TYPE OF PEOPLE ON NAIRALAND

1. ADMIN – These are the gods of Nairaland. They decide whose post makes frontpage, whose post is seen, who is banned etc.. Invisible but powerful and sometimes annoying.

2. POSTERS 1- CREATORS - These people are good at creating exciting topics that gets people talking. they are creative and have a good thought process.

3. POSTERS 2 - THE 'PASTERS' - These people are content creators too, but they are only good at picking news from aother site, blog etc. and pasting it on Nairaland.

4. FIRST TO COMMENT - These people are always fighting to be the first person to comment on any hot topic. For some it’s a coincidence but for many it has become a job. They sit on their computer and keep refreshing waiting for hot topics. When they get the opportunity to comment first, they celebrate like crazy, thanking their first and second generation, their phones, their internet connection etc. You can call them the crazy Nairalanders.

5. SECOND TO COMMENT - For some it’s nothing but for many they get upset because they have been refreshing their browser to get the opportunity to comment first. They are like the biblical cripple man by the pool of Bethesda, who never gets the opportunity to enter the water when the angel comes to steer it. They complain and sometimes curse out on the first to comment for taking their space. Some of them still celebrate their position anyway. They may seem silent sometimes but they are surely there.

6. THE 'SPACE RESERVERS' - This people have nothing to say but just because they feel its a hot topic and want to feel among, they type things like 'space reserved', 'mtcheew','hmmm' or put an icon. When the topic is hot, they just can help keeping quiet.

7. THE 'CALLERS' -- when this set of people want to comment, they call out another nairalander. They go like 'oya Buhari apologist over to you', 'Seun over to you', ‘ where is lalai.. say something‘

8. CAMPAIGNERS - They are either sponsored by a politician or they are politicians. One side supports a politician no matter what bad they do, while the other antagonizes a politician no matter what good they do. Even when 'Callers' call them out, they are still back tomorrow on another post, supporting or antagonizing.

9. FRONTPAGE ADVOCATES - All they do is fight to make sure a post get to the front page, probably because they enjoy its content, it’s their post or they are the first to comment.

10. CURSERS-- These ones have issues with having a civil discussion. They will curse you even if all you say is 'hello'.

11. FIGHTERS - This one’s are always fighting with someone on Nairaland sometimes over annoying issues. They will not stop and will drag more 'fighters' into the fight. They are also always looking for already trending fights to join, which side to support and who to curse out. Many of they are also 'cursers'.

12. BIGOTED - It’s a waste of time trying to sell your idea to them. They are strongly opinionated and would never back down on their belief; they are also out to demean people of contrary opinion or belief. They are mostly found in the religion forum.

13. SIDON LOOK - They don’t comment but they read every comment; actually, comment reading is why they are on Nairaland. No matter how pressed they are, they will not comment. Nairaland for them is like newspaper- you can only read and not comment.

14. EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS - This people are not liked at all. They are very annoying and they post comment that arouse emotion. They seem not to care what you say, they will still annoy you. They enjoy doing it. Some of them have been banned severally but they will still come back with another username to continue their trouble.

15. THE PHOTO TALKERS - This one takes Nairaland so seriously that they purchased a photo editing software to express their opinion. They use funny illustrations and photos to express their opinion. The picture I find most hilarious is the picture of a squirrel raising up its hand with a caption which read ‘ Oh God dash this person below me sense’;

16. LAZY READERS -- They are not on Nairaland to read news, so when your post goes beyond 5 lines, you'll get their ' it’s too long, who will read this' comment.

17. MARKETERS - They are on Nairaland only to market goods and services. To achieve this they pretend to be interested in a topic, offer a lame view and then post another paragraph marketing their latest designer t-shirt.

18. PASSERBY - This one’s love Nairaland as much as to always visit it but have not made up their mind to join.
