Things We Didn't Know Before Internet by jimi4us(op): 8:43am On Jul 22, 2025
Before the Internet, we didn’t even know how dumb Nigerian Politicians and Nigerian News papers were. We suspected of course, but now we have proof.

Another thing we didn't know was that majority of Nigerian girls and even some married women are coded ölöshos.


Pranksters have exposed many promiscuous ones, just show them cash and car and they'll follow you to wherever you take them to.

We also didn't know how easy ilvisa applications for relocation or studies was...

Traveling agents preyed so much on the ignorance of so many.

I had the privilege of using internet when it was still new in Nigeria. There is this cyber cafe owned by one of our family friend, I always get unlimited access to Internet. The Ac at that cafe mad. How time flies

Back then the interest was mostly on myspace and tagged, Facebook is yet to be known then

My first ever gf used to work as a cafe attendance. And as a cafe attendant, she’s entitled to certain amount of internet access per day! ... Omo, nah me and her dey use ham together anytime I go greet her then 😃. I used that opportunity to learn a lot of things on computer..

If I’m to compare internet of today to those days, to me, those days made more sense! Only wise people surf internet then unlike today wey internet is filled with dummies!
