Criticism purifies person as fire purifies gold. If it is untrue, disregard it. If it is unfair, Keep from irritation. It if is ignorant, smile. If it is justified, learn from it.

That is life!

Those who always critcise have a negative attitude in life. they come on forums like this, call on radio stations especially nigeria info; and its all about criticism. That's how they criticise their wives children and almost every thing about their lives. They see nothing positive. football, election result, president speaks, president didn't speak, it rains, it didn't rain. their remarks is all negativity. I run from such people.


I am a positive person.

O boy nah woman teach me bad mouthing o.

My Ex taught me how to dissect people with the mouth. If that girl tongue lash you, you can even jump bridge.

For now I stay positive and quiet so that someone won't say I get bad character.

Criticism doesn't really mean saying something bad as most people always put it.
Criticism which is defined as a way of judging the merit or value of something or someone in an Intelligent way.
So Compliment which is a polite way of praising someone is also a Criticism technically.

As Nigerians i noticed criticism is our second name.
Nigerians are pro when it comes to that. They can go from criticizing politicians,singers,actors,models,movies,intentions,smiles,laughters,write-ups...infact,everything is criticiSIBLE.
Na our talent be that...


For example:










Which kain yeye thread be this sef
Lol grin

To me sha,sometimes i prefer criticism to compliments. @least it would make me go back and do something much better. Afterall the bible says ''...wo to any man if all men speak good of him...''
Nigerians are the most understanding and less critical humans! No NEPA, God dey, No food, God dey, Money in the bank, ATM not working, let's try tomorrow. North Africans can't deal with things we deal with let alone the oyibos. Arabs and Oyibos are more critical that's why u see them on street everyday protesting.

Yes! For me criticisms is easier than compliments. I enjoy complimenting people, but I don't hold back the criticisms either- especially when needed, cause that person is just doing something wrong. Honestly, everybody needs a little criticism sometimes to stay in check. It is sincerely helpful, ignoring whether it is outta beef or not.

Yes as its very common to see lot of critics who will do all they can to sight a person's shortcoming and its very rare to see people who will praise even a man that is worthy of such praise.

vikel2104: It is much easier to criticize than to compliment. Sometimes criticisms are necessary but most times people just do it for the fun of it. Why is it so? Is it human nature?


People with I-can-do-it-better attitude criticize more......proud, arrogant......

humility qualifies those that compliment more.

Criticizing is a bad habit including others as complaining, competing, comparing and contending. I call them metastacizing cancer that kills the beauty of relationship. We must be models and live beautifully.

tsolz300: Shakespeare once said---"flattery is d food of f00ls"

Wise words
a good motivational poster!
I was just seconds away from criticising the post for having Peter Dinklage's image on Tyrion Lannister's quote because I thought they were totally unrelated. Browsing through Dinklage's filmography explained the connection.
"Be slow to criticise..."

It is a common trend in this digital age to attribute quotes of popular person to another celebrity or public figure by embedding the words of the former on the latter. This has been very misleading. Take for instance, Obama's words on a Wiz Khalifa image.

The natural and quite low of us easily critique others;the best and greatest of us easily compliment them.

I am in the first class and will draw inspiration from this to be an easy compliment giver.

Just this evening, my fiancé's people were in my house to discuss some things with my parents. My soon to be MIL came to my room and requested to see the things we (I and my fiancé) bought.I showed her the wrappers, my shoes and Aso ebi materials. She said the wrapper is too bright, my shoe is too high, aso ebi material is too colourful. She complained and complained, the shoe she complained about is nothing near the old ones I have in terms of the heels.How is dark peach wrapper too bright? undecided She even said she should have followed me to the market shocked

Some people don't just know how to compliment, instead they criticize.

Na me wan wear shoe, na me wan tie the wrapper, I like the aso ebi colour, na wetin make me buy am.Old peeps with their wahala grin
