Bitcoin Forum

I have observed some posts by Nigerians in this forum which, in my opinion, are too sensitive to be posted for non-Nigerians to see. One of such posts is this: Bad government instigate more crime (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5549071.msg65560080#msg65560080)

I understand that we, as Nigerians, have our challenges as a country and we also have our bad sides as well, but believe me when I say this: corruption and scams are not only peculiar to Nigeria.

We should consider the implications of certain topics we raise about us on this space. The world already holds unjustifiable stereotypes about us as Nigerians, thinking we are all scammers. Discussions like this coming from us will further validate their negative perception about us. You can imagine if the forum members stop dealing with Nigerians because of one scam story from a bad egg.

Let's not spoil the collective reputation of Nigerians in this forum with what we post or do.

Let's not wash our dirty linen in public.

Some topics should be limited to the Nigerian local board.

Good topic, during the past few months way I been dey post for the politics and society board, I been dey see many things way no suppose dey there because them dey more sensitive for others to see and for this white people to dey see am, e go just make us look like say all the people for inside Nigeria na bad people. So e go good if we no post some kind of this for the general boards or instead no post am at all.

And I go also suggest say if person won post any sensitive thing for the Nigerian board, e go better to use pidgin take talk am because no be only us dey come here, besides self here nah local board and I dey sure say pidgin no dey banned because all of us dey speak am everyday.

The other board dey speak there own languages, even Indians we Hindi and English nah their major languages sef dey mostly use Hindi for their discussions and if we go there we no fit read watin Dem dey talk because na their major language them dey use pass but when them come here 90% of waytin we dey discuss them go understand wella.

That post talked about someone who scammed Donald Trump and how the government can create opportunities for young people in Nigeria to look away from scam. I don’t think that post mean that all Nigerian youth are scammers.
Nigeria is not Countries like North Korea where the protect everything happening in their country from the media. Even if we don’t talk about these things any one from any country can easily get this types of information by just searching. Every country has there good and dark sides and dark sides have seen topics about even controversies of the US government on the forum. There is nothing wrong when we discuss a true story from our country here people can learn from it.

Will the post made in Politics & Society bring Nigerian government to manifest and aid the youths?

The thread truly seems like sabotage to the local board and Nigeria, see it that way or leave it.

All what OP addressed won't be of help resolving our problems in the country.

There is not deriving from the topic, what outsiders here can be used to target and describe Nigerians.

---

I reserve more comment on this one from Word Bomb, after what he did, still went ahead to ask why his post was deleted in Meta section.

Is the Nigerian government here in this forum? What problem has the post solved so far? To even think of it, that information was false, Trump was never scammed by a Nigerian. I am not suprised, we are always quick in spreading bad news.

My own be say our reputation go dey at stake if we continue to dey rubbish our people for this forum.

My own problem with Nigerians na the fact say them like to use others buy favour.

E no just stop to the use others get favours e don reach to try dey use our government to get favour make e be like other countries better pass us, make the forum people dey pity us or try to wash ourselves clean while staining others.

Na why you see all those topics there, another thing be say people wey dey enter the forum no get formal orientation na just to post anything dem see for the forum, dem dey for get the name of the forum say na bitcoin forum not Nigerians forum.

Even as we dey post some kyn sensitive information for our local board here, E go make sense make we use our local Naija pidgin take write am, cos like we know, some non-locals dey frequently visit this our local board to know wetin dey sup for this our local board, and if those kyn sensitive information dey for wetin them fit read, them go still understand. So even if no be all the time, at least sometimes when we wan post some kyn sensitive information, E good make e be say Na only use dey understand am.

E go make sense say this your post you write am for pidgin but thats by the way though.

The tin i done observe be say, na newbies they most do this thing, if at all the local board get place to discuss polictis and society mata so why carry they go the general board. E no get any countri wey their own better, las las everywhere corruption and insecurities they. So, na solid mata your drag out here. And the warning make e go directly to anyone wey go intend to invite new person join this forum, to carefully give them this specific orientation.

Internet is a free space for everyone to air their opinion as long as they have data and network. Unfortunately, there are consequences for every action in this space but many people no dey realise that consequences side. Sincerely speaking, it pains me whenever I come across posts like that, not only in this forum but even in other platforms because it seems as if Nigeria is the headquarters of every crime and scam. There are some discussions that are not even worthy to be brought here but some of our people are so naive to notice the bad side and implications of it.


