What if Rule 21 were to be enforced by Moderators?

No one has ever got the stick for breaking that rule yet. I suspect rule 21 is more of an advisory and preferential imploration to grace posts with standard English than the need to keep nuisance out of threads.


But still, Some Nairalanders have taken the pain and effort to write in an enthralling manner with certain panache and precision. Their literary efforts and phraseology draped in all shades of styles are as different as their personalities.

These nairalanders either have the innateness to write in an attention-grabbing way or they slogged to develop their writing proficiency which often entertains me more than the message they seek to convey.

I have selected 10 nairlanders whose pennings have served and entertained my mental perceptions for the entire duration of my nairaland stay. I beleive good writing is a mark of superior breeding and peerage .


I should point that their entire posts/threads are not without some gramatical blemish (As are mine or anyone else's) which is to be expected given the nature associated with writing on an online platform like this; most posts are done on mobile gadgets in between daily routine of work or studies, and always with swinging epinephrine and emotional reflections.

There is little moment for proof-reading and even less for aloofness in critical appraisals for grammatical marrings.

Seasoned, professional writers have the time of luxury and materials to have their scriptings error-proofed either by themselves or professionals. No such luxury is availed a nairalander who writes post and threads in real-time and often with emotional attachments.


The top 10 phrasemakers in my subjective conclusion to have graced Nairaland in recents times are --- in the order of hierarchy:


1.. TV01 . ( Rich in clever placement of everyday words
and has a varied stock of simple and
sophisticated vocabulary)



2.. TheSonofmark (Word-generator, clever use of
compound words in depicting
situations)


3... Mizmycoli ( good narrator and logical in
composition)


4... Ishilove ( prudish and sanctimonious but a
good writer still)



5.... Mindfulness ( philosophically to the left but a
a brillaint wordsmith, argumenta-
tive still)



6..... Tonyebacarnista ( A prose specialist)

7......

8.....

9......

10......

There are a couple of Moderators who actually deserve the cut, but I do not want to expose this thread to the risk of being perceived as an attempt to kiss up to any moderator, especially after being the subject of many bans I consider ridiculous.

Hmmm! I see you took my advice on number ( ), since you considered leaving out the occupier for holding a view contrary to yours.

If you had done like you threatened , I would have come after you with my stick.

By the way, you came up to my thread, had a passing glance and went as quietly as you came.
If you ain't gonna comment on my thread, then don't visit.

@ishilove, you seem to act out the very adjectives the OP qualified you with. By the way, you re not the person in the empty bracket.

sinequanon:
Not anything.

Anything more than flirting is off limits.

All I am saying is that, unlike for most men, flirting can act as a release valve for women. They don't actually take it any further. It just helps them with confidence in themselves.

But, if you shut off the valve, it can suddenly explode, and she will cheat.

So, it is counterproductive to be a control freak.

Now you've drawn a line! And I respect it.

firstEVA:
i dont consider any online love or romance as unfaithfulness though

whats your line?

Didn't I suspect that would come?
Well, my line is hidden deep in this post and all my comments here.
Try and look and tell me if you find it.

sinequanon:
I can see why some Nigerian relationships become dysfunctional when the couple moves abroad to the US or UK. All this control freakery becomes much harder, and folk end up doing things that wind them up in jail.

You are with a woman. A woman is attracted to men. That is her biology and psychology. No amount of control freakery is going to change it. So you'd better learn how to live with it.

It is better to allow your woman to flirt and dress the way she wants!

The reactions and compliments will make her more self-assured.

If she is the multiple partners type, you will know early and she will soon be gone, because you have given her plenty of rope to express herself. Let her go.

If she is the loyal type, her confidence will strengthen her loyalty, because the loyal types only cheat when they need validation or have become bored.

So, going with the flow of what a woman does naturally, is a win-win situation. She will be happy, she will be loyal, and you will be happy. Or..

she will be gone EARLY, and you will be happy and grateful.

Quite some liberal point of view. Everyone's opinion is welcome.
So are you saying in your relationship with your significant other, anything goes?

firstEVA:
postmann, its a tough one

I thought so. But there is a line for everyone. Some can draw a line for their significant other and draw a different line for themselves.

But it's a question that help us know eachother better.

skarlett:
Really?

Or are you not? I presumed that whatever birthed the idea of your comment is healthy enough to instill an above average moral standard in you.

skarlett:
I draw mine right from his affiliation with females who are non-family members

Your comment got me laughing for the matter of fact way you stated your opinion.

