At times when I read people's comments to issues on nairaland, I wonder the level of reasoning that abound amongst us.. It's becoming more obvious by the day that quite a number of people simply makes comments just to lurk around and check the number of "likes" they have amassed, so such a mindset makes you wanna play to the gallery..and trust me you can't make a sincere, non-judgmental and objective comment with such a mindset... They simply wanna say what will thrill fellow nairalanders which unfortunately might not be their sincere views..
 Also, I feel some users are continually refreshing the homepage just to be the first to comment . so when I see comments such as "I'm the first or second or third " to comment, such level of childishness amazes me considering the notion that majority the members here are mostly adults... Obviously, such fellas are here to water down the seriousness of discourse here.
Furthermore, I feel some members are just waiting to see tribal -inclined topics so they can start their rantings, insults and finger-pointing. Such fellas only make comments on such ocassions and then vanish once the topic is outdated to resurface wen another of such re-emerges..
Need not mention that some are here just to follow the bandwagon i.e see what is in vogue and then follow suit blindly and childishly..I need not mention some frivolous and needless associations casually formed which people joined unwittingly!
Conclusively, I believe this is a forum where objective, sincere and matured contributions are expected... People come on board Expecting to rub minds, share ideas and read intelligent contributions...I'm sure quite a number of serious minded people are now just nominal members and not bothering to log in again considering the number of times they have been disappointed by the comments they read whenever they logged in.... This observation of mine can't be concluded without saying kudos to the few that have been consistent in giving their sincere and objective opinions whenever they are here! 
So I ask you , what is your sincere reason for making comments here?[size=8pt][/size]

Good observation OP.
Nairaland should be a place where the young minds of our great country, shares and exchange ideas on meaningful topics that can add to us personally or to the country at large.
It should have been a platform where meaningful discussions are made and our great intellectuals showcases their gift to the world, because it's like the Web is the main avenue that links the world together.
But mehn, it's reverse. It's known for displaying our hatred for each other and showcasing how competitive we are on fruitfulless things.

It's not all that bad, personally I've gained something in a positive way. I got to know about nairaland while making research on a particular topic two years back, and MR, I can boast that I got a great point for the topic on this same Nairaland.

What's your sincere reason for creating this thread Your question is almost rhetorical. You were asking a question and complaining at the same time. NO ANSWER

All work and no play they makes Jack a dull boy,you can't be serious all the time,there are times you need that laughter to ease you off the stress and pressure of work.
