5 THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA




Conversations are great right? Well,not everyone of them. But we can all agree that a larger number of beautiful friendships and relationships started off with a mere conversation between strangers (a minute silence for the ones that never lasted). The emphasis on conversations cannot be overstated without directing the lime light on the importance of Conversation Starters and Responses. This subject would be limited to conversations only on social medias and for that reason I'd assume we all created our social Media handles to "socialize" unless for special reasons like business. Or is yours for internet fraud? You can plead the Fifth and continue reading.

 A quick look at how some persons respond to the cliche "Hello,how are you?"


✓The Sarcastic Fine:  As popular damands it,the response to "how are you?" is oftentimes "fine". Which most times isn't true. Most times the respondent doesn't think before typing this response. Usually he/she could be having a bad day, feeling tired and out or just poker faced yet responding with "fine" with little knowledge that reciprocating the gesture with a "fine,thank you and you?" Could start a wonderful conversation. And unfortunately the one with the least of this knowledge is the respondent who gives the "sarcastic fine". The sarcastic fine seems to be accompanied by rolling eyes. In this part of the world females seem to be the worst culprits of this (I stand to be corrected), with an increased number of males in the DMs the female counterpart is forced to think that they're only thirsty for hook-ups (but still appear in Shiloh if guys don't do this)humor intended.
  The sarcastic Finer is good at simulating the conversation even before it starts and gets turned off at "Tell me more about yourself"

A bit of fun fact for the sarcastic Finer

•Did you know your profile picture doesn't speak?
•Did you know on Facebook you're given 101 characters to describe yourself in your Bio.
•Did you know Bio means Life. And 101 characters ain't enough to describe your entire life?
•Did you know the About button on Facebook has no field to input your Temperament
•Did you Know most people don't fill out all the fields in the "About" section?
Now you know!! So next time you get the "Tell me more about yourself" question, kindly act civil and respond.


✓The Textaholic Fine: The Textaholic plays along with the rules of social media(no one made the rules though). They are mistaken to be too available cos they respond almost as soon as you text. The Textaholics fine is often times accompanied with emojis or doesn't come as "fine" but could be a description of how they are doing. The Textaholic could be characterized by their loathe for clusters of unread messages.


✓The Misers Fine: Like the words entails she misses her words. She takes every caution to ensure her responses are single. It's like she gets a debit alert for every word she types,so she takes extra care not to be prodigal with her words. We could dwell more on the hyperbole and say she's a serial killer who kills the vibe of the conversation. The questioner is left in her claws with nothing more than a mountain of questions. Like



✓The Silencers Fine: Ever watched a movie where the protagonist (actor and boss type of shit) pulls out a silencer and attaches it to his gun? We all know he's going for a deadly assault. The Silencers Fine is as deadly as a shot from that pistol. The Silencers fine is characterized by Silence. He/She reads the message but intentionally refuses to respond to it for reasons which we would all find out on the day of judgment. This in turn leaves the questioner at the other end of the chat little option than to chat with him/herself like:

5 REASONS WHY I DONT WANT TO GET MARRIED

 5 REASONS WHY I DONT WANT TO GET     MARRIED(THE ALTER EGO ISSSUE)    A couple of weeks back I was on my way to Metropolitan Supermarket where I went to get some hair products for my hair. I alighted from the Tricycle popularly know as #KEKE in this part of the world and was about to pay the driver when a feminine voice interposed; "il take care of it". I turned around to find my friend Ruth (real name withheld) standing beside me. To cut the long story short, I learnt that she was going through some crises in her marriage. She couldn't help but show her sadness in form of tears that rolled down her cheeks while she talked. And I was compelled to write something about Marriage.    I questioned more than a couple of people to give me reasons why they wanted to get married. But surprisingly enough some of them never wanted to get married and with legit reasons. Most of their reasons all boiled down to what I'll call the #ALTER_EGO issue. Now before I proceed to giv

"ACRIMONY" the Movie Controversy

   Have you ever asked for a die-hard movie lover and I didn't present myself to you? Well im so much a sucker for movies but about a few weeks ago, I was sucked up in thought after I was done watching the highly controversial movie ACRIMONY. And it dawned on me more like a self realisation that in as much as I can cry when I watch a sober movie, I can equally get very upset.  After much thought I decided to do a review of this movie based on my personal judgement and a few others. Just before I begin to add my own "versy" to the already existing controversy, Here is a a brief synopsis of the movie plot 'ACRIMONY' for the benefit of those who have not seen it yet. As the clearly aggrieved Melinda relates her story to the shrink, the story flashes back to the early days of her relationship with Robert (Antonio Madison, playing the younger version of the character), whom she meets when they're both in college. The young Melinda (Aijona Alexus, who seems

