Let's not wash our dirty linen in public

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

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.

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

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.

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.

[CryptSafe]

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.

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.

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.

[Anayochukwu]

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.

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.

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.

No be lie you talk. although we know say e get some of those white heads wey dey actually understand this our pidgin language small small, plus some fit actually use translators to fit translate some kind things oo. but no be all of them go fit understand or go wan go through the stress of translating wetin we dey talk. e go really help us if we fit dey use pidgin to dey communicate some kyn things wey we know say e supposed be for our ears alone.
