I took my time to type a reasonable message to you and all of a sudden you are sending VN to me, do you know if I am in an appropriate place to listen to your frog voice and respond? It just seem selfish and unreasonable.

I normally let the person know about the inappropriateness, but if the person continues; I reply whenever I can.

I hate that shiit like shiit.

Some people are so STUPID that they'll send you a VN from inside a party venue. Really grinds my gears.

Like if I wanted to hear your frog voice, I'd give you a call. But I don't and that's why I'm texting you.

Whenever someone does that NONSENSE with me, I warn them IMMEDIATELY to never send me a VN. If they persist, I block them and delete their number.

Thought I was the only one that dislikes that shiit.

It's not a bad invention, it's the way Nigerians use it that is very annoying.

Omoh, I tried to be understanding but truthfully I just dislike unexpected VN; like you said, I would have just put a call across to you. Very annoying something.

Bad wording dear, but that stuff is so annoying; it requires a different organ, what makes you think I want to stress myself to answer you.

Very annoying voices, I literally cringe listening to a voicenote this morning.

I listen to that VN more than 4 times without being able to comprehend and reply and I was at a busy/noisy spot. I haven't reply self upto now, would do that this night before sleeping or tomorrow morning.

Sometimes typing can be very boring and stressful, especially when you have a lot to say at once.

Imagine a situation where as a 9-5er working in Lagos, you just returned from work (after beating that Lagos traffic)...and someone important gives you a lengthy chat that can't wait..Omo! Me na VN go solve am o!

People are rude actually then turn around and call the other person unserious

Imagine running a business
And someone just sends you a voicenote while you're trying to reply other msgs

The most annoying is

WhatsApp call from someone you don't know
People just believe they have access to anyone and no need to ask for permission

I don't want to even start about the WhatsApp call self, I can only pick WhatsApp call from very few people.

Others you have to take permission so that we schedule a call. Lot of annoying people out there that don't know the meaning of boundary.

Understandable, but that is why you learnt summary in school.

The annoying part of VN is that it's selfish, do you care to think if the person is in a space where he could easily listen to VN and reply ASAP?

As long as the person didn't start the chat with VN, it is idiotic to reply with it.

don't stress yourself about vn. if you cannot respond immediately, you cannot respond immediately.

you can type as much as you want

besides, not everyone has the same "amount of time" you have to type 300 lines of text on whatsapp

that means even you, complaining about vn, are being selfish.

Oga simply type and let the person know whatsoever reasons you cant reply, listen and reply later.

most everyone type, oga type full speech if you want🗨 not every word you have to summarise.

like a friend will say, no be every word them dey type ... if u want make person feel u talk am as e be.

I like your enthusiasm but I right now my bro I can't deal with dull people.

You don't understand the crux of the matter but you decided to give your opinion anyway, can't stress myself right now explaining what a dumbass you are. So let's just say you are right to prevent any further back and forth.

As for me, I prefer VN than typing, you typed because it's the best way for you to communicate. Am just too lazy at typing, so it's not intentional

Actually I would rather type that shit out that use voice notes on Whatsapp, however people have preference and adapt to what's convenience to them, How ever I recently came to realize that using voice not to explain or give instruction, direction, etc is more effective than typing it out, it saves time and easier than typing long words.

Despite this, I found my voice very croaked and hoarse, worse than davido sef over voice note, so I barely do voice note

Meanwhile I know people that have become used to voice note, to even reply with "ok I will call you" Dem go use VN, it can be annoying tho

What a waste of time.
All of you are not serious. The fact is that anything you chose to chat with me about is not that important and is definitely not urgent. If it were urgent, you will call me. So it means it can wait. That is for those that will cry I took 1hr to respond.
As for how I respond it is my business. If I chat you and you have a lot to say to me, please by all means use a voice note. I really want you to say all you have to say and not give me some shitty summary just because you can't type long. If I can't listen to it, then like I said earlier, it can wait. In our self righteousness, we have forgotten that speech is a much better communication tool that text. The tone of your voice can communicate your feelings and mindset, those things you can not type. There are a lot of things that can be misinterpreted when typed but when said, the intended meaning can not be mistaken.
What would you chose? For someone to type "I lv u", or for the same person to record a voice note saying "I love you" in a romantic way. I will definitely choose the later.
So all of you complaining about VN should rest. If you want formal communication, then call. If you choose the informal route, then let the other person choose how he wants it. It must not be your way.
As for the voice noters, try to understand that the dude chatting you up could be lazying around and bored and just needs the chat to while away time. So he wants the chat to be long and if you use VN, you would be cutting the chat short and he doesn't want that. So indulge him if you can.

Why send me voice note, I go come play am, come do voice note and respond when you can just do voice call and say what you want to say
