Let's assume that Seun is President of the Federal Republic of Nairaland. Note that he is facing a corruption accusation now and investigation is on. Imagine Auwal87 being the Vice President and Kosovo is Senate President. Now, let's appoint Eartmama as the Speaker House of Reps, while Mai Suya , Uche2005, Nuxo, Becomerich and Abu-Mariam are ministers. babyDaddy, hubreality. Ifygurl,Ogaga4luv and bindex are members of the Senate while xtolove, MC Usman, Chidi4U, **Osisi, IGWUE USA, and Alam-Tara are House of Reps members. Now tell me, how can NL develop based on their comments and views in the Federal Repuplic of Nairaland? Assuming they are appointed to be leaders of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, will Nigeria fare better? Comments please.

When asked to summarize NL in one word in one thread, I called it '' A MINIATURE OF NIGERIA''

Jarus,
You mean microcosm not miniature.

asha 80:

@Jarus
Auwal87 ia a northern secessionist

auwal87:

I will divide Nigeria into 4 pieces, though I have to convince Mr. President, if he refuse I will organize a Coup and take over as the President.

jamace:

Oya Jarus, where are you? If you don't appear before I count 1 to 9, I will declare Asha 80 the winner .

You mean microcosm not miniature.

Jarus:

Here I am now. I think auwal has been able to demonstrate what Asha called him. Secessionist.
Thanks davidif. Even though miniature(A copy or model that represents or reproduces something in a greatly reduced size) is not totally wrong, microcosm(A small, representative system having analogies to a larger system in constitution, configuration, or development) is definitely the best word.

I will divide Nigeria into 4 pieces, though I have to convince Mr. President, if he refuse I will organize a Coup and take over as the President.

Jarus:

Other similarities:
-Like Nigeria, religious e-war is common on NL
-Like Nigeria, everything degenerates into tribalism
-Like Nigeria, there are 419ers here(spammers)
-Like Nigeria, some people continue to fall for 419 despite being apparent
-Like Nigeria, everybody is a coach(sports section)
-Like Nigerians, you can't stop laughing at some people's comments - humour-filled

I wish there could be a NL conference one day to put a face to the faceless which is majority of us.

jamace:


Seun, please can we give this a try?

Lagosboy:

@Poster it is very true.

NL is a true representation of Nigeria and exhibits the reasons why Nigeria is and might not move foward. What i find worrying is the way alliances are quickly formed based on either religous affliaiton or tribal affliation. In this trend members of this alliance would always oppose you no matter the thread you are in.

The question is, who usually forms such alliances? I have been in many threads that have lively discussions/debates going on, totally devoid of sentiments, and then all of a sudden a northerner makes a remark that another member disagrees with, and before you know it, alliances are formed and he is denounced as a gworo chewing illiterate. in fact the ardent zeal with which a particular NLder goes about attacking northerners has seriously caused me to question her sanity.