Pick-Up line or FuckedUp line

Okay, today I decided to take a brake from fashion and how we wear what we wear. Reason being that, im beginning to realise that most of us even after appearing appealing to the eyes; fine, overly dressed and with a lot of charisma Actually do not know how to talk. And by talking I meaning having right Pick-up lines or Chyking(like my Nigeria brothers would call it). Cos frankly I think most of you wouldn't have been born if the only line Daddy used was "You are the Sugar in my tea" which tea please? ? #thinking. Let me pause a Sec to explain why I think so: Did you know just about yesterday, out of the 7billion people in the world, in a corner of Uyo Nigeria there was a certain guy who told a girl "Baby im not staring at your boobs, im only using my eyes to find a way into your heart" Prior before now I felt like those lame pick up lines only existed in comedy movies or vocals of Okon Lagos aka Bishop (our Nigerian kevin Hart) but yesterday got me thi

Why We Fall In Love With The Wrong People

There happens to be a lot of uncertainty resulting into questions when it comes to this Falling in love thing. Its either a case of: "Falling in Love is beautiful but what if I'm falling into the wrong hands?" Or "Sometimes the person you fall for isn't ready to catch you." Some other times its: "Bottom line,we never fall for the person we are supposed to".    Now this brings me to the point of interest. Have you ever Wondered why we often fall in Love with the people who don't Love us back? Chase people who don't want us?  I could still recall way back in highschool, I use to have this beautiful seat mate(my young eyes really admired) who really was so into me but I never treated the feeling with any much respect, perhaps cos I was the one being chased? or maybe I wasn't just cutout for any of those childhood dramas. But one amazing thing was 'she never stopped'. This is same case with many of us(men/women). Many

CROCS AND HOW TO WEAR EM!!

CROCS OR NAH! Okay, today I was sitting with my friend and the sister came along. She wanted to go get food and since we were just a bit free at the time we decided to tag along on her request. While we walked down my friend kept saying Hi to almost err one, so there was a repetitive momentary stop we always had to observe to wait for her. While I waited for her with the sister I couldn't help but notice the CROCS she had on. I really don't do well with compliments though but I had I to tell her how nice they looked. Because she wore em neatly and correctly.   Now im not a croc fan, to be earnest enough I dislike them and I even dislike them the more the way some people get to wear them. Now the multi coloured rubber clogs which made way into the light in the year 2002 has been overly abused and in  #LASISI_ELENU'S voice il say "im so upset right now!". How can you wear a shirt buttoned to the neck, wear a coperate pant neatly ironed and shirt neatly tucked i

RoadsideOpinions: One Minute Man

" Says he can go for hours but pops before the toaster does"- Kermit the frog It is no more news that a lot of things are wrong in my country. Ranging from the religious crisis to misappropriation of funds and lack of  intercourse between the three tiers of the government to conceive effective synergy. Which do I talk about and leave the other? Is it the People who frown like they own the vehicle when they order Uber,Opay etc or the ones that look at you like your brain is a vacuum when you try to flag down the Keke (stop that  nonsense)they Ordered from Opay. Well that's not where the problem lies. The major problem my country faces is these people who Keep polluting the peace with a lot of noise about "doing your work Kakaraka as a man" You don't know them? Herbal drugs oooo.  Here's  from me to the ONE MINUTE MAN. You hear things like : " You no go fit do your work as a man" "Every time your wife touch you,you go say you dey

That's not a jacket.    You know the shirt on shirt is a style which is quite delicate, meaning that with just a slight error everything gets messy and not nice to behold. There's a thin line between looking cool and looking stuffed up in this kinda style. Wearing a shirt on a shirt is really a rare

RoadSideOpinion: Traffic Bright

"we all hate the traffic but the blogger and the begger disagree"- Wright Elijah There are different reasons as to which a man beats his chest. It could be as a result of cough or he's laughing. Sometimes its an instruction from the pastor to beat your chest reassuringly saying " I know who I am". Which is a clear indication that you really dont know who you are or you lack knowledge of your potentials. But an exception to this is the bus driver who took me out this morning, he clearly knows who he is and wants others to know too. "Adiok ono usoh, do you know who I am!" Yelled   our puny looking driver, his arrogance was backed up by reptive vigorous slams against his chest as he drove his question home. For some reasons which I am yet to discover, the Ibibio insult ( Ibibio translate for it shall not be well with your father) really got the other driver's temper from zero to a hundred. He was about to discharge a few blows to our driver
