Topic: Stop creating Naija economic related topic outside our local board (Read 160 times)

Topics like this don come up like three times for here and belike them still find am interesting to post, I support this your topic because local board Dey to discuss like this for example, I hardly enter economics board to find discussion but here for naija board wey attention full na op go see opinion and answer tire. How can a foreigner relate with Nigeria economy discussion?? Aside the current situation Nigeria is facing what else them wan complain for.

Not totally pushing this to the newbies but they are mostly the ones who do not care about our reputation as Nigerians outside the local board (either lack of knowledge or haunt for merit as said by @Igebotz). I hardly will see any member from other boards make a negative comment or topic thread that has to do with the incapacitated part of their country.

If every country should put out all they go through then we can see at worst, we are not as bad and less of what we thought to be, approach to how we communicate and use our words also fill in for how other members reacts with us or even want to do certain transactions.

You did well for bringing up this matter here so that people wey d fond of rushing to post wetin d happen for our country desist to the post our country bad situation for economy, or politics and society board.

I d always d in disbelief when I see such posts making waves in the mentioned board above. The action does make me murmur at what's the reason for that? Is it that the account owner no know sae we get local boards or what. However, I like how so many of us have been advising those who did that to have their post posted on the Naija local board rather than posting on the main boards.

I believe the advice is been noted by many, as we can see a rise in many posts been posted here. Kudos to all of us who made that happened. We shouldn't stop reporting and advising post about Nigeria to be made here than main board.

I have reported a few of those threads already and I always put my head down anytime I read those topics that tend to mock the Nigeria situation as if the current economic meltdown is only peculiar to Nigeria alone, I think also what make those members to create such threads is their lack of knowledge, because if you have basic international information, you will know that the aftermath of covid 19 have negatively impacted global economic situations, and most countries are facing worst situation campared to Nigeria but still yet they citizens won't put them out on global board for discussion.

Well the best thing is to keep enlighting our newbies, on the importance of National dignity and how to protect it in the outside world, at least the Nigerians that we know here in the forum have presented themselves as smart self reliance forks, and not some dependant weak community members that take matters outside Instead of discussing it in the house first.

As a Nigerian citizen, E dey surprise me wella say we no they promote our matter for outside but na we good pass for casting ourselves. I don't know how, when and who set that standard where most of us feel comfortable and pleasurable reporting out issues out there. I think when I asked of how we got here, when and who made this notion a standard way of believe.

In my opinion, it is a complete fallacy to believe that the people outside the country, especially the whites, Europeans and Americans are more superior than ourselves therefore making it an habit to always report ourselves and the unpleasant things that happen in the country to them. I see it as a superiority complex issue. I'm sorry if what I'm saying is not in the interest of some of our members here, but we must tell ourselves the truth and learn how to cover our defecates.

This fallacy gained its popularity in the minds of Nigerians and Africans by extension since the slavery age. I think during the pre-slavery era, it was not the case as many of our people were living their peaceful lives without the fear or intimidation from another. As for the 'who' na them our forefathers them. Some of the elders we got then were manipulated and used by the whites to gain their industrial values in turn.

This is the main reason why till today we kinda feel inferior to these white people forgetting that they've got some of the worse economic and political crisis one could think of. I am not advocating for any form of disunity or the likes. Instead of seeing them as masters, I want us to feel as equal as they are and embrace one another with our diversities. All I'm saying is we must grow above such thinking that we have to report our economic crisis to anyone outside but rather focus more in promoting ourselves and building a prosperous relationship with them.

You try for bringing up this topic here at least e go help people wey dey carry Nigerian Economic matters dey go general board to desist from such act. Anytime I come across those threads for general board e dey pain me well well because no be only our country wey dey face economic problems, the world as a whole dey go through economic recession so make we no come dey behave like say na our own naim bad pass, e get countries wey i dey come across wey get severe economic situation but if you no do research you no go know although wetin dey pain me most na dose of our members here wey don dey the forum for long and dem come introduce newbies without proper guide and orientation. No be to carry person come be the tin but to make sure say person wey you bring no wetin him dey do naim be the most important tin wey dey dia.
            For me sef apart from Nigeria matter wey concern the world at large make we no dey carry any issues concerning us dey go general board even for some people replies I dey see how dem dey make reference of "in my country Nigeria" which is very bad, you can say "in my country" without specifying the particular country wey you dey talk about. Most of the senior people wey dey general board hardly wey you go see dem dey make replies making references to their country in particular so make we try protect our own too no be our own wey bad pass at all. E get countries wey we still better pass by far but you no go see citizens of those countries talking ill about themselves for outside unless say them dey within dem dem. Oga @Wiwo thank you once again for bringing dis topic come local board.

