Whenever, one fill a form on a website, they would ask, ''how did you know about us?''. This prompted me to want to ask Nairalanders how they came to hear about Nairaland (there is no provision made by Nairaland moderator to know this when a new member signs-up. Mr Osewa, please take note). My first contact with Nairaland was in 2007 while searching for some online work-at-home jobs and when the search result came, 'voila', Nairaland!. The 'Naira' attracted me because money was what I was looking for. I fall so much in love with the site that I read through all the topics in the various fora. In the money section, I saw a post by one Arukwe Stephen wanting to sell an e-book on how to print recharge cards. He supplied his account details and phone number. How this man duped me is a story for another day. I lost details of my first Nairaland account and opened this current one on 1st April, 2011. Since then, I have always enjoyed my time on this platform. Pals, please share your first-timer experiences on Nairaland. Thanks

A very good Yoruba friend of mine introduced me to nairaland sometime in 2008.

I googled "beautiful fulani women", little bit bored at work.

Started reading, and wrote down the adress to go in and read more home..and here I am.

2nd of Jan, 2012 via google... I was looking for pictures of Benin and Yoruba architecture - and Nairaland came up...

Eureka!!

I learned about Nairaland in the spring of 2010 when I was searching google for some articles regarding Nigeria. I was amazed by the wealth of information I found and decided to be a casual observer. I never felt it was necessary to register until August of that same year.

This thread is better suited in the general section.
