₦airaland Forum

ilugunboy: But his handle is still very much on the Mod list for this section ke!

Geomac: @Ikenna,your stay here was too short. It takes a Lion heart to moderate this volatile section.

slimghost: I have made my point but i guess OM4J hid my posts. I will take a prolonged break from Nairaland politics section soon.

PointB: I didn't say she can't unban. I only stated the proper way to do it. And this is by asking the one who banned to unban, and only do it when he refuses. That's the only way to be really 'super', the other way you suggested is 'ordinary' .

slimghost: Stop blabbing! Its no secret that Mukina and OM4J or whatever his name is are biased MODS, always siding the yorubas.

Jarus: Bros, I be MOD EMERITUS nah. I don pass mod now.

Euroclydon: Soldier go soldier come...Barrack remain!

PointB: Ikenna has gone (for good or bad I could care). But the allegation against Mukina2 is valid, and remain. Coming from a fellow MOD it's even more compelling. There is nothing beloved about Mukina2 who enjoys having various ethnic groups go at each others throat by promoting to frontpage threads whose only objective is mudslinging and bigotry.

Ikenna banned people for small slights no doubt. But what Mukina2 ought to have done in any case is to ask Ikenna to unban those wrongfully banned, not unbanning them herself. That is the wrong was to go about it.

Ikenna351: Anyway guys,

I have decided to take my leave from Politics section. I have already informed the Admin, Seun. Please, note that it was my decision. Seun didnt ask me to leave or removed me. So, please dont hold Seun responsible for my leaving. Its just that there are things i cant associate myself with, as long as i still breath. Let me leave it at that.

Please, for those who hate me because i was banning them for insulting other tribes and members, please dont. Its for the best. I have met a lot of Nairalanders here in Abuja. I have become friends with many of them. They can tell you better about me. I take my dont's seriously. You maynot see what i was trying to prevent while as a moderator in Politics section, but you will someday, whether am still alive or not. Truth can never be hidden!

Of course, a lot will be happy to read this post that i have eventually left, but its all good, oneway or another.

It was good to serve you guys.

Ikenna.

Jarus: I was on that seat for two and half years and this is the truth:

1, Tribalism may never be stopped, whether by soft or hard approach. That is the bitter truth. I set it out as an agenda in 2010 when I was made a Mod, but I later came to the realization it may never be stopped. After all, pick a Nigerian newspaper on a typical day and read the headlines: "North declares war on GEJ", "Dokubo threatens to make Nigeria ungovernable is his Ijaw kinsman is not re-elected", "Yorubas present agenda" etc. I'm not saying mods should not try (in fact, it is their primary duty to make this place hell for tribal warriors), but totally eradicating it is impossible. That was my lesson.

2, A mod, like any leader, can never be totally popular.

3, I don't think a mod will deliberately tilt the forum in favour of any interest. I honestly don't think so. But people will always read sectional meanings to whatever he does. When I was on the seat, Desola was accusing me of being anti-Yoruba, the Igbos were accusing me of frolicking with Yorubas and protecting their interest. All these are lies, but they never worried me, because the contradiction in the accusations is enough vindication. A good mod, having satisfied himself that he is doing his job fairly, should not bother about those kinds of accusations. They are part of the job.

PointB: You should direct that question to Mukina2; and then to Seun who empowered Ikenna and his MODs to fight tribalism (whatever it means.)

PointB: By the way I, and many Igbo posters find the userid below very offensive.

MODs,

Kindly do something about it!

willywilly is back again.Oga oam4j do the needed.

PointB: I understand you.

I have commented on his method and pointed out the need for him to co-operate with established norms and unwritten codes; well, judging from the plethora of complaints, it is fair enough to say, Ikenna hasn't changed, at least not much. But I cannot say categorically if his method is working or not. But if he doesn't get the support of Seun/super MODs, I think the reasonable thing for him to do is to resign. Tribalism is NOT easy to fight, especially in a country where ethnic affiliation is stronger than national one. Nigeria is intrinsically a tribalistic country, Ikenna chose a tough course to pursue -ending tribalism, and then he chose to do so in yet tougher way. Tough!

As for Mukina2, well, I stand by my earlier comments!

OAM4J: He was advised and warned not to moderate according to his own rules but to follow the forum rules and if he feels there is need for more rules he should make a case for it, yet he continued doing things his ways. This is not a military section, it is politics section, there is a civil way to go about things yet he will not follow that route. He has an assignment to do, when he goes overboard, those who supervise his actions have a duty to correct his errors.

slimghost: Big Suicide oooo. Anyway you have posted senselessly as usual.

noblezone: As if we are not all witnesses to Buhari's campaign of terror?
2015 is still far, he has already promised that "dogs and baboons" will be soaked in blood.

The blood thirsty General should go and hide in shame because there is blood on his hands.
