hello fellow nairalanders,
One of our firm's clients wants to buy Nairaland and we need information to make the management buyout possible. The entire nairaland forum fits into their existing business . If you are in charge of making the management decisions about possible sales and acquisitions, we need you to write our firm in utmost secrecy at dma_recruiting@yahoo.com. please do not send enquiries if you are not in charge of such decisions. A bid would be put together and forwarded to the management personnel in charge of such decisions and it would be seen as a contravention of federal laws if you make an offer for sale especially if you do not possess the legal powers to make an acceptance of our clients prospective offer. Fraudulent responses and acceptance would be tracked, monitored and litgation could ensue. It is dangerous to respond to this offer without the proper legal and constitutional powers to back up such an acceptance. Please be warned.

You guys seem to be proper assholes, i hope Seun never sells to the likes of you!

In the intellectual propery market, trust does not exist. What exists is offer and acceptance and the ability to enforce contracts with the right parties involved. An offer will be made to purchase this forum and also to overhaul it. Our clients have the media resources to promote this forum with outdoor and out of home advertising which means they literarily can give a face to this forum outside the internet. For any individual to label their offer in improper terms shows an inadequate understanding of the nature and potential of what this forum can become under a new visioneer. The new nairaland will exist, this post appears as a matter of formality. Thanks DMA

and why would you wanna buy the site when you can start your own and do better?
you need to wake up my guy.
start from somewhere,
then you can acquire more based on your perfomance

Dear friend,
think about these stats: 247,509 members, 146,474 topics as at 12:06 pm wed 8 oct 2008. Now hold that thought and imagine this growth:
25 million members across the African continent and all posts possible in all langauages, that is the nairaland we see. From start up to getting more members is an extremely lenghthy process and our clients will not saddle themseves with that unnecesary difficulty. The startegic way of business growth is buying out key components: a production facility here, a marketing company there, a magazine publication her and the likes, in the case of nairaland, what we are buying is a the audience and the track record, especially since our most likely projections of online nigeria community is due to hit a critical mass of 10 million nigerians by 31st december 2009. If this explanations do not convince you , then nothing will. Nairaland fits into our clients core business since they are buying an audience, NOT the forum. The forum exists as just the meeting point. DMA

Interesting
