₦airaland Forum

To me Nairaland is an avenue to be entertained, gain valuable information and news, get more vivid insights into life issues and in certain cases increase in knowledge and understanding as regards certain intellectual and academic issues.

This means that on a personal level I can say that Nairaland has affected me both positively and negatively. . . nevertheless the important however is that a matured mind needs to find a way to block out and filter out the negative effects.

Overall, I have observed and it suprises me that its easier for people to throw insults and try to assume a position of superiority rather than to actually listen and gain insight from another nairaland member who is in a better know how of the topic and issue at hand.

Personally I have noticed that I am not always right on every issue I comment on, hence i have come to teach myself to swallow my own pride, take corrections, edit my postings accordingly and in some cases even publicly apologise for making the mistake.

Hence my questions are:


- Why do we people prefer to insult others rather listen and learn from what they are saying ?

- Why do we people assume that we are always right even though thats not even humanly possible ?

- Why can't we people have a discussion in which we listen, we pause, we think and then we respond ?

- Why are certain posters unnecessarily dogmatic ?

- Why do we not realise that others are watching and learning and observing our traits ?

- Why do certain people have multiple IDs ?

- Why do we prefer to continue to speak and post on certain topics of discussion, even though the best thing is to actually be quiet and listen to what others are discussing ?

- Why do we assume we know everything about everything and yet do not really know anything ?

- Why is it that some people are pretending to be who they are not ?

Question should be Why do you blame America and Europe for ALL the woes in your life?

Why don't you have question marks behind your questions but full stops? Sebi you take corrections?

- Why do we prefer to continue speak and post when the best thing to is actually to be quiet and listen to what others are discussing.

According to this set, intelligence is determined by how much you post.

- Apologies about the question mark thingy, i seem to have a natural knack of focusing only on just trying to get across the information and not really bothering about rules of grammar.

- Correction taken and original post has now been edited with suggested corrections.

- Thanks for the correction all the same.
