Re: Nairaland Versus Facebook by sayso: 8:16am On Oct 21, 2009 |
Nairaland has a spelling check,can facebook beat that,until then as a Nigerian Nairaland is better in all things.When people say Nairaland is faceless,what about the daily contact mobile phone numbers on display that allows people to talk to each other,attend parties and even share pictures. |

Nairaland is a forum, Facebook is not. The work differently at their best. One opened window is Facebook. The other is Nairaland. |

Re: Nairaland Versus Facebook by Genuflect(m): 8:52am On Oct 21, 2009 |
I have to say I wouldn't be able to type this if not for Nairaland. My boys in the phone section. Then for music requests (I just heard a new song on radio), Lalaboi and khanye gat my back. Then rap battles, sports, romance etc. You just can't undermine the power of information. I have never logged in to Nairaland, and not added to my overall knowledge. And I mean that literally |
Re: Nairaland Versus Facebook by vicade(m): 8:59am On Oct 21, 2009 |
Nairaland is cool for information and entertainment. Not to talk of the soccer discusions and the rest. With facebook however. i have found many of my long lost friends. i can chat with real friends. check their pictures and all that. Facebook is more useful to me however it gets boring after a while Nairaland is never boring. There is always one funny character to always start or contribute to a funny topic such as this one. Moreover facebook is on point while nairaland has 70 percent garbage contribution for each topic. |
Re: Nairaland Versus Facebook by sayso: 9:14am On Oct 21, 2009 |

Re: Nairaland Versus Facebook by Jakumo(m): 9:55am On Oct 21, 2009 |
Interesting comparison. Nairaland and other subject-specific internet forums offer a degree of anonymity, which, though not air-tight by any means, does serve as an ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL layer of user protection, when the topic of discussion often turns to the endemic high-level criminality found in third-world countries that could turn repressive on a dime, a la China. As for Facebook and Twitter, maybe I will someday learn to appreciate the benefits accruable subsequent to having ones personal details and photographs available for persual by literally millions of indentity thieves and sundry fraudsters on the internet, but in all likelihood by the time I see the light, I'll be too old and ugly to put my mug up for inspection anyway. |
Re: Nairaland Versus Facebook by Genuflect(m): 10:18am On Oct 21, 2009 |
Jakumo:Omo, see grammar. Lol |
Re: Nairaland Versus Facebook by bibiking1(m): 10:22am On Oct 21, 2009 |
Jakumo: so you see why i'll chose NL, you hardly get these sort of comments there with the fluidity and essentiality with which Brother Jakumo (who robbed me of my Hrandfather clock) dispenses 'em. You would also not see the Mapomeji crew on Facebook, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Unless they changed their minds! |
Re: Nairaland Versus Facebook by jidobaba(m): 10:31am On Oct 21, 2009 |
Jakumo, I see u are still on your pedagogically-induced high, u ugly dog ![]() I Hate FaceBook |
Re: Nairaland Versus Facebook by steaming(f): 10:37am On Oct 21, 2009 |
facebook is one-sided, entertainment and gossip purely, nairaland is versatile, check out all the sections there, very educating and informative. |
Re: Nairaland Versus Facebook by Nezan(m): 10:47am On Oct 21, 2009 |
NL and facebook to me, are two different sites. While you can share information with friends on FB, NL is purely a discussion forum. |
Re: Nairaland Versus Facebook by whalezy4u(m): 10:51am On Oct 21, 2009 |
To be sincere i prefer NL to Facebook So NL is Beta |
Re: Nairaland Versus Facebook by Pharoh: 10:57am On Oct 21, 2009 |
Both were created to serve different purposes and they are both excelling in that regard. On the basis of the above argument there is no ground for comparison. |

Nairaland-------------------------- Made for 21st century Nigerian tribal wars Facebook-------------------------- Helps to reconnect with old friends. |
Re: Nairaland Versus Facebook by MyJoe: 11:16am On Oct 21, 2009 |
Jakumo: I concur! |
Re: Nairaland Versus Facebook by Xtyan: 11:23am On Oct 21, 2009 |
NL is beta to me than fb |
Re: Nairaland Versus Facebook by Pyramid001: 11:28am On Oct 21, 2009 |
Nairaland all the way. |
Re: Nairaland Versus Facebook by muhsin(m): 11:29am On Oct 21, 2009 |
Like both. |
Re: Nairaland Versus Facebook by tunday02(m): 11:33am On Oct 21, 2009 |
If u want real information, knowledge, jokes and entertainment, Nairaland shouldn't be compared with facebook. They are two different social sites with different motives. |
Re: Nairaland Versus Facebook by Olayinkaoj(m): 11:37am On Oct 21, 2009 |
I pose to be modest on facebook, but here I express my feelings without reservations but not rudely. I also learn a lot on free-to-air forum of nairaland. Now I can install a complete 3metre dish and configure it through what I learn here. |
Re: Nairaland Versus Facebook by Mbeki: 11:44am On Oct 21, 2009 |
Some of you who don't know what facebook is out to achieve ignorantly submits your profile and all your family pictures online. if you don't know, Facebook is a tool by anti-christ to collect the data of as many people as possible, so that they can easily hunt you through you profile. Think you these requirements Your place of birth Your nursery school Your secondary school University where you work your friends all your picture All these so that they can track you down. some idiots on facebook will post anything they do on what they call their wall. I pity them! dem go know wen dat time reach! It's a pity black men don't reason. I love NAIRALAND. facebook Ko!backbook ni! ![]() ![]() |
Re: Nairaland Versus Facebook by suxes2005(m): 11:52am On Oct 21, 2009 |
I spend most of my time on NL. I only visit fb whenever my friend ask me to check her new status. I luv NL, gained alot here esp in d travel session. Thru nl, i met an uncle in usa and we are talkin fine. NL all d way (except d ban thing) SHALOM |
Re: Nairaland Versus Facebook by obstead200(m): 11:55am On Oct 21, 2009 |
I think there really isnt any basis for comparison. they serve different purposes. On NL u get to air your views, learn pple's view, see the issue from all possible perspectives (b'cos all pretexts are droped since no one knows ur face). On FB, u get to hook up with old pals, make new freinds, and generally make yourself look good to the world. |
Re: Nairaland Versus Facebook by nwene222(m): 12:00pm On Oct 21, 2009 |
I prefer Nairaland. Facebook is more like a gossip site to me |
Re: Nairaland Versus Facebook by Genuflect(m): 12:03pm On Oct 21, 2009 |
Mbeki:Voted the most ignorant post of the day. Lol |
Re: Nairaland Versus Facebook by Nestoville(m): 12:06pm On Oct 21, 2009 |
My comparison would be which has been more beneficial. Yes FB is one of the greatest things to happen in this century but truth is apart from networking with old lost friends and being able to hear the latest gossip or see a new showoff its the same ole networking site, however NL is more informative and purposeful. NL is the bomb, FB has very great untapped potentials, maybe Seun can sell Mark Zukerberg some ideas! |
Re: Nairaland Versus Facebook by Bamsyle(m): 12:17pm On Oct 21, 2009 |
Nairaland It offers a dynamic range of topics and issues - a prototype disneyland for all-comers . . . any and every comer can have a bite at the cherry - from movies to music, autos, career talk, religion, sports and what have you . . . and again, though not primarily so, it can also serve as a social networking site . . . That's interesting. Facebook is primarily for social networking, albeit with some intermittent flashes of information . . . 98% of activities on fb can be conveniently labelled "Networking" . . . And that's pretty boring. |
