Hello everyone,
I've been brain stroming lately and thought of the possibility of Nairaland becoming the 1st Forum in Africa to be listed in the stock market.

Do you see it coming in the nearest future and in what way would it affect the way we view online business in Nigeria?

will be a jackpot in the near future...I'm willing to be a shareholder though!

misleading topic

hmmm.

appleton: Do you see it coming in the nearest future?

That is up to the owner to decide. Personally though, NL has the prospects but it isn't ripe yet.

Nothing is impossible but realistically, Nairaland still has a long way to go. To be successfully listed on the floor of the Nigerian Stock Exchange, Nairaland will need to go through a series of financing to meet up the minimum valuation to get listed and this process ain't beans.

It would be a wise thing for Seun to do. But there's a lot involved.This is just one of several ways Seun can monitize this forum.

Facebook owner did it. Nairaland should learn from such.

No! It should remain fully Yoruba owned

The income generating capabilities is not up to that level

For where? With all these first to comment poo?

Not a bad idea, but I don't see that coming anytime soon...

BTW, a lot have to be considered, some modifications and branding where applicable, and that's not gonna happen just one night.

Yes

DO MANY NL KNOW WHAT STOCK EXCHANGE IS ALL ABOUT?

[b]Nairaland being listed in the NSE is an illusion. How much is Nairaland worth? At most 2 million dollars. Compare this with blogs and sites like Pinterest, Mashable, the Daily Beast and forums like Yahoo and Answers.com and you will see that Nairaland is way behind and still has a long way to go.

Nairaland in its present state is in need of serious investment. I don't think that Seun is doing enough to promote it to a global brand. I think he is pretty comfortable running the site from his bedroom while others are busy writing business proposals and obtain loans for expansion.

How many unique visitors can Nairaland boast of in a month? Is it up to a million? How many members does Nairaland have? Just over 1.1 million I guess. A typical Nairalander (me inclusive) has 3 or 4 accounts alone ("if you ban me today I will open another account tomorrow syndrome". I for one have 6 accounts - 3 dormant and 3 active. When you divide the 1.1 million by four you will be getting something like 300, 000. Now subtract those that make use of their accounts once in a year and the figure falls to somewhere around 150-200k. This is in a country that has more than 40 million internet users.

You can see that the figures are not as impressive as they sound. So my advice to Seun is to buckle up. [/b]

OP are you sure you know what you are saying?
I think there's a point you have to reach financially before you can think of that!

Jokers. Smh

only if seun can declare the income or profit to the Nairalanders.then we can now predict the future of Nairaland

I personally dont think NL is due for that at this point, it needs to evolve even further.

Listed on the floor of the Nigerian Stock Exchange!!! It is already on my Facebook wall and even my bedroom walls nd door..
Though on a serious note, it is up to Oga Seun nd he has a lot to do before Nairaland can be said to be ready.[/b][b]
