Top 15 Past And Present Trends On Nairaland by DY20: 9:37pm On Jul 20, 2016
It's been a while I'v joined this forum and it's been enjoyable throughout stay. Nairaland is a place where you meet different people, different personalities, different thinking, awkward discussions, weird questions, different response, so new things, that will make you "wow" happen almost everyday.

Today, I present to you to top 14 waves that happened (and still happening) on Nairaland, and the oldies can relate to it.

1. 5 & 6 :- This is a slang in Africa describing two things that do occur together on many occasion. Nairalanders are fond of using slang to comment on some topics, attaching the picture of one old man making his index fingers come together. Politicians and money are like 5 & 6.

2. End Time :- This is a trend of the past but still used once in a while. This is a slang used by nairalanders to comment on topics about things that are very awkward and unimaginable. Any small thing na "End Time"

3. Picture or :- This is slang used by some Nairaland that don't believe and new development easily. You need to convince them with a pictured evidence. Create any topic like Buhari becoming the president, you will get comments like "pishure or idonbelieveit" This still trends but usage declines.

4. FTC :- This simply means "First To Comment." If you are new to this platform and you see people struggle to get this position. You will think there is some kind of reward for it. Haha. Seriously, it is just for fun. "FTC since 2009." "FTC for the first time since 2004. I dedicated this land to.."

5. Space Bookers :- This trend still trends and it will forever be trending as long as Front Page still exist. Who wouldn't like to be heard by large number of Nairalanders? If you create a topic with a bright front page future you will see comments like: Driver! Park me here, This land is not for sale. Following, Make I sidon sip my kunu. (...) Etc..

6. Who You Epp? :- This is a sland originated from the popular artiste, Olamide. It trends at one time but not for long. Create a Topic about Mahida going nude and you will see replies like, Who her yanch Epp?

7. Pick Up :- This is a slang that trends at the release of the song "Pick Up by Adekunle Gold." Nairalanders do use this slang to comment to Topic about wealth, fortune or luck. Then, celebrities topics like Orisagunna and Comments like Baba God, Pick up my call are like 5 & 6.

8. Wailers & Zombies: This is a slang describing the followers of PDP and APC. After the last election, which is a shocker for all of us, divides nairalanders into two groups: Wailers and Zombies. Wailers are Nairaland members not in support of the new government, and as the name implies, wail at the good development from the government. While zombies are the people that are in support of the new government.

The remaining ones below are not based on trending ways people comment but the type of Topics that tends to make Front Page.

9. Pictures People Can Relate To:- This Type of Topics is a trend that is on fire. Nairalanders will sit down, think of popular scenario that do occur to many people, summarise it with 10 to 12 sentences, then each sentence will be explained with hilarious pictures. My best one is: 14 Pictures Jambites can relate to: the part where we will be looking for the most attractive answers.

10. Snake :- What moderators and Snakes have together still remain a mystery to many nairalanders. If you create a topic about killing an animal, then your front page future is bright. If the animal is a BIG SNAKE, then your topic front page future is guaranteed.

11. Praise The Lord! I Have Got A Good Job! :- Look at what unemployment in Nigeria has caused. Some people will come here to share their good news about their new job, causing hypertension to people that are still searching. The front page is reserved for you, go and get that job.

12. 10 Ways To.. :- At one point, Nairalanders won't create any other topic than 10 ways to make your partner love you. 10 ways to get rich. 10 things you see inside a commercial bus. One guy like that.. "Tosyne2much" deserves an award for stuffs like this (he does good one though). Nairalanders miss this type of threads so much but we have gotten over it.

13. Celeb Pictures and Cleavages:- About last month or two; moderators almost choke us with celebrities pictures like our lives depend on it. Toyin Aimakhu Steps out in style with Denim. Rihanna vs Tiwa savage, who rocks it better. Timi Dakola strikes a pose at the BET award. Fans come for Fathia Balogun for showing massive cleavage (see pics).

14. Crime :- These types of topics scare me to death. There is never a time you log into nairaland without seeing about 10 topics on crime on front page. Man beheads Son for failing his JAMB exams. Boy murders his teacher, brings out her intestine. I hardly see this kind of thread again these days but it has trend one time. Looks like crime rate have reduced.

And Of course, Add yours
