I’ve been a registered member of Nairaland since 2008 and before then, I had been a visitor for over a year. Nairaland used to be a great place to be. There was a time when. Is was kind of prestigious to let people know you’re a Nairalander. It was a place of knowledge; a place you could find someone with the answers to practically anything in life. People got jobs through Nairaland, people were able to travel out of the country without the help of agents through nairaland, people started new businesses, got into farming, transacted businesses with people they hadn’t seen, just to mention a few. Till today the old threads are still a wealth of knowledge and information.

Nairaland was a place where people argued and exchanged ideas in a very civil manner. You hardly see insults or tribal slurs thrown around but today, it’s a totally different case. Practically every thread is derailed with tribalism and insults. Hardly any respect for each other especially given that it’s an anonymous forum and you likely do not know who you’re talking with. Nairaland has never been more politically and tribally divided. Even though this is likely a reflection of the country we have today, but it’s a forum with rules. So I can not see why people will act in any manner they please without any punishment.

I was really happy when I saw a thread by Seun condemning and banning the use of ethnic slurs but that has hardly changed anything. I still can not understand why Seun has allowed Nigeria’s number one forum go down in this manner.

Well I wish you all the best and those of you who are very good at insulting for no reason, you can go ahead and insult me for opening this thread. The good thing is that I will not see it as I’m signing off for the last time.

Good bye and God bless.

Bye bye

Eeyah!! What Tribunal Judgement cannot do does not exist!! Sorry oooo you will Heal!!

Don't deactivate this account. 2008. It's golden. You may go offline, but leave the account alone. You will have reasons to be back on in maybe 1-4 years from now. Retain it

Sorry, but you won't be missed. Many have come and gone. It is a cycle. What is happening on Nairaland is a reflection of the society. Hidden thoughts, and visible ones.

I stay mostly in the investment/business section...don't have time for slurs...etc.

Don't let the door hit you on your way out brother

You created the account in 2008. That's was during Nigeria's golden era

I know you are disheartened by what Nairaland have become lately but just know that you are not alone, many of us are disheartened as well

It shall be well

Kindly explain

Maybe you meant nairaland golden era

Some of The new recently registered remembers and their comments are so mannerless. They usually converse/ comment like that El Rufai pikin.

It looks like most of these guys benefactors or guardian/sponsors are the crooked politicians that are seen on TV.

Happy leaving.

Good bye and God bless.

Bye. Close the door on your way out and don’t let it hit you where the good lord split ya.

I would have loved to follow you but sad to say I have adjusted, and instead of intelligent conversation I give everyone wotowoto. Only few times that I’m rational these days.

I’m devolving. It’s a sad state of affairs.

This thread is unnecessary.

This forum is a bane for tribal cyber attacks and it is harm alot of people psychologically. Seun need to find a way to stop this madness.

I agree, Nairaland has deteriorated which is a direct reflection of the society at large but why the need to create a threat to exit Nairaland.

If i want to leave NL, i'd just leave without any exit topic or thread.

Lock the door on your way out ok.

See you with your new moniker.

The Nigeria of 2008 was not as polarized as present day Nigeria. No Kanu or Igboho, Boko Haram s presence was light and there were very few rabble-rouserrs .

Why Peter Obi?

I am curious and want to know the reasoning behind your conclusion.

PO is always getting insulted everyday by people like you and he has never responded back in kind. To the best of my knowledge, dude has a high emotional intelligence for a Nigerian and I hardly see him get angry.

Why the calumny of hate against the man? He made southern presidency a reality by ditching Atiku and PDP. I don't understand why his name should be included above except you are a tribal bigot yourself.

Simply because he deceptive and manipulative
