Last time I checked, this was a forum, not a church.
You want to mingle exclusively with christians, go to church.
You are upset that people do not respect your delusion, tough.
It you are so thin skinned, do not come here.

@odunnu,
Christians are saved to be the Light and Salt of Nigeria nairaland. Can you imagine what would have remained like, what islamic Boko Haram would have done to Nigeria, if there were no christians. Remember the defunct Soviet Union, China, East Germany, etc. If you create christianland, many christians will still remain at nairaland, and continue to declare, and proclaim, that JESUS IS LORD, until the knees of Logic Mind, et al, bow, and the tongues of atheists confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Its a exciting to be Nigerian. H A L E U I A A A A A A.

kandiikane: This is like a cat and mouse game. "Because muslim have section we should have it too?" You are meant to be big men and women (except Goldie) and you are here crying over spilt milk.

The Islamic. Section is needed for many because Islam is a box and you have to stay within its 4 walls(or 5pillars if we want to go deep) with strict guidelines. There are many who don't have much access to islam and being a muslim so they come on here to learn.


Islam is a very different religion to christianity and much stricter. There are no leeways whereas in christianity you are allowed to do things you were denied previous. Basicallyy, anything you feel like.

We cannot do so, we follow it by the book from beginning to end we don't leave it to interpretation. As you can see the Qu'ran is in arabic and that is not our language and for us that don't have arabic schools where we are, we need the section. By having the section, we get help in our everyday lives. For those living in obodo oyinbo, if a christian wants help they have churches in every street corner but with mosques, you have like 1 in every 200 street corner. We hardly have access to mosques to learn.
Just recently I learnt that I should not be having my 9p interest on my savings so imagine if it was not for the section I would have continued living in yet another sin.
I hope you see where I am going with this?

So please growup! Only my unborn 6year old would whine and moan over spilt milk.


@lastpage, that link you posted is not the Islam I know and being brought up with.

My body still crawls from watching that. I guess the guy is a martyr, no?

Re: Christianity For Christians. by deols(f): 1:22pm On Jun 11, 2012
matter of factly, there isnt much a christians only section would achieve.

Well, maybe except for catholics taking the full reins. I'd really want a catholic mod for who else would be deserving of taking the lead. They appear to be practicing christianity in its purest form.

dekung: While it is true that there is no christian section on NL, I believe there is a thread opened for them to air their Godly view. The thread is always on front page and I dont think I have ever visited that thread like I have never visited the Islamic thread. Talking about people that are insultive and uncouth, I think honour should be given to two people Davidylan and Vedaxcool. Davidylan cannot make a sentence without issuing at least 3 insulting words and aam not sure MODs have ever banned, warned or deleted any of his posts. Logicboy challenged Jesoul on this and am surprised she hasnt responded. In my opinion I think the forum should be merged into a single forum. Because once Seun starts creating section then there would be need for subsection just like Lagosshia is asking for different sub sections for Suni, shia etc. Christian to would start requesting baptist section, anglical section, Daystar section etc
Hi Dekung, in response to that, lemme first say when you become a mod, you'll quickly understand that you have to pick your spots and not spend time replying to every accusation or else you'll find yourself uneccesarily on the defensive for no good reason. But I realize others are probably curious too so let me reply that...

In the yrs I've been modding I have banned 3, at the most 4 people from this section, and within the last year only 1 person. In other words, bans are my last resort as I've found that 99% of posters respond positively when I send them a caution or kindly ask them to refrain (although I guess posters will prefer the mods be more strict from here on). David will be the first to tell you he can do better with his behavior, but everytime I've come across him (and he hasn't even posted in this section for a while unless I'm mistaken), he has apologised and the peace was restored to the thread. And this goes for not just David, this is how I treat everyone and a lot of the time both parties are guilty of insulting each other. Logicboy is complaining here, but he is the poster I receive the most complaints about most recently, I wonder if he's curious as to why he hasn't be banned ever?

So Dekung there you have it. Cheers brother.

Odunnu,
my sister thanks. I appreciate the vote of confidence. You're a mod so you understand the difficulties.

And @all Christians in general,
I appeal to you all to not make Seun's life any more difficult. It may not be 'fair' not to have 'our' own section but let us rise above that and show we can be tolerant even when we're being abused. Open christian only topics (and be sure to specify that in the title) and the mods will make sure it is free from non-christian interference. If it is gate-crashed, don't fall into a fighting match or war of words, report on the mod thread and we will ban the offender.

