That thread is meant to highlight the developmental strides of the Enugu state Government and as such, belongs to this section.

This thread https://www.nairaland.com/1508835/awolowo-responsible-developments-todays-western is meant to highlight the impact of Awolowo in the development of the Southwest of Nigeria as explained by Edwin Clark- why does it not belong to the Politics section?

femogbangba:

I am not sure you even understand the meaning of those words ^^^

How come this thread - https://www.nairaland.com/979128/enugu-pride-east has been in the politics section for over a year?

Please explain

Afam4eva:
That thread could actually belong to the Ethnic section or the poltiics section depending on the disgression of a particular mod. That thread talked a lot about Awolowo, being responsible for the development in Yorubaland and the fact that Yorubas have been at the forefront for the call of a National conference.

sexkillz: Enugu is a state in Nigeria and not an ethnic group.

femogbangba:

So you are confirming that a Mod could decide to place it in the politics or ethnic section depending how they feel.



The contribution of Awolowo that Edwin Clark was alluding to occurred when Nigeria had regions- Edo and Delta states which are currently not part of the SW were part of the region that Edwin Clark was referring to.

Afam4eva:
Not on how mods feel but on how they perceive a particular thread. That thread is actually more ethnic than political and i think the right decision was made. There's even nothing developmental in that thread. It was just mentioned passively and was meant to Extoll the Yorubas and Yoruba is an ethnic group and that's why the Thread belongs in the Ethnic section.

femogbangba:

Afam your reply still lacks clarity and sounds a tad dubious. Perception or emotions should not be a tool in accessing whether a thread should be in Politics or the sectarian section- do you have a template or a guide to make such decisions? It sounds funny to me that 2 Ibo Mods are insisting a thread about Enugu is fit to be in the Politics section and a thread about the impact of Awolowo on the Old Western region which includes present day Delta and Edo states should be placed in the sectarian section.

Of course you will agree that it was a right decision, I am not disputing that but I was not asking for your personal thoughts on the matter but a clear answer as to what threads go to the Politics section and which ones end up in the sectarian section. So far, it seems Sexkills and yourself do not even have a clue yourselves.

This is ridiculous rubbish. First the word Yorubaland does NOT APPEAR in the thread. So that is a LIE. This is YOUR OWN spin.
Does the appearance of Yoruba automatically mean it should be Ethnic.
What about all those thread that mention the fact that Ibos are in the majority in the current Super Eagles does that automatically make them "ethnic".

All these Childish logic impresses NO ONE

By the way it is discretion not disgression

Heheheeeeeeheeee....

The guy sabi English..no be small..!!!!

0monnakoda: In any public role if you constantly stir up and provoke anger and conflict you need to assess yourself and your position. Afam should do the honourable thing and quit

Nowhere does Yoruba appear in the thread? let me help you out


FOREMOST Ijaw leader and politician, Chief Edwin Clark, has said that Chief Obafemi Awolowo was instrumental to the rapid development of the Western states and the Yoruba nation as a whole.
Clark stated this in Abuja during the Southern.Nigeria Peoples Assembly (SNPA) meeting held to articulate the position of the assembly in the forthcoming national conference.
SNPA is made up of leaders of thought from the South-East, South-West and the South- South geopolitical zones.

Clark further stated that the agitation for national conference was not new, saying that the call had been on long before now especially from the Yorubas.
According to him, “ the demand for national conference did not start during the Jonathan government, it is an age-long demand particularly by Western Nigeria.

“But no government had the courage to listen to Nigerians particularly when they heard sovereign, they thought it was a move to overthrow their government.
“We should commend the then three regional leaders, who fought for the nation’s independence, particularly Awolowo who brought great development to the Western region, that is why they are the most educated and enlightened.”

Speaking further on the need for the dialogue, the elder statesman noted that, “Nigeria belongs to all of us. This country was made one by our colonial masters and they didn’t say either north or south should be superior or inferior to the other. There is no country in the world where some people are second class and others are first class citizens so we must sit down and discuss the basis of our unity in this country.”



Now, you can move the goal post. Goodluck with that.

Just wondering why these threads are in the Politics section and not the Ethnic/Tribal Section

Surely it has nothing to do with the fact that Afam is Eboe


Definitely NOT!

Pataki: So simply because the word ''Yoruba'' is mentioned, it gets thrown into the Ethnic section?!

You are a liar .Track back I QUOTED you . You used the word; YORUBLAND . I said the word Yorubaland did dot appear. If you want to change that do so formally not with what I have bolded in this latest quote which only reveals your dishonesty. Other readers can see through your lies

Whether it's Yorubaland or Yoruba, what's the difference? What's your point exactly. Stop gallivanting and make your opinion lucid enough.
