IS GEJ also the reason for destitutes all over the world? lol. Were there not destitutes in Nigeria before PDP was formed? Fashola and APC has been fighting the poor and destutues and that is an undeniable fact!

If this is true, why are those destitutes running from PDP states to find opportunity in APC states.

If what you said is true, under PDP's leadership we would not see so many people fleeing Nigeria. Even hiding in plane tires!

How can a leader be surprised when his followers follow in his footsteps?

Jonathan played politics in the NGF election, and caused chaos in the SE. He sounds like a hypocrite for firing the minister for doing the same thing.

What next? Firing judges for giving light sentences to corrupt politicians after he pardoned Alams!
Celebrities / Re: Oprah 'suffers Racism' In Zurich Switzerland by bobthebuilder99(m): 9:46pm On Aug 09, 2013
m-ployer:
I see no racism here. Oprah's appearance, conduct and probably skin colour may hav communicated "low class" . The attendant was only using her initiative, though she missed it. Nobody is hating on anyone. I guess she was just trying to save Oprah some embarrassment but ended up doing the opposite. Oprah is the racist here.

I didn't realize that there were so many white people on Nairaland.

biafranqueen: Trust me you will find nothing about any tribe except my own tribe, I am against injustice,even with the Lagos drama I was the one telling them to go home and develop and explaining to them that they are just leasing the land. I have never and would never write anything about another tribe. The only tribe I talk about is the Elite and the leaders because ALL NIGERIANS are facing injustice. I told you the two times I wrote naughty things because I was defending all Nigerian women. My username is an ideology that I use to rally development in Igboland period. I always advocate ONE Nigeria because I would be the one to lose if the the Naira devalues!

I have made many immature tribal comments since joining the site. It is hard not to retaliate.

The best thing would be for the mods to sanitize some threads and to refrain from putting divisive posts on the front page.

biafranqueen: please show me the post I am sure you will never find it, and if you read my post they are all about Igbos going home to build up the East, that is what it means I advocate for 1 Nigeria and have even taken heat when I advise Igbos to go home and develop. I suggest you go through all of of them I have write nothing but love for Hausa's only the one time I was acting immature was against One guy Somalian and once against Pagan who kept putting down Nigerian women and men saying they look like monkeys and they are prostitutes. everything I posted about Pagans tribe, which was not Hausa were true facts about why the women, may not go into into prostitution, because they married them off as little girls, I was banned from the thread, but months later what I said was every where. As for Somalian i started posting pictures of his own people and I felt very bad and changed my tune , because that was low of me and very wicked from that I have never indulged again in allowing someone to bring me to such a low level. I suggest you check well before accusing me of false hoods because I have grown up with Muslims in the East in our compound. I even praise Muslims on how honest and humble they are. I fought against those that called Muslims terrorist . So please find anywhere I spoke against Muslims Shame on you clean your own eyes because if I start posting your comments we would see who is really the bigot.

I am not going to search through over 1000 of your comments to find the one's I saw. I think you are right that it wasn't about the Hausa, but about a pagan tribe from the North. It was when I just started reading Nairaland and I pegged you as Igbo because of your name. Also, your username made your posts sound even more racist.

OAM4J:

First tell me who you think moved the thread and why you think he moved it. I will answer you after that.

Does it even matter? Right now people think some of you are tribalist, but maybe you all are.

If Nigerians are tribalists, it's not surprising that Nigerian moderators would be tribalist too.

ogb5: How we treat the poor says a lot about us.

Hoarding the poor like cattle in a truck is not the way to go. Just a little help can do a lot to lighten the burden of these poor people. What is wrong if fashola give these poor each like 100k to start a petty trade to help themselves. Helping 70 of them like that will only cost 7million and thats nothing.

Trampling on the down throdden should be discouraged by sane people. 1st it was okada riders, today it's the poor on the streets, tomorrow it might be hawkers or petty traders.

The poor are always a part of a city, you can't escape it, trampling on them because they are poor and voiceless does not make us civil.

6000 people move to Lagos daily. We don't have the resources to handle that kind of population.
Politics / Re: REVEALED: Why APGA Suspended Governor Okorocha ––umeh Speaks by bobthebuilder99(m): 9:22pm On Aug 04, 2013
Obiagu1: What will happen next?

APC picks Okorocha as their VP candidate in 2015 meaning he will not run as governor again.
APGA swoops in and reclaim Imo State.

PDP vs APC, PDP wins again as always.
Okorocha runs to Labour Party to become their next presidential candidate.

All I know is that Rocha is a finished product and will never smell Aso Rock. By 2015, he will realize that.

How can you say 'PDP wins as always' when APC was registered last week?
Politics / Re: APC Will Serve The Political Fortunes Of Ndigbo– Okorocha by bobthebuilder99(m): 9:11pm On Aug 04, 2013
PDP cannot afford to lose the SE vote, so they have already started their campaign to make Igbos believe that APC hates them.

