Nice one.

Congrates NL

Bad bele people make una look bush,if e pain una make una go create koboland. Ekpan flies like una .seun you try, but you can do better.

Hope Nairaland won't ask us to pay for membership soon. Imagine trying to log in and ur asked to chose a payment option first.

Seun just needs to get rid of those mods, especially that female loving one.

ditching google ads is a bold move. there is no telling how much leverage you can exert controlling ads - you are essentially a media company now. congrats seun

Watch out for abujafood.com in 2014!

especially maclatunji. He should be sent to central mosque abuja.
Congrats Oluwaseun Osewa.

Yes we made It.
I would like to compliment all my honourable moderators.
Long live Nairaland.
Long live Nigeria.
Long live Ignis.

Oga Seun, congrats ooooooo. I hope you will share some 'REVENUE' with us 'your' Nairaland users soon.

I don't think there is any thing to watch for about nairaland as it will always fall below expectation due to the shortsightedness and greediness of the owner.

Nairaland wasn't mentioned as Tech startups to watch in 2013 in this article, it was only mentioned for Commercialization!!

@Seun

I have only one word for you and some people that dont understand the value of NL: a55holes
So untill Forbes and other oyibo media raise ur hand, u no go fit raise ur own hand abi?

I guess now u will understand why I was so bitter about your forum not being used instead of Twitter during GEJ's presidential debate
https://www.nairaland.com/1107383/seun-reno-wtf-why-twitter

We really need to stop waiting for commendation from oyibo, before we start appreciating what we have
It is killing our innovation, adoption and adaption of technology

a55holes

It is always nice when an effort is appreciated and even more impreSsive is NL's longevity. However NL can be bigger than it is presntly. Been using NL since 2005'n its been a slow growth compared to what we see everyday around. At the end of the day I guess Seun is just a contented kind of guy. Not in a hurry for the big time.

trix!:

That should have been only way forward for nairaland for a long time but greediness will not allow them to do the right thing, there is a limit to where a one man company can go without external aid. Other start-ups are already cornering the options nairaland should have gone by focusing on one sector like irokotv, jumia, dealfish and more.

Nairaland should have been a platform for so many start-up to spring out from but look at what it is today.

Good one

The truth about this might be that the guy @ Iroktv who also owns kuluya.com probably liases with Mfonobong to write great reviews about him. Look at all the forbes review about African IT stuff. It's all by the same person (mfonobong) and similar content with the Iroktv company.

a few months ago, i campaigned for changes, rather than the common gossip blogs circulating on the common nigerian websites...things are getting boring and really don't see the nairaland excitement anymore. Yes, nairaland needs an app now. and probably a transformed UI. i dont know what can be changed to achieve that, but this i do know...you guys need apps now, for relevance sake.

Pharoh: I don't think there is any thing to watch for about nairaland as it will always fall below expectation due to the shortsightedness and greediness of the owner.

Haters please get behind me. What have you acheived in life? Who knows you?
Am just allergic to haters.

This is the Nigerian dream

Congrats Seun..
This calls for celebration

Best wishes Seun

I observed sumthing, irokotv and nairaland depended on google for some aspect of their business, but later abandoned such to start independent. This shows i need you to achieve my aim and if i can do to sum extent wit out you, i might opt out *thinking out loud*

If nairaland is a startup then facebook is a startup too.
The title is misleading..smh

At what point exactly did nairaland become a startup?

seedord247: This shows that you can be whatever you wanna be no matter your family background.....

Pls tell us Seun's background

akintun: Majority of d ratings on Forbes, with regard to African is done by an individual called mfonobong nsehe. All his ratings are not official Forbes ratings. He is a contributor to Forbes. I only know of one official Africa ratings, and dat is d 40 richest people in Africa.

He's rather controversial, it seems.

Great job seun. Howeva, the character of d letters is too small on my BB, so I have to zoom and zoom each time. So get different applications for diffent phones as many have said. And also improve d quality of ur moderators. They are doing a grt job as well. But their is still room for improvement. Training and retraining. Finally, there is need for specialization. You can't do all. Focus more a few areas and let other naijarians do the others in order for you to be effective and produce quality service. Best of luck.

Those mods would be the end for nairaland. Some ban for simply viewing a thread. Some users have lost interest after opening several alternate accounts and having those ones banned too.

Thank you for giving us a board to spring from.