Forget about that format bro. You never see the likes of 1mieu and others dey nack pidgin for this our local board before?  ;D e go shock you say everything we dey discuss here dey understand to everyone who is interested in knowing wetin dey sup here. The best way to go about this na to keep such discussion off the forum. Nigeria don get bad image both online and offline but make we no extend that bad image to forum where some of us dey try maintain our reputation.

I go suggest make we limit any discussion wey no relate to bitcoin, economy or politics to other social media like Facebook, Twitter and others. Nigeria dey learn from other countries when it comes to scam and crime but we are very quick to spread anything bad about our country to Internet.

Op I think you're making a point here because it sounds crazy for someone should be spoiling or making the entire world to have negative perspective about nigerians, it doesn't sound good at all.
However,
Members of the Niger local board should be more sensitive and careful to some certain things posted on the general board to avoid putting our global image at risk.

 

This post make brain wella because na how you take package yourself people go take regard you. I don check other local board but I no dey see them cast their country, even India self still dey cover their yash but we here dey cast everything for Yankee language self. No body holy pass, that na wetin we gat know so make we no dey loose guard. If you wan yab Nija, abeg use our Pidgin make e no be say you dey naked us outside.

Some person don't know about this, there mindset is, since they know that they are free to say ear out their views, they fell they can say anything as it is in their mind but not minding that there are some statement that can mess up our reputation as Nigeriana, some perons don't consider reading their lips before talking, they just spread negative news not knowing that they are also Nigerians which means no matter how they try to spread those shits informations, other people outside our local board will still see them as bad people too since they are also Nigerians, I don't want to be misunderstood because am not not against anyone speaking against evil and standing for the Truth but it should be done in the right way, I wish say our people go learn sha but no wam.

i Definitely support this post but i believe their are moderators in this forum that regulates everything going on in this forum and any other so they know how to handle issues like this. And secondly as you have said in addition to that one we shouldn't be giving bad names to our country because this is not where it all started when it comes to those foreign countries Nigeria is still a baby we are still growing so lets strive to achieve a good nation i believe in this country e go good oh

Those are merit's hunter abd propagandists that spread fake headlines just to fish merit's or trying to meet their weekly posts quarter what I do most times is to report such posts since from my findings I discovered that most of such thread are aimed and targeted at something that is not good for the general good of the forum, I will suggest that we have such a thread where we report false and fabricated stories around the forum and get them tag.

I for no kuku talk again because wetin you talk here na wetin dey my mind to talk, first na we dey make other people dey see us finish it not e get some things wey person wey no dey dis our corner no supposed know about us at all but it's just too bad say everything don almost cast. Naija na oir own make we no say no matter how tins don bad we no get another country wey we fit take replace our own so make we try dey protect our country e go really dey good like that.

OP no be lie you talk, I agree with you on this one.

But at the same time even if we move such discussions to the 9ja local board, I hope say you know outsiders fit still access and read them since there is no kind of password wey dey protect our board.

What I think will work better is if a policy is made by the moderator of our board say anyone wey wan discuss sensitive matters about the ills of Nigeria should do so in Pidgin English. This is because many non-Nigerians no too dey conversant for pidgin. With Pidgin, we Nigerians go still understand the discussion clearly, but it won’t be so easy for outsiders to follow through

I know that I am in no position to dictate what rule should be implemented and what rule shouldn't but I believe that if this rule is implemented,a balance will be struck, which will give us the liberty of  talking about the challenges we face, and at the same time making it very hard for those on the outside to understand us and use our own words against us.

Wetin you talk here no be lie, na truth you dy talk, but the problem here is that not everyone in this our local board Sabi write in pigin well, some people here, if them write anything in pigin, you no go fit read and understand wetin them dy try to talk, that one na number one.

Secondly, anybody wey dy bring anybody come this forum should try and lecture that person on how to behave him or herself because I see how most newbies dy misbehave anyhow and doing things with the intention of spoiling things for others and Nigerian at large, person like word bomb, that guy hand surpose touch am if to say I know am in person because him dy very stupid, him go dy call Nigerian greedy publicly, upon say moderator act fast and delete the stupid thread, him carry the matter go meta, honestly I was really angry because the guy dy too stupid, because in my own opinion,  freedom of speech dy no mean say you go talk anyhow.

