People that complain about tribalism here on nairaland are living in a bubble...they hate the truth and fail to face reality

Nairaland is just a reflection of the reality of Nigerians.

If you can't face the reality that Nigeria is a country of various tribes that wont agree with each other, you can go to Facebook or Twitter where false reality and niceness is accepted. Infact Facebook and Twitter are run by the mob that hate anything truth. They hate the rawness and reality of living in Nigeria.

As for those so called old intellectual, where does it says that old age stops arguements and comments on nairaland....the reason they stopped is because they have nothing to offer.

I was a guest on NL for years before I registered an account.
Back then it was really educative and informative with intelligent comments and intellectual arguments.

We didn’t all see eye to eye but then, harmony comes from a blend of different sounds. I wouldn’t have been surprised if Shekau also browsed NL to keep abreast of the world outside Sambisa. grin

To me it signified an era of youths that hungered for better in their country.

What we’re seeing now is the animosity and hateful rhetorics filtered in from 2014 by desperate politicians.

Most of the monikers frequenting the front pages now offer only politically motivated propaganda and bile. Everyone wants to air their opinions even when they know next to nothing about the topic.

It’s so sad but my beloved NL is just a representation of the sorry state of the nation.

Continue to RIP HungerBad.

Nairaland lost it when Apc employed mass media campaign against the then government of Jonathan. The intense media campaign from the opposition and counter rebuttal from the PDP left nairaland in its wake till date.

The paid hacks basically killed intellectual discourse in this forum as every comment was analyzed from the ethnic and partisan perspective.

Must be said, Apc majority northern and South West stock, against the PDP, mostly South East and South South posters set the ethnic undertone. Buhari didn't help matters, with the sectional 5% comment and appointments. Funny enough, most of those warlords have since left the scene leaving the dregs to hold sway.

Y' all shouting NL has lost its value don't even know what you are saying.

Till tomorrow you will still find comments that are full of substance and intelligence on NL but y'all just want to be claiming 'woke' and 'I too know'.

Even with the bants, the sentiment and tribal disagreement here, you will still find high level of critical reasoning here.

So y'all should stop the NL has lost its value talks.

Since 2011 that I have been on this forum I have always been seeing substantial comments and many intellectuals are still here.
Except for some few 'baby adults' who think NL is where to brag about Yahoo Yahoo business and their imaginary extravagant lifestyle.


NL is still full of highly intelligent people and if you think because people are divided along tribal and religion lines then NL has lost it value, then I will tell you that your assertion is wrong.
Don't blame NL blame your government who have succeeded in dividing Nigerians and it is not only NL you will find tribal bashing, it's everywhere, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, on the streets and even in the Office.


I don't know what y'all want tho.


The only thing I will suggest to Seun and his mods is that when you ban someone, don't just show for long you are banning him/her let them know why you are banning them so that they won't repeat the same thing when the are unbanned.
Is as much as l agree with you that the situation of the country is pivotal to the tribal inclinations here. However, let me put that l never said the interlectuals are no more rather mainly on ghost mood but the daily manner most people carry themselves is a big factor to that


Every platform has it's problem to contend with but can you beat your chest for fairness sake and say the ethnic tension on nairaland is uncontrollable?

Disrespect to which folks exactly.

If they have sound opinion, they would have aired it. They have nothing to offer other than grumble just like you are doing.

There are lot of smart comments here on nairaland. I believe you are more interested in lording over others because you have an account created before nairaland was born.

You got the point as behold an old moniker since 2013. Just as our parents cry for how the country has deteriorated, same way l am reminding Seun that NL can me managed better

What l see on NL daily tortures my intelligence.

APC 2014/2015 campaign of calumny spread hatred into the minds of people nationwide and Nairaland was openly partisan, banning any comments that is against APC...

Tribal hatred between north and south and other geopolitical zones became so loud... The north was boasting of their political victory and calling the south insignificant 5%... Remember people like Sarkii and his gang of APC E-worriors who brought Nairaland to the ground with their insensitive hatred, Cyber yelling, bullying and trivialising matters of national immagency.

Around 2016/2017.. Seun was alleged to have joined Atheism. I cannot confirm how true that was; but, those periods, atheist saw Nairaland has their nuture ground.



Finally, the influx of university admission seekers and fraudster who has nothing upstairs but seeking for who to defraud and other juvenile delinquency.


I can go on.... But here we are today....

Well, change they say is constant. Just as APC federal government had changed the country, we just have to deal with it.


My worry is that some monikers will go about insulting people, tribes and all sorts of disinformation without being checkmated.

Nobody is against airing anybody's opinion and dissatisfactions but should be civil as much as possible.

As for Seun and political miscrants , making money is more important and but l have no problems with that but the way those folks go about it.

There is one individual you called an intellectual who is not one. Caps.locked is an open misogynist and angry atheist who spreads needless hate on the forum. If these are the people considered intellectual, then it is no surprise the standards have fallen drastically low. How can an intellectual support something so illogical and driven by only hate? How can an intellectual abuse people so freely? Because he is what, old and probably a millionaire?

Then there is a contributor called ross.ikk on this very thread. This same person rained abuses on me needlessly for sharing my opinion. He called me a slave and everything else you can imagine without me personally abusing him. If this is another old millionaire intellectual, then please, let this forum go to the dogs.

We should welcome people like that because they could be millionaires and intellectuals? Are they really aware of the people they are insulting and hating on endlessly, needlessly? What if those people too are millionaires and intellectuals in their own right?

The only thing the old ones have going for them is insults, abuses and hate. It's good if they don't show up anymore. They aren't different from the abusive, hateful grasshoppers of today.

The op is confused on who is an intellectual.

According to him, if you have an old account in nairaland, you are an intellectual even if your comments are filled with rage and anger

You've summed up the eras.

Truly there was a political era, the atheist era, we are currently in the misogyny, woke era. The one that destroyed everything was the political/election era where this forum became a campaign ground and toxic ideologies were spread like wildfire.

Wonder what the next one will be.
