GMBuhari: That is why I rarely comment, cant be exchanging words with such people. I visit Quora more now than nairaland. Quora is what nairaland should be, but it is more of international politics and topics 2 Likes 1 Share |

The sheer arrogating audacity of the OP to advocate for discrimination and barring of some members based on the flimsy excuse of their age shows how intolerant our society is. Has age ever been a restricting factor in defining geniuses? Does success in life come with grey hairs only? This condescending view the OP holds is why you have outdated gerriatic octegarians still ruling over you. I am in my late 30's and with the OP's silly proposal, I should not be allowed to participate in debates with retired generals and aging politicians who still arrogate power to themselves inspite of their horrendous record in misruling Nigeria. Africa's greatest set back in every human comparative endeavour is because we never developed a written language. This naturally put all knowledge in the hands of the old wise elders. Old people are generally nostalgic and conservative to real change - they live in the era of their youth. This made African culture to be static and it's scientific and technological feats none existing. The youth are fresh and unbiased and untainted by useless outdated knowledge. I want to hear from not only my generation but those going and as well as that coming fast to replace mine. This thread should be trashed |

Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. It thus exemplifies the purpose behind freedom of expression which on its own, apart from being enshrined in our constitution, is a fundamental right of every human being on the planet in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from retaliation and their ideas from suppression at the hand of an intolerant society. The right to remain anonymous may be abused when it shields fraudulent conduct. but political speech by its nature will sometimes have unpalatable consequences, and, in general, civilised societies accords greater weight to the value of free speech than to the dangers of its misuse. Bearing the above in mind with respect to our own Nairaland community and the ever expanding rule books which has led to wanton censorship of alternative ideologies not sanctioned by the "owner", I see parallels with NL censorship similar to that emanating from the current fascist elements occupying Aso Rock. Rules are a necessity to order. Even in human past time activity like sports, rules are needed to define the boundaries and conduct of participants towards promoting friendly competition. But where rules define society and not society defining the rules, you have an authoritarian dictatorship at the helms bent on keeping the populace in strict line to their selfish definition of reality. This is where Seun and Nairaland have failed woefully. By trying to control the context of debate here strictly to their parochial narrow views, seun and his mods are forgetting what built Nairaland from an obscure forum to one of Africa's biggest. Majority of members here come to this site to sample and debate the views and opinions of their peers. The professional media has lost the right as a credible and balanced source of news content and opinions. This is why NL grew because at the onset you provided an open platform for all members irrespective of societal status to be aired and heard. Sooner or later another forum will rise to overtake yours. My unsolicited advice to you is to strongly consider the following mandates and begin to promote them on your website : 1. To provide a platform of debate to widen the scope of financial, economic and political information available to the professional investing public. 2 To skeptically examine and, where necessary, attack the flaccid institution that financial journalism has become. 3.to liberate oppressed knowledge. 4. to provide analysis uninhibited by political constraint. 5.to facilitate information's unending quest for freedom. Promote these ideals and see your website grow in leaps and bounds or else someone else will imbibe these core tenets of freedom and build a bolder, fearless army of online activists and intellectuals. This 5th estate is feared most by the corrupt elite. What we say and promote here should serve as a wakeup call to them to act an do the right thing. The President has a retinue of special advisers, aides and even a substantive ministry patrolling the cyber space. We should not fear them neither should you support them in quieting dissenting opinions rather this forum should stand as the peoples voice and should not be lost to the establishment. Good day. 2 Likes 1 Share |
