Dear Seun

First of all I want to thank you for providing a great platform as Nairaland, it has been a source good for many from cross fertilization of ideas, mind rubbing on a myriad of issues, business and job opportunities and so much more.

I truly admire you for your efforts to create also a technically fluid platform.

In your hands lie a great tool to bring about more positive change than ever. With more power come great responsibility. Please always remember this.

What has caught my attention recently is that the Nairaland I joined several years back and the Nairaland of today is markedly different in terms of the contents which you must review and fast.

No decent person will like to come to a forum for positive interaction or to get information and find littered empty and mundane topics as what some celebrity wore or that another pyschologically imbalanced girl has decided to share her nude pictures.

Gone are those days were educative and informative posts make front pages, our political section is inundated with bigotry.... terms like afonja, Igbos, brown roof, zombies. Name checking to shame other tribes are ample evidence to the sad reality that our Nairaland has become a cesspit for hate and divisiveness even among young people who should change the tragic narrative of the generation before us.

Nairaland has degenerated to place where untiillegent, uncouth, indecent,and base posts are made by the second. This posts keeps on reducing our sense of aptitude the more as a community of Africans.

You just have to go to quora and see the quality of posts being made there, what is stopping Nairaland from having same?

True, Nairaland maybe very economically viable for you, but I believe it is time to intentionally remake Nairaland to something you can look back and be fulfilled because it has become a rallying point, a vehicle, a catalyst for changing direction of people's thinking and orientation.

As the founder of Nairaland you have automatically become a leader of the next generation,. A Trendsetter, an influencer and ultimately a game changer but be very intentional with this tool which Providence has placed in your hands.

The need to expand your vision for Nairaland is more urgent than ever.

With an expanded vision and a team of collaborators you will be able to take Nairaland from where it is to where it could be.

Recommendations
1. Zero tolerance for bigotry outright life ban
2. Run campaign against bigotry, tribalistic comments, religious tolerance.
3. Run campaigns that promote national building, entrepreneurship
4. Indecent posts and base posts must be penalised heavily so that people can use their brains better.
5. Scrap the sexuality section. It is a cesspit.
6. After the likes and share feature you havent added .more stuff. Facebook always innovates this enriching the experience please you can do more

I am ever ready to support in any way I can


Warm Regards

I used to believe in one Nigeria not untill I found Nairaland. Nairaland is a big threat to Nigeria's Peace. It plays a huge role in dividing Nigerians.

Y do I not really agree with this?
Different strokes for different folks. Nairaland is great today because it has accommodated all. Change and growth is inevitable. Pls, when u don't like something, ignore it and don't enforce ur wish on everyone.
Many pple r here just because of the stuffs u complained abt and don't want to see. Can't we all just stick to Wot we love on Nairaland and enjoy it all together?
Seun, u had better ignore this. The forum is d best place to be right now. U can never satisfy everyone.

You just said my mind.

We need to keep Nairaland and Nairalanders focused.
You can look for sexuality talk elsewhere.

Our country needs us to change it. Our minds is the invaluable resource and must be used well

If you don't like nairaland like this...go and create your own forum..
