It takes lot of hardwork before being able to contact Seun Osewa to have this interview.

It will surely motivate you not to stop your project or abandon it.

Thanks for joining us Seun!
Thanks.

Thanks Seun. It is our pleasure and honour to have you on. Let’s start with the origins of the site.
When did you start the Nairaland Forum?

I installed the Simplemachines Forum on the 10th of March, 2005, and opened Nairaland to the public on the 25th of March, 2005 after working on it for about two weeks.
That’s about 14 months after Mark Zuckerberg launched TheFacebook.com.

Interesting…Why did you choose to start Nairaland?
About 2 years earlier I had attempted to start a web hosting business, but after 3 months I could only boast of one customer, so I ran out of capital and the business died. It would probably have succeeded if I had managed my capital more wisely or raised more money as I got many hosting requests I couldn’t satisfy later that year.