Judging by social media, it seems to be working.

Prof Corruption: When you guys are ready to fight tribalism or whatever nomenclature is adopted, you know what to do. Repeating the same thing again and again but expecting different result is a joke.

By the way, why's MASSOB ( a known separatist group) reponse to LASG on front page while the one from APC kept on one corner of politics section?

Putting MASSOB on the front page is just pouring gas on the fire.

They are a separatist group that wants to break Nigeria apart, and create a new country solely based on tribal affiliations. How are they anything BUT tribalists. Yet they are on the front page everytime they sneeze.

The MASSOB thread is back open again after all the posts from Yoruba were deleted! SMH. The mods have no intention of stopping tribalism. They just want to silence the Yoruba.

biafranqueen: I really hope you guys are serious. I know an American white that I was trying to recruit for a certain business he googled leasing land in Nigeria from that he went to politics sections and told me it looks like a tribal war will start anytime! He was so appalled at the amount of tribalism and started talking about Rwanda and Liberia he thought it was the western influence, but now he is seeing a different side embarassed I was really embarrassed and quite speechless. This website is getting a lot of media attention if Forbes.com was to come back and check on progress am sure they would change there tunes. This is really making all Nigerians look bad!

It is very funny that you write this when your username is BiafranQueen.

Did you tell him what your username is, and what it means? I have seen your posts on this site, and they are often tribal in nature.

Some of your posts when I first joined the forum are actually the reason that I first started thinking that Igbos were racist. At the time you were writing very vile posts about the Hausa.

The question is, will their home states try to turn it into a tribal issue, or be mature and realize that it is a non-discriminatory policy that effects everyone equally.

Here is the New York Police Department arresting some drunks for being a public nuisance.

Good job to whoever closed that MASSOB thread. It was really bad over there. It is a great start to ending tribalism on NL.

I swear I was never a tribalist until I came on this site and saw all the insults directed at my tribe.

Sai NL!

sexkillz: When you all are done bickering, you'll act accordingly. The tribal talks end on this thread.

We are taking this issue very seriously. Good bye to 2 week bans. The minimum is 1 month, and no amount of pleading will make us unban you.


Tomorrow there will be at least two tribal threads promoted to the front page, so good luck with that! Lol.


I'm gonna go back to reading page 10+ pages of tribal bashing in that MASSOB thread.

ujchief:

All these accusations, counter-accusations and name calling is not necessary. If you all calm down, you will realize that many things are not the way you presume them to be.

For a start, Mods don't take threads to frontpage, so accusing Afam of doing so is wrong. The supermods and Admin is in charge of threads going to frontpage; the mods just recommend. So if you feel they are being biased in that regards, then take it up with semid4lyfe and mukina2 (supermods) and seun the admin.

The fact that there's variety in selection of mods is an added advantage. If you feel the action of a mod towards you is unfair, then you can come to the complaint thread and seek the attention of the co-mod that you feel will redress the issue. Its as simple as that.

I hope this call for truce really works out; it was more fun when we directed our anger on our leaders at aso rock and the political parties that has no framework for the development of this country. But turning every discussion to a tribal warfare is so not funny anymore.

Whether it was Afam or Mukina is not the point. The point is that it is hypocritical to put tribal bashing threads on the front page and then act surprised when tribes start bashing eachother.

What is the point of putting that hatred on the front page, if not to make us fight? If you are serious about reducing tribalism, you can start by taking down that thread.

OAM4J: @ All

Pls supply links of ethnic insultive threads (Yorubas are..., Igbos are...., Hausas are... etc ) that are still active here.

Thanks.

I will help you.

Please immediately remove the MASSOB thread that was posted to the front page today. Sack Afam as well.

Why?

That thread is a perfect example of what many here have said severally. Igbo mods posting tribal threads to the front page to give their brothers an excuse to attack other tribes. It happened to the Hausa when Boko Haram was heating up, with shameful threads hitting the front page, now it is directed at Yoruba.

2. Joe Igbowke wrote a sane and calm appeal to Igbos to be calm and to think rationally about the deportations. Many posters created threads about it. NOT A SINGLE MODERATOR PUT THIS ON THE FRONT PAGE. Yet the next day they post MASSOB calling Yoruba "Alama and red oil".

3. Afam takes up 90% of the 1st page, then promotes it to the front page, so that his viewpoint is heard over the other forumites.

4. That thread is filled with nothing but tribal trash AND MASSOB IS NOT A NIGERIAN ORGINIZATION! It is purely an Igbo separatist organization. Why must their every word and action be on front page of Nairaland?

Really read that thread and tell me how that thread is not CAUSING ethnic rivalry and hostility on Nairaland. Afam read this thread yesterday (where you said "NL and the moderators in this section do not believe in all these ethnic rivalries, hostilities and wars." ) and then promptly promoted a tribal rant from a separatist group to the front page of this website. He just spit in your face AND every Yoruba's face.
