Tell us a bit about yourself.
Naijacommunity, I should say that am most surprised for this chat....but it is ok, that small me is remembered...laughs.
I don’t know how to talk about myself....my name is Nkiru Ifeajuna...don’t ask about my age...please...laughs...I was born in Onitsha to Mr and Mrs Charles Ifeajuna....My Dad was a banker while my Mum was a teacher....am from a well to do family and the famous Ifeajuna family in Onitsha.
Am from a family of four, am the only girl, and growing up was fun...If I remember a lot of things we do then playing pranks, Yabing and other memorable things we do, when we come back on holidays.... I would feel like the hand of clock should be set back.
I attended primary school in Lagos, and Secondary school partly Onitsha, and partly Aguatha, Ananmbra, My Dad wanted me us to know where we are from that was why....then Higher Institution: Nigerian Institute of Journalism, Lagos...I want to stop here....laughs.
I went on to Practice my profession which is journalism: I work with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) and some other things....I prefer health worker because it makes me to relate with people one on one, and feel their pain and pity them also....even if you do not have anything to give but if the person can see who cares....it goes a long way to put smile on their faces.
I came into that through my Aunty, who is a health worker, so over the years I do go with her to some places to care for people but one thing though, I can’t stand blood....laughs.
I have work with a lot of NGO’s, and it is good caring for someone....that is the orientation I got from my parents....take care of people who need it more than you.

How did you find out about Naijacommunity? And tell us your best section on the site.
My friend came to visit me and as we are gisting he was busy with his BB, and I told him he was not listening to the conversation and reminded him that he asked me a question, I was responding to, he told me that he was getting news update from a website, and that as news breaks, they are uploading it life and direct.
I asked what site, he told me but I forgot, something naija something...I think, but I know naija is there, when some days I recalled the conversation, I didn’t bother, to call him and asked, before I finished typing naija and community propped up and I followed the instructions. I thought I got it, and I did the necessary login, behold I saw news posting and started reading.
He later told me it wasn’t it but I guess by then, I was comfortable with where I am, so I went all the way...laughs.

What is the most memorable story you read on Naijacommunity either good or bad.
All stories are good and ok, it depends on individual choices, some people like football, some music, some gossip, some others politics and others....so every news is ok, there is something to learn whether good or bad. So every story to me is memorable.....once you learn a thing or two.
Ok, now on to “more interesting” things, how many toasters have you had on Naijacommunity :)
Hmmm, eeemmm! Lol....to be honest, Naijacommunity, I can’t say but I know they do come....it is even funny the way the toasting goes at times....your name is on the mast and the person would ask your name....then he would ask you where your living, and before he did all that....I guess he has to introduce himself before asking questions.
If you have manage to scale through all that...he would tell you he loves you and ask for phone number...within seconds you are talking...it is funny.
It is part of life but people should endeavour to go a step at a time for all these kinds of things....some men seems to rush things, even women also....laughs.

Do you have someone special in your life and is he also a member of the network?
I have someone I respect so much, his way of doing things, his respect and appreciation for me, and his advice whenever, I need it....he is always willing to go all the way...he is a great guy...he is good....and I do tell him that...yes, he is a member of the of the network....but don’t ask me to name him, that would be suicidal.....laughs.
What qualities do you find attractive in people?
If someone is upright, honest, open and call a spade a spade....tell the truth as it is...you have got me.
How do you feel when people criticize your opinions on the site?
If you are not criticized in what you say or do....you would wonder if you are doing the right thing....but constructive criticizism is what counts.....and if you criticize proffer solution....I don’t see it as anything...it makes you to see the other persons view point....you learn from it..
The only thing that bothers me is those who abuse and curse...because you are not in line with their thought or maybe, they already have a mindset about you, anything you say is nonsense....we talk to learn...we opined to learn from others and see what they have to offer.
An irrelevant talk or some stupid comment maybe the truth to whatever answers, we are taught that in school, may be the best opinion, it might even be your lead in a write up.
That brings me to another issue; why Nigerians do not read, we must read to be abreast of happenings in our society, we criticize government...our points of what they are not getting right and what should be done is getting to them and that is why you see them do some abracadabra, to make us believe they heard us.

Who would you say is your role model?
Aha! My role model first is my Mum, she is a disciplinarian but my Dad is harder.....every step you take she is guiding you and when you want to chose another way she would say no...you must do the right thing....and that is why, I and my siblings are all ok. She taught us a lot I can’t begin to name...my compassion towards people is from her. She likes taking care of people instead of herself.
Aside her, any woman that is very industrious is my role model....women too much...they take care of their families, go to work and still achieve things....they are too much....laughs.

Any advice for Naijacommunity administrators?
You guys are doing well...there is nothing to advice...I noticed that you people are always upgrading and changing things for the better....when someone has a concept....if you start advising anyhow, the person might get confused...and deviate from that concept....so far so good....laughs.
In a few words tell those reading this anything you wish them to know
Let them keep reading Naijacomms, and also respect each other’s views and stop abuse and insults...if anyone airs their views....if they are not in agreement with anyone’s opinion...they should lecture the person or bring out points that would make the person, know more about the topic.
Anyone’s views is how the person perceived issue.... there is no need to insult but correct....and Please, we should use the networks to educate ourselves and learn more things....that is what the networks are all about.
Thanks so much Naijacommunity.
