Nice. They broached a very interesting subject.

The same black people complaining that they do not get enough representation out there would be the first to scream when the hear that an athlete, an artist or a tv presenter is gay. Like, how don't you guys see that discrimination has the same basic principle and, therefore, must be approached holistically? Places like the US, Canada, etc. advocate for gay rights not necessarily because the individuals in power are gay or irreligious but because they think deep enough to know that you can't really fight for freedom of the oppressed while using the same principles to oppress others. Getting rid of discrimination is all about being able to treat people equally regardless one's personal beliefs. Until we learn this comprehensive approach to freedom in Africa, we will not make any progress. That's because in the absence of wall-to-wall guidelines on how we treat one another, the people that oppress you will always be justified by the people you oppress.

STYCNig:
Let me correct you here... In any forum of discussion, the rules are that, you attack the "Agenda" of discussion NOT the "Presenter" or the "Personality' but you left the Agenda to attack the presenter, that's very wrong too.

You talked about discernment in your comments, but yourself failed to discern that the OP was referring to Ladies within his locality & environment only. If you reviews post and comments of folks here justly, you would identify that the bashing or name calling of ladies here referred to Nigerian ladies alone and NOT other nationals.... You scope of reasoning and comments should not have been widen outside Naija girls, except that you needed a loophole to make your point

Most often than not, you would have seen post and comments by men attacking their fellows against domestic violence, physical abuses and ill treatment against women. If you follow comments here holistically, you would notice that the males oppose themselves when their fellow is wrong supporting the women... But same is not likely seen among females and women.

Seun as well as other public moderators is not perfect and can never be seen as perfect in giving comments at all instances... But that's not a good reason to daint and ridicule his personality as the head of this great forum,NL.
I think you owe him and every good thinking participants here an apology.

Reading through his post, you could see some jovial aspect on it - that it wasn't meant to attack the female gender. Yes! You have every right, as a participant to address issue you felt inappropriate or unjustly., but do it in a manner that would not sound as hate.

Mind you, you cleverly, ignorantly or deliberately did not comment or opposed the bad treatment he got from your fellows.

Nairaland is a good place to be! So far, the pioneers are doing great job. It takes multitude of intelligence to lead a public forum. Seun you try! Keep it up.

Attack the agenda? You mean you wanted me to start telling an adult "oh, not all women are like that, it is an individual thing"? No bro, I did not come to argue petty things that anyone with a brain already knows. I came to fault his delivery. In other words, the appropriateness of his delivery was my own agenda. Even if he had said Naija girls, it wouldn't have changed a word in my response because Nigeria has more than 100 million women with different cultures and personalities, and showing appreciation has nothing to do with biology.

Yes, you are right, when we see threads about a guy doing something bad or raping someone, you read Nairalanders call him out and say things like "he should be castrated", etc. But there is a difference between condemning the culprit and being sexist. It is a common knowledge that once the topic is about a lady, even when it's just a controversial act and not necessarily a crime, you see them calling out the gender and not just the lady in question. That right there is sexism. Heck, they don't even need a lady to be the culprit, they call out women even on unrelated threads. The romance section is full of threads created to disparage women. How many ladies do we have left on this platform for you to be comparing how they react to threads? In a move to tackle tribalism on this platform, Seun recently promised to bare his fangs against those Nairalanders that check the names of offenders just to know and call out thier tribes. What beats me is how none of you see that calling out a gender cause of the actions of certain individuals also follows the same basic principle of discrimination as tribalism, racism, classism, etc.

I have nothing against Seun. The young man has a difficult job, and I appreciate that fact. He was following me before Nairaland went down in 2014. I have hailed and supported him against others when I felt he was in the right. Likewise, I call him out when I feel he is in the wrong. It is our social responsibility to hold each other accountable. Therefore, his perfection or lack of thereof has no bearing on my response to him. By the way, I am not a lady. I am a man saddened by the unnecessary bias and worried by what it could mean for the future generations. You assuming my gender based on the fact that I'm holding my fellow men accountable only goes to show how deep-rooted the problem is. It means that by your standards, part of being a man is supporting men and there lies the problem, kind sir.

I don't know why we like to make everything about Nigeria. Nigeria is not in the top 3 immigrants in most western countries, but whenever any of these countries modifies thier immigration policy, bloggers will find a way to make it about Nigeria. Canada plans to reduce the number of foreign students next year, this does not specifically target Nigeria, but the OP found a way to put Nigeria in the title.

Incredible128:
With all due respect, I must say that this your analysis is a very foolish one, I wonder who even allowed this into front page... God! @ etrange, come and see analysis abeg 😂😂😂

Lol... I haven't seen the movie to know how he came to his conclusions. Also, I'm not sure what he intends to achieve with that analysis/advice. However, it's not uncommon for people to view or analyze situations, events, stories, movies, etc. through the lense of thier preconceived mindset. One doesn't need to be a philosopher to know that his so-called lessons are narrow and skewed towards convincing women to take things that men wouldn't touch with a six feet pole.

NL guys are always quick to advise women, but 99% of the time, this is always geared towards women widening the window of thier tolerance to accommodate more misgivings from men. I don't have any issues with tolerance provided it goes both ways, but that's hardly ever the case. The OP conveniently ignored the fact that a lot of women lose thier husbands due to domestic violence, cheating or even death. Is he now suggesting that these women should stick to thier husbands and take it all? Ok, let's assume he's only advising those "bad" ladies that leave thier spouses for the silliest reasons, why doesn't he, in that same breath, advise the men that kick out thier wives with thier actions? Why doesn't he tell them that thier children might suffer the consequences? Why doesn't he advise the men that mess around with the hearts of these single mothers just to "chop and go"? Why is he making it as these things are men's birthright and the women are the ones that have to alter thier ways to accommodate the nature of men? I mean, he just pointed out how mean some men can be, but it's the women he's advising to change.

