In my Secondary School and University WhatsApp groups,
I hardly Comment or make contributions.

I see them online talking about social media trends, Our School days, Visitations,etc and I always Wonder 'Do these Pple have Jobs and ambitions?'.

I talked to a Friend of mine About this and he said 'I am Anti-Social or an Introvert'.

But Really, I see those Alumni WhatsApp Groups as an Organization of Time Wasters.

HOW ABOUT YOU?
Comment.

It's actually for jobless, unproductive and less busy people

It's not. Those who are not jobless, what have they achieved? Are they same level with Dangote?
Ego is another major problem in our society.

Lols omoh

It simply a group of people, attempting to leach on the more successful group members.......


Almost blaming the successful one's, for their woes....... 😁🤣

TRUE,
Some are Just there, Quietly Scanning for any Coursemate who has made it BIG
So that they can Para the person Later.

Not that They have any Meaningful contributions to make in the Group.

Please just remain inactive there. At least nobody will say you don't have classmates or you didn't go to school. If you ask Tinubu, you will know the importance of classmates.

WhatsApp group is NOT the only means one can Link up with his/her Coursemates or Sec school mates Plz.😏😕

It depends on your alma mater.

My secondary school alumni association donates money for sick members and for members hosting events. Those hosting events are not mandated to give the association anything. Accept the alumni's donation and serve the alumni whatever you can afford. Two or three years ago, they talked about asking members in diaspora to help members in Nigeria to japa. But that topic didn't get a serious attention.

My university alumni association funds dinner night for graduating students every year and occasionally call members for get-together events without mandatory contributions from members. The rich ones silently donate the money.

It's a good one. Most of those Associations don't force people to contribute but could be useful in resuscitating old colleagues.

True, especially those University groups where there was no sincere cohesion and bonding during school days, whatever they are doing now is just a waste of time because those negative perception will still be in the minds of many amongst them. Everyone should jut FAC themselves or mini groups that trey share Same ideologies together

I exited mine when I heard our results are approved! I’ve never regretted it. The course rep assumed the place of Alpha and Omega over us while in school.

It's a waste of time, my own is to read comments and look away because I know them, most of them don't really care about each other, what they do is to form fake love while forgetting how they were antagonizing each during our school days.

My Alumni group has really helped me alot.

we do help ourselves

did not place priority on celebrations except to help ourselves


it has really helped my business alot

My secondary school alumni group is very ok

Secondary school alumni are better!

VinnyBaba:
Introvert Maybe,
Anti-Social, NO!

Seriously, Most discussions in Alumni Whatsapp Groups are Merry-go-round, MEANINGLESS topics.

Peter My Man, how you dey, Magdalene our Chairlady, How far, etc.
You CAN'T use it to compare Nairaland as someone here has attempted to do.

Then find one to create. Stop waiting for who will do it. Start with cautioning the idea of conversations that are meant to be private.

Doings dae everywhere, nah you go decide where you wan belong.

Do you still expect people to hold grudges over what has happened during their time in school?

That coat you wear has contributed to your isolation.

Some still can...pray to not have a psychopath in the group....that's it.

Is a waste of time totally, sometimes dey do talk about relationships self

dkidd:

You don't have speak this way. Not everyone is lucky like you to get job.

This life no balance

There is nothing without merits and demerits. For such group that was founded, runned, and administered on good ideology of friendship for betterment of themselves and old school, it is good.

Like immature group of yours.

Joining Alumni WhatsApp groups is typically voluntary, giving individuals the freedom to participate or not, based on their interests and objectives. These groups indeed foster a sense of community among like-minded individuals, allowing for the development of connections and relationships.

Transitioning from online WhatsApp interactions to face-to-face gatherings adds another layer of depth to the community experience. For example, in my Alumni we meet periodically. Pay a stipulated monthly dues (this is the only compulsory thing). They organised a football competition with a trophy and cash prize to the winners last year. Members benefit from group life insurance coverage, that pays a minimum of N2,000,000 to the next of kin on demise of the member. Job offers are abound, though competence and ability is paramount. We do not contribute for birthdays/burials. However, freewill donations are encouraged to run the Alumni. In a nutshell, the Alumni I belong to is subsided by a few members.

What keeps the association together is passion. If everyone sees it as a pot to draw funds then it would collapse. Its is a wrong assumption that everyone on the group is jobless. The strength of any Alumni is diversity of talents, experiences, and contributions of its members. I believe that is the contact everyone seems to be looking for.

VinnyBaba:
Na that Burial ceremony dey Tire me Pass.

Some even Travel Distances to such Burial ceremonies.🤨

I am always like 'So this Person does not Have a Job or Things to do with his/her Time'? 🤨😒

Has your job made you billions yet?

In mine, members has gotten jobs through members, many contracts gets awarded and executed amongst us, our yearly together have ensured intra group marriages too so it's never a waste of time for us and yes, we are employed and most of us are doing just fine.

Maybe yours isn't well organized and doesn't have clear set goals and objectives tailored at achieving worthwhile

Kcfresh2103:
how to leave the group is my major problem now. I have discovered that the major reason why my group was set up is for some guys to show off. Unnecessary show off. Secondly, our head girl has factionalized the whole system. What ever she and her cacus members decide is final. I don pay money for burial tire. Those who do not have money to pay for any events are being discriminated against.

Offline are you not discriminated if you lack money?

Yes they can be if the focus isn't set from the onset......once a while it's nice to relive the good ol' days

20% of my secondary school classmates are doing well (some overseas, others I can call VERY rich).

50% are doing well but not even up to me, but they are trying to 'keep up with the Joneses' (showing off) one was looking down on me because I dont care about fashion meanwhile the caas in my bag was probably his one year salary.

The unfortunate 30% I pray God answers their prayers. They are struggling.

These social media groups are used to show off. USELESS!... I always leave when someone adds me...

Back in 2009 they were oppressing people with pictures of their cars and what not, but as soon as Instagram allowed Android, and they saw real flexing and real money, all their cars and houses looked local so they privatized it. Some people can not be happy until they show off to the less privileged.

Just for the records, I only graduated sec school to pleas my father. Infact, when they called us for group class phonograph (after our last paper), I literally ran away while they were calling me. My SS3 years, I would take attendance in the morning and then leave to town until closing time. I felt cheated when they didn't made me a prefect. God knows if not for my father, I would have drooped out of sec school and would probably be rich by now. I really didn't learn anything meaningful in university. Reading and writing was enough.

It was a preview of what is going on the the civil service.

Those of my friends that are prominent, I have never asked them for favour but they respect me like I respect them, but if we were not close back then, I often greet lightly or just ignore. Thanks be to God, I am not a panhandler.

So you're still beefing people over things that happened over 20 years ago when you were in school?!
