Sequel to a new mod being imposed on us, there is a need to crosscheck to know the kind of person he is and what he stands for. Below are some opinions of few Nlers. Am quite sure he has positive reviews also, i enjoy reading his comments on the three lions however nothing more than that.

I may not neccessarily agree with them initially but the coming on board of Ikenna to this section seems to sway my mind. considering the way he has started so far, i have no option but to agree. i dont think its a good idea bringing him on board here.

We politics members were recently battered and had our hearts shattered with the coming on board of Afam the bigot and the edging out of Jarus, a man of ideas and now this Indeed Seun has no good intents for us. We will continue to resist. As we succeded as regards Afam so we will for Ikenna. May the force be on us all.

Feel free to express ur opinion also.

Ikenna351: @ Trac,

nony30 was banned in another thread in car talk somedays ago for calling Yoruba people "Yoruba". He wasnt the only one banned in that thread for insulting another tribe. Am an Igbo, but i wont stand anyone insulting another tribe in car talk.


Ikenna.

Trac:

Ikenna, you are arrogant. Humble yourself. Sadly, you've exposed yourself and you are not teachable. As the administrator, you should be a lot cordial; this isn't so: leaving room for much to be desired. Look at the topic sentence, follow the trail and blasphemy is found; because of snob-appeal. -- because of pride, your folly is exposed and you don't know. You respect no one; you don't respect GOD!

Go ahead with the insults and threaten to ban as you've done to others. I have nothing against you and you're cool with me. There is no hate coming from me; that's who I am.

I'm pulling the "brakes" here. Anything you want to do is up to you (insults, theoretical-google, etc).


All the very best:

ken43: hello @ Trac,I think ‎u should just ignore the arrogant(know Į̸̸̨ƭ all fellow called ikenna)he actually banned me in dis section for •̸№ good reason @ all just τ̲̅ȍ keep my word against his arrogance out of the way.initially he labelled the thread "Silly things non car enthusiasts say",I wonder Y he changed the topic?by d way I'm Nony30 and even in my absence here the message of ur arrogance keeps coming τ̲̅ȍ ‎u Ikenna.@ Trac welldone!!

gramci: he's here to frustrate bigots

President Yar Adua’s inaugural speech, our data, was downloaded from the internet on www.nairaland.com. It is titled “The challenge is great, the goal is now”. The speech is written in twenty three (23) paragraphs, from which we have identified only twenty (20) sample utterances. This is because the selected sentences have at least one or more speech act forms for analysis. Our analyses in the following sections are based on the pragmatic tools
reviewed above.

Although, the new scheme was later put in abeyance due to politico - Economic and juridical reasons, Nigerians and other observers continue to express their views on both the announcement and suspension of the new reform for the naira. It suffice to state that a private dedicated website for the proposed scheme, www.nairaland.com, has in less than three month since the pronouncement recorded over 8836 views. Similar to this are found in other electronic and print fora.

Based on these assumptions, this study focuses on race and ethnicity and their sociolinguistic implications on the web forum nairaland.com, a discussion platform and place of interaction for Nigerian locals, first- and second-generation Nigerian emigrants, as well as participants with other ethnic backgrounds. A corpus based on data from Nairaland, with 17 million tokens and a time span of four years, allows for qualitative and quantitative explorations of racialized online discourse, organized around the following questions

Osewa (2005) the owner of Nairaland.com recently asked “Is it likely that with the way our
country is going -parents teaching their kids less of their origin, roots and language, that most of our
languages would become extinct with time?”

In an entry on a forum on the Nigerian site with the topic: ‘Have you ever denied your country?’:I guesssed i've not had the opportunity to. Nigeria has a very bad image outside; thanks to the 419ers, fraudsters, ritualists and our leaders who disgrace us all. Most people who travel with a nigerian passport are looked down upon, the innocent ones su
ffer for this. Opening a bank account abroad using a Nigerian passport is very difficult. Quite a number of Nigerians now own Ghanaian passports If u ever find yourself abroad, be very careful of the Nigerians you meet. They could put u in trouble (emphasis mine) 161

berem: What annoys me most is that the owner of this forum, Seun Osewa, will not say a damn thing!

Jakumo: To answer the question posed earlier here, Ikenna is a VERY effective and productive moderator, for he has, for the first time that I can recall, eliminated all that utterly boring and repetitive tribalistic venom that polluted the Nairaland forum for far too long already.

Take a chainsaw to them tribal hate mongering swamp-monkeys, Ikenna, for you are doing what NO other Nairaland forum moderator has ever tried to do, namely to filter out the crap, so as to allow intelligent discourse to reign supreme, as it should.

Seun:
I don't believe in talking. I believe in listening and acting. So your opinions are very important to me. I'm watching this thread.

OMO IBO: Rotflmao. . .
So I woke up this morning. Did my early morning ritual. . .a bit of nairalanding!

Tried responding to the thrrad created by Ikenna but noticed it was locked.

Funny thing is, it is the 'self proclaimed intellectuals' who are kicking against simple instructions such as:

No more tribalism
Igbo is igbo
Yoruba is yoruba
Ojukwu is ojukwu
Awolowo is Awolowo
Achebe is Achebe
. . . I mean how complex is the above?

While I'm in total support of the new MODS position I fear he'll tire out over time.

In the meantime, you 'intellectuals sorry cry babies' crack me up. I tell ya.

gramci: he's here to frustrate bigots

wesley80: @OP, we know say e don tey wey u dey mumu but I can't help but wonder what the point of this thread is. Please show me one MOD that has'nt come under scathing criticisms in this entire forum - I'm waiting. Can you compare those criticisms with any of those suffered by the likes of OMAJE, Afam or even Jarus? when juxtaposed, these ones actually sound like compliments so I ask again, what's your point? Ok, it's you dey call Demdemoron!

Seun:
I don't believe in talking. I believe in listening and acting. So your opinions are very important to me. I'm watching this thread.

ilugunboy: We have seen his type before......until we get another mod in the mold of Jarus ( people with forward looking ideas ), this kneel-jerk reactions to activities in politics section won't go away soon.

We were all here when this forum started ...those that started communication by only insults of other tribes but are now shouting victimization. .

We are watching ....one thing is for sure, we know those of us that want this community to grow, want the best for it, and those that want it downfall so that they can move en-masse to go to their own forum.

I pray Seun can see clearly.

In the meantime ..Ikenna...pls tone down on the arrogance.

175: See dem. . .tribal bigots! Dey are all jittery n afriad. Una game is up.

donroxy:

Also,introduce some kinda debates that's gonna promote harmony on Nairaland.....where peeps will have common agenda not Ethnocentric agenda........just like JARUS did.....

Demdem:


Bans cant stop bigots, afam is a case study.

berem: you and Afam every time. won't you give him breathing space? haba!

Probabbly because i love him and besides his experiences is there for all to learn from.
