i intended to bring this to the forum since saturday evening
when one of our regular and esteem member made the above
comment on his wall in facebook, one of the worlds largest
social website.
the question now is, how true is it, that these social networks
can ruin someone's relationship, wether marital or otherwise?
as for me, so long you are fair and transparent in your dealings
you should have nothing to fear concerning your activities on
the website. but for those with double face might likely face
trouble.
facebook has now become a world platform, apart from making
new friends, old buddies reunite once again - i luv it that way?
lets hear Gogannaka's view tukuna???????????????????????????
It might ruin for some but not for everyone.
Assalamu alaikum,
The site (facebook) piss me off. Unlike many people, I presume. I am more interested in sites where real discussions take place; where you meet intellectuals and discuss, debate, etc with them; where you, if you are that lucky, meet your...eh, as well. It happens right? ;D ;D ;D
Thus I don't think that frigging site can have a speck of influence on me in any way. I just visit it as under duress. Should I continue? ;D ;D ;D
Or probably as Husnaa put. Agreed.
Db why do you want me to respond first?
Have you heard of the person that attempted to kill his wife because she changed her status to single?
@Muhsin you know actually there are amazing and intellectual people on facebook too.
I think one needs to be cautious of his words and comments on the social websites especially when you have your spouse and family members on your friend list.
A simple change of status on facebook can jeopardize a relationship ko ba haka ba? E.g from 'engaged' to 'single'
And also people find it easy flirting around on these sites especially with the very attractive pictures circulating these sites.Before you know it,you are caught one day by your spouse (or whatever) and you have no excuse.
lol GGNK, the last time i erroneously changed my status to single
i received more than 10 private message from my wives friends
and family, i just have to change my status back immediately,
kasan singles do sell very well on facebook 8) 8)

I know. But it's unlike this forum and its likes where not every Dick and Tom can just register and withstand the "actions" going on.

Muhsin, try and get some of yr friends together and register as members. You will begin to enjoy it then. Its not a forum for debate. Its a global majalisa.
@ DB:To kai ma wa ya kai ka?
Were you looking for a new catch?Don't trust all those pictures you see.
My friend almost lost his mutunci and girlfriend when another girl posted their photo together.
@ Muhsin,kai da baka saka hoton ka ba yaya za'ayi kayi selling?
There are several reasons why people register with these sites.
Some go there to find suitors,some to stalk on other people,some to reunite with old buddies and some to make new friends or market.
It all depends on the manner you use it.
Yanzu zumunci ya koma facebook or the social networking sites.
Who's on facebook here? I never did get to like the site. I visit once in a while, but I'm not too much into it.
BKGZ,it is better that you don't enjoy it.
You are a dangerous guy.

;D ;D ;D ;D what about if compared with IBB?
Hmm,Its like you don't know BKGZ.
You know he is the most anonymous user even on kanoonline so he can be an anonymous user on facebook as well.
No one can ever know. I just don't trust him :P
Have you heard of the MI5 ex boss that was on facebook using a fake identity.
He is thought to have shared classified information while disguising himself as an espionage freak.
Wish i had him as a friend.
Sannan DB kai ma i don't trust your moves on facebook and twitter.
I received confidential information that you are toasting a facebooker who didn't know you had two wives and she almost fell for you.

Majalisa...in what sense? I feel like I even don't know the site's function.
Actually I use to wonder, for I realized, for long especially during Obama/McCain campaign, how Western countries and their nationals take facebook; they revere it. And many more instances.

Hehe, nice topic! I think social networking sites are what you make of them. If you've got skeletons
in your closet then yeah it'll ruin your relationship. But if you're secure and honest in your dealings than it
won't hurt anyone at all. In fact, it may even strengthen it. Facebook can tell you a lot more about a person
in a less awkward way.
I love facebook because it helped me reconnect with people from my past that I never thought i'd meet again
in this lifetime. Now instead of writing personal emails to each friend or writing a group email, I can just update
my status! Killing lots of birds with 1 stone and that my friends, is the efficiency of Facebook.
Although I did get the shock of my life when I got a notice that my Mother had added me on facebook. Then it got
more complicated when my friends started adding her too and referring to her as "their cool Aunty" on her wall postings!
But hey, I realised that I had absolutely nothing to hide so by all means, add away Mummy!
Social Networking sites are not bad if your intentions are clean.
Facebook is good. Though Twitter is the new black.

