It surely is the best evidence for it in the context of a forum where opinions are being thrust about.

I can't vouch for everyone in the list but I think majority of those on it are good at delivering logical and objective arguments that they can back up in most of their arguments, and willing to accept same when another person puts it forth to them.

I do think though that some NLers are confusing being intelligent to having a sharp mind.

There surely are a few intelligent people on NL, but I think majority of the shapest minds are likely on that list. I don't know everyone on NL, so the poster might have missed some.

There are obviously people that take NL as a bit of fun, time-passer or joke that don't engage too intensely in debates.

Some people can not make the list though as they do take NL seriously but yet their arguments only show passion, not top intellect.

Imagine saying Dede1 and Beaf should be put in the same category as, for example, Deepsight. LWKMD 

To this:

Read the debate that follows and then the inevitable outcome

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-444610.288.html#msg6090839

Such comparison of the 2 with Deepsight is like pitching the present fastest runner from Sri Lanka against Usain Bolt.

That would be a joke as he would not even be able to compete with the 3rd fastest from Japan/Nigeria that are still a few notches below.

Dede1:


You can stomp this forum to dead and try very hard to bring other contributors to your dirty level; you shall still not be qualified to attract ordinary mention of your handle name to the group.

Forum is not a place of unnecessary analytical essays or a platform for popularity contests. It is a place where historical facts are stood on their feet and fictitious conjectures are led to rest.

Unlike you who spent much of the time debating about the overage of Nigerian girls, I stick with the political facts about Northern and Southern Protectorates including 1960's Nigerian era. I suggest you stick with the issues on overage or underage of Nigerian girls and stay away from subject matters that are way beyond your imaginary intellectual pedigree.

I have read few posts from you on this trivial issue and it seemed you are apparently disturbed. Do you think people should lose a sleep because of how goofy morons such as you feel about them on this forum?

I meant 'my list' not 'my class' in my above post, first line. I'm posting from phone, can't modify now.

Aigbofa:

Useless list if I may add. What of someone like Bk/babe who is obviously several times more intelligent than some people on this list, that is assuming he actually meant half of what he had written on this forum.

Is intelligence now based on toeing a certain line of reasoning? is that what a sharp mind is all about?

For daring to include Dede1 on this list, I have decided to nominate myself as King Solomon, Socrates and Albert Einstein all rolled into one.

Ileke-IdI:

Ok, atigbo, King SoloSteinCrates

Aigbofa:



And I nominate Ileke-Idi as smarter than Marie Curie except when EzeUche is around.

Beaf:

I clicked on this thread out of curiosity today. Matters like the topic of the thread do not impress me therefore, this is likely to be my first and last contribution;  but I saw a post from Dede1 which called my attention, due to a quote from yourself. You referred to me out of the blue, for some obscure reason (most likely, an insecure or diminutive mentality).

A lot of the time, people like you cannot understand that I genuinely detest foolishness. The easiest way to cause me offense is to display brazen foolishness or wanton lip flapping.

Do not cheapen the Beaf persona name by dragging it into asinine arguments that only highlight your low self-esteem issues.

Types like you are most likely known for nothing outside of NL. I am quite comfortable with my mentality, so; I really don’t care if anyone see’s me as the dimmest bulb, just as long as they themselves are smart. However, I take real offense when a blathering fool steps on my name for no obvious reason.

Chimp brain transplants are going for free in research labs; go get something better than what you have between both ears. As a bonus, you would make a good science research subject on the profound mystery of how fools manage to live, breathe and exist.

Sagamite:

Dumbo, surely you must realise you do not detest foolishness more than me. I am known for that on NL.

It is because of daft posts that I felt your name can never sit in the same class as some people on that list.

Your village mentality that led you to blind support and promotion of GEJ, which for example led you to be allocating any thing positive in Nigeria to GEJ within a month of him taking office without any facts on the ground he had any hand in it. The fact you can not see anything he does as wrong.

Another that comes into mind is your daft insinuation that Abdul-Muttalab's father must have been aware of his son's plan to blow up the US plane. That was ridiculous enough, but you showed your asinine mentality when you compounded this by saying Sanusi the central bank governor might also be involved since he was the father's friend and they used to work together in First Bank.  You told us to wait and see. That the CIA would soon start investigating.

Then in your cretinous world, you were talking about USA invading Nigeria because of that attempted bombing.

These are the things that show you do not have a cutting edge mind that is usually formulated with facts, objectivity and analysis, not arrant conjectures, emotional rants and bigotry.

Honestly, Ileke-Idi needs to be flogged for thinking you had any brains in your head.

I don't even know whether to caution you or sit back and keep enjoying it   

In any case, let the mudslinging stop o or else  . . .

And a quick one: why are Nairalanders usually at their creative and grammatical best when e-fighting?

It's one of the qualities of the so-called sharpest mind. . .abeg leave them with their e-fighting.i can't believe people are here fighting over nothing as if nL is some kind of award winning stuff.o ma se o !

Sagamite:

Fighting ke?

More like oppressing if I must say.

I am playing the whole brass band instruments.

It is worthy of playing when compared to those 2.

If my intellect is compared to a footballer, I would control the game to a point I would be heading my own crosses.