And likewise do not incite the atheists into insulting you. A lot of the time some christians will open threads aimed at irking atheists and then complain when they arrive and fire back. Don't expect the mods to 'intervene on your behalf' when you started the fight.

This section can accomodate all of us if we respect one another, refrain from incendiary comments and behave like the adults we all claim to be. I'm a christian, and many of the atheists/agnostics etc in this section are good friends of mine & I respect a lot. Don't let the empty barrels making the most noise drown out the many quality posters we have in the section. I believe with a little understanding and a lot of patience we can all peacefully co-exist. Thank you all & cheers.

Are you mixing me up with your Nairaland husband "Logic Mind". There is no possible way, I could be the most complained about poster. I'm not a saint but I cant be that bad?


As for you Jesoul, you just showed what is wrong with christianity with its "heaven and forgiveness" doctrine. So, Davidylan insults then apologises and then insults again in a never ending loop? Jesoul are you changing your name to Jesus because the theory is that Jesus is the guy that forgives always?



Even if I am the most complained about guy on Nairaland, it doesnt change the fact that Davidylan is a verbal thug. Why do we get unequal treatment? Why is Logicboy more notorious than Davidylan if not for a christian bias?


I dont have a problem with your moderation most of the time. My only problem is that you cant see that you will always have a bias as a christian- a christian bias. Is it not mostly christians that complain about me? Half of the complaints would be as a result of debunking their threads- not insults.

Again, don't selectively read my posts. I treat ALL posters in this section with the same lenient hand. And as I said David hasn't been a regular poster in this section for a while so I'm not sure why he's your main complaint despite his absence. I respond when I see a problem and I've only seen one with David once this past yr - I'm not on every single thread to know when posters go off line, its up to you to complain and you have never officiallyu complained about David on the mod thread (unless I'm wrong & I missed it). Please provide evidence where I've seen him misbehave and looked the other way. All these accusations will not suffice for wiser minds.

I'm a human being and so therefore I WILL be susceptible to be biased - that is why this section has a christian mod, an atheist mod, a muslim mod (mukina) and an neutral mod (Seun) - so are we all partial to only christians?

I've said my piece and will leave it at that.

That was 2008. Read about it here-http://naijatechtalk./2008/02/06/re-why-seun-may-forbid-the-discussion-of-islam-on-nairaland/

Odunnu: Wow! Wow! Wow! Thanx code. Its eyeopening. So instead of 'forbiding the discussion on Islam' like he said, he decided to give them a 'joint'. Now I represent Christians here and asking nicely, i'm not threatning nobody but I do hope its attended to.

You See!

This is the problem with this country......where everything is defined by "Religion" but NOTHING GOOD is done by the Practitioners of same Religion!
Why should Seun's life be threatened by any Muslim?
Why are MUSLIMS so prone to violence and so eager to use it?
Why must he be blackmailed into creating a Muslim Section?
How are we supposed to live together, if we keep threatening each other?
.....And why cant Seun "stand his ground", if his conscience bears witness to him, that he is right in not allowing Religious/Islamic Fanaticism?

There lies the problem of this country; Even corruption started from Religion: when Prophets refuse to say/preach the truth and stand by it.

Instead of everyone using their strength and energy to improve "real things" and help their fellow mwn, they are squabbling of "I am a Muslim/Christian and my religion is better"!

Feck-off and forget the name of your religion. PRACTICE SPIRITUALITY AND DO WHAT IS GOOD.[/b

Your religion SHOULD BE IN YOUR HEART......that is where "good or evil" resides!

Too many dumb and ignorant people around here!

1) Davidylan's absence for some weeks is irrelevant. It doesnt change his attitude and the blind eye turned to his insults

2) You are lenient towards everyone, no doubt. This is what I like about you. However, you are more lenient towards the christians. Remember the thread about me that claimed that I was a raped altar boy? Where were the Mods then? Did I have to complain? It was there for days and getting pages of comments. No one did anything. Not one person stopped and thought about the insult and cyberbullying that thread represented. Dont you love christians? It was until I conplained

Did anyone get banned? Tell me, what has Logic Mind done that is worse than that? Logic Mind has been banned by you.

Is NAIRALAND a Religious FORUM? Or you mean to have a Christian section separately and far away from NAIRALAND?

As a believer, showing concern and seeking for a media to voice out your faith or preach your religion is acceptable.
