While Seun is on Twitter gallivanting, his own platform is gradually being taken over by bots and fake news mongers with the help of some of the mods here.

OP, you didn't include the truncated video taken at the arewa forum, where they claimed Obi said he lifted 400m plus out of poverty. Whereas, the propagandist cut off the aspect where Peter obi had said China lifted that amount of her people ( 400m plus) out of poverty. The fake news hit NL Front page speedily until a complete video refuting the earlier one posted was later released.

It's obvious some mods are partisan, when they're supposed to be neutral.

Nairaland is fast becoming what I can call a junk forum. They didn't start this way unfortunately. It took me almost a decade before registering here. I'd only visit and read news as a guest. I'm getting disappointed these days the way they parade fake news without verification. Usually, once fake or repeated news was noticed, the next thing you'd see is... thread closed...and that's all. People wouldn't be able to post further comments.

Another thing that calls for worry is the manner they ban people who post Obi's supported posts without any trace of using vulgar words which could have warrantied such bans. I have a verified account on twitter, just like most of us do. If nothing is done by seun to correct and address the perceived injustice, he'd lose important members.

My days are numbered on this forum already.

In the olden days, I usually use nairaland(Front page) as a confirmation site for any breaking news all over the world but not any more.

Nairaland of nowadays is full of tribal comments,insults, Twitter trends etc

I normally get my news from NL frontpage. But since the election saga started, I can't trust anything I see concerning elections in Nigeria. Seun, pleas address this.

You are right. I no longer believe anything I see on nairaland. It is now a dump sight for fake news.
