₦airaland Forum

Dear Mr Oluwaseun Osewa,

I joined Nairaland in 2008 and that makes me a fairly old member. Before I joined this forum, I have been a guest since the forum was created in 2005! It was the fun, intelligence, enlightment, etc that were visibly seen on this forum that eventually made me to register at the time I registered!

Today, what do I see? Tribalistic and ethnic threads make front page within minutes they are created! Most of these threads are usually negative of the Igbo race!!! Does it mean NL is now a platform to paint a particular ethnic group in bad light? Is this the purpose of creating this forum? What are the mods doing about this ugly development? Some empty and unelightened folks make ethnic, tribal and derogatory comments, yet they don't place bans on them!

Mr Oluwaseun Osewa, if you and your mods feel that Nairaland should be a place where tribalism should thrive, where ethnic, racial and tribal threads should be making front page without these threads being locked or deleted, where people freely make tribal comments glaringly without anything being done, then I see no reason why there should be RULES guiding members!!!

I think you, Mr Oluwaseun Osewa and your mods, should do something about this because it is surely not boosting the image of your forum. Instead, it is spoiling the image of Nairaland!!! You can wipe off this mess by deleting any thread that paints another ethnic group in bad light or any threads that promotes ethnic discrimination!!! Creators of such threads should also be given an indefinite ban!

Thank you.

k. you have a point though. it's getting alarming

The tribial threads genrates traffic and it is good for business

You just became a member last year. I am sure you know nothing about how this forum was some 8 to 9 years ago!

Very worrisome trend indeed.
