[b]Whats all this rubbish comparison between an EDUCATIVE,INTERACTIVE,ENLIGHTENING,INFORMATIVE forum like Nairaland to a gossip Blog like Linda Ikeji's? What is there to learn from her blog?,can the value visitors get on that blog be compared to what's obtainable on Nairaland? Many of us can boast of the business contacts,business exposure and loads of cash we have made from just FREE POSTING on this forum. I bet many of us log onto Nairaland first thing every morning on connecting to the Internet before we even peruse other websites. Have we even thought about the membership strength of this forum? If Seun says, for us to view,post or comment on any thread on this forum,we should pay ONLY N100(One hundred Naira) every month as membership fees,I can assure you that over half a million of us would willingly pay that sum(of coz we would consider it a pittance and would not feel a pinch paying it),going by our addiction to this forum. Doing some math,if ONLY 100,000 people decides to pay that amount,that would mean a cool N10m(Ten Million Naira) monthly for that nicca Seun,and of course we all know that almost every member would pay that measly 100bucks just to be active on NL,and we all by now should know how much Bro Seun would be smiling to the bank with every month. Because Seun does not flaunt himself does not mean he does not have some expensive belongings in his kitty,abi owning a forum this old with this large database na peanuts him dey make? When was the last time 2face now known as 2Baba flaunted his wealth,but we all know that bruva is LOADED...abi Linda get money reach 2Baba? Me,for one and most of my friends and contacts hardly ever visit Linda's blog, most of our hang out discussions coz most times we argue on points raised on NL or discuss business threads posted here. I can't remember when last I visited that blog,its been years so I daresay this comparison is baseless. Somebody is just trying to be mischievous,trying to pit NL against Linda's blog. Both platforms are of two different divides abegiii!!! Imagine...a thread that was created 1:45pm has already stretched over 12 pages by 4:30pm and still counting...now talk about trending.[/b] 7 Likes |

I agree and disagree with certain points raised by the OP. The ones I agree with - Nairaland has mostly low income bracket users, this is a fact. The comments often reflect this. - Trivial topics make the front page, this is a growing problem. Nothing wrong in having fun/joke topics on the front page once in a while, but it shouldn't be as excessive as it is right now. The fact is, these trivial topics attract the most traffic, but they're mostly worthless traffic, people of worth hardly visit such threads. Besides NL has witnessed an influx of empty-headed teenagers who should be out playing with their friends (nothing wrong with being a teenager, after all some teenagers are vast in knowledge) this is particularly evident when you visit some threads/sections, lots of joke threads & comments, it's really a buzzkill What I disagree on - NL doesn't need to have a face to be successful, it's traffic speaks for itself. I'm sure not many of us know the owners of Whatsapp, Instagram, Twitter & the likes. Seun doesn't ... like Linda Ikeji so one can't expect him to market himself like a commodity, it won't work. His product has to bring him into the limelight, not the other way round. A blog & a forum are two different things, Linda Ikeji's blog is dedicated to celebrity gossip, just like Perez Hilton. It's mostly visited by women looking for the latest celebrity gossip or fashion trend, gossip sells. It's in no way comparable to NL where a wide variety of topics can be discussed. If there's a site where Nigeria's politicians can visit to gauge public perception of them, which do you think it'll be NL or Linda Ikeji? Does Linda make all her money from advertising alone? I don think so. In terms of potential, NL is miles ahead of Linda Ikeji's blog, NL has a wider reach far beyond Nigeria, while Linda's blog mostly a Nigerian thing. Seun needs to sit back, possibly hire an expert in the field who can help him re-model NL into something efficient, viable & capable of maximising its potential because I looked at NL statistics today & it's mind blowing, 20+ million unique visitors a month is crazy. Surely there must be a way to turn these crazy numbers into crazy money, he's just got to find the how. 4 Likes |

NAIRALAND! Touching lives... Its not all about the money and who says seun doesnt make as much money as linda, if not even more... Or perhaps he should go get himself a 2014 range rover sport too but insist on paying 100m instead of linda's 40m jst to show off, funny! The thing is They are both good at what they do, but one is busy showing off (c.ronaldo) and the other isn't (messi). I see no reason for the debate if u ask me. But i will choose nairaland over the other anyday anytime... The fun here is just on point!. 2 Likes |

No offense, but there are lots of truth to what the ad king said. Nairaland hasn't evolved much over the years, especially in terms of aesthetics. I've been a member since 2008 so I can attest to that. Plus Seun Osewa needs to seriously revamp his mod team. We don't want to see Toto Di<ke thread or other petty $hit on front-page every bleeding day!!! 1 Like |

