I read this thread www.nairaland.com/2257153/buhari-drawn-battle-line-south-east, with utmost disdain this morning and wondered why it was pushed to the frontpage by a mod.

Is it because the article was written and composed by a well known tribalist. Am sure if such a similar thread was written and composed by a nairalander, he/she will not be only banned for it, such thread will also be deleted as if discussing such issue on nairaland is a taboo.

If this is the position of nairaland on trbalistic threads, why then did the aforementioned thread and the widely critisized Oba Akiolu statement make frontpage. Isn't that some sort of hypocrisy on the part of the mods who manage this site?

I hope I won't be banned for this also.

.....because nothing sells like bad news or hateful comments. they drive traffic like mad and that's what the bosses here crave

traffic which then brings money....eventually

morality is a 'clog' in this particular wheel of progress

Hmmm...very deep insight. Am sure this thread will soon be deleted.

Money must be made at the detriment of national unity and patriotism.

Tribalistic Threads make front page 'cos they affect all of us in many ways together.

because rule #2 has been updated.

You missed the point which was that if Nairalander opened a topic with the same write up, he would be banned.

God bless you. Yet they glorify such types of thread on the frontpage when the article is made or written by a well known tribalist. Isn't that hypocrisy

Did u get my point at all. Even before rule was updated, that has been the "absurd" order of the day.

Seltzer, you know as well as I do that this site encourages tribalism. It has little or nothing to do with whoever the OP is.

Bad and hateful topics, news sell on NL whoever posts it.
