please remove my name from your list, i've asked jarus on several occasions to not include or refer to my moniker in any form, on this forum. I'm sure you're aware.

he [jarus] keeps opening these useless threads and i thought seun warned him the other time, about doing so.[/quote]In your life, don't ever type Jarus on this forum or elsewhere.

[quote author=tpia@]were you asked to be nl resident profiler and chronicler?

do you understand the notion of boundaries which you are constantly crossing?

just because you always put your business out for the whole world to see, doesnt mean everyone else is of like mind, do you find this difficult to grasp?[/quote]abeg wakapass. Wetin concern you with my thread.

So sad

Odunnu: . . .and the second part of the post you quoted is unanswered. Please attend.

cold: Why do i hav a feelin we're talkin abt TKB417 here

That's who first came to my mind too. But definitely not, cos TKB isn't from a village near Enugu.

October 2008. Used to hate it then. My corper-colleague whose desk was closest to mine in my then company was usually on Facebook, lolling all the time, while I did my own Nairaland.

I just decided to join one afternoon.

I'm doing HWU MBA. It's just like full time. I will prefer to refer to it as Distance Learning than online. I go to campus for seminars (though voluntary), study the course texts and write exams. It's ok IMO. But I don't know whether it is the same for Msc.

Congrats guy. By God's grace, I also graduated with one, although CGPA not close to that.

I understand your feelings. The expectation is natural, the parental pride is natural, the stake will automatically be high. It wont even stop there, when you begin to go for interviews, you are most likely going to be drilled more and perhaps need to do more than ordinary to convince your interviewers than the 2.1 or 2.2 guy. That is what is called defence of your degree, and 90% of Firsts I know are able to scale this.

The good thing is, if well packaged, it is a great advantage for you. You are almost guaranteed of invitation for every test you apply for except there is restriction on course or age.

Just work on your confidence (and never be overconfident). That's all.

Idowuogbo: Mr Zo mana! Wey my name? U just list dey go,no Badosky abi? Am coming bck wiv my eru Ikus.

lol @ zo mana

se m'ojo aboki ni

yes

Why do I have to recite 36 states and capital in alphabetical order? When I'm not a nursery kid.

In addition to knowing state capital, I can name at least 2 other towns in every state in Nigeria, list at least 3 governors that have ruled the state, discuss the politics of the state and the gladiators. When I meet people from a state and we delve into discussion of politics of their state, they become surprised. I remember discussing Benue politics and naming the political topshot with a lawyer-friend from the state and she was surprised at how I knew so much about her state.

Freiburger: What's the OP's position on that list?

Me no be legend o.
Let me just keep my unofficial position as Nairaland resident profiler and chronicler

1, It is cheaper to build palatial homes in the village than in city. Cost of acquiring land alone in the city may be more than cost of building a mansion in your village. With 20m, you build a palace in your village. In Lagos/Abuja, 20m may not buy land in a good location. Don't be surprised that that small house he builds in Lagos is costlier than the mansion in the village.

2, There is some sense of fulfilment in building good home in the village. You remember when you were young, probably walking bare-footed in the village. Now coming back into a comfy home.

3, East, West, North or South, home is where you are most likely to return to. Retire comfortably.

4, It gives some sense of satisfaction to your parents in the village.

5, The few days you sepnd at home during festive seasons, make the best of it. A good home guarantees that.

Talking from experience. To God be the glory, opening my own countryhome too later this year insha Allah.

dayokanu: Rubbish

You mean the author couldnt name a single Yoruba man who owns an OML and yet the SW are the ones stealing the common Patrimony

Or he meant people who went to look for jobs and are employed by multinationals are the ones stealing their patrimony

I tire o

These people make it seem like that every job in the industry should be thrown in their laps despite all what they've done for them - most of the local contractors(from those that supply Nigerian semi-skilled manpower to those that evacuate wastes) are from host communities, the CLO's, scholarships for their students etc. Maybe they want their illiterate indigenes to be ED in all oil companies before they are satisfied.

Some people live so miserably that they don't even have sense of humour - sense of entertainment. There is something called catching fun. Stupid.

deols: I'd be excited if this has any true significance or provides any benefit to the individuals mentioned.

Just like the poster of the year awards, this gets a thumbs down from me.

No offence.

