I have noticed that some bloggers are such bullies and bores. Here are the 'blogger species' that really annoy me:
- Species 1: 'Broken hearted-tus'.........................: Bloggers who go on and on about snaring a man/ woman......
Why cant I find a man?
Why cant I find a woman?
Why did he leave me?
Why did she leave me?
My dear, maybe the fact that you spend so much time online is a hint ?
If you are still dwelling on the same questions after eighteen months (at the most)............you need to leave your computer and go out more. If not, you might end up dating/marrying the computer.
- Species 2: 'Hair Nazi-tus'.........: Bloggers who are pro-natural hair and go from blog to blog bullying others about how they choose to wear their hair. Haba !
Please tell me when the Nazis reincarnated in the form of forceful-natural-hair wearing black women............ ?
Please give it a rest, we know natural is fantastic but no one should be attacked for their personal choice of hair style (if they don't hurt anyone). I am happy you made that choice........................now go away and condition your hair..........!
- Species 3: 'Bad belle-tus'....................:
I do accept that not everyone lives a mundane life like mine - full of deadlines, homework, chores and budgeting. However, it would be great if these 'fabulosity-tus bloggers' put up posts about their normal days so they don't mislead impressionable kids into thinking 'fabulosity is an everyday thing.
ALSO, I would ask these fabulosity-tus bloggers to please add some information about their occupation/ sponsors so readers can understand how their lifestyle is funded. I know they'll say its none of my business but I implore them to take it upon themselves to save at least one girl or boy who wants to emulate them from 'runs' and 'thiefing'...............abi?
- Species 5: 'Woe-betide-me-tus'...................: Bloggers who revel in despair even when others try to help or cheer them up. If these bloggers think they have the worst life in the world, I would advice they remember that the fact that they have access to a computer OR that they have fingers to type OR have eyes to even read means they are better off than most.
One of the best things about blogging is that one can chart one's progress when one reads old posts i.e. old posts can reveal how sad/ happy/ frustrated one was 2 years ago etc etc
For all those woe-betide-me-tus amongst us, I would advice you read your old posts from time to time. If you are still moaning about the same things you were moaning about two years ago..............It is time to realise that all those 'It is well' comments from your readers simply means 'Sh*t up and get a grip !'
Which one am I ? Blogger Optimistic-tus (I choose to focus on the good in life) Difficult...but a conscious decision.
Do let me know which you think you are......................! *stroking my chin and looking at you* LOL
Thanks from another optimistic tus. *wink wink*

ReplyDeleteBLEURGH
www.say-bleurgh.blogspot.com

I accept we all have bad moods but what gets me is someone who is constantly down - despite offers of support and help from others *sigh*
Chin up dearie...the period after graduation is tough but I know you have the inner strength and intelligence to be a success

