Sexxkillz:
Having a group isn't bad like I said. It's passion. Natural. Introducing money into this competition made it dirty. If you remove money from this equation, there'll still be groups, with less dirt, because there's no monetary prize.

Common shush!!

larrykane:

larrykane:


pambot , please swerve you don't matter .

zicoraads:
I know Seun. Y'all should kiss the money in subsequent editions goodbye

larrykane:


I am not against forming a campaign group either but why have a trademark and brought it to nairaland , most groups discuss on WhatsApp and strategize . they made others formed theirs , dividing the forum . members of groups defending one another even when they know one of their member is wrong . the AWON WEYREY group is a disease .

ShaqFu:
It was just as dirty. As the year goes by, it gets worse. I'm telling you.

Remember almost all the main contestants in the 2014 edition, deactivated their monikers and came back with new monikers.

This dude has totally lost it... and by the way, it should be "bring" and not brought.

Even the very country you are a citizen of isn't completely united, so no one is responsible for dividing the forum. It was never united and it's only normal for people to form cliques as they please. It's called a freedom of association and it's a fundamental human right. Do you need me to provide you with a link to the Act?


Just out of sheer curiosity though, which of your personal problems was caused by the group so we can address it.

kwencypresh:
you are just frustrated

don't worry we will consider adding you to Awon Werey









don't bother quoting me

JeffreyJamez:

LordScent:


[b] Since the title of this thread sounds like a debatable arguement, a fair one at that, i will like to plea my case against the Op's motion.


As would any competition, one mainly decided by votes, canvassing and campaigning can not be undermined - a major influencing factor. Those two highlighted are as good as a dead horse without proper coordination and strategizing which can only be achieved on a platform easily accesible or less difficult to an existing platform (A case of nairaland and whatsapp groups).


That simply is the logic behind having a whatsapp group as a contestant. It further enhances your chances by presenting a common front ( your team members) and having the opportunity to plan and strategize. That sounds logically admissible to any sane man. Where hunger and poverty comes from is a clear case of asking the pope if viagra works well. (we all know there is more to that assertion)

**************-**********************************
Now to the Op's real headache.


In recent times, certain cliques/ groups have been more pronounced for reasons not far fetched. Take it or leave it, nairaland is like the world stage everyone comes to play on, we all return to our various cubicle at dawn. It is not a crime to accomodate few social acquaintances in that cubicle. Its all boils down to your choice.

As far as i can tell, the core objectives of the various groups the op highlighted may differ but it is no gainsaying to state that coming together of a group of people that met on a common platform decides to create a group to further cement the bond of friendship (that which comes with lots of opportunies, cultural interactions, and mental exposures) is/was not borne OUT OF POVERTY MENTALITY. ....


And that is why today, i personally belong to multiple offline nairaland group for various purposes (Notable causes i must add). There are many groups out there but the fact that these ones are socially/leisure inclined makes them more pronounced in settings such as pagentry, trolling, sexual discussions and what have you.


SUMMARY: You dont have to belong to a particular group to win mr or miss nl, but you need a group of committed individuals to make your dream a reality. Last i checked, bots dont campaign.




(DISCLAIMER:: I have only spoken as regards the idea behind group thingy or forming a group as an offshoot of nairaland interaction, definitely not about the nature or behaviour each of the groups has choosen to exhibit on nairaland or offline)



Cheers.

larrykane:



finally you refute you are less dumber than nairalanders thought

You can't even try to type a coherent line...

Sadly, you are just another coward hiding behind an alternate to seek the attention you would never get offline.

Common puppet keep entertaining us all.
