₦airaland Forum

For about five years I have been a member of this esteemed community of Nigerians. But one thing has kept me baffled: why must we always tribalise or insult people?
Every thread either turns to insult or tribal quarrel. Sometime last week, thread was opened on Cowbell Mathematics competition and rather congratulate the pupils and wish them well, some people were raising tribal concerns and even alledging fraud.
From there insults started. This isn't the first or the last. It is just an example
It is really sad as we ought to be the wind of change and let our thoughts be pure.
To the pure all things are pure.
It is a step forward to a better Nigeria
It is a bad trend we need to curb. SHALOM

...

For instance, someone will soon insult you, or tribalise this thread


It's a trend that cannot be stopped my dear, it's that bad. NL is a forum of different kinds of people



You just have to live with it, i'm afraid

Tribalism is a bad thing.
On this forum, it's a disease.

It is because of the myopic and naive nature of some individuals, who cannot see that man is not defined by race or colour, but by how much he contributes to the society.

They base their judgements on unnecessary emotions and sentiments, instead of values, that is why they dont always get results.
They have limited themselves to what they know, because they refuse to go in search of knowledge and free themselves from this rot.

Until they break away from the shackles of tribal bigotry, development would be an elusive thing.

It's quite pathetic really. It seems to be worse now.