I think you're uncorrupted and untouched by the 21st century moral decay.

firstEVA, come have your say.

ATMC:
You don't stop living because you are loving. Where to draw the line on unfaithfulness should be based on your vow. Did you vow to have intimacy. with only him/her, then if you do otherwise, you are being unfaithful.


Did you promise to chat with only him/her, share secret with only him/her, kiss only him/her then do not do otherwise for you will be rightly accused of not being faithful to ur vow.


I won't consider my partner's admiration of another as an act of unfaithfulness because he didn't promise to admire me alone. I feel pain though that he admires another but instead of charging him with unfaithfulness, I will deal with the jealousy in me.


I expect he understands this.

Largely true. But there are different kinds of admiration. A sexual admiration (lust) in this case, I, in my own opinion considers it unfaithful.

And of course there is righteous jealousy; A right to be jealous when what truly belongs to you, or what you are entitled to is being given to another.

Smellymouth:
She can't just start having sex with the opposite sex.. it starts with the hugging, flirting, dates etc

True. But you haven't drawn a line yet.
Where is your own line, hugging, flirting?
Which action from your significant other will you deem unfaithful?

Like what constitutes and indecent dress, people's opinion differs. There isn't a straight definitely line.
opinions seem to vary.
While almost all (if not all) people agree that public nudity is unacceptable, there is divers opinions to what what constitute an indecent dress.

Some conservatives would outrightly condemn any kind of pants/trousers for women, some liberals feel it's OK for ladies to put on pants as long as they're having a top long enough to cover their thigh regions. The preferences vary even further.

But where would you as an individual draw the line of unfaithfulness? What actions would you consider an act of unfaithfulness by your significant other?

Most of us probably would agree sex is a red card.
But what about other actions? Like hugging, flirting, kissing, online chats, fantasising, sharing personal secret, dates, going out for lunch with the opposite sex, and of course sex?

Where would you draw the line of unfaithfulness?

Is your significant other aware where your line of unfaithfulness is drawn? Does he/she know the detail of your interactions and activities with the opposite sex?
Would it be awkward if he/she knows?

Please candidly share your thoughts on this faceless platform where your own line of unfaithfulness is.

...but you're strong.
light as a feather
yet indestructable.
who can thread in your footsteps
where the road is transparent
like an ocean covered in ice?
Not the weak in their roaring facade
Who make up for their fears and shortfalls
But humble in your feelings
Gentle in persuation,
Transparent like the innocence of the morning,
You're firstEVA

firstEVA:
I decided to be the bigger person, and it made be feel better actually. Then I got some good news from home.

You've always been the bigger person and it's good you're walking in your own giant strides. What took you this long?
Now that's some good news!!!
Congrats for the good news at home!

#crisismanageress

firstEVA:
what do you want to hear hahahahaha

What triggered it and how you're managing it.

firstEVA:
I have been fine, feeling fly actually.

Tell me more!

firstEVA:
Where have you been all day? You should at least peep in once in a while.

Don't mind me, my favourite. Thought I could be free for a peep. But that wasn't to be.
My day was tight.
But a little free now. A lot freer in about half an hour.

How have you been?

firstEVA I'll say goodnight now. Sleep tight.

Chat tomorrow.
Your Sparrow needs you

firstEVA:
people will learn from his teachings on how to make love without being selfish, it can help in marriage
why don't you look at it from that angle dear postman?

At first I suspected you were wise and smart
Then I knew first hand that you are.
So I know you know better.

Porn is Porn whether in a movie form or in a narrative literature.
There is no good in it.
There are safe ways to learn the act of loving making.Not in a theatre full of perverts who came to arouse each other and talk dirty.

firstEVA:
Postmann always has something sweet to say, you are sweet like sugar.


Not like I believe you though

Have you seen "lthe non phallus stimulation to orgasmm"?

What I said could be considered rich in essential facts.

I deliberately didn't want to see his new thread. And it's the same reason I unfollowed him, so I don't get tempted to comment on his posts and he gets to over react or I be tempted to reply someone who disses him in a way I consider provocative.

Sometimes one helps oneself to avoid temptation. My spirit hasn't yet settled in tranquillity as a result of the spat lastnight.

Unless I want to bring on myself great unrest and distraction, I shouldn't see the thread. And it sounds like the typical nonsense.

The aim is just to get people whet and Hot and have a virtual _orgy. It offers nothing more.

Sounding self righteous again. But how else can one put it plainly without coming off as prudish?
We all know the truth, but sometimes we don't like it.
And we all have our short comings, and GOD doesn't really mind the ocasional fall or slips. HE is more interested in sincere efforts to avoid sin.

