Marvelck 's Tribute To Nairaland by marvelck: 7:33am On Aug 31, 2012
Nairaland, My Storyland...

Having sojourned for a while,
I noticed from afar,an island,filled with trees.standing over it,like a shade over a rail.
though isolated,it glows in its uniqueness,and inhabited by humans,of various designs, shapes,
sizes,and skills.Having fun, and throwing jokes and banters,both soft and hard,like in a typical bar,or viewing center.

Where many come with loosened tie,and folded sleeves,to unwind and empty
their sorrows in both bottles and plates.and filling our ears with stories of their lives.
many of which are like,tales by moonlight.And knocked right, left and center,either by 190, sexkillz,
acidtalk, Mynd44 or freecocoa.with criticisms that are laced with acid,and released atimes,
with so much venom,On a romantic level.but mind you,no longer from an arm chair,but from the comfort of their couch.

How I wish Naija, can be a bit like Nairaland. where none belong to any clique nor 'cult',
that is hot headed and insensitive,like PDP,or manipulative like an IBB,domineering and vindictive like OBJ,
hot tempered and bittered like a buhari,or quiet but trickish like an abdulsalami.or a jonathan.who bites and blow breeze,like an house rat.

Though faceless like the masses,it's proudly Nigerian,and has a tongue more potent than the 'watch dog'
And created by a young Nigerian.a bundle of skills,and one of many,fired up like a man on a mission.
to provide many with a platform,to tell their stories, and also live their dreams,
like Alice in wonderland...

Re: Marvelck 's Tribute To Nairaland by Tedpgrass: 9:10am On Aug 31, 2012
Nice..........

Forgot some other characters...
-Idowuogbo, Mrs Chima, MrBrownJay, Jaybee...(often wonder if the last 2 aren't the one n the same.)
Of course Onila, Bin Gbagbo with their attention-seeking threads
...............Oooo, oooo......I'm not a target now,am I??

Btw. Where is Iice

-Current affairs/ politics section gentry and thugs: ...........
and the urban legend.....40 laptops mercenaries

-Family section counsellors... maclatunji, chaircover

-Business section Dons, "alleged scammeds'" and the "waiting-to-be scammed" and prowling scammers looking for more victims.
No names sorry!!!

-Diary section full of budding authors


Need I say more......

Like in a typical rowdy Nigerian market.....
Open eye well to behold the "wonder"

Overall, a nice place to be!!!

Re: Marvelck 's Tribute To Nairaland by Nobody: 12:46pm On Sep 01, 2012
YOU are dead WRONG mr Mervelk!!! Nairaland is ruled by Seun and his gangs of young moderators. They r called the Nairaland politicians. Favoritism is the order here. No rule of law, but military style as if nairaland only belongs to them. It belongs to all of us!!!
