I guess this thread has as usual degenerated into a free- for- all

one question i will ask all the self proclaimed tribalists and bigots slinging abuse left and right

did u go to primary and secondary school in nigeria?

cause if u did,i wonder how u can seriously fling these insults,

knowing fully well u are also insulting all the friends from other tribes u made when u were young

just wondering. . . .

The truth is that these hate-filled posters would never dare come out with their tribal nonsense in a multi-ethnic public place in Nigeria because they know they would be seriously dealt with.

So it is up to the moderators to do their job and permanently exclude such posters.

We are talking here about people like tpia, sjeezy8 and babaosisi.

Nairaland is a true reflection of Nigeria.
Re: Are You All Not Tribalists? by joeyfire(m): 12:45pm On Dec 07, 2009
Of course we are.At least I'm sure I am There have been lots of sins committed against my race and I accordingly hold those responsible in total contempt. I also reserve a sightly higher level of contempt for their lackeys and mindless ''zombie'' followers who condemn my race because their fathers tell them to. There's a lot wrong with the structure of this country and till its fixed tribalism shall thrive. Umunne unu ge bi ndu
Re: Are You All Not Tribalists? by Nobody: 12:52pm On Dec 07, 2009
Then before you talk about fixing the country you should first of all fix the hatred within you.

Seun wants to censor words but then he puts topics like this on the front page knowing that people will be the first ones in here insulting each other.
LMAO!!! wow.
THE IRONY!

u got a point there. . .threads like this should be buried deep in nairaland. . .so that only the so-called self proclaimed tribalists,can go seek it out
Re: Are You All Not Tribalists? by ziga: 4:10pm On Dec 07, 2009
I guess the mods are partly responsible for this. Every community should have a police/mods, and if the police do their work things will be civil.

But, i guess the threads that do very well on nairaland are the tribalistic ones. Which translates to more traffic and therefore more money for the owners.

Seun is concerned with activity on the forum and not exactly our feelings. Controversy sells and Seun is milking it. can't knock his hustle
Re: Are You All Not Tribalists? by holycaves: 4:44pm On Dec 07, 2009
I see these comments and I'm slighted and disappointed at what some of y'all are writing! my wife is a Yoruba girl and also my best friend, while I'm igbo. so when one says nasty things about the igbo's, I'm angry that he/she is insulting me and then when i see what is replied to the Yoruba person i also feel insulted that the mother of my kids was hit. The only solution of truly achieving this one Nigeria is for the government to cancel tribe in any thing official or proclaim that a child will be from the state where he/she is born. thereby a Yoruba or igbo or Hausa man will have an igala or benue or calabar child. lets see how he kills or ccriticisehis child.

Man, i would vote you as president if u were not igbo cheesy, This has been a solution that has been dear to my heart but i rily havnt mentioned it on NL because people would stupidly start deriding it. But this is the best solution to our problems- nothing else can solve this ethnic hatred

Are You All Not Tribalists?
« on: December 05, 2009, 07:45 PM »

"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."


THE QUOTE ABOVE IS WHAT THE POSTER POSTED, I JUST CANT FIND THE CRIME WITH IT, EVEN IF HE WAS ONCE A TRIBALIST, BY THIS POST IT SHOWS HE HAS CHANGE FOR THE BETTER. ALL HE IS TRYING TO SAY, IS WE SHOULD LOOK BEYOND TRIBAL SENTIMENTS WHEN DISCUSSING ISSUES.

@tensor777

i'll assume your comment was for me. My brother hatred and prejudice are two different things. But while we're on the same page its important that you realise that hate has a source and it sure as hell didnt start with me, I only give back as good as i get (ok maybe a bit more than i get)

I'm particularly concerned about the bold lettering. Are you really so far gone that cant even process that you just cast an ethnic slur. dude!!! you are the wrongest person to be solving ethnic hatred cos you're thoroughly full of it. (hate that is)

its called sarcasm idiot shocked shocked shocked, sitdown reread, add a couple of IQ points, process again, sit down reread, add another 100 IQ points (you are now out of the negative IQ scale), then sit down, reread and process the information, add another 100 IQ points and voila, you are just above the intelligence of a retard, then another epiphany, you finally understand that I am making a jab at tribalist.

Hmmm, you get mouth. I don't believe that was sarcasm either. tongue

Nairaland and tribalism ethnocentrism

Amaka, I don't think Seun specifically puts these threads on the front page. I think the more posts on the thread, the more likely it's going to be on the front page. I guess people should start ignoring such threads if they're so stupid. That way it won't be on the front page. grin

I don't think that is correct. Sometimes, you have threads with low views/replies on the front page. I think one of the supermoderators determines what goes on the first page.

Re: Are You All Not Tribalists? by SEFAGO(m): 11:43pm On Dec 07, 2009
It was actually 100% sarcasm, you cannot judge my opinions based on words online- i was actually excited that someone shared my views on the abolition of tribal classifications- check through history, this has been one of the most significant steps towards civilization. Even the Ottoman empire which was a mesh of several cultures which later evolved into one national identity.

What we need is some radical leader to impose abolition of tribal affiliations- the major problem with this is losing our culture and heritage- but i doubt that is a great loss compared to the other repercussions that come from thinking of yourself as the "other"

Consciously or unconsciouly, every Nigerian is a tribalist.

@SEFAGO see your post - its called sarcasm slowpoke , sitdown reread, add a couple of IQ points, process again, sit down reread, add another 100 IQ points (you are now out of the negative IQ scale), then sit down, reread and process the information, add another 100 IQ points and voila, you are just above the intelligence of a retard, then another epiphany, you finally understand that I am making a jab at tribalist.

Its obvious that you are an anal retentive jackass who throws barbs when he's faced with the option of giving a simple answer to an assertion or impression. Your ''sarcasm'' is your cup of tea ,i only respond to what i see posted. and from what i see,you are a badly bred fart lacking in manners or etiquette expected of an adult. so sit down,take a deep breath, get your head out of your ass, clean out your ears,air your brain,add some soap and voila,you are just above the level of a sexually repressed craphead, pray for an end to your personality disorder then you may learn to respond to posts with some class