If it doesn't have any significance to you, why not wakapass. And I thought you will turn down the POTY award you won since it is a thumb down. Imagine someone that delivered a speech that had excitement written all over it when she won POTY award, now yarning dust here. Talk of hypocrisy.

teexzle: Hello every1,
@jarus please I need a lil help here, I undastand one has to file a statement of affairs for a newly registered company, pls can u help with how one looks like and other procedures to gettn it done, the coy has not statd biz bt it will attain 18mths of incorporation by march 14..so ths is very urgent pls

Only a professional accountant can prepare one for you. But to cover your track before deadline, write a letter for FIRS, that you are currently preparing your statements of affairs, that you will forward to them when ready.

Founded in 1990 from the combination of WRECA FC, Kano Golden Stars and Bank of the North FC, Kano Pillars achieved outstanding success by winning the 2007/08 Nigerian Premier League. Kano Pillars produced players like Abiodun Baruwa who has since played for Swiss, Austrian, Welsh and British Clubs and Sani Kaita who later plays for Sparta Rotterdam in the Netherlands. Another Prominent player is Ahmed Garba 'Yaro Yaro' who later plays for Akademisk Boldklub in Denmark. It was registered as a limited liability company with the Corporate Affairs Commission of Nigeria, and then registered with the Nigeria Football Association (NFA) as a professional football club.

How can they forget Ahmed Musa, arguably their biggest product?

I can count on my fingertips the number of refined Chelsea fans I have met.

[quote author=12 inches!]Police kill 7 robbers in gun duel in Lagos

BY EVELYN USMAN
LAGOS—Fresh facts emerged yesterday, on the circumstances that led to the gun duel between a 13-man robbery gang and policemen from the Special Anti-Robbery Squad and Area ‘G’ command, Ogba, weekend, with seven of the robbery suspects shot during the encounter, said to have died.

Vanguard reliably gathered that the robbery suspects who were, 13 in number, came from OgunState and were heading to Ajao estate area of Lagos, where they intended to raid the Osolo branch of an old generation bank, Friday. While three of the robbery suspects constituted an advance party.

Vanguard gathered however that their mission, was rendered unaccomplished as the Lagos State Command, which was said to have got wind of their action, laid ambush for them at Abule-Egba, along the Lagos-Abeokuta expressway .

On sighting the policemen, the bandits moved  in two vehicles; a Toyota Sienna with number plate AKD 54 AG and Nissan Sunny car with number plate BT 914 APP, opened fire, thereby leading to a gun duel which lasted close to an hour.

They reportedly bowed to the superior fire power of the policemen who out-numbered them, thereby leading to the arrest of the suspected robbers.

Vanguard reliably gathered yesterday that seven  of the injured suspects had died as a result of the bullet wounds they sustained.

It could, however, not be ascertained whether any innocent person was hit during the cross fire, as motorists reportedly deserted the route while commuters took to their heels.

Five AK 47 riffles, five double barrel cut-to-size and a total of 535 live cartridges, according to spokesperson of the Lagos State Police Command, Ngozi Braide, were recovered at the end of the encounter.

Meantime, unknown to the Police, three suspected members of the gang were already positioned close to the bank, waiting for the arrival of their colleagues.

During the long wait, they reportedly overheard the encounter with policemen from a radio broadcast but could not ascertain if their colleagues were the robbers in question.

Police sources hinted that during interrogation, one of the arrested suspects disclosed the information to the operatives.

“When we were informed, we used the telephone number of one of the arrested suspects to contact their colleagues at Ajao, making him sound as if they were still on their way. They even told them they heard there was shoot-out at Abule-Egba and wanted to find out if it involved them”, sources said.

But when the operatives reportedly stormed Ajao area, the suspects who sensed danger, had reportedly fled the scene. They were, however, reportedly trailed to a hotel around the area, where one of them, a 48-year-old man whose identity was given simply given as Muftau, was arrested while his colleagues were said to have managed to escape.

During interrogation, Muftau reportedly disclosed that his fleeing colleagues had a rocket launcher, three AK 47 riffles and a total of 600 cartridges in their vehicle.

Identities of the other suspected robbers in Police net were given simply as Oluwaseyi, 27 and Kabiru 25.

Braide also confirmed the arrest of three suspected members of the gang, describing the suspects attempt as a foiled one, adding that efforts was still on to arrest other fleeing members.