the bad thing about such kind of topics is that it's always about projecting a negative image of the country to the people in the general English board. In the general politics and society board, we've seen cases of updates on major war like the genocide on Pakistanian based on thier issue regarding the quota system and that's even reasonable to know that they were just looking for attention from the global community which is the right thing to do.  But ours has been mostly on our failed leadership related topics that only goes on to tarnish our already messed up image in the midst of the local board as though we're only known for negative things.

Newbies are among the most frequent people that usually does this and maybe it's because some of them aren't conversant with how the forum works and places that certain threads suits the most. For now, I feel the highest we can do is to check out for those threads and suggest it be moved to the local board and if the information is sending a very false narrative about our nationality, we can first debunk such kind of narrative before even suggesting that it be moved to any more convenient board.

Even as na they right to post any where in the forum, it may not be a right when it becomes only one country topics coming up on the global board, such in economics, or bitcoin discussions, just like others have said and I have to agree with that such topics are for merits hunting which is exactly what it look like, but even if you are fishing for merits, having such a thread in your local board can still give you the right audience and if the thread is quality enough, members of your local board can easily give you merits, because such a topic will be more appealing to them than outsiders due to geographical inclination.

I think those set of posters are out of context enterlly and may not have understood the fundamental of creating such thread in the right sections of the forum.

If it board with many reports , the mod may not see such reports, but it more easier reporting such thread on the staff Forum so the mod or admin can take quick action. We can use this thread as a reporting thread for local board related topics outside of the board by dropping links and reasons for move.

I believe this is occurring because of the fact that  members don't really know a post/topic they create that's based on thier LB.
Thanks for speaking about this God bless you, also, while many of us are now aware of this mistake made by some of our members, I think sharing an example will be insightful to all and helpful to see the rate of happening become lower.
Though spammers are inevitable but this will definitely separate the sheep's from the Wolves

I reported one in the past and it was marked as bad. I decided not to report such topic again. I wish to find the thread but I could not see it because it has been up to five months or more. Although, most of such topics that I reported in the past were marked as good except that one.

English is welcomed on this board. I see no reason such threads should be on English board. But my advise is that you can still always report such threads to be moved to local board.

Literally they're fishing for merits or definitely posting on the wrong board for no reason. If you can find topics meant to be on the local board please don't hesitate to drop links so I can PM the moderator of such board to have the topics move to our local Board.

Normally we like to dey cast our situation outside, na why den no dey respect most of una cause Una don portrait una self as 3rd class citizens.

You bring up good suggestion and I don see many threads wey be say other local board members go dey direct the OP to have posted the topic in their local board because say na there the right audience there and na so e be. If you bring naija economic problem come local board, na here you go hear honest response to your questions because na the people wey dey live the economy wey you bring the matter up to go tell you how them take see am and contribute their own to the matter wey you carry come. E be like most of people wey dey do am na newbies, or maybe people wey dey reason say if the general economy board for the forum see am, dem fit put more contribution. But the truth of the matter be say nobody knows the part wey something dey pepper am unless the person wey the pepper dey him body.

My people I say make we put mouth for this issue of creating Nigeria related economic topics outside our local board it doesn't make sense to me and I know it doesn't make sense to other local board members.

I don't want to include links to such threads such threads are mostly found in the economic board, it may make sense to you but then,  is more sensible to discuss those topics here in our local board, which will increase our activities and the same time get the right audience, cryptocurrency related threads are on the decline in our local board mean while our members are very active in creating such threads in the global board.

Abeg make we try the engage our local topics here in our board instead of taking it out of the local for whatever reasons
