As a queer person, the best thing that can happen to you is finding a community that cares about you. That鈥檚 why when people create those random queer whatsapp group chats, there鈥檚 always a rush to join. It鈥檚 all fun and games until at least four people annoy everyone and people stop texting.
1. The activist
These people are such a gift. They stay reminding everyone about important queer dates and happenings. They鈥檙e always ready to answer questions or ginger people to learn more about . Grateful for their existence, tbh.

2. The Twitter-famous gay person
Everyone and their mums have a crush on them. As soon as they join the group chat, everyone goes to their Twitter accounts to talk about how fate has brought them to their doorstep and how they can鈥檛 breathe. Wahala for who no famous.
3. The single person looking to find love
As soon as a new member joins the group chat, you鈥檒l see them flirting almost immediately. The funniest part is that they never actually find love, but it鈥檚 interesting to watch them try. Must be nice to be that bold sha.
4. The person who keeps planning hangouts
The only thing they talk about is hanging out 24/7. It鈥檚 sweet and all, but 鈥渙utside鈥 is expensive and exhausting, please, so maybe don鈥檛 make people feel bad for saying no. When the hangout happens though, it鈥檚 always memorable 鈥 the kind that makes you feel good for a long time.
5. The queer person abroad
It can be a little lonely being in a country so far away, where no one understands your struggles as a queer Nigerian, so it makes sense that they鈥檒l join Nigerian queer groups like these. But they don’t know how much hope they give us still living in Nigeria when they send pictures of themself living so loudly queer and free.

6. The gossip
Do you have secrets? Good for you, they know it already. They know all the tea and they don鈥檛 mind spilling it on a whim. While this makes people cautious about what they say around them. But gossip doesn鈥檛 always mean harm.
7. The person who knows everybody
They鈥檙e friends with everybody you can think of. If you want to interview someone, just ask them. If you have a crush on someone and you鈥檙e too shy to message, ask them for help or an introduction. They鈥檙e the solid plug for everything.
8. The pick-me
These ones stress me out. In what sane world would it make sense to understand your oppressor’s point of view? Arguing with them can be so pointless because they鈥檙e so set in their ways. I hope they heal sha because wtf!
9. The close friends
These guys were most likely friends before they got into the group or at least They鈥檙e the life of the group, bringing up games and fun topics, arguing playfully or insulting each other while everyone is asleep, but they keep the group active and that’s what matters.
