miqos02: neither was LIB buolt from scratchAnd your point is Fact is that a blog gets way more high ticket ads than a full website forum with traffic that is more than 10times the one that goes to the blog.....if that does not tell you something then you will never know anything. The fact they can be compared shows that NL is still playing lower league and news to up its game.... it is all useless crowd and no substance. I would rather have a community of very upward and vibrant viewers with the wherewithal to translate their numbers to cash than the useless and jobless crowd that visit NL. 3 Likes 1 Share |

The thing is that both Linda Ikeji's blog and Nairaland target a different sort of demographic. Therefore OP your comparison is a bit flawed |

Megaphone: I was talking to a ceo of a huge advertising agency on the island, and i told him i do not believe linda bought that car for 24 million naira in cash. How come she makes so much money? I told him about a site called nairaland and he laughed. He said his agency had patronized linda to te tune of about 5m in cash, and he hasn't even bought any space on nairaland. i asked why..

rhymz:Ok Mr! Just one simple question. What have you started yourself? Because honestly I don't see what your point is. Its almost like you are taking a painkiller for someone else's pain. By the way, just how do you know that Pat Utomi is not a member of Nairalnad. What Seun does with his site is his business. And besides Bellanaija, Lindaikeji and co do not compare with NL. NL is a forum. The rest are Blogs. And blogs are personal. A forum is a community. You will be one of the first to leave if NL becomes peppered with adverts. And hey, simply because Seun hasn't flashed a Lamborghini or a Koenigsegg before the whole world like Linda has doesn't mean he is not earning revenues from NL. For all we know, Seun might have a mansion from the proceeds of NL but did not make noise about it. That's his way. That's what he wants. Infact if it irks you so much why not just go start your own and leave Seun to manage his business. As far as I am concerned, NL is fine by me. Its a powerful tool if you know how to use it right and I have NL to thank for the successes of some of my businesses. That is how you define value addition. Unlike some Linda's who only know how to gossip but really doesn't add any tangible value to me. PS: Linda! No vex oooooooo!!! Nuff respect to you!! I think you are too much. Its just all these noise makers here that has made me say all that. I respect your work. Infact I am a fan of your successes. Although I dont visit your blogs that much, but I dont hesitate to make reference to you when I'm talking about blogging icons in Nigeria. One love durrrling! Nothing do you!!! 1 Like |

I think a lot of people are way off tangent .... There is no basis for comparison between Seun and Linda, and their respective social media platforms! Seun from what i have seen and heard is not in this for the commercial reasons....... He comes across like a fella who is content with the reason why this forum was built in the first place. Most of the comparisons been bandied about here are baseless and senseless! 2 Likes |

Advertisers do not know sh.it about conversions and ad targeting. I would choose advertising with nairaland over LIB anyday, anytime. Its logical The Op says high income earners are in LIB while low income earners in nairaland... That's the most stupid and disgusting assertion i have heard all year. Its like saying Facebook has low income earners and Google has high income earners or vice versa. Now Nairaland has a wide range of people who visit the website daily and consistently. Same with LIB. As a logical and smart entrepreneur, I wouldn't advertise with LIB if i were a corporate body, sell high value goods and so on. Why? The blog is to me, a 'girlie' blog. Girls visit often, Clothes, make-up, jewelries should be advertised there. Fashionable items and the rest. That's the audience. But in nairaland, Linda Ikeji blog is like the Entertainment section. Nairaland cuts across so many topics and areas. As an advertiser i would enjoy the benefits of targetting. If i am a travel agency, I will target my nairaland ads to the travel section for more conversions, Or i sell cars I will simply target the Automobile or Car Talk section. And my dear NLanders, That is what Facebook has over google. Targeting. Showing your ads to the people that it means most to. Also nairaland ads, compared to the traffic it gets, is way cheaper than LIB. I once wanted to see the ad rates for LIB and i sent a mail, I was replied with a pdf copy of their ad rates. I was simply astonished. It was way too expensive. So what will i benefit from her? I will probably get clicks that are not worth it. The design of the blog alone is just distasteful. She was just lucky and of course hardworking to reach the stage where she is today. A full time business man or a sensible bank worker or a worker in a corporate organistation will find nairaland more intriguing and interactive than LIB by far. nairaland is engaging. People speak, People ake reviews, they get influenced by what people think before being confident in making a buy. But in LIB, She solely endorses a product, the comments on her blog post are thrash... Sure, Seun needs to do enough work on nairaland. Common, its been way too long the website is like this. The only new things you have added are share buttons(which are crap by the way) and the logout(all) features. Nairaland is the number one site in nigeria, it needs to be more interactive, beautiful and at the same time responsive. Also as some others might hae rightly pointed out, you need to be more social. If i see you on the street, I will DEFINITELY walk past you. Most people do not know you. You can start out by organising a nairaland get-together or something. Have the TV cover the event, Start doing interviews. You really do need a good PA and a marketing manager/strategist so you can attract the top guns to come advertise with you. Also loosen up a bit on your ad policy. This is my take on the issue as a whole. Thank you. 2 Likes |