As for facebook, maybe I'm a (or was) member. Or may be not. ::) Let me check. I will be back.
For all you ppl who dont want yr marital status to be known, do one thing and stay clear of trouble, dont write it. Just leave it blank and leave ppl guessing.

Here's some thing i got from CNN.com about the type of facebookers (the most annoying type of facebookers) 'edited':
The Let-Me-Tell-You-Every-Detail-of-My-Day Bore. "I'm waking up." "I had Wheaties for breakfast." "I'm bored at work." "I'm stuck in traffic." You're kidding! How fascinating! No moment is too mundane for some people to broadcast unsolicited to the world. Just because you have 432 Facebook friends doesn't mean we all want to know when you're waiting for the bus.
The Self-Promoter. OK, so we've probably all posted at least once about some achievement. And sure, maybe your friends really do want to read the fascinating article you wrote about beet farming. But when almost EVERY update is a link to your blog, your poetry reading, your 10k results or your art show, you sound like a bragger or a self-centered careerist.
The Friend-Padder. The average Facebook user has 120 friends on the site. Schmoozers and social butterflies -- you know, the ones who make lifelong pals on the subway -- might reasonably have 300 or 400. But 1,000 "friends?" Unless you're George Clooney or just won the lottery, no one has that many. That's just showing off.
The Town Crier. "Michael Jackson is dead!!!" You heard it from me first! Me, and the 213,000 other people who all saw it on TMZ. These Matt Drudge wannabes are the reason many of us learn of breaking news not from TV or news sites but from online social networks. In their rush to trumpet the news, these people also spread rumors, half-truths and innuendo. No, Jeff Goldblum did not plunge to his death from a New Zealand cliff.
The Lurker. The Peeping Toms of Facebook, these voyeurs are too cautious, or maybe too lazy, to update their status or write on your wall. But once in a while, you'll be talking to them and they'll mention something you posted, so you know they're on your page, hiding in the shadows. It's just a little creepy.
The Paparazzo. Ever visit your Facebook page and discover that someone's posted a photo of you from last weekend's party -- a photo you didn't authorize and haven't even seen? You'd really rather not have to explain to your mom why you were leering like a drunken hyena and French-kissing a bottle of Jagermeister.
The Chronic Inviter. "Support my cause. Sign my petition. Play Mafia Wars with me. Which 'Star Trek' character are you? Here are the 'Top 5 cars I have personally owned.' Here are '25 Things About Me.' Here's a drink. What drink are you? We're related! I took the 'What President Are You?' quiz and found out I'm Millard Fillmore! What president are you?"
You probably mean well, but stop. Just stop. I don't care what president I am -- can't we simply be friends?
nice one GGNK
I couldn't upload my picture yesterday. I don't have any good one, thats why.
My ex changed her status to Single for "no reason at all" and added over 200 new male 'friends'.
It ruined our relationship. ;D
It's not "for no reason at all". You might be the reason. ::)

Take the case of neozizo versus Ex of 2008.
Probably when she changed the status,idan kai baka sani ba sai ka ji ana bugo maka waya ana maka jaje ko kuma ana tambayar ka me ya faru.
Neozizo,i bet when you saw her adding 200 MALE friends kishi ya kusan kashe ka ko. But kasan gaskiya e no mean fa if you are the champ 8)

The thing is that the sort of facebook social networking is not in sync with our cultural backgrounds. Kunsan cewa it was made for the western types of society where gender mingling is not regarded as anything to raise eyebrows over. Kai akwai ma wa'yansu wuraren aiki, where they have stopped having gender separate washrooms. So you can see just how jumbled up everything has become.
Quote from: MuhsinIt's not "for no reason at all". You might be the reason :)
I might and i might not be.
U know there's always 3 sides of the story in relationships.
His side, her side and the correct side.
Seems u 'heard' her side. :)

