Afonja2: I will like to address this post to Seun especially and other members of Nairaland management.
As 2023 elections draw close, there is a need to be circumspect in the types and manners of posts you validate and push to the frontpage of the popular platform.
There is no doubt that most of Nairaland moderators are either sympathisers of Peter Obi or they have been bought over. A quick look at the frontpage will easily reveal this.
Any post that tries to mock Bola Tinubu or APC easily finds its way to the frontpage whereas nearly all the posts about Obi on the frontpage are pro-Labour Party man. However, in their attempt to appear balanced, they push one or two pro-Tinubu posts and the same number of anti-Obi posts to the frontpage. No one is fooled by this.
I understand that Nairaland is a business venture and I have started seen Obi adverts on the platform. This however does not invalidate the fact that a news medium should be fair, objective and unbiased on all issues.
We should not also forget that there is Cybercrime Act 2015 which regulates what is obtainable in Nigeria's cyberspace. Except Nairaland treads softly, it may soon run foul of the act.
The idea that Nairaland is a faceless forum does not give it (and members) the liberty to bully or say anything negative about individuals with no consequence thereof.
We are all aware of the steps being taken by Instagram to check the excesses of Gistlovers Blog on their platform. Instagram has deactivated many accounts of Gistlovers in the past, for running foul of their rules. Nairaland can not be an exception.
If indeed you want to regulate your members and check their excesses (faceless or not), there are many new innovate ways you can employ to do this. I will tell you one.
Members currently register with email address. How about reviewing the registration and membership process to include their Phone Numbers? With this, members will realised that they could be traced if occasion demands and will be responsible with what they post on the platform.
Now, let me specifically address the essence of this post.
Kwara State Governor was allegedly booed and chased away by decamping APC members in the state. I find this post unprofessional and distasteful. I am surprised that moderators were quick to push it to the frontpage despite that it was posted with no reliable source.
This guy has been confirmed to be a sympathiser of Peter Obi.
I expect your moderators to check the antecedents of posters before pushing their posts to the frontpage, especially if it contains no reliable link/source. A quick check on this guy's profile will reveal that all his political posts are anti-APC and pro-Obi. Except your moderators are culpable, this simple task should not be a rocket science to them.
2. A quick factcheck on the video revealed that, that event actually took place about four years ago during the 2019 gubernatorial elections.
One can see from the video (see the link below) that those who booed and chased away the then Gubernatorial candidate of APC (now Kwara State Governor) were not decamping APC members but supporters of Kwara State PDP strongman, Bukola Saraki.
I hope Seun and Nairaland will do the needful and avoid running foul of the law. I am aware that government is monitoring the activities of the forum with a view to do the needful.
Let us make hay before it is too late.
Seun
Who booed government officials are always tagged as thugs of political opponent. Very soon, if Nigeria government refuse to change, hunger and suffering will make people to start booing and stoning government looters.

Please kindly share for people to be enlightened and aware of the Osun State governorship Election petition tribunal till the Supreme Court of justice sittings.

I’m expressing my celebration to the governor elect, Senator Ademola Nurudeen Jackson Adeleke on the deserve victories in the poll on July 16th governorship Election. Thank God for the victories.
He should feed the lawyers from the money he has stolen from osun state Treasury. Lawyers must chop. What is he filing for? That he was rigged out? When his party is the one controlling inec?
HIV, Syphilis, Hepatitis B and C. Go to there they use PCR or ELISA techniques to do the HIV, Hepatitis B and C. It's very expensive and reliable than the other methods you have been using. Is your penis bringing out pus or any fluid apart from sperm and urine? Repeat the Urine MCS you did before, maybe the erythromycin you took wasn't effective. Thanks.
In all these, if you are not part of the problems, why not sack the rector of the polytechnic? Playing politics with education and he will pose with his children that graduated from the best universities in foreign countries.
They reported Nigerians consumed millions of fuel, use $1.5B to repair refinery of 60,000 barrel capacity, how much to build new one? Nor be 2023 wey fg dey plan to use #6.72trillions for subsidy?
Under APC: President: Muslim Senate President: Muslim Speaker House of representatives: Muslim Deputy speaker: Muslim Chief of Staff: Muslim APC presidential candidate: Muslim APC vice presidential candidate: Muslim APC party Chairman: Muslim APC is a Muslim party.
The governor that was academia before he became a governor is doing this to his fellow academias? It seems once they sit on that governor sit, their brain start functioning anyhow. Until Nigerians Start to stone politicians and stop singing their praises for personal gains, they wouldn't change. What is the governor using the state allocation and igr to do?
If you vote PDP or APC at the presidential election because of religion, region or ethnicity, I pity you oooo. Tinubu said his is turn. Is it is birthright? Atiku said he will make his cronies and friends rich. Both of them have not said anything what they will do different to solve Nigeria problems. Secondly, they are old. Can't a younger person take over?
PDP is doing excellently. For a sitting governor to be having this results, it shows his first term performance was not encouraging. The best campaign is your performance. You don't need to bring anybody to come campaign for you, just perform and people will see it.
Bash92: Election is still going on, but the process is slow with the BVAS. If the BVAS can't recognise your face or finger print you are not voting. Everywhere calm apart from some disruptions in Ife zone, I don't know whether the disruption is true or not. But If APC want to rig thats where they can, so i will not be surprised if there is violence around that side.
Good morning all. What would have happened if APC, PDP and Labour party presented Christian-Christian Presidential and vice presidential ticket? Do you think the Muslims governors and Muslims will keep quiet and say competent is what matters? Christians need to wake up. If you allow yourself to be deceive in 2023, you have 8years to suffer for it.