slimmy05: Seun's office is in a remote village close to where thousands of low income earners live. Linda rolls on the island where the high income earners live. There are alot of difference between Linda and Seun. Nairaland was poorly designed, but its contents are rich. We can't overule design and graphics as one that attracts. |

Greeting from the Special One Krumbaga! The Special One has asked me to comment on his behalf; the Special One says he would like to add his voice to this discourse. The Special One regrets why such an inept comparism would be made between Mr Seun and Linda Ikeji knowning fully well that both operate from different grounds. These are his premises: 1. The Special one in his wisdom (which transcends reason) says the OP of this post looks naive, he also apologises if he has provoked some thoughts. why would the OP say Nairaland looks idiotic on the desktop? The Special One says that to him, nairaland is "highly optimised"; nairaland is serving the exact purpose for which it was created, to disseminate knowledge through discourses. The Special One believes that Mr Seun has a reason why he has not decided to modify the apperance of the forum. Nairaland is highly accessible by both the rich and the poor network connection, this forum loads very fast even with the poorest network. I, on my part have tried it via recursive DNS tunnelling and to my surprise, it was if I was browsing via a TCP connection. 2. Saying that it chases away potential customers, the Special One believes the OP erred there. This forum is accessed by intellectual/ higher animals and as such, one searching for knowledge would go any length to obtain it. Knowledge gotten by reason (a source of knowledge) has no bounds; it can permeate anything and crosses all boundaries. 3. The Special One totally disagrees that nairaland has low income earners than high income earners. I'm pretty sure that even top business executives and top govenment functionaires do visit nairaland than Linda's blog. Nairaland is a forum that has helped a lot of people in terms of job vacancies, health, education, technology if you look all these you will see that they are vital in the growth of the nation. I, the writer was able to do my importation from USA standalone, without any help, but nairaland.com. I don't think there is anything like linda's blog in my diary. Pleas who is she? Do you know the number of people that have gained employment through nairaland forum? the number of people whose businesses have been transformed through nairaland.com? the number of people whose health issues have been solved through nairaland? and much more? The Special One also doesn't know who is Linda Ikeja, perhaps she is a musician or artiste, because they are the kind of people who make such noise (I call it noise because the frequency is not rhythmic), because she bought a RangeRover Sports the whole world must know. Mr Seun (Oga at the top) is not like that; he's much more than that. I think I've read that Mr Seun has a lot of expensive pets, even a Tibetan Mastiff (I'm not too Sure) 4. Saying nairaland.com is full of scammers, I don't concur to that . I call such a statment fallacious (inductive reasoning). Mind you, you can't expect an ideal system, what is feasible is a real system with least imperfections. we are all striving to be perfect, meaning that we try to eliminate/reduce our imperfections. Nairaland.com, to the Special One, Krumbaga is highly geninue; there are lots of positive testimonies attested to nairaland.com than the negative ones. 5. Nairaland has no face. Some school of thoughts, the Special One ascribes to this, says: "if you want to hide anything from a blackman, hide it in the book; the blackman doesn't read". What face else do you need than the forum itself, which is light and easily accessible by even the magical wand. Even if we divert attention to their personalities, Mr Seun ranks LIGHT YEARS ahead of Linda. The Special One jokingly said:"Linda is a sub set of Seun" what I could interpet from the Special One statement is Linda might be popular among her folks (who some people call gossipers), but overall, Mr Seun is more Popular. I can categorically tell you it is nairaland.com that old mamas (mummy), daddy access not Linda's blog. I know of a woman who prefers accessing nairaland to get the latest happenings in the country and world at large than visiting online dalies. 6. The Special One would want to say a million thanks to Mr. Seun for his visionary work in setting up nairaland.com, nairaland has soared against all odds. Mr Seun is a good man that has the people at heart. Moderate advert rates that could suit the nano, micro, small, medium and large scale enterprises; fast load page and very high intellectual content. It was at nairaland.com I got to know about black holes which I'm even still searching to get more understanding about it. Mind you, If Mr Seun were to maximize nairaland.com for financial benefits, Linda would have been no where to catch him (that is if Linda is ahead of Mr Seun). He got the traffic which has even been helping baby bloggers who are fond of stuffing posts with hyperlinks, he got the ranking and low bounce rate. NOTE: Differences between Nairaland and Linda's blog. For those that might be asked the question in their exams. 1. Nairaland is a forum while Linda's is a blog. 2. According to Alexa.com ( a reputable web ranking firm), nairaland is the #920 in a world of over 1 billion websites and #7 in Nigeria while Linda's world ranking should be nothing below #2000 and #11 in Nigeria. 3. nairaland is hosted and paid for by Mr Seen while Linda enjoys a free host by blogger. 4. Nairaland spends more time and resources (intellectual, money) to maintain our servers and prevent them from hackers while Linda spends less or nothing at all on maintenance. 5.Mr Seun is a Scientist and inventor while Linda is a blogger. 6. you could add yours The Special One has some reservations: -He thinks the mods need more discipline, there are some topics that are not supposed to make front page. -he thinks Mr Seen should consider about having not only an e-face, but a legal face that could stand for and against litigations in the court of law; It's high time nairaland got incorporated and our office reopened to keep Linda's e-dogs sleeping. Long LIve Mr Seun Long Live Nairaland.com Long Live the Special One Krumbaga Thanks. Viktor SA to Krumbaga 3 Likes |

