When Nairaland clocked 5 five years ago, I did a thread of Top 50 Nairalanders (2005-2010).

I wanted to do an extended list but not sure I have the stamina now, so settled for a compact list and limiting it to politics section, my primary section and moderator for two and a half years.

I belong to the second generation of Nairalanders (first generation are those that stijoined and are active 2005/2006; second generation 2007/2008 set; third generation 2009/2010; fourth generation 2011/2012; fifth and new generation 2013 onward) and was super-active until very recently.

I present below my list of 10


1, Eziachi
Pa Eziachi has been on Nairaland almost from inception and was particularly active in the golden years of Nairaland Politics section. Like to be in his 60s or 70s, his age must have been an advantage as, unlike many Nairaland political pundits including this profiler who depend on readings and hearsays, he witnessed major events in Nigeria's political epochs and his narrations are first-hand. He's an encyclopedia of Biafra war, having witnessed and probably affected. Yet, he's not a blind ethnic jingoist.

2, Dede1
Another old guard, not in age this time around, but in terms of length of stay on NL. Highly passionate about ethnic matters but cannot be said to be an ethnic jingoist. He's another encyclopedia of Biafra and Nigerian history in general. God help any ethnic troll that engages Dede.

3, 4play
A well-rounded political analyst, 4play is another member of the golden era of NL politics section. Known for very strong views and insightful analysis, 4play bestrode Nairaland like a colossus until recently.

4, Kobojunkie
It took years before I knew Kobo was a she. She was just too full of energy. She argued with strong men in politics section with her trademark ROTFLMAO. She's highly controversial and arguably Nairaland's most informed female political poster in its 10 year history.

5, Beaf
Beaf belonged to the 3rd generation of Nairalanders and his time even short, but he shook NL politics section in the 2 or 3 years he was around. Known more for tenacity and giving his his opponents knock-outs, Beaf redefined establishment support on NL. In fact, he can be regarded as the father of PDP on Nairaland. Unlike today that PDP supporters have a number of strong voices, Beaf was like a one-man riot then, almost the lone voice in support of Jonathan in 2011, giving opposition posters a hard time. He left shortly after 2011 election

Many, like me, lost the zeal to post with their original monikers.

Trolling is the norm while intelligent debates has become the exemption.

Happy anniversary, Nairaland.

Today is a great day for me cum NL, I was freed from ma ban by Seun and his moderators. On behalf of Seun and his crew, I declare a ban free day, so ya can say ya mind today.
Seun, I was banned illegally by one moderator, pls let's use dis medium to improve in dis aspect, give us warnings before banning. It will make sense dat way.
