Lemme narrate somethings for you.

Apple

If Steve Job had asked for your opinion the day he conceived the name "Apple" as a company name what would you have told him?

This is probably how the conversation would've gone.

Steve: I have a company and I want to call it Apple.
You: Steve, you're very stupid. The apple we eat? I promise you that company will fail.
Steve: Alright, watch out.

Steve: This is the logo
You: God damn it! Steve are you okay? This apple wey rat do chop half?

Nairaland

Séun: Darling, I have a new idea. I want to build a forum called Nairaland.
You: You must be joking. Is Naira a plane? Where in wan land? I been think say you sabi book o! Now, I'm doubting your intelligence.
You: Think of another name joor, else it'll fail.
Séun: Let's watch out.

After some months

You: Wow! You're serious o! Naira don finally land, but I don't like the design it looks too archaic to me. Make it more flashy. And the logo is too simple.
Séun: No! Leave it simple and archaic like that.

5 or 10 years later

You: Wow! Millions of people visit your site? Oh boy, you don hammer o!

Microsoft:

Bill Gate: I want to start up a company called Microsoft
You: Micro gini? I dey laugh you. In fact, name am microhard, microporn or microwave. Mtcheeew
You: Bill, I like you and I'll always advice you as a friend to use your name or something more reasonable like "God is Good," "The Best of the Best." And so on.
Bill Gate: Don't worry, my instinct tells me to go with Microsoft.
Bill Gate: Look at the logo I came up with.
You: You're not serious. This logo is too colorful and anything that's too colorful is childish.
Bill Gate: Abeg, leave am like that. Go joor

Dry Gin

Chelsea Dry Gin: My woman, come. I know I'm high with this schnapps I drank in Chiwetala Agu's house. I want to come up with my own company too.
You: Hmmm! Honey stop drinking too much.
Chelsea Dry Gin: I have drank and drank and drank and my bone is so dry. So, I want to my drink to be "Dry Gin"
You: Mtcheeeeew
You: Free me abeg, like my brother Terry G. If you like name am "Wet Gin" no body go buy am.

There are so many companies you'll HATE their names, but the moment they become popular you'll forget how awkward the names were. Money/fame stops nonsense.

The first day I heard of a soccer player called "Messi" I was shock. How can somebody answer "Messi" (Mercy is okay), but now I love Messi more than people with better names like...

I saw another one called "Hazard." I just gave up. I f'ing love him. So, it's not the name, it's what the name can offer.

So, don't be disappointed. After 2-5 years you're allowed to be disappointed.

Tonto Diké

Tonto Bae, I want to become an actress.
You: Hmmm! That's good
You: But industry guys and directors go bang you scarra. I just dey pity that place.
Tonto: Which place?
You: Don't worry.

After a year

You: Bae, you've started smoking weed? God forbid! No man will marry you.
Tonto: Hmm! You think so, just watch out.

After some years

You: Pastors all my friends are married, even the ones that smoke Oshobgbo weed. Her husband even bought her an iPhone 7. My boyfriend can't even send me a 30 Naira recharge card. Please help me. I'm dying inside.

Lesson:

It's not about what makes sense or what's bad, but about what turns around for good when the time is right.

Glassdoll:
I will leave that for you to ponder on

Glassdoll:

iLegend:
The Fashion Section alone has 20 Sub forums. I'm working on reducing things. The WETCLEF Zone is my lecture arena. When it's done I'll definitely broadcast it.

Inside my brain After a year, I'll hand that zone over to a management and start something new. Wetclefers are born to diversify, unlike the Nigerian Economy.

iLegend:
When I was buying and hosting right and the domain name I googled it to be sure I'm safe.

I saw the site you posted above. My mind flew. I thought WETCLEF.com was already taken.

With a pounding heart, I brought out my MasterCard, logged into my trusted domain and hosting company, typed "WETCLEF.com" and they said, "congratulation WETCLEF.com is available." I happily typed my account detail without minding internet fraud. Yeah, I trust the company sha.

which site did i post

Lol

iLegend:
girls around me call he crazy, mad man, mumu, jerk, naughty and so many other bad names, then they'll hit my shoulder and I'll spank them. They'll come back for more the next day.

As a virgin, I always tell them to back off. My Larabae13 may skin them alive.

iLegend:
Wotclef

When I saw it during my research I thought it was WETCLEF. Iyaf almost die. Lol

iLegend:
I want to do night browsing/windows update today.

I have all the sims and I have bought cards for all of them. Please recommend a good night plan.

Don't mention Airtel abeg. I love Airtel, but their 2Gig is staring at me and another 444MB is also staring at me in my second sim.

So, tell me about MTN or Glo.

Guys 'epp me.

well, mtn has the worst Night Data plan,

I don't use Glo because the network is not too good here,

try google bro!

iLegend:
HEY HEY HEY. The mods are not smiling. Berl ynn what did you give to your boyfriend or husband? He has removed another of my thread again (for the third time).

If I use brute force I'll turn NL into my náked dancing forum.

My apologies if I have violated any rules. Rules are meant to be obeyed. God bless.

iLegend:
Sometimes, I get scared of google, because of information overload. I love hearing it from people that are currently doing it.

Anyways, I'll try a #25 MTN night plan. They said it's 500MB but what I'll do requires at least 1Gig. And some people said the 500MB is Lai Mohammed's cousin. They said it's actually 300MB. I'll try it anyways.

DavidTheGeek:
iLegend it seems Glassdoll has a secret crush on you.


Good luck with your forum bro. Don't let anyone's negativity get to you.

iLegend:
I'm only having a discussion, but bad bellé is allowed sha. We hate when someone is about to rise let alone rise above us.

I no gree na in dey tear shirt. You've been heard my brethren. Mouthpiece of the people I hear you. Your job na to come put sand for my garri abi. God will judge you.

Those people you mentioned hit front page at least twice a week.

Because I say the truth, out of 140+ threads I have on NL only two made front page and those two are not things that'll benefit me. They were things that benefited others. When you're being marginalized you need to pull out like Biafra (or try to) or act like everyone else.

If I want to make front page I'll also use google and hijack other people's Top 10 posts online and I'll make front page, but I have decided to be original. Out of all my 140+ posts I have NEVER copied anything from a site. If you doubt, then copy some parts of my posts and post it on google and see how you'll be redirected to Nairaland.

If only you know the amount of people who message me to say thank you for my posts. They tell me how it changed their lives. If you read all these success stories you feel pity for me for not being recognized by making front page. But, as a calm guy, I'll keep calm. Make una enjoy. Where ever I go I either stand out for something good or bad or I back off.

Keep safe!
