We know the tribalists, we see their bait threads and titles and we still join in to encourage and enable them to spew their nonsense to start more needless and pointless threads.


We know they thrive on the back and forth so why not just sidestep such  threads and deny them the attention and oxygen?  Tribalism is a state of mind and you can't change such mindsets. It's a disease and problem they have to fix on their own.


If you don't like tribal threads, ignore and don't encourage,  encouraging simply = you're are part of the problem and you have no morale right to judge and complain because you enable them, you give them the time of the day to thrive and live to start another silly, ignorant and annoying thread.

see babapupa dey talk of tribalists.

sorry,  but thats the way the cookie crumbles.


anyone who doesnt like it is free to log off NL.

If Seun and his mods cant keep this place clean then wild wild west it is.


I dont log on NL to read stories about how my thing is smelling becuase of my Yoruba gene.

Neither am I here to be regaled with tales of how I'm likely to stink, be promiscuous, do fetish, be filthy, am ugly, unmarriageable, because I'm Yoruba.

Its a free world- you can start a forum or join another one if the tribalism here worries you too much.

Yes, babapupa is talking tribalists. We can stop it,

you're free to join some other forum where there's no tribalism.

tpia.:

This discussion is about NL, not about joining other forums. Let's stay focused my friend,

^^ when in Rome, do as the Romans.

anyone who wants to be a hero and smile while his tribe is being viciously bashed for no reason, probably in the hopes of getting some kind of hookup, should go ahead and do so.

As for me, I'm seeing people around getting influenced by whats being posted in this place, so I will defend myself as best as i can and let God handle the rest.

tpia.:

You don't have to jump over the bridge because other people are like mumu. Try make sense small small.

Stooping down to absurd level because you are defending your tribe means your thoughts  ain't any different from what you're challenging, meaning you are what you're criticizing.

Only insecure and shallow people waka around defending themselves over what's not what defending.

^^ sorry, you're preaching to a wall.

I'm a tribalist- deal with it.

Thats Nigeria and if you want to be a hero, then good luck to you.

edit,

Why are you convulsing? You don't have to slit your wrist because of babapupa. Dude, kill yourself if you like sef, lol. see wahala o.

I don't have to deal with your stupidity and tribal nonsense, I ignore such crap. Do you see me pay attention to the likes of mekusxxx and the other tribal zombies? @ least not lately.

Red baba and Tilapia fighting. Who will win?

who is fighting?

certainly not me.

anyone telling me not to defend myself when being attacked by bigots and xenophobes, should think again cos its not happening.

sweetie, dont get your knickers in a twist and become a byword.

if NL is disturbing you too much, then log off.

Even if you open 10,000 threads such as this one, telling people not to respond to tribalistic threads, that wont stop anyone from beating you up because of your tribe.

Babapupa, I thought your initial post made a lot of sense but you've been somehow dragged into doing the same thing you talked against.

Are you not the one going crazy because you think you're about to be stripped of your rights to be a tribal bigot and racists like the ones you're defending yourself against?

Be what you must be, it just doesn't mean what you must be is good for your fragile and insecure self.

like i said- log off NL if its too much for you.

is someone forcing you to be here?

i am a tribal bigot and racist- does that decrease your salary.

OMO IBO:

Babapupa, I thought your initial post made a lot of sense but you've been somehow dragged into doing the same thing you talked against.

In what way because I'm still on the same message and feel free to lead me where I transgressed.

na scatter scatter dey end moonlight play.

Had never even heard of the word 'tribalism' until I came to Nairaland

It's never going to stop by the way

I am joining babapupa to say we shouldn't be like this. It is digusting.

God bless you babapupa for trying to tackle our "tribal" problems. I am sure we can win this if we start trying, the ocean is made up off many little drops.

babapupa:

Surely engaging in some back n forth blige with an obtuse pugnacious harridan is counter productive.

If we all log off NL because we disagree, there wont be a soul left on NL but you talking to yourself. Stop arguing like a brick head.

Dude, it's not by force to repeat the same nonsense, I heard you the first time. Do you and be all you can be, defend your insecure self to eternity.

na you biko.

youre so stu.pid!!! lol
if you are a tribalist, why are you defending your tribe when you wont hesitate to bash another person's tribe?
see mumu ooooo!!
this "grown woman" no make any sense at all.
you get upset when your tribe is being bashed for no reason, you call yourself a tribalist, and bash another person's tribe.
do you not see the hypocrisy? the double standard? lolol!!
persin wan kill me oooo.

I see what you're saying. I honestly think we can go back back n forth discussing the subject matter as long as we're not throwing tribal insults at each other,

na you biko.

yes, logging off NL if you cant cope with the heat, isnt a bad idea.

overpopulation leads to all kinds of social problems and the world wont end if some people find another site.

a society with no police, or inefficient police who make little effort to combat crime, is a lawless one.

ending tribalism on NL isnt too hard, but of course you'd rather bark up the wrong tree, than face reality.

typical nigerian

All the Arrow-ster tribalists on the forum can nosh a big chunky coc.k!

Anyway, let's ignore the distraction and carry on with the subject matter.


It's my believe that we have so much in common, but we're not willing to reach out, explore and take advantage of anything. We needlessly distract ourselves with worthless tribal sentiments. We even subscribe to what we know is bad for us and our future just because of tribal considerations.  We don't see good on the other side of the fence, we see only fear and mistrust, it's like education is incapable of washing away the dirty stench of ignorance and tribalims,

Why patronize threads with titles like An Igbo man did this/ that or a Yoruba man did this/that when a man or woman this or that would have sufficed?
