Lemme narrate somethings for you.
Apple
If Steve Job had asked for your opinion the day he conceived the name "Apple" as a company name what would you have told him?
This is probably how the conversation would've gone.
Steve: I have a company and I want to call it Apple. You: Steve, you're very stupid. The apple we eat? I promise you that company will fail. Steve: Alright, watch out.
More
Steve: This is the logo You: God damn it! Steve are you okay? This apple wey rat do chop half?
Nairaland
Séun: Darling, I have a new idea. I want to build a forum called Nairaland. You: You must be joking. Is Naira a plane? Where in wan land? I been think say you sabi book o! Now, I'm doubting your intelligence. You: Think of another name joor, else it'll fail. Séun: Let's watch out.
After some months
You: Wow! You're serious o! Naira don finally land, but I don't like the design it looks too archaic to me. Make it more flashy. And the logo is too simple. Séun: No! Leave it simple and archaic like that.
5 or 10 years later
You: Wow! Millions of people visit your site? Oh boy, you don hammer o!
Microsoft:
Bill Gate: I want to start up a company called Microsoft You: Micro gini? I dey laugh you. In fact, name am microhard, microporn or microwave. Mtcheeew You: Bill, I like you and I'll always advice you as a friend to use your name or something more reasonable like "God is Good," "The Best of the Best." And so on. Bill Gate: Don't worry, my instinct tells me to go with Microsoft. Bill Gate: Look at the logo I came up with. You: You're not serious. This logo is too colorful and anything that's too colorful is childish. Bill Gate: Abeg, leave am like that. Go joor
Dry Gin
Chelsea Dry Gin: My woman, come. I know I'm high with this schnapps I drank in Chiwetala Agu's house. I want to come up with my own company too. You: Hmmm! Honey stop drinking too much. Chelsea Dry Gin: I have drank and drank and drank and my bone is so dry. So, I want to my drink to be "Dry Gin" You: Mtcheeeeew You: Free me abeg, like my brother Terry G. If you like name am "Wet Gin" no body go buy am.
There are so many companies you'll HATE their names, but the moment they become popular you'll forget how awkward the names were. Money/fame stops nonsense.
The first day I heard of a soccer player called "Messi" I was shock. How can somebody answer "Messi" (Mercy is okay), but now I love Messi more than people with better names like...
I saw another one called "Hazard." I just gave up. I f'ing love him. So, it's not the name, it's what the name can offer.
So, don't be disappointed. After 2-5 years you're allowed to be disappointed.
Tonto Diké
Tonto Bae, I want to become an actress. You: Hmmm! That's good You: But industry guys and directors go bang you scarra. I just dey pity that place. Tonto: Which place? You: Don't worry.
After a year
You: Bae, you've started smoking weed? God forbid! No man will marry you. Tonto: Hmm! You think so, just watch out.
After some years
You: Pastors all my friends are married, even the ones that smoke Oshobgbo weed. Her husband even bought her an iPhone 7. My boyfriend can't even send me a 30 Naira recharge card. Please help me. I'm dying inside.
Lesson:
It's not about what makes sense or what's bad, but about what turns around for good when the time is right.

The Fashion Section alone has 20 Sub forums. I'm working on reducing things. The WETCLEF Zone is my lecture arena. When it's done I'll definitely broadcast it.
Inside my brain After a year, I'll hand that zone over to a management and start something new. Wetclefers are born to diversify, unlike the Nigerian Economy. hahaha!
That's nice.... |

When I was buying and hosting right and the domain name I googled it to be sure I'm safe.
I saw the site you posted above. My mind flew. I thought WETCLEF.com was already taken.
With a pounding heart, I brought out my MasterCard, logged into my trusted domain and hosting company, typed "WETCLEF.com" and they said, "congratulation WETCLEF.com is available." I happily typed my account detail without minding internet fraud. Yeah, I trust the company sha. which site did i post

I want to do night browsing/windows update today.
I have all the sims and I have bought cards for all of them. Please recommend a good night plan.
Don't mention Airtel abeg. I love Airtel, but their 2Gig is staring at me and another 444MB is also staring at me in my second sim.
So, tell me about MTN or Glo.
Guys 'epp me. well, mtn has the worst Night Data plan,
I don't use Glo because the network is not too good here,
try google bro! |

If I use brute force I'll turn NL into my náked dancing forum.
My apologies if I have violated any rules. Rules are meant to be obeyed. God bless.
There are tons of nairalanders who run their respective blogs and have not taken to this dimwitted style of publicity.
take tosyne 2much, monalisa 185 for example. stop trying to promote your blog with someone's blog and if you must, be sensible about it.

Sometimes, I get scared of google, because of information overload. I love hearing it from people that are currently doing it.
Anyways, I'll try a #25 MTN night plan. They said it's 500MB but what I'll do requires at least 1Gig. And some people said the 500MB is Lai Mohammed's cousin. They said it's actually 300MB. I'll try it anyways. legend, don't waste your time with mtn jor!
So why don't you wanna use Airtel? |

I'm only having a discussion, but bad bellé is allowed sha. We hate when someone is about to rise let alone rise above us.
I no gree na in dey tear shirt. You've been heard my brethren. Mouthpiece of the people I hear you. Your job na to come put sand for my garri abi. God will judge you.
Those people you mentioned hit front page at least twice a week.
Because I say the truth, out of 140+ threads I have on NL only two made front page and those two are not things that'll benefit me. They were things that benefited others. When you're being marginalized you need to pull out like Biafra (or try to) or act like everyone else.
If I want to make front page I'll also use google and hijack other people's Top 10 posts online and I'll make front page, but I have decided to be original. Out of all my 140+ posts I have NEVER copied anything from a site. If you doubt, then copy some parts of my posts and post it on google and see how you'll be redirected to Nairaland.
If only you know the amount of people who message me to say thank you for my posts. They tell me how it changed their lives. If you read all these success stories you feel pity for me for not being recognized by making front page. But, as a calm guy, I'll keep calm. Make una enjoy. Where ever I go I either stand out for something good or bad or I back off.
Keep safe!
lol @ bolded… I'll be judged by God no doubts but it will be for telling you the truth in a rude fashion. i stand to gain nothing if you rise above seun, i pray you do. I haven't stung venom at any of the aforementioned because they respect the owner of this forum and promote their's the right way. Did you know also that over 60 of tosyne's initial threads didn't hit FP, he learnt something and has been applying it, so don't get jealous at how he frequent he hits FP.
Did you see Linda on NL displaying such foolish advertisement when she got hers running?
So i see no reason why you quoted me with such pile of shiit and in the fashion you did, to attract the sympathy of gullible folks.
Go learn to script intelligently.
Never refer anyone to your threads.
