I agree with the OP to some extent! But I'm not in support of the 249 mods gringrin
All tribes can not be represented here!
Oya tell me which Northerner here deserves to be a Mod in the politics section?
there is a lot of development going on in the North, but because the Northerners on NL are not like those from the South west and East, who'll be going up and down and be snapping every gutter that is constructed in their state

Fine.

Moving this thread to the dead general section was an abuse of your position and completely unnecessary.

Being against having more diversity in the politics section just makes you sound clannish.

My friend, get serious. 12 mods is enough diversity. I can also push for 15.

@ OP, you sounded like someone that have something against Igbo tribe
or do you want to become a moderator shocked/
But you should know that it's not automatic as there are certain criteria you must have undecided

Anyway, I know your protest is being looked into by the authorities concerned.

Have a blessed day.

Have you tried suggesting threads or contacting mods about threads suitable for the homepage?

Thanks for actually taking my concern seriously, but this really wasn't about me.

I was actually talking to some people about NL and they mentioned that it was all about Igbo vs Yoruba and that they never saw anything about their regions on the site.

Sexkillz has made a lot of jokes, but has ignored my actual point which is the obvious lack of representation of the middle belt and North.


I mean, you could be on this website for a week and realize that it is mostly about Southern concerns.

Have a blessed day as well. I am Yoruba, so becoming a mod wouldn't address this issue.
Re: Are You Ok With 2/3 Of Politics Mods Being Igbo? by Nobody: 9:21am On Sep 18, 2013
Maybe we should actually have 249 mods from all tribes and have them run daily shifts.

Well, no, it's not about you, but you're the one raising concerns. smiley

I see. That's why I keep asking whether you've made suggestions though. I haven't checked myself, but it'd be foolish of me to assume that there have never been threads concerning the middle belt created. If a suggestion comes in, we edit the threads accordingly and forward it to the admin, and then they put it on the homepage.

Now, while it's part of a moderator's task to recommend pages they think are worthy for the homepage, his or her recommendations may not always be what you have in mind. It's easier for you to copy a link of a thread and present it to mods than it is for Seun to scout for a non-southerner to join the current mods and seek threads he or she thinks will appease you.

My personal preference is just to learn more about what is going on in other areas of Nigeria.

I took a trip up North recently, and was incredibly surprised at the progress they are making. I guess there are threads on the front page about the middle belt, I just have not seen many (any?) of them in my past two years on this site.

If I see any middle belt threads, I will suggest for them to make the front page. Thanks again.

Sexkills, good one in replying this nitwit. I usually dont support mods, buh i had to side yu on this one.

@Op this topic yu just brought up is just another evidence of the fact that one Nigeria cannot work. Why cant we accept some things without minding where someone is from?? dont hide under the guise of being Yoruba while fighting for the Middle belt peeps, we can all see through yur plans. yur just another tribal bigot worse than the Afam4Eva yur accusing. Sexkills put a quest across to you, lemme quote it
sexkillz: How many middle belt threads have you created?
Your yet to answer this question mr Op, yet yu claim to have passion for the Middle belt peeps. Anyway, yur just another fame seeker, wish yu goodluck in yur quest to become a Mod if thats what yu want

1. I have absolutely no interest in being a mod.

2. I do not live in the middle belt, so I have very little to say about that region. I didn't see that question, but to answer it: None. Or maybe 1 if you count this thread.

3. Kingmexx aka Shymexx. Have you been banned again for tribalism? LOL. How many monikers do you have now?

4. Look at this picture of Makurdi that someone posted recently. I was blown away by the skyline. What is going on in that city? I have no idea. I would like to find out though.



If even the idea of having mods from other regions, and from other tribes, is so threatening, then the situation must be worse than I thought.

Ironically, or maybe illustratively, people making jokes are from the same region that is over represented.

But some will say this is just a random coincidence.

Listen Mr.I have a problem with you associating me with Shymexx. Am not the only person using the name Mexx on this forum so pls dont relate me to that Shymexx. he stays in Uk i think, but i stay in Lagos, Nigeria. Check my profile, its been in existence for some good number of years and there are no similarites between Shymexx and myself, well maybe except the good English lol grin. pls watch yur words next time.

lol the nigga has been stalking me, digging up my posts. how sweet!

Yea am Igbo, did i ever deny that?? Listen op, face the fact. You Yorubas have never found joy in anything concerning the Igbo tribe. c'mon dude, give it a rest. there are some wars that become pointless after a period of time, go ask the Americans. Like i said before, stop hiding under the pretense that yur fighting for the middle deltans. we can all see through yu and yur desires. Yur just another selfish Yoruba dude that derives joy in seeing the downfall of a man simply because his Igbo. take a hike Op yur just TOO childish!

Maybe six.

One from each region of Nigeria.

Having ALL of them being from the South and 66% of them being from one tribe and one region is definitely a recipe for all the ill effects of lack of diversity.

must every thing in this country follow fed xter and quota.

Another Igbo

ngozievergreen: Moreover, am igbo.

Another Igbo

The point I am making is that a site that is SUPPOSEDLY about the nation of Nigeria has been reduced to SW/SEairaland. Even worse it has become SE vs SWland. Why have Nairaland's political discussions become so small and insular? I am going to go out on a limb and say that it is because there is absolutely NO diversity among the people who lead the politics section.

In business school we learned that the value of diversity is in providing new ways to view the same problems. Different perspectives provide new insights and help eliminate blind spots.

If you are Yoruba or Igbo, you have no reason to believe that NL does not include you. You might think that every region is covered and that NL's politics section is a very open place. If you are NOT Igbo or Yoruba it can become painfully obvious how small the section has become and how rarely anything about your region makes it to the front page.

My original intent was for this to be heard by Mukina or Seun, not Sexkillz and other Igbos who have no idea what I am talking about because they have grown to assume that everything on this site must be about them or Yorubas.

Frankly, there are FOUR other regions in the country that are hardly ever discussed. In fact, I bet people from other regions shy away from the politics section because they feel that they have no voice. I DO see them on other sections of the site, just not on the politics board.

Is this a vital, fatal, problem? No, it's not even that serious. But it is an issue and making jokes is not going to change the fact that the politics section is currently a very myopic and insular place.
Re: Are You Ok With 2/3 Of Politics Mods Being Igbo? by Kairoseki77: 2:26pm On Sep 18, 2013
It's funny. The automatic assumption that this is a Yoruba vs Igbo thread is exactly my point.

I don't think any moderator should be removed, just that we need more diversity. Having even one Northern mod/Middle Belt mod would help.

Hell, adding Maclatunji would be an improvement.

What about physically challenged people? Don't they deserve to be represented too? Let's not forget that there are no Catholic mods in the politics section. We've also don't have any muslim mod in this section too. We also need mods for all the political leanings(PDP, APC, APGA, LP etc)Not forgetting Ogboni and eckankar worshippers. It's also pertinent to note that all the mods are straight(as far as i go), so in the spirit of representation, we should get at least one GAY mod. By the time, we sum all these together, we'll be talking about over 1000 moderators in this section alone.
