MissJoy29:
1) Royalblak007. I love his/her threads. It takes number one on my list. There was a thread about one very expensive cake. The way the thread gave detailed details about the cake eh. Another one was about things that look alike that are easily confused. The thread gave the differences between them and some are so small you'd almost never spot it.

2) Explorers. He makes my love for Aeroplanes and massive structures come alive. I remember the thread about Symphony of the seas that still give me goose bumps till this day. I showed my students and they were so awed. They were busy asking me unimaginable questions. Lol.

3)Toks2008. I suspect he's a relationship expert. He's almost always on point. He sounds like a Christian too.

4) Autojosh. Just got to know him recently. So don't know much about him.

Thanks sis.

Most credit goes to Dailymail and Reuters travel photographers for bringing those images to the eyes of someone like me who lacks what it takes to see them physically.

Tnx to lalasticlala, mynd44 for sharing them.

Rest on mam

PMB007:
I don't want to taint my sterling record and make you the first person I'll call an idiot on Nairaland.

When you could get the same info from dailymail, why do you have to read Explorers thread at all, even enough for you to know where he copies from ?

And by the way, for you and your fellow bad belle people making an unnecessary comparism - do you expect Explorers to post all he does from his head ? Without reference to anywhere ?

And for you guys that are not "masters of copy and paste", pls, post a link of any educational thread you've created on this platform or any other place for that matter.

Pls, you guys should take your bad belle somewhere else and create space for we that cannot go to dailymail to get information.

Nonsense!

On another note, big thumbs up to Explorers and RoyalBlak007 jare and to every other beautiful person.

Bros sef get time.

CNN, BBC, Aljazeera, Dailymail, SkyNews, Reuters, Washington Post, Huffington Post and others are all connected in one way or the other.

They first get updates, source images, videos from one another before sending their crews to the field or scene.

They make reference to each other, if they can do that, who we be for here

Channels Tv sef dey link Aljazeera, bbc&others.

Royalblak007 na so he be o, your source can't come from heaven. Keep up bro.

brandable:

DelTel:
I hope the campaign will gain prominence (and donation) just as much as Explorers' other threads with cult-like following.

As the un-appointed media aide, I confirm my (unknown) boss wishes we all contribute our token to facilitate the payment of necessary medical bills.

The bank details is clearly stated.

Tnx bros, they did it.
