superstar1: Thanks for your dedicated service and recognition too. I had spent lots of years consuming information in volumes of encyclopaedia britannica, biographies, autobiographies and historical accounts on people, places, countries, events and organisations. I took an interest in political forums and programmes on CNN (Cafferty File) in the build up of the Obama primary campaign and eventual primary and presidential election wins. I enjoyed the back and forth arguments from the contributors, even making a couple of contributions of my own while seated in Lagos Nigeria. I was totally oblivious of what Nairaland had to offer as regards contributing to the national discourse in my own country, despite knowing that the forum existed. Later on in early 2012, I got to experience Nairaland from the fits of laughter from a work colleague who was lucky to be the only one whose PC had not been barred from accessing non-work related websites, allowing him to make Nairaland his source information and amusement. Luck soon smiled on my colleague who moved on to a better job offer, and I got drafted to his own unit and inherited his unrestricted computer. This allowed me to encounter Nairaland front page stories by default whenever the internet browser was launched. I soon got tired of watching by the sidelines as religious God of Men and their religious junkie zombies ran riot all over the religion section. Indeed, I signed up to Nairaland not for the politics that had previously attracted me to foreign fora, but to save the gullible from religion induced mental slavery. With time I soon realised the Politics section was a natural habitat for me, and forsook the religious arguments that did nobody any good in this world that we know nor changed the society for the benefit of those not posing behind the pulpit or holding the fraudulent tithe collection box. In all, Nairaland has been very instrumental to giving everyone a voice and debating opinions and very bright ideas. Unfortunately, it has also served as a medium to vent ethnic frustration from all quarters, helping to crystallize the hate and mistrust that had always existed from the beginning of our absurd nationhood. It is a great thing that superstar1 has come this far amidst the bans and metamorphosis of identity. Nairaland truly owes its present success to dedicated and devoted members like you, your contemporaries, and even your adversaries. Cheers! 6 Likes 2 Shares |

StOla: Thanks Bro. The truth is ethnicity and tribalism lie in the hearts of most Nigerians with indoctrinated stereotyping. |