Mia Chloe request to be a moderator in the beginners and help board no make am in anyway greedy, something wey I no even dy aware of till this stupid word bomb start complaining that Dem dy delete him post, so make we try know the type of people we bring to the forum because no be everybody well mentally

I think I'll agree to your statement, although the OP of that post got it all wrong concerning Trump being scammed, Trump wasn't scammed directly but rather the scammer duplicated a fake site to scam people of the donations meant for Trumps inauguration. Anyways he's right afterall concerning bad government leading to more crimes, there are still many good youths that are hardworking and earn a living through legit means but when a government is bad the rate of crime becomes double therefore for crimes like Internet fraud to reduce in the country the government has a major role to play, if they can lead by example and build industries that would tackle unemployment then many youths would deviate from illegal activities but whereby majority of people in the government sectors are busy looting public funds and impoverishing the citizens then sone would look forwards to illegal activities like fraud and other crimals for survival. To cut long story short, there's absolutely nothing wrong that topic the OP mentioned.

It’s a low quality post. I don’t visit Politics and Society board so I don’t get to see some of these topics. There are better ways the OP could have presented the topic that it would have been of value and even be considered as a topic for Bitcoin discussion board. I’d also like to point out that since we can’t stop people from making topics they like we could at least try not to engage them. Most of the comments on the thread are from people in this local board. We should ignore posts that are not adding quality to the board and the forum at large.

Las Las everybody here dey hustle for their own belle, the worst thing we go (which I don dey observe for here) Na to use our own spoil another person own. Las Las, all of us Na one for here, even if person make move and the person no be your fav, E no mean say you go wan come spoil the person own, all of us Na one and Na love supposed bind us together, the least we go fit do for ourselves Na to get one another back, even when the person make mistake, correct the person with love, no be to carry shoulder or do am to show say Na you sabi pass or come use am as opportunity to spoil the person own, E no good, because at a point, all of us don be newbie before and at some point, one or two persons don show us love and contribute to our growth, one good turn deserves another, E go only make sense to also show the same love to others, whether you sabi them personally or not.

It's already common knowledge that any post that is relating to Nigeria should be done on our local board here because this is where only Nigerian member are and we understand and interact because we know the challenges that we face as Nigerian citizens so any thread that is on another board should be generalized and should not have the name of Nigeria as that is not even appropriate because each board has their own rules so taking Nigerian topics to other boards is even out of place and your thread can even be moved back to the Nigerian local board so it's important that we localize our Nigerian problems here

People rush to spread rumours they hear and read without investigating further about the particular thread the OP referenced. It was later cleared that Trump was not even the one that was scammed, but someone from our country diverted money that was supposed to be donated to Trump for his inauguration. It was a totally different story, but as far as Nigeria is involved, they share it with any narrative they want, just like racists are quick to react when Bitcoin happens to fall under a scam scheme.

We have local board were all things that concerns us should be discussed but unfortunately a lot of person feels otherwise, perhaps they feel outside board is were they would get different opinions but however is actually not encouraging discussing some issues someone could use to see us as people who are always doing bad things or being infected by the corruption that is happening in the country, actually is not that I'm saying nobody should mention about Nigeria outside the local board but because of misconception or misunderstanding of generalization is better talking about it in the local board only because if we continue this way a lot of people will start using us to reference anything about bad behavior and deceit.

Honestly, I once came across a topic here by a fellow Nigerian and to be honest, I cringed reading it. It made me feel really bad for us because it seemed like we were indirectly confirming the same negative stereotypes the world already holds against us. The truth is that many of us are into nothing but legitimate hustles by working hard, building skills, trading honestly and pushing for a better life. That’s why it hurts when we see our own people putting content out here that paints us all in a bad light. We forget to note that such contents  doesn’t only affect the poster rather, it damages how the entire Nigerian community is perceived in global discussions.

We should be more protective of our reputation as a people because once trust is lost, it’s difficult to rebuild.

