Naijapals Suspends User Indefinitely For Impersonation
Naijapals, the leading social networking site in Nigeria has suspended the user account of Profile ‘Impersonator’ Chinwenduu.
According to Naijapals,
Profile impersonator “chinwenduu” is now indefinitly suspended from the Naijapals community for gross disregard for the Naijapals “Terms of service”.
The user has repeatedly ignored warnings from the Naijapals admin after creating fake profiles with names such as shaniqua, shanique1 and recently mushabcd. The user has created over 30 Naijapals account in total for purpose unknown to the administrators.
All accounts related to chinwenduu has now being deleted and members are encourages to refrain from communication of any sort from this user.
We work hard to make Naijapals an enjoyable and safe community for all, dishonesty is a very serious offence and Naijapals takes this very seriously.
Naijapals will be closing down other accounts that are suspicious without prior notifications.
According to Naijapals Terms of Use:
The Company may terminate your membership, delete your profile and any content or information that you have posted on the Site or through any Platform Application and/or prohibit you from using or accessing the Service or the Site or any Platform Application (or any portion, aspect or feature of the Service or the Site or any Platform Application) for any reason, or no reason, at any time in its sole discretion, with or without notice, including if it believes that you are under 13, or under 18 and not in high school or college.
I think this is an excellent move from Naijapals.com and should be emulated by other social networking, social media, blogs and websites in Nigeria. Just because you want to have more users or members, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have a user reputation system for your website.
This is not new for social networking sites, as Facebook has banned some users as well. Although, there could be more abuses on the Naijapals site, I think this could serve as a deterrent to other users.
But the question is: Is there a way these abuses could be managed effectively?
Err, are you guys running out of things to feature or write about? Perhaps a form should be attended for people to suggest new startups, or hot news in the nigerian dotcom industry…
Woops, i meant a page should be created with a form for suggestions…
This is absolutely not need its a social network I should have a right to do anything I want any time I want as long as I do not abuse peoples right and privacy or is their webspace too little to handle the pressure? Ha Ha Ha
Loys - Nice article, great write up, keep it up. I can see some “loy-wannabe” comments on your article, just one of the anti-social behaviour that some Nigerians dont mind exibiting online.
A social community dosnt mean you do whatever you like whenever you like, as long as there are two or more people in the community; as such steps like this is very neccesary to keep the atmosphere condusive and trustworthy.
You are only entitled to only one account on Naijapals, anything other than that is fraud and we dont think that is a good way to succeed.
@ Naijapaller
Good work there afterall Naijapals is Not Nairaland,were you will be insulted by those who can even be your househelps.Stick on you Terms of use.
Many Nigerians are not civilied enough to use internet…
The truth is that most people do no read TOS before doing anything on site. Please ensure you read TOS Nigerians! I heard facebook now has a new TOS.
Great showcase,i believe nigerians should support more than discourage.great work odofin & loy …and all the people that believe in this struggle against fraud.
@NAIJAPALLER I didnt mean to insult but if that is what you think. GOOD FOR YOU AND YOUR PHPIZABI RUN NETWORK. The terms were not even written by you they were written by the owners of izabi good luck with your scrap network
@Kayode - Thanks for your suggestion.
@Naijapaller - Thanks for dropping by. Keep up the good work!
Hmm! People like “Chinwenduu” hardly put their time, money and energy into building a noteworthy service/startup like that of Naijapals, they are just “parasites” and when they succeeded in devouring their host, they quickly and easily move on to another host, well all I can say is “Good riddance to bad rubbish”.

Meanwhile, i dont think this news is worthy to be featured here.
