We can also generate more revenue by boycotting importation of white people's products.

I.e. imagine we ban car imports and force everyone to use inosson.
Ban iPhone and Samsung, make our own phones.

This can never happen, an average Nigeria has a romantic relationship with white man products.

bigdammyj:
Yes we can on our own solve problems.
It will start from you & I

we should start by stop romancing white products and asking white people to come talk to our leaders for us.

Why are we this foolish. Is there any problem the black race can solve on its own.

Congrats Aketi

DuBLINGreenb:
If it was in south na NDLEA would have over reacted in reply to the killing that area would be red by now

But as it is north nothing will happen just watch

oga just stop

Because SARs is IGP responsibility.

I'm Yoruba and openly congratulations one of us that always make my dear nation proud.

MrColdsweat:
Seun has his limits. He leased nairaland to this satanic government since 2015.

You should mind your words, big man. It's ok to have issues with the government but it's rather unpleasant to direct derogatory words at the government. You can be an occupier of that seat tomorrow.

First of all, I reckon Seun and the moderators should sound out a big warning to all bigot -be it Political, Tribal or Religion. The level of Rhetoric for critics should've limit. In my very best of act, I would block all hateful speech directed at president, tribes, sect, religion and ban the perpetrator respectively.

Arcamax:
I will begin by thanking you for for this wonderful platform that has helped give Nigeria a voice. It is a very laudable achievement as Nairaland has been a source of news, entertainment and education over the years.
I have been a member of Nairaland since 2005 and I've owned a few monikers over the years.
However my reason for this letter isn't only to acknowledge your contributions to the society but also to allay some fears and reservations about some increasingly disturbing trends on Nairaland lately.

My apologies to anyone who might feel offended by the issues I'll raise but some things have to be said.
Nairaland started off well as a place where we were all proud to gather and acquire/disseminate knowledge and information but lately I'm sorry to say that Nairaland is fast going to the dogs.

Any foreigner who visits the site for the first time will have no other impression about Nigerians other than that we are deeply divided and fight like animals. It is the sad truth. This is partly owing to the type of threads that are permissible and vituperations and aspersions cast on each other by opposing tribes and ethnicities. This is part of what motivates other countries to abuse Nigerians because they sense that we are divided. I think certain ground rules can be established as the current rules on this site are mostly ineffectual and rarely implemented.

I don't see why you'll pin a thread discouraging secession on politics section front page but allow folks to hurl tribal and ethnic slurs against each other.
I don't see why free for all ethnic banters are allowed and encouraged by moving such to the front page.
Of all the social media platforms we use in Nigeria, Nairaland is the most powerful at promoting and encouraging ethnic divides and antagonism but maybe you Seun, are yet to realize that.

On twitter, everybody acts woke, on facebook, everybody is showing off what they don't actually have. On instagram, some hustle and some show off. On LIB, bellanaija etc, folks just want juicy gossip. On Nairaland, it's a jungle where free for all fights are encouraged.
The days where superior arguments and serious intellectual discourse reigned supreme on Nairaland are long gone. It has fast become the wild wild west of the African cyberspace and every form of stupidity and unruly behaviour is welcome.

If you went to an american site or Rwandan site and saw the kind of content one usually sees on Nairaland, what opinion would you form about the country?

This site is helping to promote disunity and entrenching it upon the younger generation as a huge chunk of nairaland's present membership is under 25 years. Some of these kids have a street comraderie with friends from other tribes but when they come on Nairaland, it's time to voice out all forms of vituperations against tribes to which some of their best friends belong to all because of the anonymity which the internet holds. Anonymity shouldn't be an excuse for folks to lose decency.
Serious minded folks will only watch events unfold on Nairaland when they can find the time but will not bother to comment. These serious minded folks are the ones who can actually bring investment to Nairaland not the rabble rousers.

Even facebook with billions of users still has strict enforcement of guidelines which are regularly reviewed.

I look forward to the day Nairaland will be acquired partly or wholly by the big techs, but not with the kind of content it presently promotes. Content is key. You need to ask yourself why membership enrollment has dropped drastically despite most of the membership being from individuals with multiple monikers and the site still has way less than 5million members since inception? In a nation of 200+million? Plus other nationalities on the platform?

I enjoin you to kindly revise site rules and it's enforcement to drive quality traffic to your site. I am concerned as one of the early members having taken a long break due to the content and returning to find worse content. The media is a powerful tool that shouldn't be used dangerously.

Thanks for your time as I hope to enjoy a better Nairaland in the coming days.

Yours sincerely,

Arcamax.


Ps: It would be appreciated if any of the mods can push this to the front page. Lalastic lala, I know this is not a snake thread but you can push it to the front page please.

Fortunately, and unfortunately, Nairaland got is brand from the currency note of the Oneness of United Nigeria, so I'm of the opinion that this platform should support it's brand (UNITED NIGERIA) more than anything.

stonemasonn:
Is it deliberate? Maybe you should send a petition to the ministry of information to close down nairaland.com if that'll make you happy.

I think Mr Osewa needs to strengthen his moderation against tribalism and false information.

