Topic: Make Una Avoid Ethnicity Here in the Forum. We're all One. - page 2. (Read 293 times)

I wouldn't argue with you or anyone for any reason. I'm sorry if my comment got you annoyed but I guess you didn't actually understand my suggestion over that thread.

I'm not a Yoruba person first of all, and I just noticed that there is a thread or board that is called Yoruba language and I know too well that the language is most used by Nigerians, so I suggested that instead of it to stand alone it should be included as a sub board in naija local board as other sub boards will be created too.

Hence I apologize to everyone!

EDIT :
Agbe, You're trying your best to keep the forum together which I appreciate alot. Just as Igebot said stick to rule NO: 2 don't make things look like personal attack. The last thread you created to correct someones mistake you said "As na me be una problem" which sparked some reactions too as personal attack. While holding the rules don't break them too.

Igebot and Charles TIm I appreciate you both for contributing hope you guys understand me too. Abeg make una too no take to matter far make e just end before e go turn to another thing too oh.

Once again thanks to y'all my Kan3 pipo  

Even if that thread was very active there is no way we would have made it a sub-board. Nigeria is way more than just Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa. A country With more than 500+ languages can not create a sub-board for some ethnic groups. There is already tribal war going on our social media we do not want that here.

As long as we are Nigerians, Nigeria local board is enough. And only two languages are accepted. Which are English and Pidgin that everyone can use to post. No need for anyone to create any other language thread.

It can not. Assuming we have many people from a particular tribe posting actively, there is nothing bad to have such as child-board. But that can not be done because I can remember that Yorùbá has a thread which was very inactive. And most people did not come up with their own languages. Assuming if Yoruba thread was active and people came up with their own languages, many people could have voted for English, Pidgin and native languages.

I am not insinuating that native languages should be allowed, but saying the reason it was not allowed was because of how inactive native language threads would be. Or maybe it was only me that thought that way in the past.

No. You can create a new thread about this for us to discuss more about it.

I don't also think dat, e dey good to promote local language here in di forum. If anyone like to promote local language let him or her go to here state and do dat. Charles-Tim you know say local language na one of di problem we dey face for dis country. Do you know dat Ghanaians e dey more united dan Nigerians? Me I no support di local language here in di forum whether we go dey active or inactive. Nigeria dey get unity problem because we no get national language, The Linguists been dey try to bring out a national language for di country but dem no fit so dem leave am and dat was wen dem bring up dis words "WAZOBIA" dem still dey use am for national TV station. Local language dey bring disunity because when I speak I no hear when I speak u no hear. Den all of us go our way. And if you no gree make we create local thread and make it active them u go see weti go happened. Ethnic politics will revive itself instant.

And as di Op talk am make we dey use those two languages we we say we go use am. If we say we want to promote our language here den indirectly, we go just divide ourselves here. And dis thing dey happened for real life for all do states. So me too I no support di idea. Make everyone go promote ur language in your state and not here. Do you know dat all Nigerians have two identity. First to your Tribe and second to the country. And dat is wrong. Like federal government dey do employment dem still dey ask my tribe. Dat is wrong. I am a Nigerian employ me and send me to any parastatal. I am a Nigerian, and dem still dey ask me my State. They are creating disunity first before even the people.

So Charles-Tim you dey di side say make local languages boards should be created then remember it is not going to be only 3 languages oh, and all the languages must be promoted in the local board. Because me too I no go understand any of those 3. Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo. And di follow must created as we, because we have to promote all. Epie, Nembe, Effik, Orobo, Calabari, Ogoni, Ogbia and di rest.

Stick to the No.2 guideline, folks, if we wish to avoid sentimental opinion and tribal war among ourselves. Nigeria is a cosmopolitan society unified by a common language (English and Pidgin). According to my statistics, the South-South has the biggest amount of active and high rank members, and this group is also multicultural and speaks multiple languages.

Any tribe that feels uncomfortable and wants to be on their own should start a local thread outside of the Naija local board and stay. You must keep and converse in the two approved languages as long as you are a member of this board.

@Charles-Tim such thread will divide us and will hinder alot of users.

We do not have local languages not because we do not want tribalism. In fact, we supposed to encourage local languages or have a threads in it if it people can make such threads to be active. But with what we have noticed in the past, local language threads are just not active as people are not posting there. The reason most people did not choose local languages was not because of tribalism but for not to have inactive threads.

To the newbies and anyone who is ethnic sentimental should avoid it with 100%. We no dey do things differently here and di only languages allowed in dis local board are: Number is NIGERIAN PIDGIN ENGLISH  And STANDARD ENGLISH from our colonial masters and these are the only two languages accepted here so please and please nobody should bring or try to introduce another language here. We are not here to divide the local board into ethnic segments but for one. And that is why these rules were formulated to guide the local board users but it seems that the newbies are not reading them and always violating or conflicting with the rules. We dey pray say make theymos grant us our request and di guidelines thread go pin nd at dat time any newbie wey no grer read am and come tok nonsense go collect weti no good. See weti dis guy go talk for public not even here.

This kind thing e no make sense. Nigeria has over 525 language and let say all of us want to create sub boards for the language we dey speak for here, how di place go be. Make we avoid dis language sentiment. F you can't use English and Pidgin English then you are not qualify to be here.
I am quoting everything for those who are not reading this probably because di thread is not always at di top.

If you dey carry pesen dey come here please make tell di person to read di rules in local board before any other things so dat do person go be guided.