True true all of us na one here, but take note say na only person wey see and treat you as a brother you go see in that brotherly way, if not you fit die before your time if you thinks say everybody love you and because of that, you open up in revealing things you should have kept to urself alone.
As for the love you dy talk about, I no dy against any newbie here especially a fellow Nigerian, I believe say as a Nigerian, the life they win you 3-0 already just by being a Nigerian citizen, so that newbie surpose get sense before taking some actions, him no know say oyibo man no go fit love you the Same way ur own naija brothers go love you, so him been dy try to crucify one of us just for cheap favour wey him no even get at the end.
So not having sense as a Nigerian dy really vex me because person wey no get helper surpose get sense as the popular say goes.

See eh e get somethings way I won talk, e get some things way we need to dey talk with pidgin language for our local board here, OP watin you talk dey very correct but you for talk am for pidgin language so that outside person no go even understand watin you dey talk make e no con be like say we dey try hide our bad side or scam activities way dey happen for our country.
OP you never see anything e get one post way I see way our Nigeria person dey call Nigeria's scammers and idiot I was so angry and mad I no really understand why some Nigeria people dey always let us down.
Bad things way dey happen for all this oyibo people country na something way dey shock me war everywhere still una dey feel say them better pass us way be black.
Yes corruption dey this our country and no where corruption no dey for the world, no where bad things no dey happen for scam matter self we Nigeria's still dey learn work, so abeg make we mind how we dey downgrade our country Nigeria for this forum, this forum na world forum so make we no downgrade ourself con later dey complain say this white people dey let us down.

There are many countries in the world where the fraud ratio is very high, but it is not being reported in the media in that way. It is not acceptable for the media to link a Nigerian person to a negative news and make defamatory comments about the entire country. There are both good and bad people in a country. It is sad if the reputation of the entire Nigerian people is commented on for one bad act. Of course, there is nothing wrong with saying what is good and bad that is true but one should not say anything that is not true. Corruption is a very common thing now. Corruption exists in almost all countries of the world so no such slander should be made that focuses only on the negative aspects overall.

Sorry baba, I thought about it too but I no too dey fluent typing in pidgin. The most important thing now be say make we all give ourselves and anybody we wan bring come here small orientation. No be everything wey  dey happen to us for the country supposed enter here. Make this people no come blacklist us because of the things we dey talk for here.

This makes a lot of sense mate, and yeah, I have been seeing a lot of scam report coming from our local board here, and of which I don't see other countries making several reports regarding this scamming issue But other  bitcoin/ important discussion, I'm not against making scam report in this forum but we should try and adjust or limit from making such post. Because the forum is very broad to an extent that people from different countries can decide to visit our local board and when they find out that the rate of scam is very high here they can decide to do something crazy, because they will feel that we are promoting scammers in our country so we should try to make amends just as op have said.

Good talk OP…. This matter No be just about posting news portraying our country in bad light even us for the forum e get som kind things wey we no suppose Dey post or comment. We supposed Dey show a United front especially when it comes to posting outside the local board. Some of us Dey attack our brothers openly for those  Oyibo threads and no b reasonable critic of opinion sef na abusive objections and e no good, e get some of these people wey Dey probe people acct or report for one thing or the other. A naija nigha go still Dey chuk pin for another naija account….,, all this kind attitudes no nice for we here as a community. We supposed Dey look out for each other, encourage people make dem grow for the forum.

 Well, that nah true observation you make oh. I don check am and see say even these whites dey hardly discuss the shortcomings of the government aside from the ones wey dey obvious. The essence of having a local board nah so that we fit talk things like that for here. Nah true say even as him talk am for the other board, e still no change any thing order than to demean and downgrade the country more and more but maybe nah how overwhelming the situation dey nah make am do wetin him do.
 The news also show say other countries no go waste time point fingers on this country when bad things happen because as long as we no see the guy, the person fit no be Nigerian but African but since to them, nah only naija people dey rush into scams, e come dey easy to point fingers.
I know say we government get role to play for the growth of the nation and to empower youths but when them no come put body, e mean say their hands come automatically dey useless? Why not go and learn a skill instead of to dey blame the government for their bad decisions.

wetin i just observed na say most of the members wey dey carry topics wey concern Nigeria dey go outside na still newbies and for those wey dey carry sensitive matters wey concern the country dey go outside local board just dey do am to obtain small favors like to get merits which dey end up not even getting. My advice na just say any body wey come across any thread wey dey mostly related to Nigeria make dem report that post to the moderator for it to be moved to the local board.

