Nairaland is a special place.

It’s where you’ll find the original Nigerian mentality.

In fact, if Nigeria suddenly transforms into a website, it’ll transform to Nairaland.

So it’s expected that there is a diverse range of people there.

Here are some examples:

1. The End-time Crusaders: These ones are common in Linda Ikeji’s comments section. So for basically every post, whether its a father-kills-son post or a woman-buys-car story, their reply is ‘nawa ooo, End times tinz. Everybody take note’.They are very similar to the next group.
2. The Off-pointers: Everyone is talking about how Nigeria’s flag is Green and White for example, and they just come and say: ‘Nigeria has 36 states’.They are the forefathers of the next group
3. Customs/Cement People: That’s a polite way of calling them spammers. They are everywhere, on every website that fails to moderate comments. Some of them are friends with Dr Azolibe. You know him? The man always spamming our emails with penis enlargement remedies? Yup. That’s him.
4. First to Comment: No comment. Except Linda Ikeji is their fairy godmother.
5. Keyboard Warriors: These ones will go to anyone or anything they can find. They have many apples that didn’t fall far from their tree, like the next two; 
6. Political Nairaland: They believe there are three types of people; APC, PDP, and fencists. Neither of them like fencists because each one thinks the fencist is on the other side.
7. Tribal Nairaland: A story drops that an unknown man raped someone and the next thing you hear is, “Nawa for all these Yoruba men”. And the floodgates are open.
8. Under-G money makers: While everyone is fighting and cursing, these ones are quietly making cool cash. So once someone comments on how they need a car, or laptop, or service, these guys are ready to jump on it.
9. Men in Girl’s usernames: These ones pose as women because it helps with attention. The end goal for a huge chunk of this group is recharge card.
10. Wakapass: They just come in, read, go out. Repeat.
11. Frontpage Overlords: These are the influencers. Any page they open makes it to front page.
12. Misogynists/ All men are dogs: The egotistical and bitter class. It’s either they are justifying why its not the rapist’s fault because of the woman’s dressing or the other side are saying all men are dogs because one man broke her heart.
13. Intellectual: These are the honorable technocrats of Twitter. They school you on everything about the world and even your life.
14. Quote: They just quote everyone. That’s all really.
15. Nairaland haters: They are on Nairaland complaining all day about how everything, including Nairaland is horrible. But Guess who’s winning?

    

16. Sports: Cheers to the Champions League nights and the League weekends.
17. Love doctors: Oh, they are the go-to people for all that love pep-talk.
18. Patriots: They are everywhere, and have belonged with almost every category at some point or the other. Mostly, they are the reasons you have something to read every time you visit.

What other types of people do you know?