Source: Vanguard[/quote]Good job, keep it up.

slimyem: 80 is too small a number...
Nairaland legends are far too many.
Why not make it 100?
Ileke-idi and blazay should also make the list..

50, when NL clocked 5
80, when NL hit 8
You got the logic?

[quote author=Table Leg ]I disagree with the crap above... Pick up a dictionary and check the meaning of "legend" then relate that to the post/thread title!
A lot of inactive members are probably still in touch with people they met on this forum and still visit often...No one can deny they are part of the history or were not notorious, respected or disrepected........... The fact still remains, they were well known around the forum
Unless you are being "sarky" then cool .......


Jarus,
Do you have a job? Just asking .... It must have taken you a lot to put this together![/quote]Done over 2 weeks in 2010!

Orpelin: where is tpiah??

She was in our original list of 50 in 2010, but she asked that her name be yanked off, because she doesn't like the face of the compiler

Rooneyboy: other than ifyalways and Rokiatu, all other names on the list are very strange.

Wetin be the criteria u use oga

meaning you are new on Nairaland

On my radar:

Beaf - He was quite new on NL in 2010 when the list of 50 was drawn, but today, no doubting his legendary status.

190: He is a troll, we know; but too consistent to be ignored.

The 'List of 50 in 2010'


THE PLATINUM CATEGORY

1, Seun: Without mincing words, the founder and CEO of Nairaland, Seun Osewa, is one guy you can't ignore, like him or hate him. Perhaps, he should be regarded as the father of online foruming in Nigeria. Despite the mushrooming of online forums in Nigeria almost everyday, Seun's NL remains the most attractive, lively and humorous web forum in the country, not to talk of its been the largest. His vision is commendable.

2, Mukina: Mukina is another engine room of NL, akin to Chief Operating Officer(COO) in most organizations. Here since 2006, Mukina, despite being a non-Nigerian, has mixed freely with Nigerians. She is unarguably, and even officially, the second most powerful personality on NL. She enters our list of NL legends.

3, Debosky On Nairaland since April 2006, Debosky is arguably the most sought after, most respected and most assertive Nairalander after Seun. His leadership skills is also phenomenal. Little wonder he was promoted Super Moderator a couple of months ago. Welcome Debosky to NL Hall of Fame. [Update: Debosky has since resigned his appointment as Supermod, but he remains in this category)


THE GOLD CATEGORY: CURRENT LEGENDS

4, Akolawole: One of the earliest Nairalanders, being a member of the 2005 set, Akolawole dwells more in the sports section, and assumes an elder stateman stature there. He is one of the encyclopedia of NL history.

5, Davidylan: Joined November 20, 2005. David(Ph.D) is unarguably one of the most controversial Nairalanders, known for his fierce debates in religion, politics, and foreign affairs sections, as well as romance and sports sections. He is one NL you just can't ignore and he has been around since 2005 and doesn't look like quitting soon. He was recently voted religion section poster of the year 2009. He makes our list.

6, Olabowale: Joined June 04, 2006, Alhaji Olabowale is widely regarded as the father of Nairaland Muslims. Widely respected, even by non-Muslims, he has been on NL since 2006, actively doing what he knows how to do best: defending Islam and answering questions on Islam/Muslims. Few people will disagree withe me that Alhaji Olabs(as he has been nick-named) is a NL legend.

7, Dayokanu: A member of the 2006 set, dayokanu is better known for three things on NL. 1, Criticism of English football 2, Criticism of flamboyant pentecostal pastors 3, Criticism of Muslims for crises. Like him or loathe him, Dayokanu is one Nairalander one can hardly ignore. He has been consistent with this since 2006.

8, Spikedcylinder: Spikey, as she is fondly called on NL, is another lady worth recognising as NL clocks 5. To those in the hot politics, sports and religion sections, she might not be known, but she assumes an iconic stature in entertainment sections(Romance, Celebrity, Fashion, TV/Movie etc). To think she was my immediate junior in the varsity, but by far my senior on NL, having been here since 2005. Welcome Spikey into NL Hall of Fame.

9, Texazzpete: On NL since 2005, Texazzpete is only averagely known for the simple reason that he is not the controversial type, yet he is one Nairalander that has consistently contributed immensely to making NL what it is. He is more known in politics section.