Hahaha #Preach sister... the ones that annoy me the most are the fabulousitus....mschew
ReplyDeleteI'd like to think that I'm in the find-a-positive-thing and make-a-joke-out-of-your-bad-situations-tus group
LOL @ 'preach sister
DeleteI agree oh
Fabulosity-ti need to remember that impressionable young ones can get sucked in
I love your description of your blog style
Agree
xxxxxxx
Looollll. Some bitter truth. Me, I like natural hair oo, and its like one of the best decision I have ever made, i.e. to have natural hair and I like helping those having difficulties carrying natural hair. For me, that is where it ends. I don't belong or choose to belong to the natural hair movement. Its more about healthy hair.
ReplyDeleteAs for the group I belong, I think I will say the ambitious and optimistic ones.
I feel you re: natural hair
DeleteMy only issue is with some bloggers/ commenters who attack other sistahs who dont wear natural hair.
Its a personal choice.
Love your description. Totally agree and I would add creative-tus
xxxxx
I agree with your opinion on the fabulosity-tus bloggers.
ReplyDeleteLol...I will be honest and say that i try to be Blogger Optimistic-tus but some times i cant help but whinge about certain issues...lol
No problems re whinging from time to time
DeleteI am in the same boat as you LOL
Totally natural
Hope all is well with you?
xxxx
This post made me laugh no end, Naijamum. You hit the nail on the head, definitely. The most irritating is fabulosity-tus, I think. But the rest are irritating too. They should stop molesting us o, lol.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my last post. It means a lot. Take care and have a fab week.
LOL @ 'molesting us oh' You no go kill person
DeleteNo problems re: commenting....We should all support one another. abi?
Take care of your self dearie
xxxx
I can totally relate with this post because with my years of experience in reading blogs, all blogs that are themed as what the other mentioned above is so very true.
ReplyDeleteEd Butowsky personal investing
Thanks
DeleteGlad you relate
xxxx
Ouch! Hahaha! I want and try to be a Blogger Optimistic-tus, but I have to be honest that when I'm hurting I can come across as a Woe-betide-me-tus. Sorriabourit. Will do berra! Hahahaha!
ReplyDeleteBtw, thanks for your comment and prayer. Very much appreciated. xx
Why 'ouch'
DeleteYou dont fall into any of these categories.
You are 'full-of-love-and-willing-to-share....tus'
Hope all is well with your son
xxx
LMAOO!!!! I cannt even decide which I am...LMAO...NIL This is really hilarious but very apt! I have the same beef with the "Fabulousity-tus".....They need to include their occupations so that people like me can be well guided in their delusions...LMAO
ReplyDeleteAbi oh @ '......so that people like me can be well guided in their delusions'
DeleteYou have put it better than I could my sister
God bless you
xxxxxxx
lmao...d fabulosity ones cracked me up big time!!!
ReplyDeleteAgree dearie
DeleteHope all is well
xxxx
I belong to #team optimistic-tus. I also think that the fabulosity-tus are verrrrryyyy annoying!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to my team LOL
DeleteHope all is well
xxxx
species 3 and 4 are the most annoying.
ReplyDeleteermmm.............i think i'm optimistic..........am not sure, i'll just go with that
NIL, may I ask what inspired this post? Quite interesting how you went in on them all!!!
DeleteI think I am a look-on-the-bright-side/random-tus blogger!
@ Luciano:
DeleteI think you are creative-optimistic-tus LOL
Hope all is well with you
xxxx
@PET:
DeleteWhat inspired the post?
mmmmmmmm
Two things:
(a) I read a blog post where the individual was complaining yet again.......despite the fact that so many other bloggers have offered support and love. Almost felt like the writer loves to revel in despair
(b) I read someone lashing out at weave wearers - yet again - and I thought to myself....'What gives another person the right to make someone else feel small'
Honest answer.
Hope all is well
LOL,wow you came up all these and its accurate....looool. I dont even know where i belong. Have a pleasant week nil!
ReplyDeleteNaija mum.... u don come again oooooo! i thought i had headache and therefore couldn't type a thing but had to drop by on this one and truth be told, i no know which one i be ooooo. i try to be optimisti-tus sha and positive inspiritus and educationalistic - tus. Abeg leave me jare... i no know again ooooh
ReplyDeleteAwww....@headache
DeleteI hope all is well with you?
Abeg take am easy
I no go leave you jare...I hold your wrapper LOL
Love your description especially 'positive inspiritus'
xxxxxxxxxxxx
If I may ask, What kinda hair do u keep NIL? Just curious! To me, this sounds like an attack on a pro hair emanacipation blogger as it is more direct than the other umphs.
ReplyDeleteNice blog anyways!
@ Anon
DeleteOf course you may ask
My hair is natural - I havent relaxed in years
However, managing to keep it in order is not easy at times so I wear weave on from time to time.
For summer, I am leaving it.
Regarding 'attack on pro hair....' Not at all
I feel I was even harder on the fabulosity-tus bloggers
If you dont mind me saying so, I take exception with your description of 'pro hair emancipation' because that implies our sisters who relax their hair are slaves.
If we stop judging others and accept our individual choices, we will make a stronger force.
Must we always seek things that will divide us into camps....etc
Fair complexioned vs Dark complexioned;
Naija born vs born abroad;
Weave vs natural;
Christain vs Muslim;
Ibo vs Yoruba;
North vs South
'Good hair' vs 'Black hair'
mmmmmmmmmmmm
LOL I'm not sure, I think I'm just very random but I always remind myself of the parts I don't need to blog about :)
ReplyDeleteBut I could hug you so much for this post
I hope the people that need it can get to see it
You see some posts sometimes and you're like "Is all these really necessary?"
Gbam re 'is all these neccessary?'
DeleteMy sistah see me oh
Thanks dearie. Whenever I see your name, music comes to my head
Nice
XXXXXXXXXXX
but you wicked oh lol
ReplyDeletethanks for stopping by the first time ... oya take cold water dont let these type of bloggers annoy you! lol

