₦airaland Forum

So last night I was searching for an information here on Nl and then I found a fellow Nlander who I feel could help.. He had his contact displayed on his status, so I picked the number. It was around 12 last night so I didn't want to bother him that late, this afternoon, I messaged him on Whatsapp and he just blocked me..

I thought that to be very rude and e pain me..

Why are some persons like this

He did the right thing. You should have notified him before chatting him up on whatsapp.

Not everyone is cool headed and chat with strangers from the blues. A simple introduction would have been Okay.

When you send cold chats to strangers, do try to introduce yourself and the purpose of the chat in the first message. If possible, you may also mention how you got the number.

It makes life easier for both of you.

For instance the fellow didn't know you're from Nairaland so there's no "fellow nairalander" for now

Right, but he had his contact littered all over Nl.. And I didn't even get the chance to introduce myself... If you don't want strangers, why do you have your phone number all over the Internet??
