Nairaland is sometimes frustrating because of the MODs.

But by the way, who still Facebook nowadays?

It is wrong comparing Facebook to Nairaland, they are different and for different reasons.

Guess the Op is simply after some position and he's swelling heads to achieve this. #yawns.

Martins301:
1. Privacy

Unlike facebook where you have to use your name, upload your pics (which is archived) and post really interesting stuffs to attract likes, comments and friends, Nairaland isn't like that. Only your username (which can be as fake as the smile of a policeman demanding for bribe) is displayed, plus you get to change your profile pic (which can be fake as well) without the previous ones being archived for public consumption. This sort of privacy has given lots of people the courage to freely express themselves and exhibit behaviours they would never dare to exhibit in real life. Take for instance the case of beryl04 supporting gay rights and Depressedguy confessing that he is gay. Am 100% sure they would never do such in real life. Such privacy has also led some people to exhibit clownish behaviours capable of making people laugh e.g PhockPhockMan tit temitemi1 orijin101 and Airforce1

2. Learning & Information

In terms of learning and getting information on different issues, Nairaland beats facebook hands down. Nairaland has different sections and subsections such as politics, religion, romance, family, jobs, education, business, etc that you can learn and get information from. In fact, it has been statistically and scientifically proven by me that the less time you spend on facebook and the more time you spend on Nairaland, the high the level of your awareness and social intelligience.

3. Features

There are specific features that makes NL also better than FB. Some include absence of delete button and ability to quote the comments of other users. On the absence of delete button, I think its good cos it makes people concious of what they say, knowing fully well they cannot take it back, especially once it has been quoted by someone else. Although there is room to modify your writeup, it is still a good thing that ordinary users do not have the ability to delete posts so as to provide evidence and punish frequent rule breakers babyosisi barcanista and emmyw and temitemi1, and thus maintain decorum in the forum.

4. Historical Records

If not for the issue of hackers and data loss that hit the site, Nairaland would still have had the records of 'every and all' posts dating 5, 6, 7 years back. Facebook on the other hand appears to permanently delete your posts that are 6 to 12 months old. Am patiently waiting for October 2016 so I can remind barcanista of how he wrongly predicted or forecasted in March 2015 that PDP would win Edo state

5. Helping Nigerians

I don't know how many people in Nigeria have gotten jobs through facebook but I do know of many that have gotten employment through Nairaland. I also know of one or two persons who got helped with paying hospital bills through Nairaland.

Having used Facebook and Nairaland, I think Nairaland is the place to be for Nigerians. Feel free to add to the list. Like this post if you agree with it and Share if you disagree.

EMMYLASHTINS:
Kk we don hear so make we no chat 4 FB again abi? Kk we don hear so make we no chat 4 FB again abi?

well whoever that wrote this article & the person that made it make front page does not know the purpose of facebook.

Facebook is created to connect friends. It is created to bring back old friends who have lost contact for years, if that friend is in facebook & uses the name that he or she is known with, the person will be available for friends if he is serched for.

When i joined facebook in 2008 i had little or no friend bot until 2009 before i started seing my friends on facebook.

All the features we have in facebook today like chat mssenger was not there in those days. I think facebook added those ones so that they will not be faced out just the way yahoo chat was faced out.

So before we start comparing things we should first of all understand the purpose it serves.

sigh!

did i know u or something?

b!tch get the fork down

ritababe:

I have a question.

If Nairaland was created in 2005 and Facebook 2004, why is it that Facebook is much more better than Nairaland?

Even Mr Seun Osewa can't say such thing.I love NL but its no match with FB

Enjoy ur FP!
