FTBOY:
le.zz should top the list though.......just making up the list in my own way

Hehehehe, I want to top the list of witty trolls

FTBOY:
you're lucky she's been sacked as a moderator. she'd simply have deleted and banned you for correcting her. i think le.zz made a mistake adding her name in the list......she doesn't deserve a honourable mention

I thought hard and long about it, brother. But I just wanted to be unbiased and objective.

There's another in that list whose personality online rubs me off in the wrong way too, but I just had to credit her, that's why I made her shortcomings as a foot note.

Ishilove:
I'm 'coldly dismissive' only when the situation calls for chilly dismissal. On Nairaland that's inevitable

Yes, in nairaland, there's no getting around that one; there are many situations that warrant the cold dismissal but they tend to make it your default approach over time, I'm afraid. It mired your charms in the mud.

Ishilove:
I'm not conceited, I'm slightly overly opinionated on certain issues.

'arrogantly snobbish'. That's a new one.

How am I arrogantly snobbish?

and coldly dismissive in a condescending fashion. Your intelligence should make you comely and endearing, not a put off in a chesty manner

MRSANITY:
you should at least appreciate the fact that you have been listed as one of the greatest phrasemakers of Nairaland.

Thanks, brother.

Ishilove:
'prudish and sancitimonious'...

So what else is new?

.... conceited and arrogantly snobbish... you forgot to say thanks.

What if Rule 21 were to be enforced by Moderators?

No one has ever got the stick for breaking that rule yet. I suspect rule 21 is more of an advisory and preferential imploration to grace posts with standard English than the need to keep nuisance out of threads.


But still, Some Nairalanders have taken the pain and effort to write in an enthralling manner with certain panache and precision. Their literary efforts and phraseology draped in all shades of styles are as different as their personalities.

These nairalanders either have the innateness to write in an attention-grabbing way or they slogged to develop their writing proficiency which often entertains me more than the message they seek to convey.

I have selected 10 nairlanders whose pennings have served and entertained my mental perceptions for the entire duration of my nairaland stay. I beleive good writing is a mark of superior breeding and peerage .


I should point that their entire posts/threads are not without some gramatical blemish (As are mine or anyone else's) which is to be expected given the nature associated with writing on an online platform like this; most posts are done on mobile gadgets in between daily routine of work or studies, and always with swinging epinephrine and emotional reflections.

There is little moment for proof-reading and even less for aloofness in critical appraisals for grammatical marrings.

Seasoned, professional writers have the time of luxury and materials to have their scriptings error-proofed either by themselves or professionals. No such luxury is availed a nairalander who writes post and threads in real-time and often with emotional attachments.


The top 10 phrasemakers in my subjective conclusion to have graced Nairaland in recents times are --- in the order of hierarchy:


1.. TV01 . ( Rich in clever placement of everyday words
and has a varied stock of simple and
sophisticated vocabulary)



2.. TheSonofmark (Word-generator, clever use of
compound words in depicting
situations)


3... Mizmycoli ( good narrator and logical in
composition)


4... Ishilove ( prudish and sanctimonious but a
good writer still)



5.... Mindfulness ( philosophically to the left but a
a brillaint wordsmith, argumenta-
tive still)



6..... Tonyebacarnista ( A prose specialist)

7......

8.....

9......

10......

There are a couple of Moderators who actually deserve the cut, but I do not want to expose this thread to the risk of being perceived as an attempt to kiss up to any moderator, especially after being the subject of many bans I consider ridiculous.

ayodele234:
keep dreaming. Your brain have been devastated by CNN. The US. army is a paper tiger they only fight farmers like Afghanistan, Libya and funny the Taliban who fought with sticks and stone beat the hell out of harmburger overweight US. troops. You know nothing about military engagement, the US. dropped more bombs in Vietnam than all the bombs used in World War 2 but still got their ass whopped. When the air war is over it will take North Korea just 2 weeks to make the Americans run with their tails between their legs. America have never won a war in Asia and funny North Korea defeated before.

May Logic forgive your sacrilegious utterances. You're the perfect reason I detest sensitive threads hitting front page as they are soon hijacked by mediocre and emotional squealers.

Firstly north Korea has no war experience and has never fought a real war for decades. 2ndly, she is too poor to project any real war for a long time. The US has the greatest military projection on earth. They have been having heavy military engagements since world war 2 across the globe. You say America has not won a war in Asia? What about Japan? The japanese surrender in '46

Taliban is a group who don't fight conventionally, they are a terrorist group. Vietnam was lost to political will and objective not on casualties.


Now you compare US to north Korea and I'll say you haven't learnt anything. Japan is more advanced than Korea with a thousand years. She has the most advanced navy in Asia.

"Who has the strongest military in Africa" is the thread we debate military matters on this platform with foreigners. I have never seen you there, not once. And you claim to be our resident expert with this rubbish?


Front page opportunist!

firstEVA:
I decided to be the bigger person, and it made be feel better actually. Then I got some good news from home.

you know I'm a grown-ass kid and have done really _stupid things in my life

I can't suppress the little boy in me who keeps yearning for EVA-cookies

Ganjafama:
A lot of folks here are saying that US fears N Korea. I laugh in Greek. It is well know fact N Korea has nuclear bombs. What people don't know is that using any of those bombs on S Korea or US is SUICIDAL. North Korea can only test bombs but they dare not use it, otherwise, their country would cease to exist.

Lolz, The only threat North Korea poses is to South Korea. None of her war heads are inter continental. None can reach the borders of US.

In addition, North Korea has no economy to sustain any war for even a week.

