₦airaland Forum

Seun:
Dear Igbo People,

I sincerely apologize for allowing a toxic political banner advert which said, "Lagos can never be run from Anambra; go and vote" to run on Nairaland for several hours on Wednesday, March 15, 2023.

The mischievously worded banner advert appears to have been part of an ethnically divisive political campaign aimed at securing Lagos State for the ruling party by instilling fear in Yoruba people, making them believe that Igbo people intended to "take over" Lagos State.

Such ethnically divisive political campaigns have no place in a forward-thinking democracy, and for this reason, the ad should have been taken down instantly. No harm was intended, but my lack of forethought about the ethics of that type of advert led to a disappointing outcome.

We should have had a clear policy against accepting negative and ethnically divisive ads on Nairaland, we should have communicated it to all advertisers, and we should have taken down any advert that violated that policy instantly. This will all be in place before the next election.

We made almost N16,000 from the ad. We will double it and donate it to victims of political violence in Lagos.

Please, do NOT give up on Nigeria. The times are challenging, but TOGETHER, we will overcome.

Sincerely,
Seun Osewa.

thunder fire you just for 16k something that can't buy u a decent meal you really bleeped up

You're an animal.

Ban me!

This election has made me hate yorubas to death you see your brothers who have illegal passport here be expecting them soon down to Nigeria soon just be watching

Grupo:
@Seun, you blocked me on Twitter after I called your attention to this same ad.

I wasn't even abusive, I just said "have you seen this? Seun" And you blocked me.

Not that it matters. Just calling out your hypocrisy.

Apologising is just typical yarriba behaviour.

Highly commendable move.

Disregard the insatiable noisemakers here. What you've done is honorable.

SEUN YOU ARE A CURSED HUMAN and a cursed person shall you remain for the rest of your days.

Your forum breeds ethnic bigots.... They're reporting you.

What were you thinking when you accepted the advert? I believe people must have complained that's why you are here apologizing. No need to apologise because the harm has been done. Nairaland is anti- igbo. We knew that a long time ago. For those who may want to come for my head, I am a Deltan with no affiliation to the igbos. I am just saying it as is.

Cc: seun

Dentidon:
Why the apology? Is the mantra different from Edo no be Lagos? So who dey cry? Na ment?

Yes, Lagos no be Anambra! High time everyone sink that in.

Low thinking idiot. Was anybody killed or harmed in edo during the “edo No be Lagos “ mantra. The post here said it is donating to the victims of electoral violence in Lagos. And low animal like you is bleeding like an unfed dog

Seun, before the Saturday election I wrote a piece addressed to you concerning how your platform is used to propagate hate and bigotry but you never listened. Now I’m already all out agains anyone that’ll attack the Igbos here

See your achievement.
Its only dullard would be deported.
If you are illegal immigrant go and seek for asylum, from there you quickly look for a permanent job to regularize your living permit.

loosecanon50:
Seun, there’s no need apologizing because the harm has already been done. Believe it or not, that ad contributed to the war that happened in Lagos….the WAR they termed as election.

The only thing you can do to redeem your image it to ban outrightly, anybody who makes tribalistic/bigoted comments, or creates any topic that can stir up ethnic division or tension in your forum. Be it Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba or any other tribe. Ban them for life because this forum is becoming too toxic.

I believe I speak for the multitude.

Will Seun and Dominique hear this one?

So many times we complained to you how some of your moderators are always fanning the flames of tribal war in this forum, but you look away and allow them to give us lengthy bans.
Mynd44, dominique are all anti-Igbo" they hate anyone criticizing Tinubu, Oluomo and APC.
Do something about your forum before you are being invited for questioning.
Watch the moderators I called out ban me.

The election has been won that's why he's apologizing. He thinks we're fools . Like somebody rightly said, karma awaits him.

Medicine after death. Your attention was called to that ad several times,you chose to ignore now you are apologizing for nothing. So what exactly are you asking forgiveness for? Hypocrite

doublewisdom:
Yorubas are shouting that Igbos should go home. You see that Lagos, we go share am with una forever. The earlier you accept reality the better for you all.

No problem if mc oluomo boys start harrassing you don't come here to complain .. you have been warned

Fira09:
That's 32K

To gain what exactly?

Political grandstanding

HardMirror:
you must be stupid. You think you can indirectly insult yorubas. Yes thugs were stoping fresh people from voting. The reason is they think woke people including woke yorubas did not buy into their agenda. It is as simple as that. Those thugs do not represent us, they are the bad eggs among the yorubas just as you are one of the bad eggs among igbos

You are even more stupid for insulting him to prove your point

IrawoKross:
You are even more stupid for insulting him to prove your point

as if i give a fvck.

This is another shameless and needless pandering, you're part of the problem and definitely not the solution and if apology is your new self-righteous and self-serving way, you do have a lot to apologize.

This is tribal pandering and selective apology, a sad continuation of the divide.

HardMirror:
as if i give a fvck.

That's why I said you are also stupid for insulting him.

I careless if you give a fvck or not.

as if i care. 😃😂😂😂

Seun,

You showed your true colours.

Stoking xenophobia and hate for PROFIT!

Did your employees not notice the divisiveness of the ad once it hit their advert inbox?

Alaye, shift. It favours your tribe, you support. If it doesn't, you cry. Keep crying as usual.
