Mustay: +100 The whole thing started because of Davidylan vs Olabowale. I think we should go back to Seun's initial decision and ban all discussions of religion/atheism on the forum. 1 Like |

sayso: Seun Clear suggestion,nope they cant close that section .... personally have learnt a lot of things on that thread and people's ability to express themselves, especially from atheists.... but i think the best gesture will be to include the christians 17. Don't post anything that could be considered offensive to Islam and christianity, especially in the remove the goddamn islamic section that non muslim can't participate in ... or better still create a section for both muslims and christians... put same strict rule ... then leave religion section for everyone to express their views ... that should do justice to that 1 Like |

@SuperAdmin Seun, so far, the rules are necessary, but I must comment on a few... Looks like number 17 has been out-rightly removed. I would have preferred it were modified though, to suit all religions. That's by-the-way. Rule 14, IMO, is the most violated rule on NL, I wonder how this can be enforced... and finally, the last clause of Rule 19, I love it Regards, H |

Is it only English that's spoken/written in Nigeria? So you mean to tell me that if I decide to write mainly in pidgin English or my native tongue, my comments ain’t welcomed here? Another ridiculous rule and I think you need to get a grip…not everyone can speak/write English eloquently; hence, you make amends when such is encountered…… Seun: 21. Please post in proper English and spell your words correctly. |
Re: Concerning The Controversial "New" Rules Of Nairaland by Seun(m): 10:31am On May 09, 2013 |
I would like to correct some misconceptions. Most moderators don't support rule 17. We had an extensive debate during which most of them opposed it but were not able to convince me that we could remove or generalize the rule without exposing the forum to a security risk or reducing your freedom of speech. Also, I am not a muslim. I am not even pro-muslim. This rule was created to save Christian lives and not to benefit muslims. 1 Like 1 Share |

re – why Seun may forbid the discussion of islam on Nairaland The good and bad thing about the internet is that a user can just be anybody, anytime and anywhere. This ‘user’ can decide to be a ‘he’, ‘she’ or whatever, since no one sees the typist behind the computer screen. The internet is definitely the definition of the freedom of speech. As the premier, prime-time, first and foremost online meeting place for Nigerians all around the world, ‘Nairaland‘ is not a stranger to the average internet user – especially in Nigeria. Discussions on various issues all litter the place and its really a Nairaland. I myself just manage to keep up, catch up and read through various discussions etc., and at the end of it all, i’m still far away from the latest gists while I burst into mode: laugh, at least to make my day. The latest discussion, one that I read and which bugged my head is from Mr. Nairaland himself, titled: Why I may forbid the discussion of Islam on Nairaland. The question soon crossed my mind whether our brother Seun would be needing a body guard. I believe it hasn’t come to this yet, but maybe……… Looks as if he received some emails that stung and so he had to speak out, at least for his own safety and for the information of all: On one hand, we have the popular and cantankerous Christians that take delight in speaking against Islam and will continue to do so even though I keep banning them. On the other hand, we have muslims who believe I am personally culpable even though I did not make those posts because I am the only person whose name is associated with this website. I am not willing to bear the risk of "fatwa", so by the end of this week it will be an offense to talk about Islam on Nairaland. I do not have the time to go through your posts one by one. Even if I had the time, how would I know what is offensive and what is not offensive to these people? I’m not a Muslim (neither am I a Christian) so I cannot judge what is offensive (or not). That is why it will soon be a terminal offense to talk about Islam on Nairaland. Thanks for understanding. Quote from: Usman Muhammad A advice for you I really appreciate your dedication and skills in designing this website. I write not to praise your exceptional skills but to advice you on just one thing that will inevitable come to you. By birth a Muslim is emotionally reactive to his religion, Nigeria Muslim on the other hand are slightly explosive to any thing they consider blasphemy to Islam and our noble Prophet. Seun, I respectably urge you to have firm control of your web site. The forum under religion is embodied with lots of abusive, offensive and incisive phrase against Islam. Phrase that is capable of igniting a serious tension and a threat to your own life. I am a Muslim, a moderate Muslim you may say, but I can tell the reaction and counter reaction of an extremist who can easily be offended by contents of your web site. The authors may not be known, but you as the founder, would be easily branded as an abettor and a party to the offence. What I am saying in effect is that, you should edit, delete and choose topics posted on the forum you consider offensive. Imagine phrase calling Prophet Muhammad “evil” “stupid”. No! No!! No!!! Osewa, you should act quickly, or else one day, a fatwa would be issued for you, and then you will be a celebrity under serious police protection. Then you can as well spend your [salary] undercover. These guys that post this thing are trying to destroy what you have suffered to build. Quote from: Seun Osewa Hello Muhammad, Why not mention the specific threads you want me to remove? How am I to know which threads you find offensive if you do not name them one by one so I can remove them? Regards, Seun Osewa. Its not a new story that Nigerians are willing to go any length when it comes to religion. From North to South, the testimonies abound. I remember, before, I enjoyed reading through any religious headed post I saw, but for some time now, I can say I have abstained. I have abstained because some people just say anything under the sun to back up their own idea/s(right or wrong) to crucify whoever/whatever they wish to speak against. I’m like, God must be a very patient God. If left to these trash- talkers alone, a few slaps on their faces would definitely allow us to know who has said what on Nairaland. abi? I believe that everybody has a right to his own opinion, and isn’t it right enough that people learn to respect the opinion of others while they stick to their own? Its not by force to accept your opinion, but why condemn me – why condemn my person? The bashing, insults etc., kinda spoil the whole religious soup on Nairaland, and its a pity - if these talkers are the youth on which the reins of Nigeria’s future hangs. Some of them might end up becoming religious ministers themselves, yet they can’t see where the lines of right and wrong are crossed – especially in matters of words and thought. There is a difference between trying to convince and trying to condemn. Majority of Nairaland talkers, especially on religious issues(between Christianity and the Muslim faith) is condemnation back and forth. This same picture cuts across to the political circle. If we can’t agree up to a point on the religious bend, how much more politics. |

