speedyboi: Seun's money is doubling, tripling...in bank . Kudos to you dude.



Media shy indeed. But its getting boring though; atleast let's see you on red carpet events once in a while. You are a celebrity...you know?




I know some id/iots will be saying its their collective efforts. Mtcheew, you can as well go to mark Zuckerburg and tell him the same. This, is the hardwork of a Man!

tzetzefly: While Alexa rankings have been criticised for its inaccuracy, it still remains the most popular tool to monitor a site’s traffic health in Africa and has been regarded as the web industry’s de facto public resource for information about website’s statistics.

Interestingly, Nairaland, which has been Nigeria’s most popular and visited website for several years, has now emerged the most visited website in Africa, according to Alexa.

Nairaland which claims to have over a million
registered users, over 4 million unique visitors and over 35 million page views monthly, as at November 2012 toppled South Africa-based 24- hour online news service, News24, owned by Naspers Group to become the number one most visited site in Africa.

Founded by media-shy Web entrepreneur, Seun Osewa as an online forum back in March 2005, Nairaland has grown to become a leading source of information and entertainment, featuring news, sports, technology, culture, politics, religion, career, business, education and much more.

[B]The site was rumoured to have been offered $1 million for an acquisition by Naspers/MIH Internet Africa back in 2010, but Osewa reportedly rejected the offer[/B].

ZACHIE: But for the GARRI team, where will nailraland be today?
thank you, GARRILANDERS,

wonlasewonimi: How come seun is still skinny like agama lizard?

12 inches!:
I really believe NL is a great site but seun needs to work a little harder. I have been using NL since 2005 and NL has sure come a long way. Seun Osewa deserves a standing ovation.

My recommendations are as follows:
1. Seun should stop being media shy. You run a site that has the potential of generating millions in revenues. The users want to know u. Your story. How it started. Your Bio etc. Look at Linda Ikeji. When did she start? Her site isn't as good as yours. You need to be more professional. Let the corporate world know what you have. Over 1 million members. Countless number of visitors. That is VERY marketable.
2. You need to monetize the site. I'm not talking abt this ur new advert scheme. What stops etisalat from advertising on here or MTN or even GTB. Beat FM. TM lewin etc. You need to expand ur horizons. Get a advertisement consultant. Sort for adverts. You'll be glad u did.
3. You need to create mobile apps for Nairaland urgently. First with Blackberry (most nigerians choice), android, Windows phone and IOS. One problem I av with NL is getting notifications when a thread I'm following or I commented on has been replied to. Or when I have been quoted. An app that has push content will solve that.
Goodluck!!!

antontech: I have learnt so soo much here.it deserves it

Gabbysky:

Seun's identity would soon become a priced brand bet me, u can ask Lagbaja.
Keep off the media my guy and very soon, someone will be offering 10 million dollars just to post ur pix in his mag

I just like this guy's style, I tell ya!
