This thread is to correct misinformation and confusion contained in the thread “Today Is The Longest Day Of The Year...”
https://www.nairaland.com/5939166/today-longest-day-year-there

** There is no shortest or longest day in Nigeria because Nigeria is close to the equator. Close to the equator the days (daylight in a day) are about same length all year round.

** June solstice (called Summer Solstice in Nothern Hemisphere, and Winter solstice in Southern Hemisphere) is the longest day of the year ONLY IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE; it is the shortest day of the year in the Southern Hemisphere.

**December Solstice (called Winter Solstice in Nothern Hemisphere, and Summer Solstice in Southern Hemisphere) is the longest day of the year in the Southern hemisphere and the shortest day of the year in the Nothern hemisphere.

**On June Soltice there is 24hr daylight (“midnight sun”) at the North Pole (Arctic Circle), while South Pole (Antarctica) experiences 24hr darkness. Reverse is the case on December solstice.

Lalasticlala, Seun and the mods, I respectfully suggest you remove that other thread. Otherwise it continues to misinform and confuse lots of people, and gives the false impression that Nairaland is a willful purveyor of misinformation and fake news.
Thanks.

Why are you people so LAZY??!! You don’t have to go to a library like before. You don’t even have to leave your phone. Just type on Google and you still can’t do it!! See below!!
The other thread totally spreads confusion and misinformation and any mod with a sense of responsibility would have it deleted.

Well, don't let people bring out the worst in you here. There are many trolls here, that doesn't make them necessarily bad. If you get angry, then they'll use that as evidence against you.

No need to take things personal. The op in the formal thread have corrected himself in his subsequent post. To avoid misunderstanding, simply copy the original post and strike out and readdress any misinformation. That will be more presentable.

I’m not taking anything personal. For someone who calls himself professor u seem rather obtuse. U want me to copy his unwieldy, rambling, disjointed original?!

I tell u my brother. It just confuses and misinforms, and for what?! Seun, Lalasticlala, mods, there are many young people like myself on this forum. It is quite unfair to willfully have us confused by a thread full of misinformation. It only tarnishes Nairaland as a forum where u can’t believe anything u read, a forum that propagates misinformation and fake news!

You're right. NL should be able to ascertain the correctness of threads especially those they push to front page. At the bolded, I'm a lady though.

Forgive me my sister, just that, unless I see “f”, I assume it is a guy - hehe, even some with “f” are actually guys! As for Nairaland, I think it is quite irresponsible for Seun, Lalasticlala, the mods, to know a thread confuses and misinforms the youth yet leave it up. They think they’re doing me, they’re doing themselves angry
