An Apology To The Igbo People Of Nigeria by Seun(m): 3:39pm On Mar 20, 2023 |
Dear Igbo People, I sincerely apologize for allowing a toxic political banner advert which said, "Lagos can never be run from Anambra; go and vote" to run on Nairaland for several hours on Wednesday, March 15, 2023. The mischievously worded banner advert appears to have been part of an ethnically divisive political campaign aimed at securing Lagos State for the ruling party by instilling fear in Yoruba people, making them believe that Igbo people intended to "take over" Lagos State. Such ethnically divisive political campaigns have no place in a forward-thinking democracy, and for this reason, the ad should have been taken down instantly. No harm was intended, but my lack of forethought about the ethics of that type of advert led to a disappointing outcome. We should have had a clear policy against accepting negative and ethnically divisive ads on Nairaland, we should have communicated it to all advertisers, and we should have taken down any advert that violated that policy instantly. This will all be in place before the next election. We made almost N16,000 from the ad. We will double it and donate it to victims of political violence in Lagos. Please, do NOT give up on Nigeria. The times are challenging, but TOGETHER, we will overcome. Sincerely, Seun Osewa. 156 Likes 15 Shares |

shove that your apology down your throat, because you need it more. You have always turned a blind eye on the numerous haul of tribalism and ethnic chauvinism being perpetuated here, because of your selfish interest. Alas, you succeeded already, so why the needles apology?? 241 Likes 12 Shares |

If APC bring another anti-igbo advert tomorrow, you go accept am No need apologizing, people know who you are already You did it few weeks ago, apologized and did it again last week I just read the full thread, so you made only 16,000 naira? Or 16million? 133 Likes 8 Shares |

LMAO...Seems like they have threatened you Anytime you apologize you set up yourself up for more bullying, you can see that already. I have never heard Nnamdi Kanu apologize for all the death he has caused all over the place through twitter, facebook and youtube, even the CEOs of the various platforms he spread his hatred didnt apologise. Man dem!, you will continue to apologize forever, until you realize that you cant please everyone. 118 Likes 19 Shares |

A big shame seun.. A big shame No one will hold APC responsible though.. your name is soiled in the history of ethnic bigotry and tribalism.. I am Yoruba but I hold you responsible for allowing your platform to be used for such mischievous campaign.. Looks like people have finally sat you down and chastised you because until yesterday, you were still arguing about how that particular ad can cause mayhem to a targeted group. You saw for yourself the outcome.. people who looked like Igbo sef collect.. Igbo man with APC membership wasn't spared.. History won't be kind to you and no! Apology not accepted.. your 32k donations is not the deserved justice meted out to any of the victims. Keep it! 112 Likes 10 Shares |

Lol. This apology IMO is for political correctness, so that it won't come to haunt you in the nearest future like GCRV social media posts. Anyways, u tried ur best but you could reconsider reconstructing the apology letter, it doesn't look formal! 20 Likes 5 Shares |

Seun:Bros I be you guy but you see this 32k so? Nor talk am again abeg. The money itself be like insult. Instead of giving money, promote a healthy forum! There's an APC guy here we know as Corrinthian. He had to officially stop involving himself in tribalistic posts because it started affected him in real life. You can do better Seun. If na traffic you can creatively do things that will increase traffic. We see Nairaland as our own and so do outsiders. The Naira in the land is ours. Try abeg. Nothing do you. 51 Likes 3 Shares |

Seun, there’s no need apologizing because the harm has already been done. Believe it or not, that ad contributed to the war that happened in Lagos….the WAR they termed as election. The only thing you can do to redeem your image it to ban outrightly, anybody who makes tribalistic/bigoted comments, or creates any topic that can stir up ethnic division or tension in your forum. Be it Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba or any other tribe. Ban them for life because this forum is becoming too toxic. I believe I speak for the multitude. 144 Likes 11 Shares |