10, Loma: Many people may not know him, simply because he chips in his contributions only to serious issues. He is not a 1000+ poster, but when he drops his comment, you see class written all over it. The Ife, Texas, Rice, Harvard, and MIT-trained Loma is an IT guru in one of the world's largest multinational oil corporations. He is one of the earliest Nairalanders, 2005 set. Welcome Loma to NL Hall of Fame.

11, 4Play:. On NL since 2006 and has been consistent. 4Play is another very versatile Nairalander that roams the Sports, politics and entertainment sections. He is no doubt a NL legend.

12, Afam: Another early bird on NL, having been around since 2005, Afam has consistently made his mark debating politics on NL. Five years on, Afam is still active in that section, and he doesn't appear quitting soon.

13, Osisi: Like Tpia, many Nairalanders may not see eye to eye with her, but there is no denying her place in NL Hall of Fame. Having operated many usernames, we don't know when she joined NL, but it surely can't be after 2006. She is one of the most popular Nairalanders of all time.

14, iice: There are threads and threads about some Nairalanders, but no thread on any NL personality has ever reached 10 pages. Guess what? A thread on iice reached 63 pages. Check out ''iice: Can I meet you'' thread. Although little may be known of her outside the entertainment sections, but there is no disputing the fact that iice is one of the NL legends, not only because she has been around since 2006, but also because of her consistency over time, came rain, came sun.

15, Jakumo: One of the Top 5 most popular personalities in NL politics section since 2005, Jakumo is especially known for his trademark jaw-dropping bombasts, and he has been consistent with it five years. His peculiar style and consistency with it qualifies him as a legend on NL.

16. Sauron: Some people came, but after some time, they fizzled out. Some came, made impression within few months, but couldn't sustain the steam. Count Sauron out. Started as Jackal in 2006, but now operating under the username Sauron. Sauron has stood the test of time in NL sports sections. Four years, and still waxing stronger. One of the 'area fathers' in NL sports section since 2006. Ignore them at your peril.

17, Thief of Hearts: TOH, as she is usually called, is another nairalander that has shaken and moved the forum since 2006. She may no longer be as active as used to be, but there is no denying the fact that TOH is a NL legend. She dwells more in entertainment sections.

18, Rokiatu. On NL since 2006 and highly consistent, she may not be that popular outside of entertainment sections, but there is no denying the fact that she is a silent legend.

19, Otokx: On NL almost since inception in 2005 and still vibrantly present. Otokx runs the most consistent personal diary thread in the NL blogging section of Journals and Diary since 2006. He dwells more in the politics section and he is one of the most respected voices in that region.

20, Grafikdon: He is a 1 post per day Nairalnder, but with his popularity one will think he is among the 30-posts per day posters. Joined in 2006 and still strong in the land, Grafikdon is one of the pillars of the hot NL Politics Section.

21, Becomrich: It is just difficult to ignore Becomrich in the compilation of all-time greatest Nairalanders, much as one tries to. He may not be popular for the right reason, his style and passion are phenomenally legendary. He is one of a kind. The Canada-based Unilorin graduate of 'electricity engineering', has been on NL since at least 2006, under various IDs. If you want to have a good laugh on NL, tune to the becomrich.

22, Twinstaiye: Surprise inclusion, isn't it?! Yes, not all legends are popular. One of the oldest nairalanders, one of the earliest Nairanders having joined NL when NL was less 150 days old, one of the few Nairalanders that have their real pictures in their profile and one of the most mature Nairalanders. Twinstaiye is a silent legend on NL. He makes our list of 50 greatest Nairalanders of all time.

23, Nike4luv: One of the very few members of the early generation on NL that are still around. Most of her generation have left or no longer active, but she's still active and dropping comments, especially in the forum games section. Welcome Nike to NL Hall of fame.

24, Lalaboi: Lalaboi has been consistently present on NL since May 2006, and looks stronger by the day. His turf are forum games, Music and European football. He is also an active advocate of NL on facebook. Welcome lalaboi to NL Hall of Fame.

25, RichyBlack: One of the founding fathers of NL Politics section that is still around active, even though not as involved as he used to be before. He is an active contributor on International Politics discourse. He joined NL in 2006 and remains one of the leading voices in Nairaland Political discussions.