The most annoying thing about Linda's blog is that she is selective about comments that she posts. If you say something she doesn't fancy, even if it's not offensive in any way, she won't post it as long as she doesn't like it! She's biased and it's not ok... Nothing compares with the freedom I enjoy here, I can post a comment and go back to edit it. I don't even have to wait to see the work of my hand.... Boom! It's published. Lol I don't even know how you can compare the quality of people who visit NL. You read about real life and pressing issues and you learn from genuine comments from intelligent people, not just "Anonymous" talkatives as in LIB. Granted, there're serious people who visit her blog and slowpokes on NL but you can't compare the 2! |

Sometimes, when I see topics like this, it makes me laugh and it shows how wrong our perceptions can be. For your information, I am a member of both LIB and NL and from what I have noticed, Linda tries to create a celebrity status around herself, because those are the people she deals with; hence the show off. Seun, on the other hand is more of an investor, both in intellectual property and humanitarian services. On the issue of wealth, you are wrong; Linda Ikeji is not richer than Seun; she buys more liabilities while Seun invests more, but in terms of net worth, Seun is richer. From the business perspective, no foreign investor will ever make the trade-off of LIB over NL because NL has more patronage, more organised as a business and covers more distinct areas than LIB, hence a better source of traffic. From the little I know of the watsapp purchase, even when there were more flashier apps, the real value of Seun Osewa is in the price he can get if he were to sell NL, which I believe will more than triple LIB, hence Seun is richer; it is not about the cash but about the assets. |
