Seun:
Fellow Nairalanders,

We have noticed the use of ethnic slurs and other derogatory names by a small but persistent group of political actors and trolls.

This practice of derogatory name-calling adds no value to the forum. It's bad for our mental health, our harmony as a community, and the reputation of Nairaland. It's simply toxic. It's absence and the absence of the people who use those slurs will not be missed.

Therefore I have decided to ban the practice entirely. I have instructed dominique, mukina2, Lalasticlala and Mynd44 to ban anyone who uses an ethnic slur or derogatory name on Nairaland. The antispam bot will also contribute to the effort. Please report any case that you see.

I am happy Seun Osewa. This is long over due it is like u read my message and listen to my mind.

Please spare no one. I believe if u are call upon someday to lead this country u will do it without fear or favor irrespective of who the person is.

I am 💯 in support of this. Welcome back my beloved Nairaland.

He used 'we' at the beginning as he recognized those working with him. For the decision, it's his decision and that's why he used 'I'.

Last I checked, this is not a PLC, it's his forum. So this correction is unnecessary.

na you sabi. So you wanna argue semantics with me ba ?

the "We" was used on the first line and I could attribute it to the entire nairaland forum (since even all of us follow notice and know wetin him dey yarn).

But the moment he started refering to the staff, he switched to "I" .

Also, did you notice the "I have instructed..."

I could be jobless sometimes. beWare

Finally.

Nice one Ṣeun. We hope you apply this to Islamic section also. The way some elements speak about Islam on our thread is worrisome. Thanks alot

The tribal hate is by far more toxic.

Hard to understand why rather than reason, people reason through colored lens of emotion. Like gutter rats.

Enlightened people will stoop to such savagery just because their tribal faction is supposedly better than the rest. It's disgusting.

DaTruths:


Is Tinubu an Ethnic sluur? Seun.

Tinubu is a nickname for Tinubu, I learnt it on Nairaland.

Seun, Mynd44, Lalasticlala, you guys need to begin this sanitation immediately.

That bigot won't even dare to try anything cos he himself does a lot of bigotry shit on Twitter.
And those things na im mk nairaland dey sweet for us wey like to dey read yabings

Funny.

Did you see his Twitter escapades? This is their arena.

Iamgrey5:
90% of your comment on Nairaland is tribal, So why are you acting like you are a saint here?

This was your last comment few minutes ago before this thread.

Don't mind the ethnic bigot that you just quoted. I was just about to point out too that the creep is one of the Ibo trolls who have made this website so TOXIC for many Nigerians of different ethnicities. Thanks for showing him a screenshot of his past history of posts on NL.

The NL registration process is the major key for stopping these trolls but @Seun has to enforce that process so that many of those irredentists don't create multiple fake NL accounts with free throwaway emails.

Seun, why did you have to wait this long?

God knows I was about ditching Nairaland for my sanity. These small group have made NL a mess. I'm happy you are taking the bull by the horn.

Can't wait for Nairaland to return to its glory days. Enough is enough.

RenaissanceGuy:
Was there anytime the ban wasn't total?? The problem has always been about poor enforcement, because you people think it's what's responsible for high traffic.
BTW, I thought people have been saying Lalasticlala has been sacked.

smh

TrumpDonald2:


Imri is not Igbo pls. Maybe you got the spelling wrong.
What exactly are you trying to write.

Stop being clever by half

I meant water in igbo Language.

Nice one.



Oga Seun I also noticed something on Nairaland. I don't like it when christians are forced to swear before commenting on any thread about Islam, that isn't fair.....Make una reason the mata too.

You always act as if you don't see the report against Mynd44. That's hypocrisy on your part. He is the one empowering APC touts to carry on their abuses here.

A very welcome development Mr seun.

Plz enforcement and continuous enforcement is very key.

Well-done.

Seun, please do something about fake news being pushed to the front page lately.

Mtcheeewww

Mr Seun..

In as much as this is a welcomed Development.

People like you should be totally neutral and apolitical..

We know what side you are on and that is why most of us just stay off Nairaland this days..

A Nairaland we all contributed our own quota to grown..

Check date of this account but when partiality is evident, what can the Righteous do?

Finaĺly, Sanity beckons.

N3TRAL:
Seun, can you make a list of words that are prohibited so that our freedom of speech is not ridiculed in the guise of fighting tribalism.

Make a comprehensive list or a comprehensive definition of what tribal slurs are. Define tribal slurs and what can pass as tribal slurs if there's no list. Thanks.

" Tribe of the fallen demon" has been used to insult people here. It's a phrase not even a word.

SAY NO TO TRIBALISM OR CYBER BULLYING. I STAND AGAINST BOTH VICES AND CONDEMN THEM AS A GOOD NAIRALAND MEMBER!

See dem, one of the tribal bigots is already complaining.

A very welcome development although it took some time.

IyaebeTheGreat:
Good one. Everybody should support and hype his candidate in peace. But seun hope I can praise Asiwaju any time I like? Trouble for those on my neck because I support and like Asiwaju, but I'll miss the gbasgbos sha.

On Asiwaju's mandate I stand.

Iamgrey5:
A flat Head is not a slur anyone from any tribe can also have a flat head.

so you know. I thought you guys were too daft to notice.

To be honest, I was getting pissed at the tribalisim on this site. Honestly, I was on the verge of disabling my Nairaland moniker.

The election in particular brought out the worst in both political sides. Really it did. To the point that I have had to chide people here for being so bitter. You lose election , suddenly people from tribe X are evil?

I will be using the report button well well. Enough is enough.
