<p><br/></p><p>The phrase “Na so love pour me spit for eye” captures a raw, visceral truth about love—its ability to blindside us, leaving us stunned, vulnerable, and sometimes humiliated. Love, in all its intoxicating glory, can feel like a sudden splash of spit in the eye: unexpected, disorienting, and a little gross. Yet, it’s in this messiness that love reveals its unfiltered essence, a force that doesn’t always play nice or follow scripts.</p><p><br/></p><p>At its core, the phrase speaks to the shock of love’s unpredictability. You’re going about your life, minding your business, when love hits—sometimes sweet, sometimes stinging. It’s the lover who betrays, the crush who doesn’t notice you, or the partner who leaves you questioning your worth. Like spit in the eye, it’s not just the act but the audacity of it that stings. Love doesn’t always come with flowers and soft music; sometimes it’s a rude awakening, forcing you to see the world through blurred, teary vision.</p><p><br/></p><p>But there’s a deeper layer here. In Nigerian culture, pidgin often carries profound truths wrapped in humor and grit. To say love “pour me spit for eye” is to acknowledge its power to humble us. It’s the moment you realize you’ve fallen harder than you planned, or when love exposes your flaws, leaving you raw and real. It’s not just pain—it’s transformation. The spit stings, but it also cleanses, forcing you to wipe your eyes and see clearer. Love, in its chaos, teaches resilience, self-awareness, and the courage to keep going despite the mess.</p><p><br/></p><p>This phrase also hints at the communal nature of love’s lessons. In Nigeria, where storytelling and shared experiences shape understanding, love’s misadventures are often recounted with laughter and knowing nods. “Na so e be,” we say, because we’ve all been there—blinded by love’s spit, yet somehow wiser for it. It’s a reminder that love isn’t just personal; it’s a collective journey, full of shared sighs and second chances.</p><p><br/></p><p>Ultimately, “Na so love pour me spit for eye” is a call to embrace love’s imperfections. It’s not always poetic or pretty, but it’s real. It stings, it blinds, but it also opens your eyes to who you are and what you’re capable of enduring. So, wipe the spit away, laugh it off, and keep loving—because even in its messiest moments, love is worth it.</p>

At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to 7 people with the best insights in the past month. The 7 winners are picked
by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.

user engages with other users' content via comments and upvotes.
Here is a list of metrics that are used to calcuate the Engagement Score, arranged from
the metric with the highest weighting, to the one with the lowest weighting.

A user's comments (excluding replies & said user's comments on their own content)
2

Monthly Score
The Top Monthly Contributors ranking is a monthly metric indicating how users respond to your posts, not just how many you publish.
We look at three main things:
1
How strong your best post is —
Your highest-scoring post this month carries the most weight. One great post can take you far.
2
How consistent the engagement you receive is —
We also look at the average score of all your posts. If your work keeps getting good reactions, you get a boost.
3
How consistent the engagement you receive is —
Posting more helps — but only a little.
Extra posts give a small bonus that grows slowly, so quality always matters more than quantity.
In simple terms:
A great post beats many ignored posts
Consistently engaging posts beat one lucky hit
Spamming low-engagement posts won't help
Tips, comments, and upvotes from others matter most
This ranking is designed to reward
Thoughtful, high-quality posts
Real engagement from the community
Consistency over time — without punishing you for posting again
The Top Monthly Contributors leaderboard reflects what truly resonates, not just who posts the most.
