How Has Nairaland Changed Your Life?

Many thanks to Seun and all the people that are sharing there experiences here.

Personally, i have gained a lot from nairaland.
I got 2 different Jobs through nairaland, even though i did not do them
and my present location was due to the information i got on nairaland.

In summary, i think its a good place to seek information
it now depends on individual how they use those information.

i used to be a very coy individual until recently i joined the 'Lander's, and now it has added a positive change to my life. i can now face anybody in any conversational topic whatsoever. i'm immensely grateful to everyone who's being a part of this dream.

I used to be pretty addicted to Nairaland, it was beginning to affect my job. Fortunately, I was able to discipline myself to come in here only when it is totally convenient for me.

I have made friends through Nairaland though I am yet to meet any of them physically.

Some my cherished friends are TK, Naje Haje, Deji (Street wise) Siena, JK and a few others. It's been nice knowing these guys and I look forward to meeting them physically someday.

It is also my gate away from boredome, it is an interesting place to relax when I'm bored.

It's a very funny place and I could laugh my head off sometimes with some very funny award winning comedy posts!
I learnt here to tolerate people, some people could be totally annoying, but I learnt to relax, enjoy the game and not take them personally.

I have had good advice here which helped me not to take actions I might have regretted.

They will call UN to ban PLC, that he is a Terrorist on Nairaland and UN we jump in and ban him.  I think UN should try to find out the cause of any fight before banning PLC and his citizens from entering the Nairaland territory.   I used to know UN as not being controlled or influenced by any person or group of persons but everything has changed completely.

Nairaland changing my life?  Until 95% of Nairaland users stop acting like sheep.  If you post a thread or reply to any topic, and once one person insult you, the other 95% posting will be insulting you.

You know, when you see sheep on a queue running, try to keep a wood on a particular point, once the first sheep gets to that point, it will jump up.  Then remove the wood and watch, once other sheep following gets to that point, they will start jumping up too.
Trying to find out the difference here on Nairaland.  It's life sha.

I agree with you
what annoys me is the fact that people come on here talk about religion as if they were there when religions where created
i just hate brainwashed hypocrites and pretencious people!

Dudes, Nairaland is like our own little constitutional conference, where everyone comes with his/her own greviance, complaint, contribution and suggestion to how Naija can be great again. Even though there are topics on issues not concerning Naija, the bottom line most times is how Naija is affected by events.
What has excited me the most is seeing how people still hold on to their little trivial issues and biases. It has shown me that we are still very TRIBALISTIC, SEXIST and SHORT SIGHTED. Ibo's don't like yoruba's and vice versa, hausa's don't like either of the two. Muslims speak 'evil' of christians while Christians do the same in return etc etc. The only difference here is that NAIRALAND has given everyone the opportunity to air his or her views without carrying guns or bombs (except where our brother, Seun's life, was threatened)
All said, it is a very good avenue to get views on what and how we as nigerians think and behave.
A BIG THANKS TO SEUN,

Nairaland has made me to cry and laugh, i have learnt a lot, it has reshapened my mind on how to deal with people and wow!! i never knew we had lots of intelligent Nigerians, i have also met a lot of wonderful people, i am embarking on a small business with someone i met at nairaland.

Nairaland land is a total package for me.

Nairaland has help me in becoming an athiest, i used to be a bit skeptical about my religious beliefs for quite a long time, i learnt a lot from the religion section  and i proceeded to do a lot of objective and extensive personal research about the major religions in the world, i read their history and how they evolved to become what they are now and came to the conclusion that they were all created by strong men to control weaker men by promising false hopes and inducing great fear. All religions are created out of the fear of the many and the cleverness of the few.

n/land has helped me know that another name for m.u.s.l.i.m is a great one and i.s.l.a.m, the great religion.

and Mo'hammad is the "great prophet"
ROFL.

I have met some friends and liars on nairaland.
It has definately changed ma life.

I have learnt so much sha and its amazing, i have laughed and cried and laughed some more.

Got some clues to my research in school in politics section
I haven't picked up a novel for like ever since Nairaland. It is now my passtime, otherwise I would have died from boredom, God forbid
The food section is a place to vent all the anger I have against some kinds of foods
The romance section-- at times annoyinng but funny all the same
I really like the literature section-- very cool unlike other sections

Can not really say much right now becuase i just started to come around.

@poster
i want to believe you set up this blog,

@all
Everyone would never get what they need or deserve from nairaland or life as a whole.
There would always be people who would never find nairaland useful, but i would tell you its a wonderful source of information and shared thoughts, especially for naijas in diaspora.
It has its serious, business like angle and can be comical/hilarious.

I always wished I came up with such a brilliant idea that metamorphosed into something like this.

Seun, this is a huge success, don’t rest on you oars though, there’s still lots to do, but I personally acknowledge this blog for breaking barriers.

I suggest you do a massive expansion drive asking for top class suggestions.

You can market this to industry: banks, telecoms, energy, retail/commercial businesses etc,
You need to make advertising money in order to improve the graphics, presentation, effects, functionality, templates etc,

The business section can be made more reliable so that we don’t have scams going on in nairaland, people doing business need to be fully registered for blogger protection.

I won’t go on and on, because the real advice would come at a cost, not also saying you are not thinking as well though.

Keep up with the good work.
