However, you didn't express yourself the right way. You just broke rule 2 and rule 20. Too bad. 🤷‍♂️

Really Seun? Ishilove?

I never knew this time would come ever.
You just discover she is a serial liar?
I always try to make you see this back then but here will go
So sad HBG is not here to see this.

Fellow Nairalanders,

We have noticed the use of ethnic slurs and other derogatory names by a small but persistent group of political actors and trolls.

This practice of derogatory name-calling adds no value to the forum. It's bad for our mental health, our harmony as a community, and the reputation of Nairaland. It's simply toxic. It's absence and the absence of the people who use those slurs will not be missed.

Therefore I have decided to ban the practice entirely. I have instructed dominique, mukina2, Lalasticlala and Mynd44 to ban anyone who uses an ethnic slur or derogatory name on Nairaland. The antispam bot will also contribute to the effort. Please report any case that you see.

This is good.
Thanks you sir.

We also advise he removes Lalasticlalaa. He's very notorious for targeting people from another region and leaving insults left by his own people

Where is lalasticlala from?

Nicely put @Seun.

We also need 2 more moderators that would immediately delete any thread that is ethnically bigoted in nature. These posts tend to be opened after 12 midnight Nigerian time. They should also be given a 10 year ban if these trolls create new threads that incite ethnic violence.

I must commend Mynd44 though for detecting and closing a thread that was created to spread an ethnically inciting and doctored video by a poster here in the politics section in the weeks [February 2023] leading right up to the elections. Mynd closed the thread and warned the guys who were from the Labor party and trolling to desist from spreading FALSEHOOD against Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. The video was doctored to make it seem that Tinubu was against the Northerners in Lagos state back in the day when he was the Governor.

Such insidious posters should get a life ban or a 10-year ban. The only thing is that with free throwaway emails, they have created to register multiple NL accounts and new NL accounts have to be vetted for 48 hours before approval.

Seun take a look at this. The guy first insulted my friend Fahdiga and Fahdiga insulted him back but the ethnic jingoist called Mynd44 banned only Fahdiga while his fellow tribesman is walking free and keep insulting people of a particular tribe. If you are serious about ridding this forum of tribalism then you have to start from Mynd44. See evidence below. This is selective punishment. Seun is it fair? Do justice to this please.
He was banned for 3 days.

This claim is flawed Seun. Drug trafficking news comes in randomly and the fact that one tribe is involved most cannot be conclusively interpreted as a campaign against that tribe.
I can decide to post news of ritual related beheadings but that's no proof I am targeting the tribe, state or region most involved in that type of crime.

Before IPOB became active with executions, the north took the lead and an innocent blogger like NigerCover would have been labelled anti-northern Nigeria blogger. Don't led any tribe hijact your restructuring in its infancy.
You will surely be banned if you don't change your ways. Go through your history and delete every slur before we catch you.

Oga! Dey lie small small we were here as a guest and I recall your write up about her and the reason for letting her go.
Seun ishi resigned publicly, she wasn't sacked like you claimed, I guess both of you had a misunderstanding or differences back then, hence why she blatantly resigned, same way both Sexkillz and Ogagua resigned publicly years ago.

This is great, Seun. It's a step in the right direction.

The next step will be to ban any one that verbally abuses or uses derogatory words on the female gender. We birth. We give lives. We increase humanity. We make and keep homes. So it's very unfair to read some unprintable names they call us, only here in Nairaland! It might look simple, but it's a terrible offense against the female gender and humanity itself.

Some of us are low-keyed business tycoons, some are captains of industries, Managing Directors, Chief Executive Officers. Some are doctors, lawyers/barristers, Engineers, to mention but a few. Some of us are here just for the fun of it, and not because we're jobless.

It hurts me as a woman to see some Nairaland boys (they're not men irrespective of their age, because men are matured and don't usually resort to any kind of violence when handling the female gender), raining abuses on the women folks. Calling us whores and every negative word they can think of.

Please instruct the Mods to also look into those derogatory comments aimed at belittling or body shaming the female gender. And issue long term ban to anyone found culpable of such.

Thank you, Sir.

His signature is tantamount to calling anyone who doesn't agree with him a swine and you allowed him because he advertises under his many monikers. Ijebu man and money ehn.

Well Seun you're right, this is a long overdue steps. It's good you ban them, they will learn their lessons and not throw stones at other ethnic groups anymore. All tribes in every region in Nigeria is a valid Nigerian and we shouldn't try to insult them anyhow. If they do anything wrong, correct them and not insult the whole ethnic group cos of what any of their foolish brothers did
