This is why Biafra should be banned

How can you wish a fellow human being death?

The level of hatred no be here.

Seun has a right to determine the sh*t on his site...Nairaland was not made solely for Biafra. If the Biafra agitation is disturbing to peaceful coexistence of Nigerians, he has a right to put a ban on it. The UN have their website too..let them take the struggle to the UN website..Y'all should free Seun jor

IamLEGEND1:
Exactly!

it's all well and good for everyone to scream 'human rights' but when that right is abused.... then you can either nip it in the bud or just let everything escalate.& personally, I think Seún is just doing his own part.
i Don't even bother commenting in the politics section because most of them Biafra enthusiasts are extremely illogical and they're more concerned about proving to you that the E-hate is real.

The hate is real and it will not let Biafra work. They will have no one else to blame but them selves

I just observed something today. Yoruba's re scared of Biafra.. Rule No. 9 is not acceptable...

TonyeBarcanista:
Let me first apologise for posting this on this section. This is because I have been restricted from posting on politics section due to ban given to me by one of your moderators.

The purpose of this thread is to call the attention of the Founder of Nairaland, Mr Seun Osewa over his decision to 'ban' the promotion of Biafran agitation on Nairaland.com. As most of us know, Rule 9 has been amended by the owner to reflect on the ban. Quoting the rule...


Though I am neither an Igboman nor one of the promoters of Biafra, I couldn't help but express displeasure in the rule because it violates Article 2 of United Nations Resolution on Self Determination (1960), Sections 35, 39 and 42 of the Constitution of Nigeria and also is in conflict with the principle of Social justice.

For avoidance of doubt, article 2 of the UN Resolution on Self-Determination states that...

All peoples have the right to self-determination; by virtue of that right they freely deeir political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.

It clearly states that people should FREELY determine their status and freely pursue it.
The decision of Mr Seun has contravened this paragraph and it is not something we should celebrate.

Furthermore, Nigeria Constitution guarantee some rights to every citizen and group. Some of which include;

1. Right to personal liberty (Section 35): Every person is entitled to personal liberty.

2. Right to freedom of Expression (Section 39): Right to freedom of expression and the press is very fundamental to the sustenance of democracy

3. Right to freedom from discrimination (Section 42): No citizen of Nigeria shall be discriminated against on the basis of his community, ethnic group, place of origin, sex, religion or political opinion

All the aforementioned rights have been taken away by the amended rule 9 of Nairaland.com. Additionally, the decision of Mr Seun also contravenes the principle of social justice. For avoidance of doubt, Social justice is the view that everyone deserves equal economic, political and social rights and opportunities.

While I have been at the receiving end of some pro-Biafrans promoters in terms of insults and abuse, it won't make me to support what I know is against their fundamental right as Nigerians and citizens of the world.

It will be more appropriate for the moderators to take down content by agitators of Biafra that promotes hate, violence and support arson. However, they deserve the right to be expressive. Those of us that believe in a Nigeria will not hesitate to engage promoters of Biafra movement intellectually if it comes to that stage.

Yes, we love promoters of Biafrans and some people don't want the Igbo nation or any other nation to secede but it is inappropriate to shut their voices. We have to uphold the tenet of democracy in promoting our unity.



May God Bless Us All and Bless Nigeria.

...You do realise where your right ends begins at some other persons right abi...now let's talk about the jeopardy of the collective peaceful coexistence of and amongst Nigerians by promoting hate and chaos...Sure,Seun has rights too...to determine what goes up on his site as it is constitutionally binding on all Nairaland users and anything that threatens the territorial integrity of our Nation Nigeria is treasonable felony.

TonyeBarcanista:


Self determination is a right not a privilege. Irrespective of our own opinion, promotion of such right shouldn't be toyed with. Nairaland should be known as the site that allows people express themselves...

Of course, any threat to national security or people's security should be banned.

Well we're not allowed to type vàgina without it being censored,so I'll say we're way past that.

But seriously, The whole Biafra thing has been simmering on here for a while,with just a few quips here and there. Nothing major. See no one cared about what they did because they mostly stuck to benign methodologies.

in the past,the elders will convene with their youths in secret and pump stanzas of hate speech into them to get them revved up for the attack on the rival village.
And we're in the 21st century now,a lot of illegal stuff is now propagated online-Mass murders, suicides, terrorist attacks,you name them.And these info spreads a gazillion times faster.So yeah,I think spreading hate can be counted as a potential trigger for something even bigger. because I'm pretty sure a lot of igbo youths have gotten their heads turned by the make-believe on NL.

Goodboiyy:


I just observed something today. Yoruba's re scared of Biafra.. Rule No. 9 is not acceptable...

loool..scared? over wah? Biafrauud? abeg talk another thing..nobody is scared about anything.. its just unacceptable how they go about the whole thing..cursing ,dissing the Yoruba's mostly when its uncalled for.

I observed Seun tyrannical nature when he ruled against asking for money on Nairaland.. I have met investors in this forum b4, who contacted me for a deal after posting on the appropriate section

MathsChic:

And if they are spewing hate, ban the hate mongers, but not the idea. Everyone is entitled to freedom of expressing an idea.

