₦airaland Forum

Seun it's time to wear your thinking cap. Why has nairaland not evolve over the years? To have at least a social media Variant.

2go never evolved that's why it died

CSTRR:
This guy is a very patriotic south African.

Unfortunately, your social apps can't fly.

You guys can't write two sentences without including Zulu or xhosa in between.

LMAO!!!!!!!

TMKsouth:
Lol , you mean like the posts below? I've been on NL for 3 years despite the excessive use of pidgin. So you'll survive SA forums as well.

Exactly like the posts in your attachment

Meanwhile, pidgin is a broken form of English, but you Southies lock outsiders out with your language that no one understands

Sorry bout that. But when we engage with other Africans we strictly use English, obviously. Internally though, I don't think things are gonna change anytime soon - we're still trying to assert & celebrate ourselves after marginalisation during apartheid.

but why do u guys do that? U guys and Kenyans always mix English with tribal language

Rahkman:

That's because we're proud Africans. There are over 2000 languages on the continent and yet we've allowed a foreign language to dominate us all.

Gadafii:
chief, you guys have looting and arsonist Spirit in your DNA, you blame everyone else but ur selves, you guys have terrible reputation amongst your selves, you don't miss the slightest opportunity to loot and people's shops, why

We saw a nigga the other day loading his Benz with looted grocery during the protest, I guess he's a Nigerian too, right.

We know MTN is a fraudster, same for DStv

As for your information, you guys can never have a platform as big and diverse as nairaland, you can go revamp your 2go shiit, but nairaland is the biggest platform.

If Facebook and other social media shut down,and MTN or DStv decided to go, we got other platforms to latch on to. But what are you guys going to do, you will be bored to death without nairaland in ur lives

Funny u didn't respond to Nigerian drug dealing in SA - not even a single word

Anyway, there are only like 10 South Africans on NL so don't flatter yourself. You on the other hand, were 10 million on 2go.

If FB and others leave SA, indigenous networks will quickly spring up, it's been done b4 so your point is moot. I explained this in the OP - goodness, it's like I'm engaging a child.

The Merc guy looting was my thread, so that shows we don't hide or deny our problems in SA (like u deny dealing in drugs on a rampant scale in SA). In that same thread it also stated that South Africans were outraged by his actions and that's why his case was prioritised. Did u conveniently miss that part? So there's no such thing as looting is in our DNA.

U also looted Shoprite and other SA businesses in Nigeria as a form of protest. The same is the case in SA - people loot as a form of protest. To your detriment though, SA companies are packing up and leaving Nigeria (sending u back to open-air markets) - the same is not the case in SA (they innovate to keep us comfortable following the protests).

It'll be difficult for any company to achieve what Nairaland have achieved so far...

MySpace came and went, Nairaland dey
2go came and went same thing,
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram came, Nairaland still dey...

anyway good luck creating your own Randland Abi Una go name am Randland .

I doubt it. Honestly, South Africans don't known about NL.

So u guys owned mxit. I call it mixit then. That was where i met avontuur b4 we took our lovey dovey to f.b. It was such a boring S.N though. I only liked it bcuz i could use 2go to chat with people on mxit.

It then means most monikers who post very disturbing stuffs are not even Nigerians. When one read such post, one begin to wonder if it was made by aliens. When one don't have any connection to a country, that person can make senseless statement just to cause crisis in the country. Smh

UndauntedYOCA:
That'd be nice! I hope it will be properly maintained and that it stands the test of time and not crash. Anticipating!
I never did 2go though.

Did anyone ever asked u if u did 2go

It created lovely memories 4 u though, that's why u still remember avontuur. Hopefully the new ones won't be as boring 4 u.

TMKsouth:
Victimhood. Ask yourself first why Nigerians have a terrible reputation in SA. Anyway, not going there today. Show me reports of Nigerian professionals or students "clubbed to death in SA". There are NONE. We actually invite and welcome people with critical skills - that's your reward for "what Nigeria had done for my country".

These others below are definitely not welcome (although I don't condone violence & speak against it), just as they wouldn't be tolerated in any other country around the world.

Same people using MTN and DSTV are telling me to go to Randland

So Glo isnt in south africa?

Yeahhh.

Nope.
These are the networks in SA. Virgin Mobile (UK) just pulled out - stiff local competition.

Silentgroper:

Why u guys so offended? You're nosy .

We speak local when engaging local social media handles. Besides, SA is the whole world to many people - outsiders are an afterthought unfortunately.

Uhmm, debatable. I struggle a lot.

I'm just saying I don't mind if I don't understand every little thing you're saying in your languages on NL - that's why I said you're "nosy". No offence.

U just need to understand that SA was a closed off country for half a century so we learnt to be self-reliant and inward looking. So to this day we think locally first.
