Today I was trying to join the channel "Nigerians" to meet up with some of my friends, but when I clicked join I noticed that the channel was not allowed! Neither was Nigeria. Nigeria is a great place and I don't know why it is banned. America isn't, Germany isn't...

Not sure if trolling, but they probably filter "nig(g)er" and variations of it.