26. Orikinla: : Aside entertainment sections(which include sports and romamnce
sections), Politics is another area that naturally attracts people. This is understandable given man's love for sparkles and glitz. But none of these hotbeds is Orikinla's turf. He does his things most in an area some people never even know exist on NL. Welcome Orikinla, the NL in-house literary guru who makes the NL Literary and Writing sections tick.

27. Dr Kitaun: Not sure when exactly he joined NL given his metamorphosis from different, though similar, IDs. He is one of the 'area fathers' in Sports sections who you ignore at your own peril. He is at home both in European and Nigerian football, and he is one of the strong men that made NL sports section a hotbed for analysis.

28, Famous Funmi: Everything about her is controversial. Even her inclusion here will generate controversy, as many people will say such a personality that do more of fighting cannot be regarded as a legend. Where to put her is also generating controversy. Current or past legend? But one thing that cannot be taken away from her is that she made NL interesting. She operated many usernames, Earthmama, Hotfunmi, Osun Amazon, Redhotchic, Pepperspray, and most famously, Deepzone. Some people are also convinced that she's behind the username Aloy-Emeka now, we leave that to speculators. It is difficult to complete the list of movers and shakers of NL in the last 5 years without including Funmi Deepzone. Welcome Funmi into our NL Hall of Fame.






THE SILVER CATEGORY: PAST LEGENDS

29, Hot-Angel: She was reputed to be one of the hottest Nairalanders iin her generation. Joined NL when the forum was just 103 days old and rocked the forum till 2007 before quitting NL. She made a single post in the whole of 2008, and no post at all in 2009, signifying the exit of one movers of NL in its early days.

30, Latoya: Between 2005-2008, there was a lady called Latoya on NL. Joined before NL was 4 months old, Latoya was most active in forum games and made NL tick in that golden generation.

31, Dejiolowe: Strange, isn't it? Yes, that was one of the guys that rocked NL in 2005 and 2006, when NL was in its formative years. He still buzzes in once in a while. He was a respected voice on NL at the time, and some of his contemporaries who are still around still mention his name with fondness.

32, Gamine: Although Gamine is still around, at least she was here till Feb 22, she is not as vibrant as she used to be between 2006-2008, she therefore fits more into this category. New generation Nairalanders may not know her, but she was one of the Nairalanders that made this place tick some two, three years ago.

33, MC Usman: He was on NL for just 10 months, between Feb to Nov[b] 2008[/b], but there was hardly any active nairalander that did not know him then. At a time when North bashing was the in-thing in NL politics (Biafra is the in-thing now. God save us!), he was practically the sole voice of the North on NL then. Based then in Monrovia, Liberia, MC Usman officially quit on November 30, 2009, when he was moved to Congo on official assignment. A thread was opened to bid him farewell.

34, Sistawoman: She joined in 2008 and took the romance sections, nay the whole of NL, by storm. Perhaps the most open Nairalander ever. She is no longer as active as she used to be and came here last in January.

35, Windywendy: So legendary that, two years after leaving, people spoke of her in glowing terms. She was on NL between 2006 and 2008 and her knowledge of stock market was legendary. Practically turned into stock market consultant on NL

36, Layi: Layi shook NL in its formative years. He was here between 2005 and 2009, and alongside Dejiolowe, will be remembered for making NL hot in its first two years in particular.





THE BRONZE CATEGORY: EMERGING LEGENDS

37, Kobojunkie: Joined in 2007, and assumed a collosal stature in politics section within a short period of time. One of the few female that are very active in the ever hot politics section of NL, where she struts it out with men in debates and analyses. She has been absent on NL for a couple of months and we hope she will soon back. She is gradually working her into NL legends.

38, Aisha2: Another female Nairalander that rubs shoulders with men in the politics section. She is not known for fierce debates but contributes to issues. She is also known for her humanitarian services outside NL. She also frequents romance and other sections. She is gradually making her way into the list of all-time Nairaland legends. She joined in 2007

39, oyb: Oyb is a member of the 2007 class, my set. He is one of the most versatile Nairalanders, as he is always almost everywhere, except sports. He is another encyclopedia of Nairaland. His sense of recollection is phenomenal and he is better known for recollecting, referencing and digging out past threads when debating, and has exposed many inconsistent liars on NL. He is rising to join the class of NL all-time legends.

