Dear Seun Osewa,

I humbly plead with you to look into this matter. This moniker has been promoting g ay-ism since 2025 and it has become so annoying, but we don't have the power to restrict him and take down all his previous posts on this thread.

At first, we thought it was just a joke and he'll fade away, but it's going to 2 years now and he's still here, healthy and strong, promoting the same stuff.

To him, it's funny and a cruise, but to everyone here, it's not. He has chased almost everyone away.

Kindly look into this, Sir.

What do we want? Restrict his account from commenting on this thread and we'll report his subsequent accounts.

I have lost interest on this thread because of him.

Thank you, as we anticipate your action.

Dominique, Mynd44, etc. Abeg, make una help us, we don taya.

Dont sound naive guys were "bombing" then big time.

Just there were still some sort of moral value back then and no one was "proud" enough to say that they were doing such. Unlike these days where people will boldly admit to it.
I was about to say this. As at 2000 there was already the popular CC number scam. Guys were generating CC numbers for various scams. Abi una think say that song Kelly handsome sang around 2008 Na nonsense?

You be criminal. That time my friends go just off system like say them dey vex. Omo na only me know say my guy Don collect MTCN like $1k that time oh. That's when Late President Yar'adua was ruling
SeeWahala:
Ahhh 🤗 that time we will carry sweater (for those who browse in the cafe with air-conditioning) and wear long trouser (because of mosquito🦟) grin

Back then the sweetest time of night browsing was between 2:30am to 5:am when we who came to the cyber cafe without any money or hope to browse would see some people sleeping at their computer then we will 'jejely' shift them and take over their computer 🖥️ grin

By the time dem wake up we don download over 2 gig of games and applications for our Nokia java and Symbian phones cool

Legendary stuff 😏
