On a fateful friday i entered a train from a metro station actually heading to Ajman from Dubai. I was in a hurry to get off the train and enter a bus going to my destination and unknown to me my wallet dropped off. It was when I want to get a bus ticket I noticed my wallet was nowhere to be found.
I was mad cos my money and IDs card are all in my wallet. I was helpless cos I am new here and know nobody, the slogan here in Dubai is always "nothing is free in Dubai ". Cut all story short I reached home from a divine helper but without my wallet.
The next morning not feeling happy I logged on to my Facebook account only to find a message asking if I lost my wallet. I replied and that was how I actually got my wallet.
What really happened was that the lady saw my wallet and going through my ID she searched for my name on Facebook and seeing that my pic is the same as my ID pic, she sent me a message to confirm.
I know if I didn't use my real names on Facebook my wallet would have been dead and buried, although the money was not there but my vital IDs and sims are intact.
Mods please share for people to learn. Thanks.

Is not about you using your real name. Your wallet was found by a good person. If not,as soon as the money was no longer there,your wallet next destination is Dustbin.

This is why i am 100% transparent in a faceless world because im too clean to start hiding pics or real names..though i have learned something from your experience cos my facebook name is slightly different from my main name not because of anything else but i have not officially changed from Kadiri to Olatokunbo.

Most people who hide identity online are sinister in their ways..quote me anywhere

Only immature and low self esteemed peeps post expensive lifestyles on facebook, 50% of such pics are with borrowed items too

ad84ada:

A buddy of mine got kidnapped in port Harcourt(random kidnap) and the first thing the kidnappers did was to check their profile on Facebook to evaluate how much they will charge for their release.
Anyone related to any politician is to be killed because the kidnappers are angry at politicians who used and abandoned them.
It was hell for the ones who used their real names and also have pictures of expensive lifestyles.

So OP
It doesn't work in every situation.

my cousin sent me a request the other day, I Didn't accept because I never knew it was her... imagine the name.. ' dhat cute bae called totoranking'

INSIGHTFUL

Huh

Shukusheka:
They choose to reveal their identity. Nairaland was created so can have an online character or personae without revealing your real identity.

wow the girl try for going through such stress searching for you on Fb

Prevent am na, wen next you lose your wallet or something more important, you go go find am all by yourself

Rapsino:

We r not friends at all.. That's what surprised me cos she can access my pic. I think there is a way to prevent that right?

Yuh mom's at home praying for God to bless Chiamankpa Chinanuekpere Godwin... And you are on Facebook answering Mhizz strawberry la diva pwincess... Yet You are complaining God don't want to bless you... My dear the angel wey carry yuh blessing don find you taya

It cuts both ways. But all in all I think it best that u be the one who manages your image, your brand. If u use your real name, be EXTREMELY careful what u post.

na so them be o, always the first to point out other people's mistakes

I would advise against having a Facebook account unless you have a brand to promote via social media.
You're more likely to lose your job due to the things you post/like/share than get one.

metro between Ajman and Dubai does not exist unless you mean road transport

Well almost 95% of ladies use fake names because they use social media platforms like facebook etc for olosho activity (prostitution)

You people will not kill somebody on this nairaland. I nu kwa. What are you saying?

I guessed the so called lady compensated herself with the cash..like you said "nothing is free in dubai"

maasoap:
Well, many people used their real name but the spelling is something else.

I know someone that lost a prospective job after scaling through all steps because he spelt his name as Horlaniyi instead of Olaniyi.

The onus is, no matter how much you preach to these set of people, they will never accept it's wrong.

Na so you go see Itz Harnah Jorhnsson

nazablossom:
Very important,.some will use their real name with wrong spelling. I saw somebody that bears kehinde but spelt it as kehined, I was like.... Another person that his name started with I used L instead. Facebook is not all about posting pictures but for easy identification using your real name, where you are from e.t.c.
