There have been a death on Nairaland. A real death and not a Papermoon one

and it just made me realize how this forum really is more personal than we would like to think. It's crazy and scary how emotional everyone is and it's just really hard to block it off or put up a wall to insulate yourself. Recently I've been looking at members profiles and just reminiscing but at the same time, trying to grasp what exactly death is. Is it like saying goodbye to someone you know you may never see again even though they are still alive?
Does the fact that we know someone is alive keep us from mourning their loss even though we know that we may never see them again?
Will the childhood friends that our departed one lost touch with many many years ago ever be able to mourn him?
It made me think of some of my childhood friends that I may never see again or even recognize if I see them. Is there anyone dead among them? What is the meaning of death? What is the meaning of a loss? Can you have one without the other?
Without minding all these philosophical questions, I think death makes us appreciate those that are with us and around us more and i've been noticing that attitude on NL.

This thread is just to help keep that spirit. It is a means for people to appreciate and recognize each other. Maybe apologize to those you argue with constantly or just acknowledge them and appreciate them. It is also a thread for people to note previously active Nairaland members that they miss.
This thread is for us to accept the fact that Nairaland is indeed a family, although it is the weirdest one I've seen.

I appreciate you Oyinda, FlGators aka Ilekeidi, Mukina2, Spikedcylinder etc

Previously active members I miss? My groupies No2atheism and Toyosi20

hahaha you're cute. but yea, where is no2atheism? and where is your wife Toyosi?

I miss lots of people but currently, I'm missing Mohawkchic. And today, I'll appreciate my archenemyfriend davidylan.

Mukina and Dayo - always there when you need open ears, you can talk to them about anything, they dont tell you what you want to hear. They say the truth point blank. Even tho it hurts sometimes

Busy_body - Just take care of yourself for me. We gotta meet someday. There are some people you meet f2f but can never be loyal and trustworthy as those you might have met on the net. You're a strong woman, tougher than nails. You know you have my respect and love anyday anytime. No, I am not saying this because of my two sexy boos in superman diapers  . Ok ok, maybe.

Chiogo/ Oyinda - These 9yrs old size -5 gals . . . . I appreciate your brilliance and personality. You're you and that is enough. Both of you, just send my my Christmas gift. I want that new mansion in Daytona beach. I said you were both nice and humble, can that atleast get me $2 walmart bubble gum for christmas?

Katsumoto - You already know. When I need someone to dress up as an elf for the Christmas show, I'll holla  

D-Sense - My lil brother. Yes, lil. You know I loff you like that fat kid who couldnt stay away from burger kind. Ok, so I havent had the time to tell you that I cant tell the diff when you speak Arabic and when you speak yoruba. Your yoruba is terrible, but I can help with that lol.

KoboJ - If you be man, I for down pay for your dowry by now. No wonder dayo does not stay far from the apple pie. We all know he doesnt care about politics  


ChineyeN, Chyz,  Edem - calm, breezy, hurricane. Sometimes the hurricane just needs to cool down, we all want to stay and listen to the wind, not run away from it.

Bluetooth - Lol you're aiight. Funny. You try so hard to be serious, very funny sometimes. You wrinkle your eyebrow so hard, yet you still wonder why it turns white at the end of the day. Well you can play Santa this year, if Kat agrees to play elf.

Stranger/ bkbabe90/ tpia - ROTFLMAO. They never cease to make me laugh. I often wonder where they get their jokes/ideas from. Esp stranger, too funny.


DapoBear/ El Razur  - Keep being you oh. Your likes makes me proud to hail from Ekiti.  Dapo, very calm. El Razur, too troublesome. Best Christmas presents ever! Just sow up at my door in nothing but Ileke-idi around your waists. Ok ok, maybe lion cloths too. We can discuss tea and sugar all day. <grins>


Just saying my piece. . . .

^^^ yea, I have a lot of time in my hands

I appreciate everybodi on here.
I also appreciate idowu,even though me n pat really had dis serious misundastdn,i still appreciate pat,

Thanks for this thread Oyinda you are on of the few NL'ers whom I pray never to be caught in a thread with, chei, you can talk for 10 days straight, i want your brain though Re the "W" angle, I found out from "that" thread which you didn't deny, and you were the one I was referring to as the backroom halfbaked lawyer in my post then Sowwy  And thanks for the heads up Fl Alagolo, you my darling and Muki are like the daughters I don't have, I know you girls are about approaching your teen years, but i know I still wake up anytime and anyday even when you are 30 years old sef and say I want you to still wear flowing pink partyfrocks just for my viewing pleasure and you would not object, and I seriously hope you girls have not forgotten that you are not allowed to date till you are at least aged 27 but its all good though as I know God has blessed me generously cos I know if I ever need a babysitter, God has blessed me with not one but two, and I don't even need to give you guys any notice that I need you or even pay you sef, heck I can even stay out for days because I know you guys would do a better job than me, i wuff yous

Without you guys, there is no Iyalode Busy_body, thanks for allowing me to be my recalcitrant, raconteuse, pushing the envelope self, a joker and a nutcase  Here's a token of my warmest thanks and appreciation to you all, I am exceptionally blessed and fortunate to be able to share my life with you, many thanks for being a part of my life, I will always hold you close to my heart, I love you all, you are the reason for my NL being