Wai is irin wannan kishin healthy at all?
Gaskiya akwai kishi sosai. I dont feel like a champ.
But what really ruined the relationship was all the fuss i made about her changing of status.
She added the 200 extras afterwards to get at me i think
Also, the fact that my status had
always been on single didnt help.
Gogannaka i cant figure out what kind of facebooker i am. maybe a little bit of all.
Salam, facebooking is cool. You can use it in so many positive ways, and just like Fateez, i like it because it helped me reconnect with old pals of mine. And i think its the coolest communication tool on ground, you pass info as quickly as possible for a cheap prize.
From time to time, i reveiw my friendlist and remove innactive friends that dont communicate at all. In fact, i would not add you if i know we would not be corresponding.
Almost everybody you know might be on facebook today, that makes it so much easier to do zumunci, it reduces a lot of stress.
Some people feel that they dont like publicity others feel it's a tool to collect peoples data for the western superpower global control, while some feel its "Yahudanci" in the making but hey, you can control what you put up there, hell you can be incogneto if you want like some people do. They register with fake aliases and upload abstract pictures.
For the issue of distroying people's relationship, well, all i can say is people are diverse. Some are highly emotional while others are not. Some don't even give a damn what you do online. I also think it depends on how we value relationships and how honest we are, and also with what intention we registered on the site.
Muda all philosophical. Shi yasa naga my name has been removed from yr list of all time favorite ppl :P :P :P :P :P
Lol...Haba dan rashin kunya, ni na isa? Ai ni na san ko kin tafi, like the prodigal son, you'll come back!
I have a feeling that for one to really enjoy facebook, you have to have lots of time on your hand. Probably that's why I'm too into it. I prefer simple, uncomplicated sites like these. Besides, apart from your known friends, how do you trust all the information/data of the so-called "friends" you make there?
This is news. BKGZ on facebook? How's that? you are the most elusive person on this forum I mean u could be a ghost for all anyone knows. So if u are on facebook, what are u from that list that GGNK supplied? Certainly I think you must be in a category of yr own... lets see we have the lurker, the clarion caller the friend collector, the sales person and the media mogul.... u fall under.... the invisible man.. possibly.

Sorry. I meant to say "probably why I'm
not too into it". And yeah, if I'm on facebook, then I'm most likely going to fall into the invincible man category. For the simple reason I stated earlier - I don't have the luxury of the time needed to enjoy my stay on such sites.
Of course mana, Facebook is meant for kananan mutanen irin mu, not manya like BKZ lol, by the way, if your are on facebook and you start making friends, you'll find the time, even if its before you close your eyes to sleep.
Abin har da mocking?
Aah! Ba mocking bane wallah, kawai dai kasan yanda abun yake. Honestly, sometimes i wonder how you even manage to steal time to get here, not to talk of facebook.
Yes, kasan in kai ne "junior" in the office, you are at everyone's beck and call ;D You struggle to attend to so many ogas.
In my opinion, facebook is a "zumunci website". Its almost like visiting someones house to see how theyr doing. Also a good tool for "kasuwanci, neman ilimi, neman aure, gulmace-gulmace, 'karya da gaskiya.. duk da akwai." the list is endless .. just depends what type of user you are. but for sure i dont fall into any of these 12 groups by CNN!?
Muntata how did u happen to be a senior member with over three hundred posts? This is the first time I am seeing that name.
You beat me to it. I noticed that too.