First of all, you have denied Christians the opportunity to have their own space just like 'Islam for Muslims' (even though they have been requesting for it), now its rule 17? Really? Common, do what's right. Take it down or include all religions. We don't need to be biased. |
Re: Concerning The Controversial "New" Rules Of Nairaland by eiete(f): 10:36am On May 09, 2013 |
Seun: I would like to correct some misconceptions. Lol! You could have fooled us. If you were trying to 'save Christian lives' as you say, you shouldn't have limited Rule 17 to Muslims only. |

Seun: I would like to correct some misconceptions. If u stick to ur rule, there will always be chaos . . . If u ammend it, there will be chaos . . . If u delete it, there will be chaos. HOWEVER, if u delete the RELIGION section entirely, ur headache will cease. Its better dat section is removed so no-one will be hurt for any reason. Nuttn will be written against anyone or any religion. 1 Like |

YOU ALL ARE JUST WASTING YOUR TIME! Its obvious SEUN isn't going to remove Rule 17 because d only language d World understand & listen to is violent by every means possible. And that's why Islam has been getting all it want around the world by all violent means. When they tell you Islam will dominate the World, you guys think its a joke? Its happening everyday by every means possible _ through taqqiya, Jihad/terrorism, threats etc and people are yielding to it because of fear of death and distruction, just as Seun has yielded to it too. It will surely continue to happen because they alwz carry out their threat hence out of fear people alwz bow to their demand. The truth is Seun will never extend the rule to any other Religion because their's no one threatening him unlike d PEACEFUL RELIGION. So please, let's stop whinning because he isn't changing unless he's compelled. My 2 cent! |

Seun: I would like to correct some misconceptions. Save lives?? What people do outside the forum is not your responsibility. You are not superman that saves lives. Like someone said, when it comes to religion, you either balance it or not get involved? Where are the pro-rule 17 mods now? You getting all the stick and no one to back you up? Exclude it all-together, that some nutter decîdes to take a life is their responsibility and that of the law enforcement. Never negotiate with terrorists, they are not reasonable. 2 Likes |