What makes Nairaland unique is its simplicity and open democratization of ideas......... The owner of Nairaland I guess treasures principles more than profit, which is good in the long run...... Linda buys a car worth N24 million, so what? If that's how u measure success, then you are part of Nigeria's problem, where everything is all about money and less about values....  2 Likes |

op dull sha. so you had a discussion with just one person from an ad firm (out of the hundreds or thousands we have) and made your conclusion based on that? OLODO!!! also, nairaland has far more traffic than LIB and i can swear that anyone who visits LIB visits nairaland many times more, so the logic that LIB has more financially buoyant readers doesn't really hold true. let's forget the teenagers and youths that have an account on nairaland and post and comment silly things, there are some "underground" men of calibre that visits nairaland with or without an account. that said, i think you're very gullible because from the beginning, you said you were of the opinion that nairaland makes more money. so tomorrow when you have this same discussion with someone who patronizes nairaland, your opinion will automatically change again? to the moderators, This post on front page is bad for business, very vey bad!!! are you guys working for seun or against him? (una just do free advert for LIB so) you'd be surprised the nagative impact this could have on the forum. see people already complaining about the layout of nairaland  . i know it's not the best but it's very effective.2 Likes |

crisycent: It is easy to criticize "free things". The amount of knowledge you get from NL is priceless. Take the property section for example where you have professional builders showing you step by step process of constructing a house and why they choose a particular foundation instead of that with the public criticizing and the builders answering all the questions being asked. 1 billion likes 4 u 2 Likes |

This poster has said it all- nothing but the absolute truth!! When u visit nairaland often, u will notice that most of the regular users are young school leavers, fun-seekers, unemployed youths, and students who have no or less spending power. Now, how do u want an advertiser to advertise here when he/she knows he won't get the value for his/her advert investment  Seun needs to do more job, and his moderators too need to up their game. Nairaland has the potential of becoming the highest earned website in Africa if Seun sits up. I still believe nairaland will take its place soon. Linda's case though is beyond hard work, she just got favoured by God...everyone should pray to God for divine favours and that alone will put u above others. Again, what really placed Linda, nairaland, etc above other good bloggers is early positioning and the fact that Linda was already mingling with entertainment stakeholders b4 venturing into blogging, so she already knew them and they knew her, plus the woman factor  But then, Linda should always dance alingo and praise God daily because its not just by her hard work that she's making it big. But then, the wealth of information being shared here is also something to commend....but there seems to be more weirdos than well-to-dos, which scares most well-to-dos away, Seun take note |

Being to LIB twice, ran out becos of its focus on celebrities. But nl teaches, builds and changes your reasoning. And all those saying nl is full of job seekers, etc, can you tell us the type of people who visit LIB, facebook, twitter, etc. Btw, those calling nairalanders jobless, make una try upgrade the section wey una dey visit. When u are always on romance section viewing how to kiss a girl, your mates are in business, agric, auto, properties and other sections discussing projects worth millions. 3 Likes |

ketoprofen: Lmao! You honestly think spamming gazillion of ads on a page makes you more money, no? For the gazillion of ads on that blog, it's one page view regardless of the number of ads shown per page. How many top-earning websites have gazillion of ads on their homepage? Most don't even have any visible one - and most times when they do, it's probably just one or two. And nairaland isn't your typical forum, it's a news-portal with a lot of miscellaneous things meet forum - with more potentials than most forums. Let the traffic and the income it generates daily based on proven FACTS be the judge. Not some lousy claims by a duffer. You probably don't like Seun - and I'm not a big fan of the guy and his methods as well. However, you can't knock his hustle and be oblivious to facts, even when they're staring at you in the face. Er, a good comparison that will correlate with this one would be to compare huffingtonpost.com to bossip.com. Despite bossip.com having gazillion of ads on it, it will never make as much money as huffingtonpost with the 0 or 1 ad on it (huffingtonpost stopped being a blog time ago, it's a news portal now - while bossip is a blog). |

Cons 1. Nairaland seems to be losing steam while Linda Ikeji is gaining. 2. Nairaland's home page is archaic and looks like an internet wasteland. 3. Linda’s blog provides most of the same important topics as Nairaland. Actually, I won’t be surprised at the blog being the more original source of info. It seems people actually duplicate the topics on Linda’s blog on Nairaland. 4. All the tribal crap is a huge turn off. I used to love checking in on Nairaland but now, I first go to Linda’s blog, then to Sahara reporters, and then maybe Nairaland. 5. I rarely check any other page than the home page. If I can’t find anything worth reading then I occasionally check the politics section. Pros 1. Nairaland seems to be innovating more features. Recommendation 1. Hire a charismatic CEO. I know this is easier said than done especially in Africa. An Alternative may be to hire a PR/media person that will represent you at events. Either way, someone needs to be out there promoting your website. 2. Do not get embroiled in politics because you’ll end up alienating your some of your clients and posters. You are a business man trying to build Nairaland. Can you imagine if Mark Zuckerberg starts commenting on people’s political post and not being neutral? If you feel the need to participate, create a different moniker/alter ego and comment away. 3. Look at foreign forums that are successful and see if there’s a thing or two that you can learn from them. 8 Likes 1 Share |
