Hey you! Before you start to read my story, I'll suggest we make an agreement that you won't laugh at me but only at the experience. Yes, there's a difference with those two kinds of laugh ๐Ÿ˜‚ just don't laugh at the whole story too much and instead congratulate me for getting myself out of it at last.

It was like 7 years ago when I first got the opportunity to own a Facebook account through a friend of mine who was always on Facebook and I thought it'd be cool to own one when she told me she has lots of friends unlike her reality with no friends except me.

I thought having lots of friends on Facebook would be so cool...

I registered an account even though I had no phone to stay active ๐Ÿ˜‚ my friend and I would use her phone within a time given to us to chat a little. Thinking about it now, she was a really kind soul. She didn't make me feel like the phone wasn't mine, I always got to use it whenever I wanted to and same with her too (actually, na only Facebook we dey use the phone do ๐Ÿฅฒ)

We continued like that for almost a year and I also got to experience what it felt like to have a lot of virtual friends, we would talk all day about the annoying ones we've chatted with and the sweet friends we've chatted with... That our friendship sweet that year sha ๐Ÿ˜


Hey, don't look at this picture too much... If you laugh!๐Ÿ˜‚

And finally, I got a new phone to stay active at night when I'm not with my friend. You see that phone in my hand on that picture? That phone was like an iPhone for me back then, it could do almost anything I wanted to do (tell me it isn't like an iPhone) ๐Ÿ™„

This phone lets me stay online for as long as I want to with small amount of data spent (my friend actually gives me airtime to buy data, she sells recharge cards back then ๐Ÿ˜‚) and this phone allows me to take really good picture (HD quality) and listen to music with best sounds through my ear piece. Above all, this phone was all I needed back then to be my own Boss.

Then Facebook happened to me...

You know you've not been on Facebook if you don't go for a first meet up with a person you chat with most often. And you've not been on Facebook if you don't block somebody or somebody don't block you. Again, you've not been on Facebook if you don't get scam in your weak state ๐Ÿฅฒ

So yeah, all those happened to me but at different times and they all led me to love and value this blogging site called Hive more than any social media platform.

My first Facebook meet-up went well but the second with another friend turned me into a liar, I had to lie that my mum was asking for my presence just so I could run away from him... He was hopping on one leg ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜‚ God forgive me o

The first time I blocked a friend on Facebook, I felt one kind of peaceful wave go through my chest... That guy wanted to frustrate me with bad chats and lies.

The first and last time I got scammed was when I sent 5k to get 10k from the person... Shey na me help am work the 5k turn to 10k abi? ๐Ÿ˜‚ I didn't blame the lady sha, it was my greediness I blamed.

Let me end my Facebook story here, if I should tell the other parts, we won't leave here and it won't be a story again... It will be a seasonal movie.

Got any short Facebook story? Share with us in the comment section, the funnier the better... I can't be alone in this ๐Ÿ˜‚

You have been pretty for a long time, imagine looking this good without a filter.

We all have one Facebook story or the other and mine would be a Novel if I start sharing it. I open my Facebook in 2009 and the rest is history, the social media is part of life and I am sure those experiences added some value to us.

We all pass that cringe moments, I even deleted my FB account because I cannot withstand my cringey posts. The world will forgive us all. ๐Ÿ˜ต๐Ÿ˜‚

I started my internet journey with Facebook too! It was mainly games, but I was also posting random sh*t all the time, much like what you do in Twitter, but that was 2010/2011 era... and no one likes my post because I only have a few friends. Most of them are strangers from the FB games we played.

I have this tiny phone where I'd use the 'hack' to use the internet for free, I use FB the whole day even during school time. I'd play FB games on computer in an internet cafรฉ at 0.27 USD per hour. I wish I was frugal, back then, I should be rich by now! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Facebook is something I never liked. It is just a box of lies, insecurities and scams that snatches the peace of mind. I have a facebook account. It has been months (more than an year I guess) since I logged in. I have even forgotten my password. Honestly speaking, I started having depression when I used facebook for some time. Thankfully, I found my way to social media blogging and that's the best thing facebook did to me.

You know what made me laugh. The conversion of 5k to 10k. How come you believe anyone without knowing the person!
Well, all of us become victim of scams one way or the other so no worries.

Thanks to God, Hive saved your life from FB

Omoh. Facebook is a home of massive tales. I remember when i first got blocked. I stalked the guy for weeks because I was so angry. I do the blocking!
So I created a new account, put my cousin's picture because that lady is fiiiiine! Then sent him a request. We started chatting. Then agreed to meet up. We exchanged numbers i was using my mom's phone then so it was her number I gave. Then he called so we'd agree on a venue. We've never spoken on the phone before. I agree to meet him at a place called Las Vegas. Then wait till he calls me to let me know he's arrived. I wait again till he calls me 20 minutes later then block his number after the call. Then I go to Facebook and leave the message, "That'll teach you not to block me asshole." Then I blocked him on Facebook and deleted that account.

Petty? Yes. Too much? Maybe. Satisfying? TOTALLY!

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ I had similar experience on Facebook too. I met this guy through Facebook and we decided to meet for the first time. Naso I travel go Lagos State from Oyo state when I was still doing my NCE. I got to Lagos and was waiting for this guy. Only for me to see a guy hopping on one leg from a distance. I recognized him quickly and I blamed myself.

If I had transport fare back, I could have just turned back and run for my life but he would be the one giving me money back. I don't have a choice but to follow him home.

The funniest part was him introducing me to his mom and family that I am his wife to be ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ I was shocked because he never said anything of such to me. Omo! E no funny that day but I escaped from him after collecting six yards of Ankara clothes, tin milk and bournvita ๐Ÿคค๐Ÿคค๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…
