Dear Nairalanders,
I write this with profound and unrivalled
respect to the collective intelligence of ladies
and gentlemen on this forum. I am in the know
that this message will trigger mixed reactions.
However, the basis of putting this forward lies
in good faith. No intention to insult the person
of anybody, but I do hold that it is almost
always impossible, for a certain class of people
to draw unfair inferences, all in a bid to execute
and exhibit their sinister penchant for attacking
the brain behind a piece of this kind. Even
though I am not configured to engage in
mudslinging, still, let me be quick to apologise
for whatever inference you saw as insulting on
your person. If you still think that it does not
do, please utilise the comment box to vent your
anger. Perhaps, it would be a conviction of the
issues I am about to address.
Without prejudice, I must make a clean bosom
of the fact that people with incredible and
intimidating intellectual status abound on this
platform. Though, I am not in the habit of self-
judgement, but again, on a few occasions, I
read posts and comments here that made me
kowtow for certain individuals. Permit me to
mention a few names: Barcanista,
Carefreewannabe, Mynd and others who I may
not need to mention. As a matter of fact, I had
to send personal messages to some to express
that their posts brought ripples of hope, even
in this porous society we found ourselves.
Without working myself to a white flame on the
issues, let me bring forth my concerns. In
recent time, this forum has gone through a
recycling process — from a forum of convincing
news item, mentally daring articles, worthwhile
issues and issues-based opinion to a den of not
well thought out opinions, news item bereft of
knowledge and launching of literal missiles.
Easy, I am neither against items that are
socially appealing nor am I aggrieved by those
jokes of Airforce1 and the host of others. I am
only wondering what Tonto Dikeh’s new tattoo
and Tiwa Savage’s outfit to an event has added
to any unprejudiced member of this forum.
For me and other average persons — from
Nigeria to Algeria, Azerbaijan to Afghanistan,
Cuba to Czech, Vatican to Saudi Arabia and
even Mecca to Jerusalem, we are the reflection
of our thoughts and actions. Those thoughts
that morphed into actions grew from what we
were taught, what we read, what we
experienced and what we believe. Obviously,
Nairaland has the ability to influence in these
lines. Unfortunately, most of the content
members and guests feed on in recent times
cannot make a good father, a distinguished
lover, a diplomat, a gentleman or even a good
leader. I observed with enthralled
responsiveness how this same forum made a
mockery of Mr. President when he misplaced
fact that ‘stealing is no corruption.’ Come on! If
this trend continues, this forum cannot
produce a better leader if such to-be leader
reads and digests every content here.
For those in the tradition of mounting Seun’s
platform to tell us ’10 ways to know a lady is a
LovePeddler,’ ‘5 ways to know a guy is cheating
on
you,’ ‘how to spot a lady desperate for a
boyfriend’ and the laughable plethora of topics
in that line, does it ever occur to you that your
life is not an apt litmus test for that of
thousands on this forum? Sadly, young ladies
and gentleman read that and believe it. They
go back and adjudged their lovers as cheats,
whores, broke and hopeless. Common issues
that should be resolved to make a state of affair
with the other party better, self-acclaimed
logicians and experts with hunger for relevance
make a big deal out of it. Yet, we leave this
societal time bomb to make a mockery of our
leaders. Among other stages, getting tailored to
suit the daunting task of being the man or
woman also requires knowing what is up on
forums like this. Forget that Seun runs here,
anything that will make the front page comes
from the contribution of members.

That is ur own opinion

the level of joblessness and half bakedness here is simply unparalleled, I have not seen it anywhere else.