Well I have thought about this and discover that the people that mostly create this kind of thread are the newbies who just come recently because the old members here are fully awear about the warning, because there was a time this was rampard when our very own Niger guys was creating thread in the general board just to tarnish our image but a warning signal was given to them till it's stoped. We are not going to relent,we need to keep educating the newbies till  they come to their right sense that Nigeria is not the only country that is currupt, and for that reason our own is not supposed to be always talked about. I no say Dem dey do all this things to buy favor from dis oyibo men but common those things na robish, make we try get since abeg.

I agree with you. When someone exposes their negative aspects, it not only reflects on the information but also on the ethnic identity. Many non-Nigerians have the misconception that Nigerians are scammers, corrupt and such comments reinforce their misconception. Presenting ourselves in an international platform like this forum in a way that does not damage the national image.

Nice talk my broda, I been get this matter for mind don tey and to be honest I Dey wait for person wey go just burst the matter, some of us no dey defend our country for outsiders front, na corrupt our government corrupt we no support paint our country black, na our government no good but our country still remain one of the best country in the world, for we to get mind Dey paint our country black e mean say we too no be better person and no be good citizens as we call ourselves, no any country wey no get scammer but as our people no fit see small money na e make everywhere blast, we should not allow any body see us finish and be talking negative about us because it will affect us and no any outsiders go wan dey trust us, abeg make we no how to talk, everybody dey suffer but make we dey reason before we talk.

Bad people dey everywhere. Na US and European countries get the highest scammers. These people dey scam us steady but you go hardly hear am for their mouth.  No matter how pikin bad reach him mama no go cast am for outside. I support wetin op talk because no bi for our mouth this people go dey here about our matter. Make dem read am for another source, but make the thing no come from our mouth.

Since some of them dey lap for this unit sometimes,  if we one dicuss this kind matter make me code am for our local language.

Common sense suppose tell pipo say just as e get wetin go happen for awa family wey you no go carry go outside go talk, naso e supposed be for the local board. E get some sensitive matter wey concern awa country wey we no supposed carry go English board go open awa nyansh. Make we dey guilded by the things we dey yan. No be awa own bad pass, make we dey try use awa head.

Your point is quite clear. I understand you are saying though it is necessary to identify our country's problems, it is equally necessary to be careful on how we bring them to an global forum. Posts that talks about crime and corruption not having context may end up raising stereotypes that counts speak against Nigerians. This isn't about shying away from our issues, it is about safeguarding our collective image and carefully selecting what can be dished out in the global space and what should be kept in local board.

Nigerians should be careful on raising very sensitive matters on international platforms, because such may arouse stereotypes or harm our general image.

You made a very good point,but how I wish it will be possible for us not to.because i believe there are still other countries that has the same problems or challenges we are having here in our country too, but still you cannot see them exposing it just like ours, and sometimes I begin to wonder how they manage to sort out their indifference without others hearing their voice like we do.

And that makes me to believe that other countries are far in civilization than us and that helps them to manage themselves amicablely.. and the funniest thing is that some of this country are worster than ours still you will not see them on the social media like we do,..

But I still not forget that their government always their to them whenever they raise alarm and listen to the voice of their citizens unlike our government who don't care about us...

This matter way you relate so like this eh, na something way person Dey see for the forum cef and e go just Dey pepper for eye. You never even do nothing cef and breeze don already blow your ynash open for outside. Person way for like run matters with you go just come up with one kind negative assertion of you base on watin them don hear of our people. Na that kind bad narrative we no suppose Dey loud am for here, no be our own bad pass but, na our own sound pass and e no suppose be like that. Everybody Dey package their matter make e nice, na so e suppose be for this end too.

There's one thing that some people don't understand, that's why they can put out some things publicly. There's a saying that knowledge is power which some people are actually knowledgeable enough in some certain areas of life but not when it concerns history, origin of things and the structure of how things and things came to be. Some people believed in small histories they learned in school but when you look beyond some of the untold historic events that are not allowed to be taught in school, you will understand that we are 100% better than these oyimbo men that some people are worshiping as their black jesus.
 They themselves don't come out to wash their dirty linens in public because they know they are evil, theirs is even worse than Nigerians but yet some people don't want to understand this.

