look who's talking.
lol,

I am in step 6 -reviewing

BoboYekini: Viewing this topic: esere826

look who's talking.
lol, gotta admit falling e-inlove on NL gives a great kick. Some utterly attractive girls on here, abi is it all in my head?

na ya head im dey

Ishilove: Confess. Who is that e-girl you have fallen in e-love with?

ishilove, na u
my body convulses when I e-think about you

Step 6 Review -Watch your 'followed topics' whittle

Yep, after fighting the good fight
you will soon notice that the updated threads that you are following gets fewer and fewer by the day
Now you know you are truelly free
free enough to flee from seductresses and temptresses

Its time to pick the pieces of your life and reinvigorate your career
fill up your now empty moments with seminars, reading HBR and McKinsey quartely
stay ahead of the curve

The only problem is that now u've already tasted the forbidden fruit
you are now a socially charged and changed animal having tasted the excesses of NL
You now know that some humans are way ahead of the curve,
whilst others are em. ...chewing the chord

You've followed the steps, now you are free (or free-er) from the addiction of NL
but still connected by an umblical chord to the forum because u dropped some of your best ideas in it

Ishilove: M good dear.

This whole thread is an indication of how addicted you are to NL. You are a junkie. You need rehab,pronto! Sheesh.

I do O.
Make I tok true
But I don dey break am now sha

Step 5 Do not fall e love

Try not to fall in elove on the NL thread
It is almost as dangerous as the real thing but without the associated physical pleasures
It saps you energy thinking about that guy or gurl who only mentally exists

Probably wa#k if you have to, but please don't get distracted by emotional inexcusables in the electronic world
Imagine a guy chasing after an e-girl for say 2 years, then discovering that the e-girl was actually always a guy
Love is capable of distracting you on its own. Why heap on more torment with e-love, e-flowers, e-sex etc

Solution
-exchange phone numbers and call quickly to ascertaing true s.ex and interests
-Muster enough courage to toast your neighbours daughter. Its more healthy
- it is not all that e-glitters that is gold. She/he might actually be a hermit leaving in a cage in real life. with drooping boobs or a little pp.

You really need to stay focussed on your career. Avoid em

@ishilove

my swearie. how now?

Step 4 Avoid fights in Nairaland like a plague

You know those fights you get into in NL
Fights about English language, folks papa and mama being the cause of your opponents genetically shaped stupidity etc
Well, they have a way of tieing you down to Nairaland.

You might see yourself in the office seething over the last written comment made by your opponent,
while mentally crafting the right insults/curse to hurl at him at the place it hurts most
You might also see yourself checking the thread regularly for cursing and swearing updates from your opponnent
PyschoAnalysing him/her by searching previous posts dating all the way back to 2006
*SMH*

You might soon start stalking your opponents around the entire forum threads
looking for where you can give him a deadly blow. Smash his head once and for all
(Can you just imagine what your life has become on NL!!)


Solution
-Avoid fights on NL
-Quickly curse your opponent with as much passion as possible and unfollow the thread
-Do not look back on the thread as Lot's wife did and turned to a pillar of salt
-See a doctor. I am serious

Step 3 Minimise the number of threads you open

Yep. it takes a lot of man hours for you to initiate a thread -especially if you actually put some thinking into it
(much easier if your thoughts-to-action life-cycle is GiGo -Garbage in, Garbage out)

When you intitiate a thread, there is a tendency for you to constantly check on that thread. its almost like your baby.
you might see yourself constantly rereading what you and other commentator wrote on the thread.
driving off throlls and derailers, refocussing the arguments etc
Like Narcissus, you might even see yourself counting towards a targetted number of hits on your thread

All of this ends up taking valuable time. Imagine spending your entire Saturday every week on NL instead of studying for your ACCA. Jeez!!! get a life

Solution
-minimize the number of threads you initiate
-grow out of counting the number of hits (views) on your thread
-get a real life, not an e-life