PS _ I don take cold water baf sef so everything don calm well well. LOL
Wow!
ReplyDeleteNaijamum is back!! So you've already done several posts in June 2012 already. I kept checking back before June, though. Off to read them all.
Best Regards!
My darling Gbenga
DeleteHope all is well
I keep on seeing your name everywhere and I feel like a proud mum.
Hope all is well
Please DO NOT fail to contact me whenever you visit London
You are a role model for young Nigerians

Thanks, NaijaMumInLondon!
DeleteYes, all is well, and we thank God. I have been writing a bit on BellaNaija these days and as well working on a Primary Health Centre Project in a rural community in Benue State (details here: http://thenongovproject.wordpress.com).
..."When I visit London"? Noted!

No shaking Gbenga
DeleteI have updated my blogroll
Take care of your self
xxxx
LOL! All 5 species are annoying, for sure. I just wonder if at some point we have not "slipped" into one or more categories. But I think you're referring to a pattern of blogging, not just once in a millenium.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I am Blogger Optimisti-cus, too, of course! I would not abbreviate that though --->>> "B.O" Not a good look ... smell, I tell you :D
Of course you are a BO..........sorry oh..Blogger Optimistic-tus LOL
DeleteNo vex
You are absolutely RIGHT when you said I am referring to a pattern of blogging. GBAM!!!
That is why you are blessed with intelligence and beauty !
Thanks dearie

ReplyDeleteHahahaha NIL yaf kee me o *falls off chair* You know, as I was reading this, I was mentally ticking some blogs I've come across & fixing the puzzle :D
ReplyDeleteYou forgot one category tho. The I've-not-even-read-the-post-but-i-have-a-crappy-opinion-about-it-tus hehehe
@Relentless, BO does conjure a certain smell :D
I think I'm a smiley-blogger tho *big grin*
You sef...you are falling of chair. Fine gal like you.
DeleteHope all is well with you and your beautiful scalp. :)
Yes oh....you are def 'smiley blogger'
Whenever I read your posts I smile or go away with a warm feeling.
Life is tooooo short we should celebrate even the mundane
Thanks dearie
xxxxx
Osanobua!
DeleteDid you just call dear Toin's blogposts 'mundane'.
*ducking under chair wey Toin fall off*
*chuckle*
(yeah call me "Look-for-trouble-tus :p)
@Mancee
DeleteI would advice you read sentences in entirety
Taking things out of context is misleading
My statement to Toinlicious was:
'Yes oh....you are def 'smiley blogger'
Whenever I read your posts I smile or go away with a warm feeling.
Life is tooooo short we should celebrate even the mundane'
Toin and I go way back