We don't have bad government, we have a government that is made bad by the high authorities from Oyimbo man country. They spoil it all, put hunger in the belly of people and cause so many damages and yet are walking freely as if they did nothing, but yet made you to believe that they are innocent meanwhile they are evil people. Do I need to tell you say nija government still get upper hands way they tell them watin to do and watin not to do? Evil Oyimbo authorities way they pressure them to do some things way them no want. Our people say, "the worst thieving method is not by gun or cutlass or to rub someone through online fraud but the worse nah to sign a signature for just few documents"  Some people they dumb to believe say Oyimbo better pass meanwhile them they use signature to thief pass you self way they press.

You are very right bro, some of we Nigerians naturally get that busy body  to dey show our self anywhere way Will go, imagine how person go just dey spoil our global imagine, making the hole world to dey see all of us as bad people, which eye way you want outsiders to dey carry look us e no make sense at all.
 
Make we try to dey protect our self no be only our own bad pass , people own way bad pass our own self dey but dem dey hide am.

Honestly when I see that post eh e really pain me reach bone and if to say the OP of that post dey close for where I dey em for chop slap and I no send anybody, e no even bring the talk come out local board oh but em carry am go politics and society come still use pure English dey write am. Baba think say those oyibo people go see am say na em good pass among us Nigerians?

For christ sake, a Nigerian problem should be kept in the Nigerian board. It's bad enough that the only language that unites us is English and we no suppose dey talk anything wey dey serious with English because them oyibo go read am understand wetin we dey yan, and us as Nigerians no go fit understand wetin Dem dey write for their own board. Every country get their own share of scammers and they are not talking about their own problems and I wonder why this werey decide to do us dirty like this.

My friend, you are right in your opinion. l wish to let you know that crime and corruption did not start from Nigeria, even in the developed countries there use to be story of crime and corruption. What are my saying every country have there own national challenges that they are striving to combat, why should we expose our own problems or challenges to people of other countries who can not even solve our national challenges.discussions like this is supposed to be indoor (among Nigerians), and not with people who are not part of us.

Not neccessarily indoors my dear, make this kind discussions no come here atol atol. We dey use our own hand dey give ourself bad name for this forum with the kind things wey we dey talk for this forum. I just wish say our people go learn something make my worst fears no happen. Make dem no come blacklist Naija people because of the kind nonsense wey we dey talk here. E no hard for oyibo people to do. Me I sure say na because of this nonsense life by some of us nai make some Nigerians for here no gree identify with the Nigerian local board. Dem just wan be on the safer side. Me sef no too blame them, some of us no get better orientation and we dey use our own spoil another person own.

OP wetin you talk here na true but you no go as well blame the person because of the fact say the forum warrant freedom of speech and expression and where him go make that statement Na for general board otherwise him for no think am because na straight delete botton our local mod for give am because e no go make sense to see your fellow countryman dey cap careless about him home wey e be say him home people lap the platform dey survive. E no make sense at all, I wish e go dey possible to dey report any post wey we see for general board wey dey depict the image and name of our mother land, just like e happen for the general board wey Mitchell delete few weeks ago about a newbie wey dey address him fellow with absurd name calling and the guy Na our own countryman wet get mind dey do that nonsense.

I really like the idea of using Pidgin English for sensitive discussions. It’s smart because Pidgin is such a unique way for us to express ourselves straightforward and relatable but also kinda keeps outsiders from fully grasping what’s being said. It’s like having our own little code.
I totally agree that making it a rule would help create that safe space for honest talks without worrying too much about people misinterpreting or misusing our conversations. Plus, it celebrates our culture in a way that’s both practical and meaningful.
Of course, it’d take some getting used to for everyone to switch to Pidgin in those threads, but I think it’s worth trying. Thanks for bringing up this perspective.

And the worst part be say we dey mostly use correct English for our local board while others wey use their own local language, make we try dey use pidgin for some sensitive information wey we dey bring the forum. That thread come be like say every body for naija na scam and this oyibo people for here go dey avoid us say we be wayo people, make we try dey write sensitive information with pidgin so that e go dey difficult for outsiders to understand.

We should always refrain from doing things that can tarnish the image of our country. We should never use unwanted or false and fabricated titles to enhance our own merit. Constructive discussions to protect the interests of the forum will definitely lead us to the right goal. People have the right to express their opinions, but that does not mean that it will not be good for the country and the nation.