Step 2 Minimise your comments on thread

When you make comments in NL threads, the topic automatically pops up as a 'followed topic' when anyone makes additional comments
This pulls you to want to have a view of the latest commentaries/thinking in that thread

You might also find that you are curious to know what others might have made of your comments
This could mean you'd be reading through loads of comments
searching for any reference to you or your posts

Solution
- subdue your impulse to make comments on many threads
- unfollow some silly topics -'why do girls have no P.P's'- that you had previously made comments on
- instead of reading through every post looking for reactions to your comments, simply do a 'ctrl F' on your keypad
type in a part of your name eg ('eser' instead of 'esere826') or comment and then click to search.
Do this on every page, and you would quickly see views on your comments

Step 1: Ensure that you are not following a crowd

If you are following a large number of people on NL, you will always be tempted to read their write ups
You could be at the office daydreaming of what Ishilove, physicsqed, Seun, Naptu2, Ajanlekoko and 60 more must have written while you where away

It is worse when you are following prolific writer/commentators who make interesting comments on every article that he or she reads on NL
When you smile sheepishly while at your desk, everyday at the office, then I guess its time to shake off the NL addiction

Solution
-If you're following a crowd, the solution might be to gradually 'loose them and let them go'
unfollow some of them. one Nairalender at a time

Hello everyone, are you addicted to Nairaland?
is it ruining your career?
are you spending valuable time on Nairaland instead of on other financially rewarding pursuits?
Do you want to be free from this addiction?

I'll give you tips on how you can rid yourself of this addiction

zaza1: Nigerian and Ghanaian music is now referred to worldwide as Afrobeats..so whether its hiplife,afrohiphop or afropop..they all fall under Afrobeats

wow thankgod
i would like to believe that we (west africans) named this genre
I hope no be oyibo give us the name?

Naptu2

@OP

umh... another one
NL is populated with diversity sha

@Seun

I have only one word for you and some people that dont understand the value of NL: a55holes
So untill Forbes and other oyibo media raise ur hand, u no go fit raise ur own hand abi?

I guess now u will understand why I was so bitter about your forum not being used instead of Twitter during GEJ's presidential debate
https://www.nairaland.com/1107383/seun-reno-wtf-why-twitter

We really need to stop waiting for commendation from oyibo, before we start appreciating what we have
It is killing our innovation, adoption and adaption of technology

a55holes

Ok naw

HOME VIDEO ENDING
Osa was upset that Izehi had built in some 3 months what he had planned for years
He asked izehi to pay him for the information he shared
Izehi was upset about this, he suspected that there was something fishy about Osa's request

A bitter quarrel between the families of both guys soon ensued
Osa got his dad who was the head of service to sack Izehi's dad

Now, Izehi goes to church regularly and prays that God should lift his family out of the waters of despair

86) A peek inside Izehi's head

Izehi used web thinking in his resolve to start the pond. Here is how he thought out the entire scenario:

- His dad and mum would be retiring in a couple of years. Why not provide an easy business for them to manage
- Digging the fishpond personally was good exercise, Izehi was getting flabby
- He would like the leisure of sitting in his beach spot and feed his catfishes with his friends around
- The catfish even if not sold could be a source of nourishment to his familly.
- He could even groom catfishes for marriage ceremonies that would happen in his family with time thereby saving family members cost
- He could give out the fishes for free to big men, who might soon like him and give him contracts
- He just might make profit from the fishpond and expand

From the list above, you can see that the only way Izehi could have failed was not taking that first step

85) They did it (*dancing to Dora animation jingle*)

Within 2 months of Osa discussing with Izehi about fishponds
Izehi had built his fishpond and populated it with catfish fingerlings

This inspired Osa who had been procrastinating for ages
he started doing the same thing in his dad's house, and just like what happened to Izehi, his dad also contributed to completing it

Now, the kids are out of their dads houses
their parents are enjoying the sales and chopping of catfish, all thanks to Izehi taking the bull by the horn