Online _orgies like this are very addictive and they slowly dim the spark of a real relationship , just exactly as masturbation.

firstEVA:
yes I am feeling better, thanks for your concern


Lol, it still bothers on the deliberate act of acting like I don't e-exist, but it's all good.

How was your day dear postmann?

Ok firstly, it should come naturally that I be concerned when you told me you weren't feeling so well in the morning. You should take such concerns from me for granted.

2ndly, "the deliberate act of acting like you don't e-exist".
But why would he do that?
Did something spark off his jealousy?
And why would a man be jealous except he has his e-affections more on you than others,
And truly his first & EVA
And probably felt scorned, trifled and shortchanged by the attention you granted another
Maybe it's more than just a vapour in an imaginary e-cloud....

Maybe he's hurting for you
too
And wants no one else close.

If you can see through the curtain....


My day was fine.

firstEVA:
You are right

Of course it is obvious that I'm right.

Now, in the power of 'Tag and Ask' , I bid you to tell that which you conceal, yet made open.







Hope you're feeling better?

firstEVA:
Ok, thanks, have a nice day, we chat later.

You seem evasive with your feelings! I don't t like it. Tell me what i asked.

firstEVA:
if someone claims to like you but deliberately refuses to say hi for over 24hrs, there couldn't be a better definition for ignoring.

Sometimes, out of e-sight means presence of e-mind

Do have a wonderful day and take your rest.
And if you close your eyes, try to smile
Then you'll see your world revolving around your feet.
You are in control!

firstEVA:
I not feeling too well. I needed a very long sleep.

It's not just a feeling, it's a belief

I'm sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. Please do try to get some sleep, as sleep debt isn't so good for one's health.


Now that's a strong word, my favourite.
Surely I'm not the one you have in mind, or am I the one ignoring you? Who could it be?

Here comes the Hawk!

I better take my leave!

Surely it is. Someone only has to show how deserving they are of the truth uncurtailed. The unrestrained me probably would have said a lot worse to the kid. But then...


But I'm not sure if you re right about more in the future.
That was for family!


Why do you feel ignored? It took you forever to be back.

firstEVA:
I wasn't surprised about what you did, it's in you. I expect more in the nearest future.

I feel I'm being ignored

tomdon:
you could have minded your business and stayed dafuk away from his topic than type all this nonsenc tongue in cheek talk that even makes no sense
your self righteousness is irritating

And if you had minded your business or investigated properly, you wouldn't find yourself walking right into a f.o.o.l's trap, meddling in a family feud.

Then you wouldn't have to
look _stupid later.


#rashstranger

firstEVA:
brb

Ok.

coincidentially, you are my 333th post.

firstEVA:
you are right about that

You were a silent by-stander in the feud in the spousal thread.
You came away with a heartful impression no doubt.
Now please let it flow. You were supposed to be his supply wagon during battle.

darkenedrebel:
That wasn't to be taken literarily. The apology was satirical and a sarcastic way of branding your writeup nonsensical. If you couldn't figure that out, it puts the validity of your nous in question.

Look who's talking about "contradiction", and yet you claimed this dissertation was about "women looking fit for their husbands", but titled it - "What's the ideal spousal age difference"?
If that isn't bipolarity coupled with confusion.

And I'm not being argumentative. I didn't quote you, remember? I merely confuted your written and then you came on the offense like a kid who just had his lunch money botched from him.
You couldn't fathom or come to terms with people saying that your writeup is wack. If there's anyone here trying to administer first aid treatment to his bruised ego, it's you.




You are very stüpid you know? What is that pile of balderdash up there suppose to mean? Was that meant to pass a salient point across? Enlighten me. I think you are mentally-indigent . Don't take it personal, it's just a speculation.

No one is trying to seem right here punk. The only thing happening here is an over-aged deluded Nairaland-addict ovülating over the innocent comment of Darkrebel.
Lifeisabitch said your entire chronicle was crap. Why single me out? Why aren't you encumbering her mention notifications with your puerile tirade? You are bored right?
If you feel oppressed, you can always go impale yourself on an HIV-infected javelin.



Like I said, I don't remember ever quoting you. And I barely know you, save for my follower feeds where your sobriquet pops out once in a while.