Enjoy reading this piece about the boy that programmed
the website called facebook, yaron dropout ne fa ikon Allah.
The face of Facebook is Mark Zuckerberg, the mogul who's guiding its extraordinary growth. What everyone wants to know is: Is he old enough to be running a company some people say is the biggest thing since Google?
"I'm 23 right now," Zuckerberg tells Stahl when asked how old he is.
"And you're running this huge company," Stahl remarks.
"It's not that big," Zuckerberg says.
During her visit to Facebook's headquarters, Zuckerberg helped Stahl set up her own Facebook page, with a profile of her likes and dislikes. They added her friends and family, and within a few minutes, she got a friend request.
"Here's a guy I haven't talked to in two years and I'm so thrilled to hear from him," Stahl remarks.
This is why so many find the site addictive. In a world with no cell phone or e-mail directories, Facebook has become a way to find lost friends.
"It used to be the case, like you'd switch jobs. And then maybe you wouldn't keep in touch with all the people that you knew from that old job. Just 'cause it was too hard," Zuckerberg explains. "But one of the things that Facebook does is it makes it really easy to just stay in touch with all these people."
Of course, if someone tries to "friend" you, you can ignore them. And privacy settings allow you to deny access to your page say, to your boss or your parents.
Facebook's headquarters in downtown Palo Alto look like a dorm room; the 400 employees, who get free food and laundry, show up late, stay late, and party really late.
Zuckerberg, who's made the cover of Newsweek and is reportedly worth $3 billion, sits at a desk like the other software engineers, writing computer code.
"Have you changed your lifestyle? You don't look like you're buyin' really expensive clothes," Stahl asks Zuckerberg, who showed up to the interview in a sweatshirt and sandals.
"No, I'm not buying really expensive clothes," Zuckerberg replies, laughing.
"Are you buying things that you would be...," Stahl asks.
"Yeah. No, I have a little, like one bedroom apartment with a mattress on the floor. That's where I live," Zuckerberg says.
Kara Swisher, who used to write about Silicon Valley for The Wall Street Journal and now has a blog, All Things Digital, has called him "The Toddler CEO."
"What do you think it's done to him, as a person, to be 23 years old...," Stahl asks.
"Well, I think it's hard. I think when all of a sudden you're the smartest person in the world, and you're the meal ticket for everybody, and this is the big hit. This is the new Google at this point," Swisher says. "And so Mark is under a lot of pressure, because everybody wants something from him."
Like the founders of Google, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Mark Zuckerberg is looked up to in Silicon Valley as a visionary.
"You seem to be replacing Larry and Sergey as the people out here who everyone's talking about," Stahl remarks. Zuckerberg doesn't reply, only stares at her at length.
"You're just staring at me," she adds.
"Is that a question?" Zuckerberg asks.
We were warned that he can be awkward and reluctant to talk about himself, so we turned for help to his Facebook page, which says he's a Harvard alum.
"You're not a Harvard alum," Stahl remarks, looking at his own list of networks.
"That's true. We don't have a setting for dropout," Zuckerberg explains.
"These social networking sites can ruin a relationship" - FACEBOOKER
The solution to this is to show your face and hers or yours and his on the FACEBOOK as I have seen many have done. Fa-Annaha laba'sa!
is this a fatwa?

Husnaan ce elderly and experienced.
Lallai ka ci abinci....as Muhsin would say.
Here's some thing i got from CNN.com about the type of facebookers (the most annoying type of facebookers) 'edited':
The Let-Me-Tell-You-Every-Detail-of-My-Day Bore. "I'm waking up." "I had Wheaties for breakfast." "I'm bored at work." "I'm stuck in traffic." You're kidding! How fascinating! No moment is too mundane for some people to broadcast unsolicited to the world. Just because you have 432 Facebook friends doesn't mean we all want to know when you're waiting for the bus.
The Self-Promoter. OK, so we've probably all posted at least once about some achievement. And sure, maybe your friends really do want to read the fascinating article you wrote about beet farming. But when almost EVERY update is a link to your blog, your poetry reading, your 10k results or your art show, you sound like a bragger or a self-centered careerist.
The Friend-Padder. The average Facebook user has 120 friends on the site. Schmoozers and social butterflies -- you know, the ones who make lifelong pals on the subway -- might reasonably have 300 or 400. But 1,000 "friends?" Unless you're George Clooney or just won the lottery, no one has that many. That's just showing off.
The Town Crier. "Michael Jackson is dead!!!" You heard it from me first! Me, and the 213,000 other people who all saw it on TMZ. These Matt Drudge wannabes are the reason many of us learn of breaking news not from TV or news sites but from online social networks. In their rush to trumpet the news, these people also spread rumors, half-truths and innuendo. No, Jeff Goldblum did not plunge to his death from a New Zealand cliff.
The Lurker. The Peeping Toms of Facebook, these voyeurs are too cautious, or maybe too lazy, to update their status or write on your wall. But once in a while, you'll be talking to them and they'll mention something you posted, so you know they're on your page, hiding in the shadows. It's just a little creepy.
The Paparazzo. Ever visit your Facebook page and discover that someone's posted a photo of you from last weekend's party -- a photo you didn't authorize and haven't even seen? You'd really rather not have to explain to your mom why you were leering like a drunken hyena and French-kissing a bottle of Jagermeister.
The Chronic Inviter. "Support my cause. Sign my petition. Play Mafia Wars with me. Which 'Star Trek' character are you? Here are the 'Top 5 cars I have personally owned.' Here are '25 Things About Me.' Here's a drink. What drink are you? We're related! I took the 'What President Are You?' quiz and found out I'm Millard Fillmore! What president are you?"
You probably mean well, but stop. Just stop. I don't care what president I am -- can't we simply be friends?
Lol!!! GGNK u've analysed it all, mind you i've seen
sum one with 1'000 sumfin frends, i was like whoa hidima.

