Nairaland was 7 in March this year. In its 7 years of existence, 5 of which I was actively a participant, I have witnessed many fierce rivalries among some members. For history purpose, I have started this thread to discuss the rivalries and how they played out.

For now, three come to my mind (in no order)

1, Beaf v Oyb: Since 2009 when Beaf joined Nairaland, he has never seen eye to eye with oyb. Both of them are always at the opposite heads of debates, always following one another about, throwing tantrums and punches, both serving bans in the process. So hot are their stand-offs that if it were to be real life, necks would have been wrung.

2, Beaf v Gbawe: For anybody familiar with Nigerian politics, it is well known that ACN are the biggest opposition to ruling PDP. Same has been playing out on Nairaland since at least 2010. The opposition camp is led by Gbawe while the PDP/GEJ camp is led by Beaf. Anywhere these two guys meet, it's war.

3, Olabowale v Davidylan:[/b]From 2006 through 2009, when the Nairaland Religion section was in its fiecest phase, there were two main gladiators: Davidylan and Olabowale. Olabowale, now out of Nairaland, led the NL Muslims ably supported by Babs787, while Davidylan and his lieutenant, Ohsisi, marshalled from the Christianity tent. With keyboards being smatched and phone keypads being punched, the Religion section was by far the hottest on Nairaland then. Seun's joker, albeit forced, of creating a separate childboard for the Muslims, to a reasonable extent, calmed frayed nerves.

[b]4, Tpia v Funmi series: One of the fiercest rivalries in the early years of Nairaland was that between Tpia and a lady called Funmi, who operated under different monikers such as Hotfunmi, Deepzone, Redhotchic, Earthmama, Osunamazon,pepperspray etc. Any thread they 'sighted' one another, it was war!

5, Becomrich v Imaginary Seun: Becomrich aka Musiwa has been on Nairaland for many years and he has only one person as his rival: Seun! Anything that happens to Becomrich, real or imagined, to him it is caused by Seun. He even claims Seun is responsible for his bad English. He pulled out of Nairaland to form his own site he called 'Globe'. Although the other guy ignores him, Becomrich appears not done yet on his Seunophobia.


Can we have more? And with justifications. Bust-ups in just one or two threads do not qualify to be 'hot rivalry' as used here.
