Dear Android And Tecno Users, Now That You Are On BBM…. by dadicvila(m): 9:04am On Nov 02, 2013 |
On behalf of myself, my future wife and kidz, I congratulate every andriod user who has successfully downloaded the BBM application and is now enjoying its unique features. While it’s none of my business who uses what and how they use it, I feel an urge to give you a little bit of BBM education (chill!,we all know it’s not rocket science, but some seemingly easy things are more difficult than rocket science). Lemme stop preaching at this juncture. Here are some practical steps to successfully guide you and help you enjoy your BBM application: 1) You must first understand that BBM is not 2go where you can just sit in your house in Asaba and add somebody in Zamfara. On BBM you add only friends, family members and strangers you know (I mean strangers who share a common interest with you). 2) Please do not by any means lie about your present location. Don’t tell people you school in the UK but you are currently in Nigeria because of the annual ASUU festival because when you claim to be back in the UK, somehow some people will know you are a bloody liar (please don’t ask me how). 3) Biko, don’t talk anyhow oo! Do not threaten people. Babes, do not beg for airtime from random guys because they’ll screen-grab your chats and use it as evidence against you (you will see it on their DPs before you know it). Let me give you a tip—If you must beg, then it should be through a voice note. 4) Please go easy with the broadcast. Not every information should be broadcast. Some people on bbm send broadcast about when they are eating, sleeping and even when they are about to have sex (I wonder what they expect their contacts to do about it). The broadcast function is for dissemination of important and neccessary information…Do not abuse it please. 5) We all pretend to be friends on BBM– some of us are actually friends though, and we remember and celebrate our birthdays by using the celebrant’s picture as DP for some hours (preferably when he or she will notice it). Be Warned–this seemingly irrelevant practice means a lot to some people and their memories are longer than river nile so it will do you good to take note of people who do use your picture as their DP on your birthday so you can reciprocate. 6) When you ping people and it shows an X sign instead of the usual D sign, it means the person is on leave, either forced leave (no money to renew his/her BIS subscription) or unforced leave (he/ she wants to allow his/her fingers rest for a while) or better still, he/she wants to avoid certain elements for a while. So be guided.. 7) Lest I forget, there are people we call monitoring spirits on BBM. They don’t change their display pictures or put up new PMs, they are just like hawks in the sky. They watch and monitor every activity that goes down, they will never ping you (sometimes you even doubt their existence) but they are there. For their sakes, please do not put up personal and sensitive information on your DP and PM. You can never tell what they will do with it. Well, it may interest you to know that for some people, bbm is more of an ego boosting app than a chat app so don’t forget to put up those special moments when you are in places like Obudu cattle ranch, Sheraton hotel and when you are shopping at shoprite. You can also put pictures of whatever you are currently eating or what someone close to you is about eating. If you don’t eat good food, you can download pictures of food online. Just have something to show off with, it’s allowed. Let your contacts just feel your existence. Even if you are not watching a live match like some of my BBM sisters, just steal stuff from twitter or other people and update stuffs about the game on your PM like you are actually watching it… 9) It’s quite important to note that your contacts are able to see what you are currently listening to or watching at every moment. For some of my spirit filled brothers and sisters, please adjust your settings before watching that porn…make una warn una self oo! 10) Lastly, BBM is not an endorsement for idleness or laziness. Some of us are still using it because of the ease it offers. Through it we are able to easily communicate with our families, business associates and close friends. So incase you ping somebody and he/ she doesn’t respond immediately, he or she might be very busy. The device isn’t attached to any body part afterall….A great deal of patience is required to maintain your sanity as a BB user, O sorry, I mean BBM user (they now go together). To my BB friends, please let’s take heart. We know BB is no longer special without that exclusive “M”, but how we go do naaa? Let’s welcome our andriod brothers and sisters with open arms. Stop the discrimination. I am on twitter @tammyDmilanista www.ekekeee.com/dear-android-tecno-users-now-bbm/ 7 Likes |

Let me add my own advice.... 1. Steal DPs with style: Go ahead n steal DPs, its allowed bt its very tacky to use dem almost immediately. Wait @ least a week or two. 2. Its nt compulsory to reply BCs: u might think its a point of duty to reply BCs, maybe wit d annoyin 'k' or some other useless tidbit. Well, its nt. Most BCs are just for info or laughs. I'll add more wen I remember..... |

I see you still speak from a BB user point of view. That feature of showing every tom, dick and harry what song or video you're playing is only available on blackberry phones. Again, why did you direct these rules to android users alone? What about iOS? Are you by any way trying to imply that android users are th uncivilized ones? I see no need for all these as anyone with comon sense should already know them P.S: the times when BBM was seen as a status symbol have long passed and been forgotten. Whether you want to agree or not, BBM is just like every other chat app out there. There are many more even better. Its just more popular. Deal with it. 1 Like |