Not all people are the same. There are many people who cannot see the good in people who feel very bad when they see the good in someone and try to harm them. But yes I don't think there is anything like that in our board. Because everyone on our board is very good and everyone is very sincere. I have seen how one person helps another person. This is not exactly how you think our board is.

But yes there are or will be many people in between, this is a very natural thing. If we ourselves are not bad, then how can other people see us as bad. We work as partners and help each other in our board. We have not seen anything in our board that will bring bad name to our board. Everyone is united and trying to enlighten our Naija board

Op, I totally agree with you there are things we should not bring to the forum to discuss about no matter how strong it is especially something that will tarnish the image of Nigerians. There are things people we see and it will be used to justified everyone even when it's not true though there are still people that won't judge everyone in that particular place based on what they see because they knew regardless of how bad or corrupt a particular people or place is, there is always good people amongst them. But I will also at same time plead and suggest everyone do what is right at the right time and there is no place in the world that is not corrupt.

There is no place in the world that is not corrupt...that is a pure fact. No be our own spoil pass. I am believing that this thread will teach some of us how to behave in public because na how we present ourselves, nai dem go use rate us. Las Las all of us for here go dey alright and we no go spoil anything. My joy be say, I never hear say any Nigerian scam person or default loan for this forum since when i join the forum. I don't know if it has happened in the past, but we dey really try to maintain ourselves for here. The only thing we want use spoil am na the unnecessary chochocho, but we go dey alright at last.

Wetin carry person go create this kin topic for other board, e no really make sense now, we just Dey spoil our reputation for all dis oyinbo people side, because the kind mindset wey dem get be say most people from naija na yahoo dem Dey do, so if people dey create this kin topic, e Dey make things worst be that now. Wetin make person carry this kin matter go politics and society, or na merit him Dey hustle na Wetin make am Dey create this kin thread thinking something go drop.

If we Dey talk about crime for d world, make I no lie naija Dey even learn work self, Wetin most of this oyinbo Dey do, then you go know say naija Dey learn work, but most of them Dey hide there own, na we our own Dey always Dey pubic, na why eye Dey always Dey our side be that now.

Plenty people Dey here wey be real hustler, but Dey just Dey make everybody look like criminal for dis oyinbo’s eye.

If you wan create some topics, make e be only dis local board, and if you see say some topics Dey sensitive, use pigin write am so that people from other boards no go understand am, na only we wey Dey dis local board go understand.

Where there are 10 bad people, there will be one good person. And by making some good changes, it will start from that one person. Our love for those who criticize any information from our Nigeria board on any other board is also endless. Because our Naija board does not teach violence. Rather, it teaches people to come to the aid of others and extend a helping hand, friendly behavior. Many types of discussions are held on the political and social boards. Therefore, it is better not to spread filth in the name of politics. And polite behavior is considered the main lesson on our Naija board.

Did the op mentioned where he's coming from in that post? Or did he mentioned nigeria in that post? If yes then is wrong I'm not against such post but when making a post like that you don't have to mention the country you're coming from, some people may not even see it the other way round but to express thier feelings because nigeria is not the only corrupt country in the world which is very obvious so when a topic like this is being created maybe your reason of creating the post is just so as to hear from other people's concerning thier country, and I'm sure that some countries are even worst than nigeria in terms of corruption. For the fact that a country is corrupt does not mean that each and every one of the citizens in that country is corrupt.

Honestly some people don't know how other country speak online. I know we have our individual differences due to ethnic, religious and some other backgrounds, but we should know that it's the same battle we are facing in our country those guys are also facing but unfortunately they face their own in another form. There are bad leaders everywhere just that we are cursed with leaders that has personalized corruption and it's difficult to leave but that doesn't mean it happened only here, it's everywhere but there are level to it over there.

Another thing be say, we dy too make mouth for bad things. This issue of scam, I don't support scam or anything internet related stealing but the thing don affects us well well to the point that if you want to chat people online, they would first doubt your sincerity. Wetin people know no be say, if you look wetin other countries they do online, naija no even reach number 3 for global recognition but na we dy put am for head pass, let's learn to educate this people so we can earn back our respect.
