WebmastersRe: Opinion: 5 Reasons Why Nairaland Is Better Than Facebook For Nigerians by scarr: 3:43pm On Apr 28, 2015
Martins301:
1. Privacy

Unlike facebook where you have to use your name, upload your pics (which is archived) and post really interesting stuffs to attract likes, comments and friends, Nairaland isn't like that. Only your username (which can be as fake as the smile of a policeman demanding for bribe) is displayed, plus you get to change your profile pic (which can be fake as well) without the previous ones being archived for public consumption. This sort of privacy has given lots of people the courage to freely express themselves and exhibit behaviours they would never dare to exhibit in real life. Take for instance the case of beryl04 supporting gay rights and Depressedguy confessing that he is gay. Am 100% sure they would never do such in real life. Such privacy has also led some people to exhibit clownish behaviours capable of making people laugh e.g PhockPhockMan tit temitemi1 orijin101 and Airforce1

2. Learning & Information

In terms of learning and getting information on different issues, Nairaland beats facebook hands down. Nairaland has different sections and subsections such as politics, religion, romance, family, jobs, education, business, etc that you can learn and get information from. In fact, it has been statistically and scientifically proven by me that the less time you spend on facebook and the more time you spend on Nairaland, the high the level of your awareness and social intelligience.

3. Features

There are specific features that makes NL also better than FB. Some include absence of delete button and ability to quote the comments of other users. On the absence of delete button, I think its good cos it makes people concious of what they say, knowing fully well they cannot take it back, especially once it has been quoted by someone else. Although there is room to modify your writeup, it is still a good thing that ordinary users do not have the ability to delete posts so as to provide evidence and punish frequent rule breakers babyosisi barcanista and emmyw and temitemi1, and thus maintain decorum in the forum.

4. Historical Records

If not for the issue of hackers and data loss that hit the site, Nairaland would still have had the records of 'every and all' posts dating 5, 6, 7 years back. Facebook on the other hand appears to permanently delete your posts that are 6 to 12 months old. Am patiently waiting for October 2016 so I can remind barcanista of how he wrongly predicted or forecasted in March 2015 that PDP would win Edo state grin

5. Helping Nigerians

I don't know how many people in Nigeria have gotten jobs through facebook but I do know of many that have gotten employment through Nairaland. I also know of one or two persons who got helped with paying hospital bills through Nairaland.

Having used Facebook and Nairaland, I think Nairaland is the place to be for Nigerians. Feel free to add to the list. Like this post if you agree with it and Share if you disagree.

Thanks bro ,found d culprit under d label CIG 15A.
Is it possible to get d fuse in the market? And how much would I get it in abuja(ur profile states ur location as abuja which is where I also reside). Trying to avoid going thru the mechanic

For d main time, which other 15A can I replace (from S-HTR, FOG, STOP, TAIL), cos driving without radio/music is boring as hell especially when in holdups

There is also a spare 10A, is it advisable to use that?

But do i need a token to deposit into or withdraw from my neteller account?? I think its just visa u can use for direct bank-marathon transactions. Mastercard dsnt wrk in 9ja.

"Please note that withdrawals to MasterCard are only available, if you deposit via a MasterCard issued in one of following countries: Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom. Players cannot withdraw to MasterCard issued in any other country. This is due to a restriction that MasterCard have placed on the refunding of gaming transactions. If you wish to use a MasterCard issued in a country where withdrawals are restricted, withdrawals are processed via Bank Transfer."

But for Visa its allowed thats why i'm taking the neteller route and I want to know if i can freely deposit and withdraw from my neteller wit my gtbank mastercard.
1. you need a token, an activation code* and a secure code*(*cos its an international trans) to deposit into neteller
to get ur secure code u need to generate ur activation code from your gtb internet banking page, to generate your activation code u need to have a token device

u can freely withdraw too