40, Ibime: A member of 2007 set, Ibime is no doubt one of the most brilliant nairalanders of this generation. His contributions are class. Only a few landers can match his knowledge of politics, economics, finance, sports and general issues, despite being a Mathematics graduate. His arguments are scientific, easily quoting relevant statistics while debating, especially politics and economy. Like Loma, he is another proof that Nigerian First Class grads are worth their salt.

41, Ajanlekoko: Joined NL in 2006 and would have been on the category of established legends on NL, but he did not become active until 2008. Ajanlekoko, alongside TKB and a few others, are the vein through which NL career section's blood flows. He gives useful insights on work management and people fall on one another to have his advice. Call him an in-house consultant, and you may not be wrong. He is also active in Politics and Barcelona-related threads in sports section.

42, TKB417: A member of 2007 set, it is very difficult to reconcile how the always-on-the-move investment banker juggles between his work and NL, given his ever-presence on NL. A die-hard Man U fan, few people will disagree with me that TKB deserves a spot in NL list of legends.

43, Biina:: Copy Ibime's citation up there and paste here. Change Ibime to Biina, 2007 to 2008, and maybe delete the last sentence, and you have Biina's citation. Welcome Biina to NL Hall of Fame.

44, DualCore: 7-post per day DualCore, formerly Sawyerrken, has been on NL since December 2007, and remains not only very active till today but also very useful. He may not be active in high tension sections like Politics, Sports, Religion and Romance, he assumes an iconic stature in Dating and Meeting zone as well as technology sections of phones, webmasters, computers etc. Dualcore is hereby inducted into our list of '50 Greatest Nairalanders of All Time' under the Silver category.

45, Ibkaye: With more than 15,000 posts , representing more than 85% of her post, in just one section, I don't think any other lander can beat her in number of posts in a single section. Yet, she's not a local champion as she is widely known in virtually all entertainment sections. She joined NL in 2007. Welcome Ibkaye into NL Hall of Fame.

46, MrCrackles: Joined NL in 2008 as Brash and within a very short period of time, became very famous forum-wide. He is not only the most consistent member of NL, he is also the most ubiquitous, with presence in virtually every thread. He is also one of the most popular Nairalanders. Many people have criticized his use of curse words, including his famous signature, 'It's Brashy you naughty person'. He is not known for making long posts. For his consistency, unique style, and popularity, Brash deserves a place in NL Hall of Fame.

47, Ifyalways: Ify joined NL in 2007 and has made her mark on the forum with her quality contributions, especially in the Culture forum, where she was voted poster of the year 2009.

48, Clemcykul:: It is never by the number of posts, otherwise somebody like Loma would not have made the list, but with 24 posts per day, 90% of which are in one section(Jokes), Clemcykul deserves a look. Welcome Clemcykul to NL list of emerging legends.

49, Sagamite: A member of the 2008 set, Sagamite is one of the most versatile nairalanders, bestriding the Politics, Sports, Romance, and Forum info (Nairaland) sections. He is one of the few Nairalanders, nay Nigerians, that are very passionate about Nigerian football. He is also a grammar and style critic as evidenced in his thread on Nigerian journalists.

50, Doyin13: Doyin joined NL two days after the forum clocked 2. March 12, 2007, to be precise and has not looked back since then, with activities usually in Forum games, politics, sports, and the entertainment sections.

UPDATE - 2013
In three years, some that were just emerging in 2010 have come of age in legendary status, some have left or become inactive, hence this reclassification. So based on events from 2010-2013, here are the movements:

From Gold to Silver (i.e becomes relatively inactive)


From Bronze to Silver ( becomes relatively inactive)


From Bronze to Gold (from emerging in 2010, attains full blown, currently active legendary status)

When Nairaland clocked 5 in 2010, we drew up a list of 50 men and women that moved nairaland 2005-2010: https://www.nairaland.com/413742/50-men-women-moved-nairaland

Three years is a long time. New legends have emerged, the emerging ones in 2010 have come of age.

As Nairaland clocks 8, we are updating the list, extending to 80.

Who are the 30 new inductees to join the list? Or who was a legend a legend already in 2010 but missing from our list?

Make a case for your candidate.

It's the ultimate search......let's go

What does our induction confer on the inductees?
