What Is Happening To NL Politics Section? by Nobody: 3:24pm On Dec 07, 2013
I just saw the thread below on the front page.
https://www.nairaland.com/1545638/president-jonathan-mandela-doyin-okupe

As expected, the thread has become a launch pad for haters and tribal warlords to throw all manner of missles, insults and curses on the president.

Some questions for all people of good conscience to ponder:

1. What was the source of the information on that thread. Any credible source? If it was AIT as alleged, any audio or video?

2. Was the information on that thread confirmed before it was moved to the front page?

3. Why is NL always in a haste to move threads that ridicule the president to the front page?

4. Since posting of wrong information is against the rules and attracts a ban on NL, what will happen if the information on that thread turns out to be false? What will happen to the super-mods that moved it to the front page?

On a final note, my advice to Seun is that he should not destroy the integrity of this forum on the alter of partisan politics or tribal solidarity. Just like past elections, 2015 elections will also come and go but NL will remain

This is not a news site but a blog. So, there's nothing wrong in someone creating a thread based on what they saw on tv or saw on their way to work. Most news stories on this forum are not confirmed as they're gotten from news sites that we can't totally trust. Like i said, it's a forum aand people can create a thread based on their personal experience. It's now behooves on you to dispell whatever the person said and the argument can begin.

@Afam4eva..,you once banned me unjustly for allegedly using 'mis-leading' headline. These were headlines which were fit and proper in my opinion. What do you have to say to the practice of moving source-less and unconfirmed threads to the front page, especially threads that ridicule the president? Is that a fair practice?

Its so unfortunate that we cant seem to get a sense of fairness and equity on anything that has to do with Nigeria and now even on an anonymous social media platform. It seems that Nigerian factor will always rear its ugly head everywhere and on everything that is Nigeria related. Shame!

Everything bad about the president both truth and lies hit the front page, but once they see anti Apc post no matter how credible the post is they will hold it and wont allow it to move front page and at last they will move to race and seceterian section.MR Seun know it that God is watching the injustice that is happening here everyday.THIS IS MOVING AWAY FROM NAIRALAND OF OUR DREAM WERE EVERYBODY WILL AIR HIS/HER OPINION WITHOUT BEING INTIMIDATED

There were so many links to that news on the internet. Doyin Okupe actually said it. Why is Sin.9gerian making so much noise about it? He has created more false news with misleading headlines than any other forumite here. Why should this one be a problem?
There's a particular thread about Ngige which made front page I think a week back or so about someone asking him what he felt about him loosing the election. The sourceless thread made front page just to ridicule Ngige and APC. I don't know if was meant to be a joke! Can't find the link to the thread. angry

You know that Mukina is biased.

You think that Mukina is biased.

you are so fond of bending two parallel lines to meet.

Fashola buying cars for such amount is a very sensitive news that can't just be moved to the homepage without a factual verification and evidence.
Okupe's statement on comparing GEJ to Mandiba isn't a sensitive news of such magnitude.

Why not provide a credible link to the story and clear all doubts? I have done my search without success. Even the worst of them all, Sahara Reporters, which has been searching the whole world with their electronic microscope, looking for things to ridicule the president with, have no such report. And if there was any credible link, why wasn't it provided on the thread in question? Did the super-mods see the credible link before shipping the thread to the front page?

And by way, the only thing I've been accused of is changing of headlines and nothing more. I dont distort the content of reports. But sometimes I change headlines just to make them more fanciful and attractive.

And there were celebrating seeing the thread on the FP! The OP himself knows GEJ can never be compared to Mandela, that's why he's ashamed of seeing the thread on the FP! Pls blame that on Okupe!

What we have is divergent of opinion. Besides that, nothing more. To my mind, my position on any issue on NL is honest, progressive, sincere and well thought out. Of course, you are free to disagree with me.

Whereas, news outlets can be muscled by Okupe and his agents to suspending the rebroadcast of unflattering comments they've made on TV, no one has the power to do the same to esteemed Nairalanders who heard the comments and posted the same here.

The beauty of NL lies in the fact that news, which otherwise are prevented from being publicized, are allowed to be posted here freely. TV stations have 100s of clips daily, and they will not put all the clips, including the one of Okupe's booboo, on you tube.

If Oshiomole had been recorded by a Nigerian news outlet, I bet you, the widow clip would have been prevented from going viral. Thankfully Nairalanders were able to pounce on the news and forced Oshiomole to do the right thing.

Th OP will do better to advise Okupe to watch his tongue. No one can bully NLers.

@op I would have loved to second u on this topic.but ur personality here on nairaland not only deludes me but your approach to partisan politics is void of common sense.,...
You opened a thread where u told apc fans in anambra to come and cry out there eyes,is that the type of topics that u want to make front page?
In as much as nairaland is fast loosing its glory just as u stated.but i dont think u are the right person to raise the issue.
An advice to u:stop ranting my dear and go get some facts...
