nl.

From my observation, NL is far more interactive than Facebook. Nigerians on Facebook tend to be more "civil" and "distant".Some are attention seekers who just go on there to advertise their pictures,comment on their pictures and bring up dry topics to chat about.NL on the other hand, is more realistic.You can express yourselves to the core amongst fellow 9ja peeps,curse,swear,joke,laugh and sometimes, meet some great minds.I wish Seun would allow facial pictures to be displayed on the thread itself (instead of the profile page).It would make this forum more interesting. . .lol

I spend more time on Nairaland becos I enjoyed reading some interesting msg frm other memberhere.

Nairaland of course! but come to think of it,Nairaland seem to me to have remain at the particular spot it was in 2006 when I joined.There seem not to have been any improvement in the aesthetics, technology and business aspect   of the site.

Please do not get me wrong, but by now Seun should be amongst the richest Nigerian living but this is not so because he seem not have taken advantage of the business side of this wonderful product he has.

If I own Nairaland, Mike  Adenuga wouldn't think twice if I told him I'd love to marry bella!

I prefer Nairaland to Facebook for very good reasons.
Nairaland is more beneficial to Nigerians and Nigeria than Facebook.
In fact, Facebook regards the majority of Nigerians using it as liabilities.
They said that they are not contributing much to the revenue of Facebook.
Too much Nigerian GIGO on Facebook.

Used to spend a lot of time on FB. now FB is getting boring and I guess I can learn a lot on NL. so expect to see a lot of me

Nairaland

The first tab on my browser is always NAIRALAND, kini won she ni facebook? fb is too boring for my kinda person, I'm d info type not people type.  

NAIRALANDERS ,

Eku ise!!!!
Ndewo!!!!
Rankadede!!!!

i was once addicted 2 nl like i cant spend 10secs off it but gradually fb took my passion. reasons: most ppl on nl fake ids more than ppl fb. am not sayin ppl dnt fake on fb but its much on nl, bt i still love nl but not like b4

I login way more on facebook than nairaland, but average time spent per login is way more on nairaland.

As far as comparisons go, it's like comparing apples and oranges. I use social networking sites like facebook and twitter to share content I find interesting without necessarily wanting a discussion on them, to keep in touch with my network of friends, family and associates, run campaigns, promote events, raise awareness of whatever I'm up to. I also use them as a big part of my personal branding.  

I use forums like nairaland purely to get information about happenings and trends, in this case Nigeria, while occasionally contributing.

Facebook including twitter are nothing more than frauds anyway(just like the USA stock market). Soon Nigerians will wake up and see we
can compete globally just like any other powerfull nation.

Spend almost same time on both. NL updates me on latest happening in the areas that interest me. FB helps me keep in touch wit peeps.

The original question was where do you spend time most. I don't know if the poster intended to make a comparison btw facebook and nairaland though. I personally do not see any reason to compare the two of them because they aren't in the same category. Facebook is a social site and nairaland is a forum.

They both have their uses, so for those of you comparing the two of them, there's no basis of comparison. Personally i spend more time on facebook than nairaland when i want to socialize and when i want to discuss issues or get information, i pend more time here.

In facebook, you get to see who you are talking to, find lost friends and make new ones, hence the essence of a social site. On nairaland on the other hand, you get to discuss about several aspects of life, get information on different things and share ideas, hence the essence of a forum.

On nairaland though, more than 80-85% (if not more) of the people you talk to, you don't know. While some people hide behind so many words, others take advantage of the anonymity to talk rubbish, insult people and generally show how immature and insecure they are.

Nairaland is a very wonderful site and i personally have introduced so many people to it. I hear people say facebook is very boring and i agree. I guess that explains my earlier explanation on both of them.

Yeah, people! You know why you guys prefer Nairaland? Because facebook doesn't allow for free expression on views for fear of losing friends, losing your rep, or in the worst case, being penned down for assassination(esp for political commentators) or kidnap :-). Yes, that's right. NL is where i spend more time.

cant compare the two, nairaland is a forum, facebook is a social network site. compare nairaland with other forums and facebook with sites like tweeter. that said facebook is more personal and people know who u are so u really have to behave urself and watch ur comments. nairaland is just a place where people fake personalities.

ever since i discover nairaland, i spend much time on nairaland than facebook. nairaland is more informative and educative.i enjoy the political aspect of it. seun dalu

it's nairaland ooh.i spent more time on nairaland sometimes i just wish i can keep myself off nairaland for a while but i cant sometimes i even dream of replying to someone post on nairaland.i only spend 5% of my time on facebook.85% on nairaland.while i share the rest on other site daily