The idea was never the issue. NL is a forum first and foremost and you wouldn't believe the number of decent threads derailed totally by 'E-warriors'.

So someone comes in,sees the back and forth between the 'warriors' and just leaves....as you would guess,that is bad for business. a lot of people's minds gets affected by what they read online and think what you may of them but they matter in the grand scheme of things.together,they are lots of traffic lost.

so i think the 'idea' has a very massive snowball effect on everything on here than most(all) of us might realize.

thehorlufemi:

But it'll be fun watching them try and then get locked up in the process like Nnamdi Kanu.

Thunder fire y'all that disagreed with the rule. The fact that you have freedom of speech doesn't mean you should use someone's web site to do or say what you want.

The owner said he doesn't want it. If you disagree, go start your own forum and say all the rubbish you wish to say.

This is just like a case of someone using another person's property in order to achieve his selfish desires. , , , like i parked my range rover and then you come and borrow it for your wedding only for you to go and use it for taxi business. But since it is my property, i can decide to use it to park fire wood or tell you you can use it for anything you wish Even if it is packing of poo. , , , you dig?

So, seun has said he doesn't want his site to be used for biafara business. What is difficult in that?

You people just like to make issues out of nothing! That's why we call you #bloodycivilians

This Is not about biafra is about what is right, 2mao seun can wake up and ban another thing happening on this forum.. I have joined the band wagon on here agitating for biafra I only watch and go... so trying to silence some set of people cos of what lai mohammed or top political official told you is wrong... apc has compromised seun that's all

Infringement of the right to self determination by denying any group social justice whether perceived or not is not a right at all but highhandedness, just as the United Nations has no definition for who's a terrorist and who's not, after all another man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.
NL owner got this one all wrong - His action should be condemned by all those who truly believe in democratic principles and not be clouded by overzealous sentiment masked with hate and bigotry.

Seun should dust up some books, read up and stop making Nairaland a mockery.

Its a pity... Am surprised Seun could stoop so low...

I won't be surprised if another rule is updated to ban PDP supporter from critizing the APC.

Yeye dey smell!

1. Please post all threads in the right section, and don't derail threads by posting off topic.

People do this everyday but no ban.

2. Don't abuse, bully, deliberately insult/provoke, fight, or wish harm to Nairaland members OR THEIR TRIBES.

One of the most silly rule here. Nobody gives a sh*t about it and still no ban.

3. Don't threaten, support or DEFEND violent acts against any person, tribe, race, animals, or group (e.g. rape).

Jos lion made front page plus multiple dead snake thread.

4. Discussions of the art of love-making should be restricted to the hidden sexuality section.

Nobody sees this one.

5. Don't post pornographic or disgusting pictures or videos on any section of Nairaland.

I dey laff

6. Don't post adverts or affiliate links outside the areas where adverts are explicitly allowed.

Another I dey laff

7. Don't say, do, or THREATEN to do anything that's detrimental to the security, success, or reputation of Nairaland.

Banning of pro-biafra handle na like it affects nairaland indeed.

8. Don't post false information on Nairaland.

This one happens on a daily basis.

9. Don't use Nairaland for illegal acts, e.g scams, plagiarism, hacking, gay meetings, incitement, promoting Biafra.

Na dis one dey cause wahala sef

10. Don't violate the privacy of any person e.g. by posting personal details/conversations without permission.

Story

11. Don't create distracting posts with: ALL WORDS BOLD / huge font sizes / ALL CAPS / distracting images etc.

Now I dey seriously laff

12. Don't insert signatures into your posts. Instead, add the desired signature to your profile.
13. Please report any post or topic that violates the rules of Nairaland using the (Report) button.
14. Please search the forum before creating a new thread on Nairaland.
15. Don't attempt to post censored words by misspelling them.
16. Don't promote MLM schemes, HYIPS, or other questionable schemes on Nairaland.
18. Don't spam the forum by advertising in the wrong places or posting the same content many times.
19. Don't use alternate accounts to access Nairaland after being banned. If you do, make sure we don't find out.
20. Complaints to or against moderators must be sent privately. Please don't disobey, disrespect, or defame them.
21. Please spell words correctly when you post, and try to use perfect grammar and punctuation.
22. Don't ask Nairaland members for contact details (email, phone, bbpin) or investments.



These rules are so funny. Half of Nairaland handles should be on ban by now.

TonyeBarcanista:


Exactly! Irrespective of our wish, we can't deny people their right to express themselves freely. This is one of the ingredient of togetherness.

I was shocked when I read the updated rule yesterday!

I mean it's totally out of sorts to gag a particular ethnic group, prevent them from speaking out if they feel maligned simply because you own the medium from which their voices are heard!

But then, Mr Seun behaves like the typical CEO who does the bidding of the 'board' with extreme prejudice not giving a damn about what the consumers think...

I think The Social Media Bill is Now in full effect... enforced not by the law but by threats!...

...And I'm curious as to what Lai Mohammed Told em last month; bloggers I mean!
