Please explain why my post was removed.
Is it now a taboo to mention the words Igbo Ojukwu and Biafra in the same sentence? I would sincerely appreciate a frank explanation. I am sure if you review your stats you will see that this particular MOD is doing the most deleting. Was my post removed because he does not like it?

There are some people who see ANY subject through the lens of Ojukwu Igbo Biafra and I pointed this out quite politely without abuse and it was removed. Is it forbidden to say Igbo OJukwu Biafra? Because if those words; Igbo Ojukwu Biafra are forbidden make it clear to us; These words ;Igbo Ojukwu Biafra are forbidden on Nairaland and if you utter the words ;Igbo Ojukwu Biafra then those words Igbo Ojukwu Biafra will be deleted.
If that is clear why will I disobey and continue typing Igbo Ojukwu Biafra.

Sometimes people do things innocently without knowing they are breaking rules. I am not aware of a rule banning the use of the words Igbo Ojukwu Biafra.Please confirm is the use of the words;Igbo Ojukwu Biafra banned .I did not not know that Igbo Ojukwu Biafra was banned otherwise I would not type Igbo Ojukwu Biafra.
So please don't let me go astray by typing ;Igbo Ojukwu Biafra if the use of Igbo Ojukwu Biafra is prohibited

This is a link from guardian. Where's the Nairaland link?

wesley80: ^At least you were courteous enough to offer an explanation, OAM4J banned me for 5days without as little as a notification or explanation for "tribalism" apparently for mentioning Oduduwa and wussies in one breath. I'm still waiting for a justification of the utterly senseless ban.

wesley80:
I know you Mods have privileges but should you also be modifying peoples posts at will? The bolded is a moniker I've not been able to manage typing for some time so I go with the much easier OMAJE4 and as far as I've seen and heard, no one has expressed any discomfort, so why on earth was my post modified by whoever and the contents attributed to me? If someone with such privileges isn't comfortable with a post I made, why not do the usual hiding of posts? What right do you have to modify the content of my post without my consent? Na your head I take type am? abeg abeg abeg

^At least you were courteous enough to offer an explanation, the pin headed OMAJE4 banned me for 5days without as little as a notification or explanation for "tribalism" apparently for mentioning Oduduwa and wussies in one breath. I'm still waiting for a justification of the utterly senseless ban.

OAM4J:

When you posted it the first time, you saw how quickly your post was picked on by other posters and the thread was being derailed into another tribal bashing but for my quick intervention. At that time I banned nobody but hid all the posts. But trying to be smart, you posted the same thing again making it look like you were only replying to a post.

Seeing how it was derailing the thread, turning it into tribal war, and my hiding it should have stopped you from posting it again but of course it seems you cant resist posting it so I had to ban you to prevent you from posting it the third time and posting anything that will derail a thread into a tribal war in the future.

We are trying to bring a lasting sanity here, you are not the only one affected, in the last few days Mukina2 and I must have banned not less than 30 serial tribal warriors across the ethnics. All we are saying is that; you should make your point on topic and while doing that dont insult another poster or ethnic group.

Thanks.

Ok, I didn't see this earlier but I'm sure you can forgive me seeing it took you the best part of 7 DAYS to manage a response. Back to topic.
If you say my post was picked on by other posters to indulge in ethnic bashing, does that necessarily make me a tribalist? I only made a wicked humoured joke - granted - that was seized upon by others ( Seanet and Dayokanu) two notorious tribalist to do what they are known for. I reposted after the post was clean because I felt they wouldve moved on and others regardless of tribe would enjoy the joke just as I alluded to in my second hidden post on that thread, but you had to make a point allbeit an ill informed one!
I have no history of indulging in ethnic bashing, I received no warning and you gave me no explanation for a first time offender even when I was at a loss as to why I couldn't post yet you show up acting all macho like a freshly castrated eunuch and you expect me to have kind words for you?
I know you guys are trying to bring sanity in here but charity should start at home - some of you guys appear to be less sane than those you're after, the resort to lengthy bans at the slightest provocation is absurd and for folks with a clear conscience as myself it only achieves the direct opposite when a simple sentence wouldve left me accepting my ban in good spirit - a simple sentence!
Now here we are with a newly formed "wesley8 series" (10 in all) and a bloated NL membership figure because of trigger happy common sense lacking Mods.

Afam4eva:
Let me inform Seun about that.

OAM4J:

I thought the reason I banned you was obvious. My bad. Apologies for not breaking it down to you earlier.

You do not need series of monikers if you dont plan to break the rules. Besides it is a waste of your time IMO, since the series can all be banned in seconds with a click of a button compare to the length of time it took you creating them.

Just remain the law-abiding good person you used to be and we will be good friends.

Thanks.

OAM4J: ^The moniker is OAM4J. Only 5 characters that shouldn't be difficult to remember. Next time you type it as OMAJE4 or any other way, I will see it as a deliberate attempt to abuse my moniker.

Thanks.

wesley8: Mods when is the ban on Wesley80 due to elapse? Abi na indefinite ban?

Odunnu: Mr Wesley,
just so you dont feel ignored, lemme answer you.
Whenever you are banned, (you will be banned several times over, going by your stubborness) just check your profile the reason is always there, the 'ban-ner' would be listed and when it would expire would also be listed. Just view your profile.
In this case, your ban will expire on the 25th.