Most of Korea's claim to sophisticated missiles are wrapped in deceit. Her latest claims to have tested a modern nuclear has been debunked by experts.

In the event of a war, the US only needs to do little, Japan, having the most advanced navy in that region and South Korea will wipe the North out of the map.

Lots of folks don't know that what Nigeria has done is diplomatic alignment of support. Ignorant folks spewing ignorance with confidence.

Nigeria spoke similarly against Gaddafi's Lybia, Aparthied South Africa.

By diplomatically condemning North Korea's activities, diplomatic pressure is affirmed and international allies are made.

Nations are like individuals. And just because I can't fight you doesn't mean I won't criticise your actions and pitch tent against you with those who can.

RiloKiley:
And society and family have suffered because of it. An irresponsible and effeminate man makes for a dysfunctional family. The woman is not happy and the children have no direction in life or they grow up with a feministic approach to things and abhor anything manly.

Man, I just followed you now. Your philosophy is frightfully similar to mine in this regard.

We are a dying breed and there's need for the awakening of masculine responsibility and consciousness.

Thanks.

RiloKiley:
A great man once said "it is better to live one day as a lion than a hundred years as a snail." We rule the world bro. Without real men in the world who took risks, made exploits and became great leaders , the world wouldn't be as advanced as it is today.
And tomorrow when the world goes down in flames we will still be at the forefront, bearing the brunt and holding the line.
Men rock.

Men has always pioneered civilisations, inventions, nations and technology and will always pay the price with their lives.

However, the 21st century male has been greatly compromised by feminist recurring fads. Men are beginning to abhore leadership and responsibility both to society and family.

RiloKiley:
Interesting.
Of course its the testosterone. It burns us up, making men take more risks, accrue more injuries , and generally increasing our chances of wear and tear and eventually death. Women have no such stimulations and so their 'engines' last longer.

So much for being man

You do realise once your thread makes front page, you can't do an edit or modification, right? It is actually taken from you by Seun's virtual soldiers

Except my threads on bashing south Africa and Ghana, I prefer them within my sphere of influence.

And my best moments in NL was when two of my Ghana-dissing thread struck front page. It was pure, undiluted ecstasy

I did one with postman's moniker and the other with mine.

firstEVA:

@ bolded, I meant it in a hyperbolic sense. Actual figure is over 1.5 million.

firstEVA:
your thread on spousal age difference was clear in my opinion, but I was amazed to see the number of likes the guy who said you used big big grammar got, it got me lol.

It means this one is for only a handful of Nairalanders.

NL has a tradition: first/early quotes get likes alot whether it is logical, mediocre or down right silly.

And without being snobbish, once a thread hits front page, it is out of the control of the authour, especially when written fresh from personal opinion and experience as material.

There are over 3million subscribers and majority has comprehension insufficiency and logical bankruptcy.

Sometimes, I detest my thread making front page, I prefer to keep it in a closer, smaller circle of readership I can interact with, debate with and exchange views.

firstEVA:
cool

It's not meant to be popular at all. The readership is for those with high reflective and sophisticated mind. The language won't be the everyday prosody.

It may take a couple of readings to get the import clearly.

firstEVA:
haven't said so.

My phone crashed

Lolz, It's been a crazy, fun week both here and online. And I predict the virtual world is building REAL bridges that merged the real one into one seamless world.

It's sobering and reflective. That is my upcoming thread. So much happening.

firstEVA:
ok, u need all the concentration you can get.

Are you saying you're in the way, in my head?

firstEVA:
on what?

Sex, Diction, and The Virtual world in The 21st century.

firstEVA:
fine, yours?

Short and in intervals, doing some writing.

firstEVA:
I am awake

How'd your night go?

firstEVA:
Lezz

Hello, brightness.
You should be in bed.

Lsofdk:
lol, only if you knew her

Her?? never heard or read of her until now.

Is she sensual, touchy or wierd?

Any history of controversy or she's just fun?

rejoicebae:
itz a hit,,,almost perfect,,jex my type of tin,,i love pre-intimacy mur dan d main stuff

That's my kind of girl; sensual, warm and loveable.

I think I can spend 45 minutes just prepping you up and getting you wet and damp and limp from desire. And I wouldn't even have to do a full penetration with you.

Just penile head deep, with the sharp demarcation of the cap of my penis giving your vagina lips a greasy friction of darting ins and outs.

Lsofdk:
where have you been since? you need pay irunooboo visit

what the hell is that ? A place, event or person?

BlaqCoffee109:
..hmmm, interesting to note...experience indeed!

Experience, my dear. My fingers are only an extension of me depicting what I have lived.

A conjurement of hanging and blurred images brought fresh in digital print for you.

rejoicebae:
Hmmmm,dx guy has come again

Nice to know you remember me Now tell me, how do you score my narrative?

I don't mean the literary efforts, I mean the actual depiction of sex I portrayed.

BlaqCoffee109:
...those folks would rather you stay true to the er.otical coaching sessions...fascinating your anology,near poetic

Lolz, I miss them sometimes, so I actually seek them out when I'm feeling up to it.

Thanks for your approval, my scriptings are spawned from experience.....lol

Creamish:
Hmm... but my face wasn't visible.. thanx tho.

Yes it was particularly. Not so large eyes but large enough. A nose of royal moulding, tilting at the end nostrils. I carry your image engraved in my heart

Creamish:
hahaha.. Red it is! Your words make the dead come alive. It takes the strength of a thousand men to pull a woman out of your vocal coven!

My Vocal Wizard!

Sometimes words are borne from impression.

I still remember your long discarded DP: long dark hair, sitting on a car and your beauty had grace of edifying sophistication that compels one to look a bit longer than one should.