I'm flattered you mentioned Fine Art & Rapping as one of the things I do in my past-time. That proves you are a big fan. Don't forget to add kicking-assés-of-lunatics like you in my resume.
Let's delve into your resume, shall we?
•Known to be an emotionally-unstable loser
•Known to be a chronic ass-licker
•Known to be on NL 24/7, either crushing for chats with women in order to lick their assés, or for looking for the slightest opportunity to pick up a fight.
•Also known to purposely convolute his sentences which are filled with malapropisms & long-winded syllables that are in most cases not even syntactic & grammatically appropriate. All in a vain attempt to mask the fact that he's really not intelligent. Such inferiority complex. I sincerely feel pity for you.

.

I already told you, if you feel oppressed and belligerent, gulp some purple kool aid and end your life. Or noose yourself like Ken Saro Wiwa. You would be doing the universe a favor.
Cos I can barely understand the gaffe you are up-chucking or how it's related to the fact that me expressing myself on your shïtty thread is giving you brain farts



Only mine bears the dark, looming...bla bla bla. Stop being emotional boy. And quit talking out of context.
Typical nairalander trait - when they are confuzzled, they morph into bumbling oafs and employ deflective tactics to distract the readers, when in fact they don't even know why they are bantering in the first place. .

What's really behind this loathe you have for someone that considers you vastly infinitesimal? Did I ever fück your sister? Oppps...That would be gross & societally unacceptable cos you actually spawned from a clan of silverback gorillas, thus, screwing them would be considered bestiality.
Just one comment and you are acting like a guinea fowl high on crack and opium. Your case is beyond physical - It's spiritual!.

I know this is reverse psychology. You want a fight for the longevity of your thread and because that's all you do - craving for squabbles all day on Nairaland, because you are a 34 year old jobless, loveless and reclusive fat-lipped baboon.

Haha. I won't give it to you. I'd rather make your boring existence more miserable by replying no further. Make sure not to hit your trapezoidal bonce on the door latch on your way out.
I also advise that you begin to do something worthwhile with your life - like ummmmm composing idle anthologies of àss-licking poems for Nubian(no diss intended), or trying to use your grade-D vocab to woo teenage girls in Romance sect.

Have a nice day degenerate. I think my job here is done.

That was so long! Must be the longest quote on nl.
And yet you said you did it for a nobody. You criticized his grammar and you claim to be an objective critic.
i think you are out on a mission.

Aha! There it is! nubia!!! So that's where you failed and lost the crown?

you should have taken it as a man instead of puddling yourself in the dirt in your futile attempt to pass yourself up as someone you aren't.

nubia was the very first reason you quoted him, so I'm not surprised you unwarrantedly drag her name here.

And i see you wobble in your fightback. Being the fake that you are, in your intial comment, you tried to pass as a literal critic.
But soon enough, the heat of the sun shone on you, and you couldnt stand it...and then you manifested—a forlorn vampire, bruised in the quest of nubia.


why not admit lezzlie is your vanquisher?

And i see you, your grammar, so unnatural.
You sound like a kid with a concise oxford dictonary in his pocket.

darkenedrebel:
I have intellectual hypermetropia. I could pinpoint logic with a vàgina in my face if it was standing 300 miles away.
Stop being emotional.



No one ever said it stirred infidelity in marriage. Do you even fully understand the meaning of the words you use. I said spousal age spacing is not a surety in combatting infidelity in marriages. Forgive me if I didn't read it to the end to be able to notice the sarcasm in your closer - I don't have the luxury of time.

If the thread is about "wives keeping fit for their hubbies", then why is the thread titled "What is the ideal spousal age difference?"

When your thoughts begin to synchronize with your actions, remind me to reply your mentions.

And i see you, searching for a lost crown
Did lezz, lezzlie or the darktroll steal it?
Was that why you left the showers with vengance / envy dripping all over you,
unprepared for a swipe, wth your rare exposed?

Please tell me where he knocked off your tooth
i could arrange for a dentist who can fix your ego back.

firstEVA:
perhaps his mood or so.

But sweetheart, I believe you would do a better job on a one on one basis without the watchful eyes of millions. It definitely gets to a point where emotions would be involved if you take this route.
If you have to do it here being the "rope" , you should do so without going personal becos its a faceless forum, no one really knows anyone persay, so the reference to background may not be the best here. I don't wish to offend you pls, just my opinion, but I know you know him wayyy better than anyone here.

A wise counselor you are! it was the main reason I unfollowed him on the 29th of last month. so i dont get to read everything and forced to take a harsher stand.

I've been making a nuisance of his threads and post, but underneath were some jovial jibes which he is
absolutely aware of.

one on one is an option ongoing. but still, ego and women have wrecked many men.

i think i was ignorable at least if those two traits were under control.
