really underlines what a crazy enclave this place is. |

goldfish80:Dont mind them. After whining online about Igbos, they will go home to their Lagos neigborhood surrounded by Igbos, cowgirl will be wishing an Igbo boy comes to toast her, all their shopping will be done in Igbo-owned shops, the list goes on . . . Don't worry, the Yoruba bigots must accept One Nigeria and all that comes with it. |

papparatzzi2013:Let me keep you up to speed whats happening here, you can ignore it or claim am a liar, i don't care really. The cycle has always been an Igbo man criticizing a yoruba governor eg:fashola Immediately,Yorubas see this as an attack on their race,hence forumites starts insulting the entire Ibo's then turning the issue to a tribal warefare.And amazingly,the same Ibo man who criticized fashola will spare no hands in insulting T.A orji,Rochas,Chime etc its amusing on your part if you think Ibos start calling Yorubas names out of the blues for no reason. 1 Like |

goldfish80: Oga I joined this forum in 2006 and we used to have intellectual discussions devoid of tribal sentiment. This trend started in 2010 when Ibos are always creating one thread or the other. We started responding in early 2012 when the MODs refused to heed initial warnings. It did not get to this crescendo because the former MODs do not move tribalistic thread to front page but regular callers of Politics section can bear witness. The current set of MODs took this thing too far by always taking everything to front page and the awareness increased. What you saw in fashola case was an unwarranted reaction from yourbas but it was something that has been brewing up for over 2years. Is not about Fashola or no Fashola. Sensibility, mutual respect and decorum need to return back to this site and Seun and his MODs have a lot to play. |

We have to deal with ethnic antagonism here simply because the mods and the admin condone it, perhaps as a way of generating more traffic, otherwise there is nothing difficult in initiating zero tolerance on any thread aimed at the propagation of malevolence against any ethnic group. Delete them, ban the culprits and continue with the ban until the zero tolerance policy sinks in. Let nobody lecture me on freedom of speech. People who hide behind "freedom of speech" to propagate malevolence and prejudice must be stopped, for they are detrimental to our existence. Why am I even wasting my time. . . the fact that we have a "Ethnic Racist and sectarian" section speaks volumes... |
