PoliticalThuG:
Ever since i began gracing this section, all the so called stories i have read so far were stale and unteresting..

When are the writers gonna come up with good stories that will suit my taste?

U guys need to up your games..plz.

Better still, i can teach you guys how to write good stories if you wish to learn, thanks

Eze2000:
In recent times, there have been a lot of complaints and criticism on here about the lack of quality work from authors. Hitherto, I have made no comment on any of these issues but today, I break my silence due to a very insulting one that has popped up (though my attention was drawn to it late).




This guy who parades himself as e-Thug had the audacity, the rudeness, the discourtesy, the idiotic boldness to open a trend and call "All NIGRALAND AUTHORS.... IDIOTIC AND LAZY!", Offered to teach us how to write!

Well, here is your reply.

Firstly, writing is one thing but story build is a whole new thing. One can be a good writer, a wonderful speaker ever, but a terrible author....fact!

On the issue of authors, though, there are authors and there are fakers, there are even learners and hard workers who never just get it right. But one thing is for sure, writing an ordinary story with a lot of copying is easy but a very good and original story will take you lots of time (months even years...Ruthless Betrayals, my first book, took me nearly 2 years) and lots of headaches! And then when you finally get it out and post it here, everybody and his blogger brother copy it in seconds and you find your work popping up in different colors all over the internet!

And you wonder why there is a lack of quality works here!

Listen again. Each year or so, Nairaland does a beauty and handsome contest...you follow? Mr. Nairaland and Miss Nairaland. Not once have they done a contest for authors..no reward or recognition, we even get banned by bots a lot...the thing has frustrated me twice, I abandoned my previous thread due to it. It took a direct call from Repogirl - God bless her gentle soul - which was supported by many authors including me, before our stories started making front page once in a blue moon.

Yes, sir, there are very fine authors here who entertain for free with original stories. Now begin in low gear and you got the likes of 'godmother' with her command of the British English ...keep going and you got the like of safarigirl who takes romance and action to a new level even as she studies law in a university ...still keep going and you'll get old Frank with his magic spins and if you are very lucky, you could pass me along the line to the likes Larrysun and her majesty Repogirl the old gods of this section.

Did I mention simonhabby, sorry he's retired now and off in South Africa with a new project, this I know from our last conversation. Zukky77, who moved on to become the architect of Globalruns is in China right now, too rich to write again...thses are just a few i know well.

Nairaland is near empty of golden talents right now and the economy has a lot to do with it as we established authors do not have the time to kill anymore and so what you got here now are 'eager beginners' and from my point of view, they are not too bad, every skill begins from somewhere don't they? My first book was crazy, but simonhabby saw my talent all the way from South Africa when I was set to quit writing and reached out to me. I picked up my pen again and never stopped till now.

We evolve, all authors do, but when people like you go around dishing out harsh criticism, that inner fire that keeps us burning dies. Have we asked you to pay for our works here? If we did none of those works would make front page in 100 years of trending.... I know this for sure. cos i got two trends where I promote paid books, very good ones too, each is $4 in the USA.

Unfortunately for you, Mr PoliticalThug, I am a confident author and so on behalf of all Nairaland Authors, I will now teach you a lesson...are you hearing me?

Get you school bag, an 80 leaves notebook and a pencil, white socks and brown sandals too, go to this trend, 'FOUR SHORT STORIES by Eze2000, and sit your ass down. But first make a choice of the four books you see there, the one that suits that insatiable taste of yours, then sit down and watch, do not allow anyone charge you a penny and don't rip over my table while in the class.

The topic of the lesson I will teach you is .. always watch your language when you walk into a new house.


My current trends are always on the front page of this section but in case you come here at night and miss your way just tap this link to go where I want to see you ..

Audios!

PoliticalThuG:
for the past 3 days now, the so called short stories thread only got two comments.. What does that connote? Gerrarrahea mehn

Eze2000:


like I pointed out before, I abandoned my last trend which is just like it so most people think I'm faking or about to make it a paid work like normally do. write half and ask them to pay when they are hooked but once I get going, they'll come. however I got most on whatsapps and the voting has not stopped even on email.

But wait Mr. e-thug, u seem too full of shit.

How about I abandon this new trend and you me and 'godmother' get together in one single trend, one story, one pen. let's see your creative skill is as forthcoming as your mouth.

Join me alone today if you please.

A short story, 1500 words, time limit 24 hrs. new story ...new content. You write, I write, the whole nairaland votes the better. If any of us copies, they will catch the person. they are smart here.

You will not win this as u have pissed off.

Own up or shut up..

PoliticalThuG:
you abandoned your former trend... Thats how you lazy writers use to do.. They will start a story, to update na wahala.. They will update once per week.. When i used to write before my retirement, i updated my stories 5 times a day. But what do we have now?


In a bid to create stupid suspence, you end up losing your readers with your sluggish updates..

Eze2000:


Then teach me how it's done and stop wasting my time with your worthless rants.
Oh, wait! You write? Really write?
Send a link, if you please. I'll never heard you even by mistake. And the day u start buying data for me or paying my bills, feel free to criticize my sluggishness at getting on the net.

And by the way, nairaland has a problem with bot bannings, perhaps you haven't noticed because you are even sluggish at lazy at reading updates others write. When these bots get ahold of you it's maddening. long updates are removed and you get banned for your troubles...in my case, I left to mind my own business, leaving Seun to his. Go to the trend if you doubt me, one of the modes left a message there.... 'unbanned' he said but by that time it was too late for me to go on. (3 short stories by Eze2000)

So u are retired now that I've called you out? I think u should retire your mouth as well. Very important because you talk too damn much, sir, and yet say nothing useful.

If you were in class to really retire like simonhabby or repogirl, you would take a moment to show us 'lazy authors' what a 'pompous author' can do.

Authors like Larrysun who retires all the time would have hit me with a dazzling short story by now, but u.?

"You are becoming like an old woman. Talk, talk, talk and no action!"

Mr. Thug.....Political thugs never retire. Put up or shut up.

Your enemy truly

Chumzypinky:

lol, my guy has bcome speechless...
Eze2000, thanks for rendering this interesting dude speechless. One coke for u

EmperorLee:


Lmao, i feel your pain bro, I really do.

If you had mentioned another story, i for no fit get mouth make excuse, buh Tarasha wey you mention na hin we go use do case study. Na Oyinprince be the author, and here are some of the reasons why he hasn't been consistent with Tarasha's updates.

1)Dude is a student, he just resumed for the semester couple of weeks ago, asides from the fact that he was still battling with settling back into the system after Xmas break, He also has numerous school works to deal with, par example; Tests and projects.

2) He has issues with the device with which he is updating the story.

All these and more was were what cornered him into deciding to halt updates on Tarasha until recently. Bro, trust me Oyin is not a lazy writer, it's just that right now, he has a lot to deal with and nonetheless, he is still trying to keep up with 3 updates per week and here you are, still complaining.

One thing for sure bro, even if you update 5 times daily, readers will still long for more, readers are never satisfied and that's one thing every writer should understand. In as much as every writer bare that in mind, readers should also endeavour to be reasonable and understanding. This thing no dey put food for writer table now, it's just their passion and they are trying to entertain us with it, the least we can do is to be reasonable with them and understand that they have their own private lives and issues to deal with.

I really understand where you are coming from, but you also should try and understand the writer's situation.

No writer is lazy, No story is not boring, we all just have different preferences and taste. All in all, if you don't like a writer's piece, do well to criticise him/her objectively or quietly leave his/her thread alone. Live and let's live, bruh.

OGWaheedi:
