About a month ago, Seun Osewa,
founder of Nairaland said in a
Facebook update that, “if you’re a
programmer who loves to be
pampered, you should start updating
your CV because something is
happening in Sango Ota!”
My first thought was that Osewa was
about to set up a tech hub or
developer’s space in that city for
programmers to work out of just like
several hubs being created in Lagos
and elsewhere, and so I asked him to
fill me in with any information
regarding such, although he’s not
responded yet.
Today, Techloy learnt that Osewa is
finally setting up a — long overdue —
large office space in Ota, Ogun State,
after managing the largest online
forum in Africa for eight years with
over one million registered users,
attracting zero external funding, and
raking in millions of naira in
revenues.
We couldn’t wait to be invited to the
new Nairaland offices, so we’ve got a
sneak peek for you to see that it
offers a great working space for
programmers, each with an
ergonomic executive chair, a huge
desk with ample legroom, and a
lounge to nap or just chill out
with all-day air conditioning, thanks
to a 24-hour power generating set.
Osewa is now looking to hire about
five brilliant programmers this year to
help develop and maintain
Nairaland’s current and future
websites, who would likely be
working out of that space in Ota.
Nairaland’s revenues have reportedly
grown exponentially over the past
year following a new ad revenue
strategy for direct advertisers
introduced in October 2012 which
has enabled the online forum
regarded as the number one website
in Africa by Alexa (in terms of traffic)
to monetise hugely from its content
and audience.
With over 4 million unique visitors
and over 35 million page views
monthly, as at November 2012,
Nairaland founded in March 2005,
has become the leading source of
information and entertainment,
featuring news, sports, technology,
culture, politics, religion, career,
business, education and much more.
It is expected that the launch of its
new offices would create meaningful
employment for the unemployed
youth and further contribute to the
country’s economic growth.
