What's Wrong With Nairalanders? by RicoBee(m): 1:17pm On Apr 12, 2017 |
This question has been on my mind for sometime. I've been a member of this forum for close to a decade. I remember in those days, I mean those halcyon days, Nairaland used to be a haven of comfort where members who were disconsolate found solace. I remember an instance where a lady asked where Viagra could be bought where she resided. For her to come out with such, she probably wanted to rescue her marriage. The replies she got were heart lifting. People asked her who needed it. She replied that it's someone close to her. No one laughed at her or denigrated her. People came to her aid and offered assistance. Both doctors and those from other professions. She left a happier woman. That was some years ago. Fast forward to 2017, if such a woman had come to Nairalanders for help, I mean that kind of help, you would hear derogatory words like olosho, ashewo, runs girl, etc. We must all fight this nasty attitude of these kind of people. That is a major way, Nairaland as a forum can regain its glory. One Last Shot: For those of you, who may want to attack me with invective, bring it on. You will definitely not be dignified with my response, for they are golden. Peace! RicoBee. cc. Lalasticlala 24 Likes 5 Shares |

Different things are wrong with different people. Some folks are so bitter and negative in their ways, you don't expect good reasoning from them. Since data is now more affordable than 10 years ago, immatured folks will increase in number as well. You have made a good point but I don't expect the trend to change soon because 'everyone has the right to post' what they want on the Internet. 14 Likes |

@OP, I have been asking this question as well for some time now. I believe the forum has been sadly overrun by immature members. These days most of the forumites are cold, judgemental and sadly shallow. Its probably just a reflection of the times. 6 Likes |

The times have indeed changed. Internet is now available for all. Nairaland is now a Haven for all...those who needed somewhere to vent, those who can't get the words our in public, those who are jobless, those who are sad and depressed, those who are still learning words, kids playing adults, etc. A blast is expected when all these come together, a blast is what we've been getting. Don't fret, just learn how to read between the lines...it shows who you're dealing with As such, anyone who brings his or her issues here should expect orisirisi amongst which one or two voice of reasoning may be heard. The diverse thoughts could always be appreciated. 6 Likes 1 Share |

RicoBee: Change is the only constant thing. 5-6 years ago, you don't have to cc Lalasticlala to make the front-page. This new trend alone for me is childish. We used to have many annoying and controversial posters as far back as 2009/2010 (I stumbled on Nl in 2008/2009 but joined officially in 2010). Those were the days of big scandals. If you know 190 (he has more than 8 alternate handles), Idowuogbo, Sexki.llz Bingbagbo something, you won't deny the fact that this issue is a longstanding one. While I won't deny the fact that the number annoying posters have increased, some of us can't stand the anomalies so we give it to them back to back. There are still some sane sections though, e.g. Investment, Agric, Technology, Phone, Business. Family section until recently used to be sane, thanks to yahoo-yahoo boys. Politics used to be positively cr.azy until tribalism sets in. I used to be a fan of religion section. In fact, apart from romance and phone, I spent significant time on religion until atheists decided to make a f00l of themselves by turning every single thread against Churches and pastors. After following their parents to Church on Sunday, they return home, drop their bible, and claim atheist online. Meanwhile Seun contributed to this decay. In 5 to 6 years, the things you complain about will be history, new concerns, new troubles will emerge. If you know the kind of Symbian phone I used to surf this forum in 2010, you'll show pity. These days where parents gift out iPhones and sophisticated tabs to 10 year old kids, be rest assured that the worst is yet to come. 21 Likes 5 Shares |

I can relate with this issue OP. I guess Nairaland is a haven for young and immature cyber bullies now but there are still some reasonable ones. When i read comments, all i have to do is filter the reasonable ones from the unreasonable ones. Guess the availability of cheap mobile phones and low data subscription rate to blame for their indiscretion. 2 Likes |

I remember wonderful people like Sienna, babyosisi, tearoses(she is also chaircover and she has deactivated both accounts), and some other guys. I was always eager to come online to come read their comments. Most especially from the ones in diaspora. The argument were healthy and funny not these unhealthy tribal wars going around. Front page topics were meaningful. Now the forum is really filled with immature people now who come to spill thrash online. 5 Likes |

KanwuliaExtra: Yeah I remember you as Almond Joy! You were crazy, girl! Your posts used to have me rolling on the floor with laughter. So outrageous but always with a ring of truth no one else wants to say or hear. I've always recognised all of your monikers. NL was fun then. In 12 years of being a member, it has so deteriorated. There is so much cruelty and immaturity. |

Poster you never see anything. Nairaland use to to be fun,and educative until shits settled here. We just learn to Waka pass because is becoming a childish forum. Good old days of garri republic, discombulated sexkills, mynd 44, papa 190, mazi omenuko. Mad cow, free cocoa, vivan chinaza, slimyem, idwouogbo, red mosquitoe, okafor's law, so many monikers. I believe they are here with different monikers now. this is not the seun I use to know. Issorite all na change. So the kidults can continue from where we stopped. Bear you in mind that when a reasonable post from old moniker comes in, you will see old members replying. 1 Like |
