Hmm...

My neighbours are already reminiscing on how the previous years has been: they gather together, eat together, drink together bla bla!..

If they bring, I'll eat on one condition: If it's my landlady, That woman is a good chef and VERY NEAT!

It is not very necessary... it just fosters a little unity...kind of...

There are people that brings to me, Then it goes straight to the bin AND I'LL TELL THEM BIG THANK YOU WITH A WIDE GRIN...LOL

Bear in mind, that this is a list of Nairalanders who influenced Nairaland with their topics, witty comments, arguments and all things that make NL interesting

1) Lalasticlala: this fellow has to be the most influential NLer in 2014 with ALL his celebrity news and many celeb-inspired lists. Lala is Nairaland's King of Celeb section in 2014 and quite a valuable member as well.
His threads always have a 92% chance of making FP, so there is always a mad rush for space booking

2) Tosyne2much: he started the whole Numbered lists on NL more or less. His threads influenced all the 10 things...7 people...8 events. And more or less any other numbered list you find on NL

3) Onila: Love her or hate her, Onila's crazy attention-seeking threads definitely fills up the number of topics on NL. That and of course her many campaigns to ensure Nigerian girls stay pure, her hate topics against Yoruba women, or her unending claims to virginity.
As much as people have begun to peg her as a bi-polar, schizophrenic attention-seeker , she remains steadfast in ensuring we all remember there is such a person as Onila on these streets

4) Nairaland: no be one pesin dey this group. The Space Bookers Association of Nairaland (Nairaland) really influenced this site. They grew stronger with the introduction of that crazy supermod wey no dey gree FP rest....they have actively taken over from the G7 or Garri Soldiers who ruled in 2013 through early 2014.
You can't open a thead on NL without finding their signature posts that consist of anything from a dot (.) To an alphabet (H,K) to words (so?, hmm, ok)....wherever you go on NL, Nairaland rules

5) PDP and APC e-thugs: Elections are comingg in less than 2 months so as expected, the e-goons of PDP and APC have flooded the internet to win voters for their candidates and of course sway some against the opposition.
There have been threads and counter-threads to discredit both Presidential candidates, arguments and counter-arguments that go from sensible to utterly ridiculous. These guys have influenced a lot of FP threads recently.

6) The RealMrStan and Ishilove: There have been speculations that these two were chosen as the supermods Seun advertised for, especially the former who has been solely responsible for up to 100 FP topics in the last 2 weeks.
In order to reach FP, you either have to be TheRealMrStan, or be his relative or famz him...in fact, na this guy be the koko for NL FP activities. Respect his conglomerate gbagbe

7) Seun Osewa: The Oga Boss himself, if not for him, I wouldn't have to keep up with 10 FP topics per minute. Seun will always influence Nairaland every single year either with his innovative ideas or new additions to the running of the site.
Some of the new additions we all agreed with were the 'mentions' and 'deactivation" features. I don't know about everyone else, but the 'share' feature is still sketchy for me, and we all still await the 'dislike' button

Who's your most influential NLer of 2014?

Laptops, also known as notebooks, are versatile, portable, come in a range of sizes and boast different levels of features. So, how do you find the laptop that's right for your needs? Just follow this buying guide on notebook computers.

Consider The Size Of Your Laptop

How often are you likely to be carrying your laptop? Are you after a notebook to play games and run graphics-intensive programs like photo editing software? Generally speaking, laptops with more features are less portable.

Lightweight and ultra-portable notebooks are a great option for people like students who need to carry them everywhere, as they range from under 2kg up to 4kg

Midsize and desktop-replacement laptops offer more features and are better suited to gaming and graphics-intensive programs like video and photo editing. They range from around 3kg to 5kg

Brain Speed – The Faster, The Better

Processors are often referred to as the "brains" of a laptop because they determine how fast your computer functions. The speed of the processor is measured in GHz (gigahertz). It's always safest to go with the fastest you can afford.

The Grunt

RAM (Random Access Memory) helps your processor perform tasks by acting as a temporary storage point.

In short, the more RAM you have, the more programs you can keep open at once, and the faster your computer will go

Laptops range between 2GB and 16GB of RAM

A graphics (or video) card acts as a separate processor for rendering the images on the screen

Graphics cards draw on their own RAM, so the computer's performance is not impeded

This is important for graphics-intensive programs, such as games and movies.

Store It In The Hard Drive
The hard drive is where your computer stores your files. Storage capacity is measured in gigabytes (GB)

The more GB, the more files you can fit. If you want to store large files like high-quality photos, movies or music you should aim for a range between 500GB and 3TB

A laptop used solely for Internet, email and minimal image storage should get away with 250GB or less

How Long Does The Battery Last?

Typical laptop battery life is between three to five hours. If you're travelling and away from a power source for extended periods of time, then consider laptop computers with a battery life of over five hours.

Connecting Your Laptop To Other Devices
Consider the devices that you want to connect your laptop to. Multiple USB ports are necessities for iPods, digital cameras and external hard drives; also look for FireWire ports.

For connecting to monitors and projectors, look for a VGA connection at minimum. Aim for a DVI, HDMI or DisplayPort as well

Integrated wireless networking (Wi-Fi) will allow you to connect to a range of different networks without needing any wires or cords

Consider These "Usability" Factors

Laptops usually come with a pointing stick or a touch pad instead of a mouse. Make sure that you're comfortable using them

Also check that the layout and size of the keyboard is easy to use, and that the screen size suits your needs

If you're planning on working outside, check that there is a matte screen option to reduce glare

If you are switching from PC to Apple, or vice versa, it's important to note that Apple products have different shortcuts and a different look and feel to using them. However, making the switch either way is quite easy.

Match Your Lifestyle

Home and Business: Surf the net, work on multiple documents, watch movies, and manage your family photos and music.

Size: Look for a portable laptop under 4kg
Memory: Aim for the most memory you can, upwards of 250GB
Connectivity: Multiple USB ports, Wi-Fi, Firewire and a DVI or HDMI

Students and Travellers: Store your photos, music and videos, surf the Net and work on graphics-intensive programs, like photo editing.

Size: Choose an ultra-portable notebook under 2kg
Grunt: Look for a processor of at least 2GHz and 2GB RAM
Screen: Look for a matte screen to reduce glare when outdoors

Gamers: You'll need a fast, powerful machine to play your favourite games wherever you are in the world.

Size: Choose a larger screen, like a 15.6-inch one
Graphics: Add a separate graphics card with at least 1GB RAM
Connectivity: HDMI, multiple USB, eSATA, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

Simple Laptop Choices

Size: Smaller laptops are easier to carry around. Do you need a big screen?
Battery life: How long will you and your notebook be away from a power source?
Storage: Notebooks with bigger hard drives can store more files, including photos and video.



Extras:
Connect it: What devices (cameras etc) do you want to connect? How many ports will you need to connect them all at once?
Graphics cards: A must-do upgrade for gamers and those editing photos.
