Seun: This is a completely false and nonsensical lie. I have never appointed a moderator to favour my tribe. My decision to appoint Ikenna351 is based on his passion for the cause. I just decided to give him a chance to do something about it. Daz all.

berem: you love who? ok i understand.

If none of the moderators who are busy clamping down on bigots cannot anchor the debate, someone else should do it. I don't think Jarus will like to continue. WE can't allow such innovation to die a natural death. Personally,i hate debate with passion but for the purpose of enhancing unity on this forum, i totally support it.

eko ilee: How many ibo mods do you need to protect and baby sit ibo posters on NL? Are they the only members around here?

This is just another silly and misguided effort because the situation remains the same until they change their attitude. It's pointless spinning your wheels simply because the usual characters can not stop looking for trouble.

Basically, you can not get any kind of respect from the people you don't respect.. at least not not now because I remember you people used to have it your way all day everyday while we ignore you and also while the same people who are.trying to project you now looked the other way and let it get out of hand because some of us said enough is enough in our own way.

We sit here and watch while you people run wild, while you start threads just to trash Awo and other Yoruba leaders and while seun and his mods looked the other way.

Unless you people change your behavior and quit acting as.if the sun rise and set on your asss, the situation remains theu same, you'll get paid back accordingly regardless of any amount of baby sitting mods they put here to babysit you.



1. They need to stop looking for trouble.

2. They need to stop starting tribal threads.

3. They need to stop their tribal attacks on progress and developments outside their borders or in other peoples region.

4. They need to put their anger, hate and bitterness in check.


Change your ways, that's the only solution.

I agree, others could continue from where Jarus stopped. From what I have gathered here, many people still want the debates to continue. I don't know if Jarus has expressed his disinterest in continuing with what he was doing before. However, if he is no longer interested, I would suggest that Seun or the politics section moderators make(s) a call for volunteers to continue with the debates. People could even vote to select the final forumites to oversee these debates. So long as the process is fair, I am of the opinion that it will be accepted by most people. Please if the debates will reduce the bad blood going on NL amongst our people, I am all for it. My 2kobo. Thanks.

PointB:

[quote]Seun and the MODs do not necessarily need to be involved in the planning or organizing the debate. Anyone with an above average amount of time to spare can take up the responsibility. Knowing the MODs very well, they will give their support in every way possible.

You have a point.

But in all honesty, I think the importance of the debates are fairly overrated, and the number of people that want to see it continued is also overestimated.

Seun: This is a completely false and nonsensical lie. I have never appointed a moderator to favour my tribe. My decision to appoint Ikenna351 is based on his passion for the cause. I just decided to give him a chance to do something about it. Daz all.

PointB: My people,
Let's give Seun the benefit of the doubt, and Ikenna a chance to waive his wand. If (I have my doubts of course) 'tribalism' is routed, let the strongest and most adapted survive!

FreeGlobe: But I would think Seun is tech savvy. If you want tribalism to stop here then automate the moderation instead of appointing more power drunk mods. Fact is most mods contribute to tribalism here by their selective bannings and hiding of comments. By automating the moderation, you put a flag button on comments, if like 6 people flags a comment, the comment is automatically hidden. You can then have one mod to supervise and receive complaints. That's what we do at Yahoo! That way you will have your Jesus piece away from erratic Mods and complaints.


My 2 cents!

alfaman2: Whenever I see yoruba people whinning because Igbo guys are doing better jobs than them, I can't stop laughing. Seun, first started tribalism by making only his tribesmen moderators. They nearly lost him his forum. Now he is employing Igbo people because if he wants his business to succeed, he has no other option.

Desola:

You see now? When we start now, you lot would start crying foul.

Be seriously warned now, or else!

Why do you people like looking for trouble so?

Biggyd2:

Your idea is good but remember that some people have multiple IDs. What if someone with different IDs keeps using same to get the required number? Or can the mods determine how many monikers a poster uses?

Seun: This is a completely false and nonsensical lie. I have never appointed a moderator to favour my tribe. My decision to appoint Ikenna351 is based on his passion for the cause. I just decided to give him a chance to do something about it. Daz all.

They said a man's worst enemies are the people in his own household
It is so true
Good thing you are are not allowing a bunch of these loud mouthed eediots that share the same tribal leaning with you influence you
Even a fool can see this thread is senseless
Someone is afraid of a mod for being Igbo?
Good that you can stand your ground like in the Achebe hall of shame thread of last December and ask them to go and hang
Your earned a lot of respect there
It is after all your website and you have a duty not to appear to insult a section of your readers and supporters
The most they can do is call you names and threaten to leave( but never do)
Like anyone would miss their posts

If Ikenna will help you bring sanity,by all means carry on
People will just have to deal with it
Cheap blackmail is for cowards,don't give them a chance

OAM4J: Ladies and Gentlemen of Politics Section,

I think we have had enough debate on the new moderator. Ikenna351 has not made any new rule. He has only advised people to stick to using Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa on NL just like we have done in the past. He has not and he is not banning anyone for using Ibo, Yooba or Yoruba etc for now.

Ikenna351 is here to join the fight in putting an end to tribal attacks which am sure many of you want. Even if some of you dont believe in that mission, please let him do his job and let the attack stop. So far he has not done anything outside the rules of Nairaland.

So I plead with you all to let us rest the matter and focus on discussing Nigerian politics. For instance, Boko haram has rejected amnesty even before it is offered, what is now the way forward to our security challenges?

Thank you all.
