₦airaland Forum

[b] To Seun Osewa and the supermods of Nairaland.

Well Iam a Nairaland fan hailing from twitter to facebook and I have to admit the Forum is very educative. I just have a tiny complaint though. I have been observing something very unpleasant to the lovers of literature.

Someone once asked why do crappy stories hit FRONT PAGE and a certain someone replied him by saying the Forum belongs to Seun so whatever he says should be on front page should go but our section knows no JUSTICE at all. Iam always online, not because I have nothing to do but because I love reading. I read more than I eat!!!

Ok, Literature section was dead before Cuddlemii took to the throne, that I have back up evidence from two moderators whom I won't name for all our sakes. And after waking up the dead section and making it lively, our stories always end up in the recycle BIN! Which is so not fair because all I see are stupid celebrity gossips and romance stories on FP. 2weeks ago a song which was very annoying made front page, it wasn't even a song. It was more like a kindergarten's winnie the pooh lyrics. I always throw taundrums at Cuddlemii but she is doing her job! Do we need to be friends with the supermods offline to have my stories on Frontpage

Please go check the Literature section, we are only trying and need nairalanders support not their backs.

All Iam saying is that the section should be looked at in a different angle. [/b]

Seun I humbly beg you to look into these

breathing: Well, didn't the bible say 'A man shall find a wife', it never said a woman shall have to search for Mr. Right or wrong. So what should beat you is why good African men wait so long to find smart African women.

its not the men fault, ladies are difficult!

*takes a broom and starts cleaning*

Iam trying

breathing: Sorry mine is late. Been fake-busy as always.

I love this story. It reads like gossip, refreshing gossip, whatever that means.

I hate that the narration is too fast-paced. And the writing still seems very raw and in need of an editor but then the writer is quite good on her own too.

I don't know if it's fiction but I totally get the narrator's life. Like what if you are 35 and you still haven't got the kinda man you've always dreamed of sharing your life. Do you lower all standards and 'screening processes' and start to go out with even the men that bore, scare, or irritate you just so you can finally get married before menopause.
If a woman has been smart all her life, is she expected to suddenly start being dumb just because she is 35? Does that mean there are no smart men for the smart women out there or does it confirm my fears that most Nigerian men are scared of smart women and can only feel good around women they can control.


I hate the quote above btw. Looking forward to reading about the rest of her life sha, sounds interesting. Time to post again HBG?

it still beats me why most black sisters wait till the Eleventh hour to search for Mr wrong. (As Mj Blige puts it) is it that all the guys were so not good for them?

Hi guys..Iv just posted episode 2 of finding Hubby

Ishilove: Nice and rather intriguing. The plot thickens... The circle of biatches... Lol

Except for very few wrong spellings and wrong usage of verbs, your submission is a-okay.

Might I make a suggestion? This work is a collaboration. Each writer gives his piece and steps aside. I suggest you submit everything once and for all so that the next writer will know which angle to tackle the story from. I am suggesting this because you have give us the impression that the chapter isn't done yet. Unless I'm wrong, but if I am right, then the piecemeal updates of your chapter will distract the next writer from proper planning of his submission.

you have just said what I wanted to say all morning.

@ Efe y don't you let Mazi take it from where you stopped? When your chapter is lengthy it leaves us nothing to work onto, since you want to solve the cultism on your own. Wonder what social network is that.

Well apart from it all, I enjoyed reading it, though it is very Gory, Typical nigerian storyline. Lemme let my imagination run wild...