Anyway, it's true that fathers play a big role in the lives of thier kids. This is not because a woman cannot bring the finance, sternness or authority the stereotypical man is known for but because raising a child is simply a difficult task for one person regardless of gender. However, we must never lose sight of the fact that a child raised by a single parent is better off than one raised in a violent home and in many cases, they do end up well. So sometimes, parting ways could be in the best interest of the kids.

Lol... When you listen to the so-called red pillers and hurt the one person that genuinely has your interest at heart and then try to corner her into forgiving you by kneeling down in public to plead with her, it's called emotional blackmail. A lot of people might call her mean for not forgiving him. Otherwise would call him a simp for begging her in such a pitiable manner. However, none of these is relevant as none of us knows what transpired between them. The main point is, a guy that cheated on you is likely to do it again. It's up to you to decide what to do with that information. Likely is the keyword.

show me a Nigerian dish made of krill

I'm telling you that the so-called crayfish you eat in Nigeria contains krills, shrimps, small crabs and small prawns. It does not have crayfish in it at all because you cannot find crayfish in Africa, and crayfish look very different from the aforementioned crustaceans. This aside, there are Nigerian food products that has krills in them. Examples include Siam curry paste for cooking. We even have krill oil as a source of Omega 3 all over the country. So I don't know where you got the idea that Nigerians don't eat krills. You probably saw a fresh krill and you have no idea what it looks like when smoked.

Below is an image of smoked krill for reference. They look almost transparent when fresh but light brown when smoked.

Well, to be fair, necessity breeds invention. Businesses don't buy such vessels for the sake of having them, they get them if/when needed. Probably, there hasn't been any client that necessitated the purchase of one. Keeping/maintaining vessels of that size is extremely expensive. They, therefore, need a business justification for that. Now that we have a big refinery like Dangote, I believe many logistics companies will invest in such huge vessels.

my dad has a fish farm we use krill to feed the fingerlines. Nigerians don't eat krill, they are very tiny. The origin of the word is not from krill. Crayfish exists so we must have learned that word from colonial masters.

HardMirror:
stop confusing people. You obviously have not seen krill before. Ask those who breed fingerings to show you what krill is. The origin of the word crayfish is not from krill.

Dude, what are you saying? I never said the origin of the word crayfish is krill fish. I explicitly corrected the person that said that by stating that they are very different. I even pointed out the physical differences. So what are you on about?

And yes, Nigerians eat krill, prawns, shrimps and crabs. What they do not eat is crayfish, and that is because crayfish are not found in African waters.

Crayfish do not live in African waters, but they're eaten in countries where English is spoken as a first language. So we just say what they say without paying attention to the fact that what we have are krill fish and small shrimps.

The proper and right name for crayfish is Krill fish.
Surprised nobody mentioned krill fish which is the actual name for the crayfish we know.

I fact the name cray fish was coined from the real name krill fish by we Nigerians.
Google is your friend

No, sir. I'm sure your intention is to educate others, but your submission is wrong. Krill fish is very different from crayfish (also known as crawfish or crawdads here in North America). You're right, what we eat in Nigeria are krill fish and shrimps (the larger dark brown ones with less segmented body). And like somehow has already mentioned, you sometimes see prawns and even tiny crabs in the bag. What you will never see in there is the actual crayfish (the reason I'd below). Krill fish looks like small shrimps while crayfish looks more like small lobsters (that is, they also have pincers). However, they are very different and do not even look alike at all. Most importantly, Nigerians did not come up with the name, crayfish.

Fun fact 1: Because these crustacean taste alike and have similar nutritional values, people don't go the extra length of separating them by type when captured. Instead, they are separated by size. This is why you see krills and small shrimps together.

Fun fact 2: We do not have crayfish in African waters. This is the reason you don't see it amongst other crustaceans we buy together.

Wrong. Go on YouTube and see how hospitable they are to black visitors, especially those that speak Chinese.

Chinese will see you on the street and want to take a selfie with you just because you are a black guy or girl.

I'm not saying they hate or like blacks, but I wanted to mention that wanting to take pictures with you because you're black doesn't mean they're being nice. It simply means you're in a city where blacks are extremely rare (thanks to the homogeneous nature of China), so they see you as exotic. They take pictures with you, and sometimes, even touch your hair so that they can show others the thing they saw that day. Now, whether they have good intentions or not, living in a place where you're seen as 'exotic' could be dangerous because when the chips are down, you may not be treated like a normal human being with feelings. That's why blacks prefer to be in diverse cities. I have lived in Asia and North America, and my take is that Chinese people living outside China seem to be generally far more friendly that those born and brought up in China. But it's just based on personal experience and people are different. I'm sure you'd see nice and terrible people everywhere.

Are you preaching righteousness or are you advising people on how to have a peaceful marriage?

He is neither preaching righteousness nor advising anyone on how to have a peaceful home cause if he was doing any of those, his submission would be flawed on multiple grounds.

@OP, you people like keeping women in a confinement with endless list of rules. Men put on tattoos and even earings. They also braid thier hair these days, but you hardly see people coming online to profile them as "for the streets", "unmarriable", etc. But once a lady has a nose piercing or the smallest tattoo on any part of her body, her character becomes questionable. What you failed to realize is that you're viewing these things through the lense of your culture as a Nigerian man. My advice to you is to do what pleases you and let other men marry whomsoever they want to marry. It's not your duty to go around recruiting others to join you in promoting stereotypes. When you do that, then you're not different from the SARS men that assumed every guy with dreads in a scammer.
