abes: I'm not so sure, but I suspect it was FBT(free browsing trick) back in 2005 when internet trolls were few..

Same here dude. Was here for all those freebies then. Never registerd until 2006 when i was becoming addictive to the joke section. Mehn...the joke section was so on point back then with the likes of iice,sam etc. For over 3 years now,i rarely visit that section,so boring and old. NL don grow o compared to the wapsites back then

Through my elder brother who would not just let me rest,no day passed without him mentioning Nairaland.

Na google o ... I've been a guest for a long time before i became an active member.

Same here too. I got hooked to nairaland in 2006 after a friend informed me that here is where he gets his MTN browsing cheats.

After getting tired of bn a guest i got registered sometime in December, 2007 (with a moniker i can't seem to remember the password).

Tru google, i clickd on it cuz i tot it was hw to b a gud yahoo yahoo fraudst*r, d name confused me into joining

Stumbled upon it wen i ws surfing d internet.

I remember then I was struggling with my heartbreak from a failed relationship and I decided to keep busy. Googled for fluffy cake recipe and it landed me here. Wanted to post a question and it required I become a member and I registered. Had no idea it is an anonymous forum till after I registered with my real name and started exploring the site.

I was looking for where to borrow N200,000 on google and it redirected me to Nairaland.com

First I thought I'll get the cash here but the business section got me scared and.........to be continue...

As for me while on google I always see posts from nairaland so I decided to know more about it and the rest is history I have been a member ever since.

Heard of it on 2005, and decided to join on Nov, 2012.

fellis: I went to the cybercafé to do something, I can't remember what, and while I was doing whatever it was, the two boys browsing beside me were laughing noisily from time to time. I just glanced briefly at their computer to see what was so funny but I didn't really take note of the name of the website or what they were reading.
After those two boys left the cybercafé I logged out of the computer I was using and went over to the one the two boys left because the screen was clearer and better on that one than on the one I was browsing on initially.
Anyway I found out that the site they were browsing was Nairaland because they didn't close the page before they left so I decided to go through the opened page and see what made them laugh so much.
It turned out to be a football thread on sports section and it was actually a very funny thread with supporters of different footclubs making fun of each other.
Long story short, I registered that same evening and made a comment in religion section in response to one of Gamine's posts (I wonder where gamine is now, she was very popular in those days). I rarely commented during my first few years on NL, mostly because studies were taking my time but I logged in once in a while to see if there was anything fun or interesting on the site.

may b sum nairalanders r no mo available on earth

;Ddamn i cnt believe i hav bn here since 2006!!! i guess a frend told me bout NL ;Ddamn i cnt believe i hav bn here since 2006!!! i guess a frend told me bout NL

It all started in 2012. I saw Seun in my dream. He spoke for several minutes in a strange language and after that, he blew a white powdry substance into the air and said I should join nairaland if I loved my fiancee. My brova I joined immediately I woke up cos I love my fiancee. I no know wetin Seun carry 4 mind.

Those days in school when we hustle for browsing cheats and then configure peoples phone for a token.

Na cheat carry me show this background around 2006. Always viewing as a guest, I also got alot of info here for my IT report and project work then.

Networking. QSP listed nairaland as one of the sites to meet people fast.

Won't lie**always here for mojo sites(porn)**thats 2008

Waoooo, good to know am still here since over 7years ago dat I joined Nairaland. When I joined dat time, we were not dat many and it was fun and really educative. I joined Nairaland when I was looking for Where to get free online Bible, that was 2006, and I joined immediately search engine directed me here. Good to tell u dat I got the Bible mailed to me tru a Nairalander called Shagari free of charge. Since then, I have been a regular silent user. I can say we started Nairaland together.

I was looking for browsing cheats. There was a time vector,gen pype and cyrur da virus were active in the entertainment section around 2007

In 2009, when i was searching for info about Unizik, met one Alexander, who directed me here.

I joined last year. My cousin told me about it.

2010...In a cafe during my youth service. Was looking for a writing site...actually thought Nairaland was a writing site and that Stephen P (then moderator of the literature section) was the owner of the site...

Didn't even see all other sections till later when I started to explore

Job hunting brought me here.