Do u want to know what I think of facebook or other social networking site?
I think the evils associated with them has over shadowed the benefits
Why?
Because this so called internet social society where i can connect with my distance sisters, brother, lost friend, old school mate, collegues or even next next door neighbour or flat mate (who is about ten steps way) or my sister or brother who lives just within 20 miles radius- has been overshadowed by half naked sisters and brother showing up their bodies to you and others God knows who.
The second and the fore most reason why i deactivate my accounts in these sites, is the "fake life display" that has scramble the whole place, anywhere you look, is so unfortunate even among our sisters and brothers.
Thirdly, married couple too scanning for friends claimining reconnecting with old buddies.
Facebook as per as i'm concern is an internet brothel packed with albums of hotties around the corner- just look for one that match your profile
Facebook=brothel? Kai! ;D ;D ;D
BTW, many many days, big pal. Laifin me mu kai! And you no longer pick calls...don't know why? Don Allah ayi hakuri. Regards to old bride.
Amarya dai (ai har yanzu ina tanadin ta) Lafiya Lau. U must have called at the busy hours. (U know say international call-back no easy 4 here).
Barka da Sallah
Kai, IBB. You are a big man fa, while am a "poor" student. ;D
Belated Barka da Sallah to you as well. Thanks

Point of correction:
Muhsin had a kiosk.
Hence, listen to him IBB.
Supermarket kace DB? To ashe inzo inyi shopping kenan ko na sami big discount

Haba DB, ya IBB yana kokarin aiko min £s kana hanawa??? ???

Ehem. Matter of fact, Oga IBB, I had a kiosk but Shekarau's irresponsible gov't recently destroyed it to "ashes". Am now jobless. :(

You are not far from the truth. There was this time I was waiting for a system to be free Country Mall's internet cafe. This small boy occupying the system I was waiting for was on Facebook. He couldn't be more than 12yrs old. He was chatting with, or sending a romantic message to, this lady. I couldn't resist a peek, bcos I said to my self what is this small boy doing with big girl (judging by her picture). Nace kaga irin shirmen banzan ba ::) The poor girl have no idea that she's dealing with a toddler ;D

That and more reasons kept me away from facebook until recently.
BTW, manya ma suna zuwa cafes? Although that one is special and expensive.
You'll be surprised at a lot of things that "manya' do. Or don't do.

this comment was made by one of my friends on fb:

Gogannaka, can u interpret the above statement?
DB you don't need no interpretation.
All the words have the same meaning.
May Allah guide whoever it is that got that comment.

Kai mallam do not be misogynistic about it mana, kana ji fa wasu ma har aure suke yi. the thing about Facebook is this, you can use it any how you like, if you want to use it positively you can, if negatively you can too, its just like TV, Internet, Computers, Phones and what have you.
Hahaha!!! Muda, I like 'em like everyone does. But fb life is somekinda surreal and fictional. . .thants why. Understand?
lol It really isnt it. i think close to about 90% of my FB friends are people i have met, and i know there is hope i will see them again someday, infact i've made a kind of rule that i only add people i have met physically, in order to protect my image, you know.
Ok. ;D
I'll say more when I get back, inshaAllah. Cya.

Surely that's the only way to be safe.....cos there are so many faceless guys out there....

forum language that means, bye bye to this issue.

Sarkin Baka, just last week, i met 3 of my friends who
I have lost contact since 1989 - and the magic word is
just to remember their full names and search it from
the fb page and there you are - pictures dont lie.
kuma ba a rasa yan kawayen hira unlike kanoonline lol.
thats why you see muhsin always changing his pictures
every now and then tare da amininsa gogannaka.

Sharri kayan kwalaba.
Yanzu dai facebook and other social website users need to be cautious with their status updates because Umar Farouk Mutallab's status updates are being used to make a case against him. He posted somewhere online that he is lonely and has no-one to talk to and the govt and media(who are now more like hollywood entertainers) are using it as evidence of extremism......hisssss.
Almost everyone at one time has posted being lonely or bored as a status.

If your words are true why do I have to bother myself that its dead? You see. . .
I nearly all the time easily get pissed-off on fb. I prepare boards like this very one. More serious, more matured, more intellectual, name the rest.
DB,
Muhsin dai bai bai kawo batun kawaye ba is lyk abinda kai ke yi a fb kenan.Tadama ( o'boy) da yaren su DB we know how serious d ppl of far North are with kawaye. ;D ;D