Reno na fool aswear.

Tacha worked hard to be where she is, she has the same 24hrs like the lazy idiots asking her for money does.

i love his honesty

Today, I had a close look into Nigeria export website and I felt very disappointed. Although, I don't blame the government because it all the fault of all of us for not contributing into export exploration.

I thereby commit us to start to by registering as an exporter on the Nigeria Exporters Website. https://nepc.gov.ng/

Even if it's food items to Nigerians in diaspora, slippers, pencil, clothes, Textile make something and put that "Made in Nigeria" brand.

Yinmu, I fit bet my balls, 99% of hausa community in South will always vote for apc/Buhari

because APC/Buhari is fielding an Igbo presido.

victorazyvictor:
Sorry! Yaradua & Jonathan did it.

sorry where are they again?

Oga, he is a Man like me and You.

Mr Francis, Shut UP!

So, does being a christain makes him a better person.

Abeg DJT is who he is, he's religion sect makes no difference.

self Hating black man.

Freestainworld:
good for the people of South East

Good For Nigeria

Wait! How can you rape someone and still drop them at home. I find this hard to believe. #blackManLynching

Nchenches:
He later took her home when she called the police?

Why did she not flee and call the police before then?

I dont believe the story either.

tot:
I was saying it on the other thread re: Yul edochie's teenage daughter. You see some of them on nairaland saying a small girl is ripe already and all kinds of inappropriate comments.

They then proceed to carry the same sick mentality overseas thinking the rest of the world permits their madness.

Rape is different from Pedophile.

Bkayyy:
And which of the things I wrote up there is directed to the North.
One thing you people don't know is that South East is a very homogeneous region and the inhabitants care less about other ethnic groups

We can only glamorize on results and the outcome of the reaction of the fellows from the region. What you're trying to articulate is that they're few or many people with open-minded, diverse and thoughtful mentality like yourself just like it is in all tribe.

Fleshly:
They are not loosing, they have lost it already. We Ndigbo have taken complete charge of the propaganda battle and they know it. Don't you see how we are fixing everyone. We made sure a whole Tinubu crawled back to his hole, the man can't even speak again. Ditto Elrufai and other anti Igbo newspapers. The few egg heads on nairaland are just taking the advantage of nairaland being a faceless forum to write nonsense. But to be honest, it is best for people to always talk about us, even for the wrong reason. There's a saying that bad publicity is better than no publicity. So don't make too much bones with people who choose to even write negative thing about us.

Bro, you guys are in charge of nothing, i shouldnt be saying this cos i believe in black oneness. Politically speaking, i want an Igbo president but is that a solution NO. Two things, we need to be making out of 2023 election, is 1, Render Northern political affulence dominant, 2, The common peple should stop automatically marrying into the personality romance by the political parties- we should stop voting for zoning and for hate against another tribe.

Black man wake up.

Bkayyy:
They lack organization and they were able to fight the colonialists for 28 years ( a feat no black race came close to or dared).
They lack organization and they were able to have a system of government known as "ụmụnna" which was more complex than the Greco-Roman parliament system and made controlling them extremely difficult for the colonialists.
They lack organization and their women were able to organize "ABA women's riot" which is an inspiration for modern day feminism.
They lack organization and they were able to withstand Nigeria, UAR and their alies (Isreal and Britain included) for 3 solid years.
They lack organization and they are able to turn parts of all major markets in Nigeria to igboland, to the extent that it appears as if one person owns the entire shops.
They lack organization and their forum "ọhaneze Ndigbo" makes more news and commands more respect than any Nigerian ethnic forum.
They lack organization but when you hear the name "Igbo" you will never see only one person but multitude.
My brother, "Igbo dị omimi" - "Igbo is mysterious", we are not like you average black men that is why our ways are confusing for you people. While average black men count their ancient greatness in number of kings they had, the Igbo man see it as oppression for one person to rule all.
Dont allow ignorance to control you, if you want to know how United Ndigbo are, come to Onitsha or any city in South East and speak English.

Bro, i respect the culture, struggle and impact. all of it. But we need to be clear about something, you guys are more organisation based on group hate and animosity you have towards the North, this form of organisation never gets you anywhere. When i say organisation, i am talking about systematic strategy to get all you want without chesting beating or cultlass romping.

Let's be honest, Igbos are very industrious and hard-working but they lack organisation. They don't have genuine intention for each other i.e. they have phobia of being together -the fear of going home if you're successful.

ejanla077:
Oga stop dabbling into wat u dont understand... What has board of directors got to do wit anything...

Open ur mouth waaa. And disgrace everything

Just look at the level of rhetoric you used in your quotation. It shows your mental competence. I didn't direct any degree of insolence at your person or that of innoson.

uuzba:
What stops you from going there to buy his car and drive it around Africa?
If you want car, you buy car.
It doesn't matter where the car is located.

he need to map his sales outlets around major states and rebrand his board of directors. Pls compare innoson with dangote or uba board

jidamsel43:
Innoson.... the pride of Africa

he needs to expand nationwide and stop being igbotic

Na money b fine bobo

Why do black Man need an European and Arab
