A Lesson For Us All by internetpirate: 8:00am On Mar 04, 2016
"First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

I'm honestly surprised to see someone like fulanimafia and his cronies complaining about marginalization of the north on Nairaland. The same people who didn't care when the SE or SS was abused and degraded. Or "marginalized ".

But I think the shocker is from ethnic jingoists like PentiumPro who views this sad event at Mile 2 with levity, yet was vocal in denouncing Igbos during the Oba debacle.

Let this be a lesson to us all! Always remember that no one knows tomorrow, and that it could be anyone's turn in the maelstrom. Treat others with the thought that they are equally deserving of respect.

The problem in Nigeria started with Lugard, dovetailed into tribalism, ushered in religion, and corruption sang alleluyah!!

Is there hope for Nigeria?

You simply lack the capacity to marginalize the North anywhere, only simple minded hacks think online 'attacks' have ANY effect on reality.

The threads were only highlighting the seeming indifference and lack of sensitivity of the mods, which has now been ironed out.

I am not trying to marginalize the North. You complained about the "marginalization " of the north on Nairaland and I reminded you that you are being served the same dish others have routinely received while you howled in delight. If you have any sweetheart deals with the mods that has assuaged your feelings of marginalization, it's not my concern.

That's what I'm telling you, it's not the same thing and you have no point. Ibo marginalization is real and self-inflicted while the northern 'marginalization' you perceive is non existent, as online vitriol does not qualify as such. My issue was with the mods and not the utterances of irritant iPad touts.

I'm beginning to query your intellect. The confines of this conversation is within the "online complaint " you made. And for your information, I didn't adduce to any tribe's marginalization, except youre confessing to a deliberate focus on Ibos? I perceive no northern marginalization, rather I just echoed your sentiments and drew your attention to your participation in similar instances.

Wake up from prejudice and a jaundiced perception of life.
