Is Nairaland Really Nigerian Minds? by intrepid: 6:43am On Jul 12, 2015 |
Could Nairaland really mirror how some Nigerian youths reason? Sometimes as I read through comments on posts here,I wonder a lot if the comments I read here really mirror how our youths currently reason in Nigeria.And sometimes,it vividly portrays mental laziness and total lack of cognitive aptitude. Poor understanding of basic everyday events and problems we face daily as a country and total inability to profer any reasonable solution/suggestions.Simple current events in the country confuse them and can be seen from their useless comments on Nairaland.Some in an attempt to hide their ignorance,simply turn everything to joke,and one wonders what would happen should they get any public office to hold. Its so pathetic and I want to believe that the folks here ,especially those involved are a minority,nay a minute dot in the population ;I don't really like to believe they represent the youth and the general reasoning. And many claim to be graduates.They cannot read a simple post;they cannot make a simple intelligent comment especially on some reasonable posts,instead they fill everywhere with Smileys and unrelated sidetalks like schizophrenic patients. However,when you hear that they are unemployable,they engage in cyber crime,marrying of grandmothers to get visa,arranging marriage with white ladies etc,one might begin to grab why its this way. Check out the gross errors in simple spelling where many youths write English as it sounds in their native tongue-i don't want to give examples to avoid obvious offence(Didn't they go to school at all?) ,or some useless comments on some of the posts here and try to relate them with the profiles of the posters and you would just shake your head for them--- men and women alike. What really has happened to some of our youths? Are these the leaders of tomorrow? 7 Likes 1 Share |

You're not far from the truth. Too many lazy, ignorant, semi-literate, irrational and bigoted youths here and offline. It's what the social media has caused us. 2 Likes |

It's a really sad thing to note but be rest assured that there are really intelligent guys out there. Those that can make us proud. Have you ever encountered some people here that would insult you for no reason? The ones I pity the most are the ones who are tribal minded and hate others with all their passion. This is a scourge. But I've met intelligent youth everywhere in Nigeria and once these ones are given the opportunity we would be proud of them. |

It is very important to know just like comments from Linda ikeji, twitter and facebook, nairaland isn't an exception... There are people that will always comment reasonable things Some will always be funny Some will always be boring While the rest will be annoying Buh whichever the cases, nothing should be taking too seriously... 1 Like |

donbenedict: No I don't believe that. Intelligence is relative. Every one has an atom of intelligence. There are still youth of honour and sound minds who won't don't have time to spew crappiness on social media. They make intelligent responses. Those are the ones I term intelligent. |

Horlufemi:yes there.. No doubt about that... The reason why I just love social media is because nobody gives a hoot about what anyone thinks, it just goes down d drain like dirt in a sink... When everyone wants to show superiority in d social media, the whole place just turns into a mad house... Tolerance is key when handling people in social media, to avoid verbal abuse. If one insults you, how do you react? You say you are intelligent, buh replying a fool doesn't it make u intelligent? No! Rather u associate yourself in the company of fools and become a fool with them.. If we want to be termed "intelligent" on social media, the first step is to be civilized in comments.... Wisdom is key, not intelligence |

Yes NL is a true representation of d average Nigerian; Religious and ethnic bigots, E warriors, Shameless and Corrupt, hides his weakness and excesses under d umbrella of religion. The Average Nigeria also thinks he/she knows it all and wants 2 force d conformist idea on U The painful tin is dat those online are suppose 2 be d literate ones. |

@ Intrepid. I think nairaland to a large extent mirrors how some of us think in real life, the only difference is, given that it is a largely anonymous forum, most people find it easy flaunting their foolishness as though it were some sort of priceless medal of valour. They can't do so outside the virtual world because they would be ostracised even by their own families for being so dumb. However, you might wanna revisit this line in your second paragraph: And sometimes,it vividly portrays mental laziness and total lack of cognitive ineptitude.I think the coloured should be aptitude and not ineptitude. If you say someone lacks cognitive ineptitude, you are saying that person is very intelligent. 3 Likes |

I think it is. Daily interactions with my fellow Nigerians has reinforced that fact. If there's further need for proof, u need not go further than some of the responses above. A lot of Nigerians are intellectually very lazy and as mentally deep as plate of water. Peace. 2 Likes |