ReplyDeleteI can condone the fabulosity-tus bloggers (at least i know that that kind of life is what they live for and as such have not much depth) but what i cant condone is the bad belle-tus bloggers! You just see a wash of grime fly past you out of nowhere (that's what i call such people's brains - nowhere) and you ask yourself, what in the world is wrong with this person that spews this kind of trash - most times - off point trash.
ReplyDeleteIts so so annoying
And i think am a random-tus blogger (any and every)
Like you, I find the bad-belle-tus bloggers/ commenters a bit sad.
DeleteAll I can ask is WHY!!!
Gbam re 'wash of grime' Couldnt have put it better (even if I tried)
So annoying and unnecessary
Agree you are random-tus - in a nice, sensible way!
Take care dearie
xxxxx
This was a hilarious post. And like others have stated, I could think of one or two bloggers who fit the description of each category. I share your sentiments on the fabulousity-tus species. I'm not against people showing off how fortunate they are --real or not. I'll just like to see them become a little more involved in discussions about political and socio-economic issues. But I know that wouldn't happen because most of the time it is their parents and their fabulous lifestyle that is behind the injustice.
ReplyDeleteAs for which category I fall in, lately, I've been in the woe-bemeti-cus category, but I bet I won't be for too much longer :P.
*Shaking my head* Mba No No.....
DeleteMba ...you are not 'woe-betide-me-tus
Go and read all your posts...you have ups and downs. It is not a pattern at all at all.
God bless you regarding your observation about those people. As you said, most of them are celebrating their parents ability to subsidise their spending. To each his own...........but all I ask is they leave their sponsors' name so we all know.
Take care dearie
xxxxx
LWKM. This our NIL sef.
ReplyDeleteCan't say i can tick off all the blogs against their categories but i get the picture. I've come across some fabulous mes that just grate.
Me I am blogger opiniontus. :)
Can see you're on blog roll :) goody. Hope this means holiday?
LOL @ 'This our NIL sef'
DeleteYes oh you are opiniontu but you dont force it down people's throat
Blog roll.....no holiday at all. My workload has reduced considerably so I'm chilling
xxxxx
hmm...I think I'm blogger Make-friends-and-learn-from-themisTUS.
ReplyDeleteWahtever inspired this? LOL! I can relate sha.
*Nodding* re make-friends-and-learn-from-them-is-tus
DeleteAgree LOL
Regarding what inspired this...please read my replies to P.E.T and Anonymous above.
Hope all is well with you

Heeeheeee. This your post pass my power oh! I am just a new kid on the block and I really thank God I am not in any of those funny categories........but I love Optimistictus.

DeleteWhy now?
Thanks for dropping by my blog
I'm popping over to yours now
xxxxx
I let everyone do them, I love and learn from the diversity. Me, all-rounder-tus :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Myne
DeleteI cant stop anyone from doing their thing as long as they have access to a computer and thoughts they want to share.
My beef is with bloggers/ commenters who make others feel small or inconsequential.
I have no patience for effizy, hypocrisy or endemic despair for no reason at all.
Hope all is well
xxxxxxxxx
Tut tut! Your post may sound like "Bad-belle-ticus" o. Esp with the fab species.lol
ReplyDeleteCall me "Have-Fun-Liticus"
(hehe..sounds like something from an Asterix and Obelix comic)
I started blogging coz I had stories to tell, later I had need to vent, then I had need to fraternize. The need keeps chaning and mutating as I do. A lot of the fun is the banter that ensues from the commenting...so I have no issues with all sorts of comments. Just make it witty if nothing else.
I say "All-la-goes" when it comes to blogging jare.
Safe.
-ManCee
LOL @'bad-belle-ticus'
DeleteThose who know me know I am far from that.
Thanks for dropping by
I came back to read this so I could laugh all over again... Nice post!
ReplyDeleteNIL is a random-inspiration-teach them a lesson or two-tus!!!

You came over again......Great!

I think my sons will agree :)
Hope all is well with you

As ever, a fan!
ReplyDeleteYou forgot the narcissist-us! The one who is so self-obsessed and has a fan base of sycophants and 'true-talk'-haters!!!
You, tell-it-as-it-iscus!!!!
Love u! *winking as you correctly guess who I am. :)

Nice post.

Thanks again
xxxxxxxxxx
lol @Please tell me when the Nazis reincarnated in the form of forceful-natural-hair wearing black women............ , that's just hilarious! I'm a natural too o but I never force it down people's throat, I just encourage those who want to go that way, it's not as if the thing easy sef, far too time consuming.
ReplyDeleteAs a blogger, I'm just starting but I think I'm a far-too-serious-tus, I for refine myself as I grow I'm sure.
www.bukkyapampa.com
Loving you re: 'I just encourage those who want to go that way'
DeleteMwahhhhhh
That is all I ask
I'm off to your blog to see what the 'seriousness' is about
xxxxxxxxxx
This is the funniest blog I have read in weeks. This is an "oga ju blog. It rings of some truths about blogging/bloggers and I cannot agree less with some of the points you have raised here. The most fascinating is how you were able to use humour to present a serious case. I must say I enjoyed it seriously. Naija Mum, you are too much. lol
ReplyDeleteLOL @'Oga Ju.....' Thanks Mykey
DeleteHow are you
I am really really flattered by your lovely words
thanks again
xxxxxxxxxx
