Politics / Finally Leaving Nairaland For Good! by ch3ckm8: 7:08pm On Sep 09, 2023 |
I’ve been a registered member of Nairaland since 2008 and before then, I had been a visitor for over a year. Nairaland used to be a great place to be. There was a time when. Is was kind of prestigious to let people know you’re a Nairalander. It was a place of knowledge; a place you could find someone with the answers to practically anything in life. People got jobs through Nairaland, people were able to travel out of the country without the help of agents through nairaland, people started new businesses, got into farming, transacted businesses with people they hadn’t seen, just to mention a few. Till today the old threads are still a wealth of knowledge and information.
Nairaland was a place where people argued and exchanged ideas in a very civil manner. You hardly see insults or tribal slurs thrown around but today, it’s a totally different case. Practically every thread is derailed with tribalism and insults. Hardly any respect for each other especially given that it’s an anonymous forum and you likely do not know who you’re talking with. Nairaland has never been more politically and tribally divided. Even though this is likely a reflection of the country we have today, but it’s a forum with rules. So I can not see why people will act in any manner they please without any punishment.
I was really happy when I saw a thread by Seun condemning and banning the use of ethnic slurs but that has hardly changed anything. I still can not understand why Seun has allowed Nigeria’s number one forum go down in this manner.
Well I wish you all the best and those of you who are very good at insulting for no reason, you can go ahead and insult me for opening this thread. The good thing is that I will not see it as I’m signing off for the last time.
Good bye and God bless. 16 Likes 3 Shares |
Sports / Re: Who Remembered This Lie? India 99-1 Nigeria. by ch3ckm8: 9:20am On Sep 02, 2023 |
Sheuns: One story I totally believed while growing up.
It was said that the ball changed and shifted shape from stone, to lion to fire before Sam Okwaraji managed to kick it and scored the one goal that Nigeria needed to win a match they were losing by 99-0. How hilarious it is to believe such story. They usually said this match was the reason India was banned from playing football. 2 Likes |
