For me, It has affected my life positively and financially, i make money on nl up to date and I'm serious about this...

See ya life? Ya whole life inside Internet. Na God save u say u no turn applicant . Nl is a great and can be addictive. Softly softly sha. I work for myself so ...am a happy camper

NL has the same effect facebook use to have on me - 90% facebook, 5% lunch 5% Work Facebook got blocked on the firewall but not nairaland

You need to draw a line oo, if they fire ur nairaland browsing yansh, Seun no go send you oo. Highest you'll post a topic about how nairaland got you fird and some people will sympathise with you. Careful, a word to the wise is enough.

I have been a member of Nairaland since 2005 or 2006 and I came here from the Nigerians in America forum.
I use Nairaland for news and information gathering and sharing for the further development of my own online news media and information company and the conversations help me a lot in message development for dialogue in script writing and narrative literature. So, Nairaland is an integral part of my office work from which I earn money to pay my bills and pay salaries too.
What most people don't even know is the fact that the most popular Nigerian international film festival, the annual Eko International Film Festival (EKOIFF) was founded here over my controversial post on https://www.nairaland.com/309929/two-thumbs-down-lagos-international.

Do you still wish to have access to facebook ?

its has not affected me negatively though but has slowed dwn my wrk. presently, hv some wrk 2do but its grounded & patiently waiting for my attention.
i nairaland to burn dwn stress n tension.

My immediate boss onex asked me if money is been shared on NL, because anytime he luks @my screen wt he sees is NL.

NL is messing up my life right now o, like seriously. In the past it was hi5, then yahoo messenger, later facebook(the worst), then my blackberry, and now I have managed to outgrow those addictions, the one am suffering from now is NL.every $orning b4 I get up I must come here for latest happenings in naija,the tin tire me o. Even though am a silent user, not posting all the time, but I still spend close to 2hrs a day on nl

I would have stayed away from Nairaland a long time ago. However, I found that I would still lose some time from work without Nairaland because I would end-up being sleepy after some time. It has been 50:50 for me, Good:Bad.

Nairaland helps me douse the stress at the workplace. Anytime I need to unwind a little, I open up NL website to read topics posted by Nairalanders and to make my own contribution.

Most of the time I end up laughing at the funny comments posted by fellow Nairalanders and this makes my colleagues to ask, 'what funny?' and I answer them, 'comments by nairalanders on different issues'.

Can you pls enlighten me on how NL make money for you. Sincerelly I wouldnt mind. foladesunbo@yahoo.com

This site is highly addictive. The last time i felt this kind of "pull" was when I joined Facebook some years ago. The company i work for was sold to some Jordanians who immediately blocked everything including google maps (WTF??) I thought i'd never see NL again but surprise, surprise, i still have it and i can say i put in at least 2.5 hours on NL within my 8 hr work day.
Luckily for me, if our IT dept looks they won't see any history of everyday NL visits because the new Internet Explorer we have here has what is called In Private Viewing and from that private tab, I can go to NL anytime and there'll be no cookies or history of me being there.
I'm at work now sending this message instead of doing my work! NL wan kill me

My Former coy's Network Administrator blocked Nairaland 'cos of me

Someone qood should Help me link up with a job plsssssssssss

Oh, NL saved my life....

I have been coming here for years but only joined this year when I wondered what was hidden behind the sexuality wall....

If u r bored and u need a good laff, NL is it
If u have been looking at numbers on excel and going nuts, NL is it
If u can't afford lunch, NL is it
If ur gf/wife gives u attitude, NL is it
If NEPA arrests ur area, NL is it (phone browsing)
If u r abroad and need latest happenings, NL is it (really had a good time during occupy Nigeria though away from Nigeria)
If u wanna feel the pulse of the nation, NL is it

In a day, I put in about 3hrs of NL....though at work maybe 0.5-1 hr

Guy you be agent ni? abi you dey sell Land for NL?

What work?

Nairaland did take it's own toll on me- work performance. After I was at the verge of been let go, I swore commitment to myself regardless of NL. There's time for everything, I log in now and then but it I "concentrate" when working on a project or report, even if it's a HOT argument, I'll ignore it for the time being and FOCUS, when I'm done, I'll go back to NL's chest beating...lol

hmmmmm
dats coooooool

You should be using NL to improve your English or at least your communication skills.

Use a ? Add me on bbm. P

WHAT was your grade after graduation ?

Lol, I haven't missed a meeting yet. The only reason it doesn't really pose a challenge to work is because my work is online. So as I open google chrome, NL is in one window.

I actually have nothing doin with myself these days. My folks keep wondering why i'm always staring at my phone screen and laughing hard. All thanks to NL romance section.
NL make brain die

Even if your network admin locks down all proxy sites n ports, no matter how snooky he is, he won't see a trace of packet when you use the tor browser.

OTOH, don't get sacked cos of NL, shiit aint plausible excuse.
