Woah, you're such a long time user
You deserve a badge of honour

I was surfing on net around 2014 one day like that and i clicked on a link like that " boooom! "Voir-la strange people gossiping about our Yeye-country people.
The like of Wisesolo caught my attention and some other stupid individual like that, so I decided to register to reply them.

2007, then we were looking for old Coca-Cola and gin bottles... we were brainwashed those were selling for a fortune
Since then, Nairaland has been a massive source of good information.

I found out about NL just last month! I was reading the news about how an online forum called NL is a good litmus test for potentially shady job interviews. I googled and found NL, a faceless forum with a thread for almost any topic imaginable. You can actually have intelligent discussions which is a far cry from FB, Instagram and all those other social media platforms. Hubby is skeptical and says to watch out for perverts, but I havent met any yet...everyone has been very respectful towards me, so far. The forum is entertaining and enlightening and I wish I had found it sooner.

You are welcome
I hope you continue to enjoy the regards you've been given here.

This place has its bad eggs, they will surely come even when they weren't invited. But this place has a lot of good to offer than the other side of it

Romanoff:


Yes na. Years from now, one small pikin too go dey tell you the same thing.

Cycle of life.

Smile circle of life

Joined nairaland 2006, no regrets since den.

Raymond0008:
Naijaloaded, when tosysne use to drop 10 things about this and that and the site redirect me here in 2014

Lol... I think he also did that here, it was quite popular years back.

Through my elder sister. Back in 2013 when she was preparing to go for nysc. I would always see her following up on the nysc section so one day I decided to ask her the name of the site and now I'm preparing to go on my own nysc in a few months time and I'm also following up on the sections just like she did back then thank you Nairaland

Ihatemen:
I hate men

Noted, and thanks for the welcome.

2005 through a friend that always using nairaland to search for jobs.
I kept coming as a guest. Then discovered naijapals and joined there because back then it was more active than nairaland. All of a sudden in 2010, the naijapals guy out of greed created and was forcefully redirecting everybody to when you want to comment.
I jejely came back to nairaland. I still miss the confession room at naijapals

I was looking for phone specs back then. Somewhere around 2013 - 2014 Can't really remember the exact year.

But each time I search for phones specs, Nairaland pops up. And I. Really loved the way the made the reviews understandable.

So each time I want to know the specs of a phone, I attach Nairaland at the end. If the review is not on Nairaland I move to other website.

I became an active news reader for almost two years, the joined the platform in 2019.

Met Nairaland many years ago. Was looking for one software like dat.

That was in my SS2. Then Waptrick.com and wapking.mobi was my favourite site for everything.

Those days when we rocked Symbian phones.

Typing these makes me nostalgic

2009 .....can’t remember how sha, weda frds or my bro ...

Through a friend, since then na here I dey sleep because it always make my day.

I got to know about nairaland through my English teacher in ss3. He was always telling us that we need to leave our comfort zone and know more about the worl because we would be leaving school. Nairaland has really helped me...

I have been here since 2013.... First as a guest and later as a member. I found it on my own. I was an internet maniac

I just love this site called nairaland.com, gained a lot here, and with lots of good analytic information, counter thread, basic treatments to life threatening diseases and bacteria. Lots of life saving information, not a day without checking out nairaland.com . It's been all fun.

I can't remember how I got to know about it. Probably through ads I guess.

The name NAIRALAND got me.
Twas in 2007 when some folks were criticizing the Nigeria movie company "NOLLYWOOD" that they should at least coin something like nairaland. I was awed by the name and had to check it out. I liked the name but never surf it for a second time.

In 2019, I was in a barbershop when a fellow customer-in-waiting was periodically laughing like a hynae. He'd burst laughing once in awhile and I wondered why such a grown-up would laugh out so loud like that.
Shortly, the guy showed us some comments and emojis and funny pictures. I couldn't helped but joined in the laughter.

When I got home, i checked nairaland. And then in the nite I continued. I can't 4get d first day I read some topics. I laughed my eyes out almost all thru the nite over comments.

My gain
When I joined nairaland, I was nursing social anxiety & depression. I had lost virtually everything to armed robbers who visited me in my house and I was down mentally. So, nairaland comments and some stupeed argument and experience and analysis and views and monikers such as lalasticlala, false prophet, etc. Aswertogod, this forum has helped my mental state a lot. I don't know how to laugh or joke or mess around due to personal belief cum training but this forum has enhanved all those emotions. I wish I had joined nl before 2019. I love Nigerian youths. You guys are d best: they are always broke but happy, crazy but fun, wreck less but smart & intelligent. I can't describe y'all.

I don't think we can have Nigerians kind of human beings anywhere in the world.

Your gains and description of Nigerian youths made me teary.

HandsomeHITLER:
Was drinking beer... Had an argument with some friends, someone close to my seat decided to research our topic of discussion... Then as he showed me the news on Nairaland; I was more concerned about the comments as they were funny. So thereon I kept browsing the page

Gone are the when days when discussions are comical on Nairaland. This days everyone just wants to insult another at any given opportunity

Have been around since 2006

Babtunz:


And jsyk, I am a silent reader of the Travel section (you probably know why, lol) it's one of my favorite parts of this place. Another favorite section of mine on this platform is the Programming section

The information and knowledge that I have gotten from this place is invaluable, and I'm grateful to the creator and management for their efforts.

Babtunz I try to visit the programming section but all post I see there are always like 2016 or 14...infact they're not recent posts, how do I view recent post in different sections ??
