[s] IdioticNLmods:[/s] What fact are you sharing, is Seun the separationist promoting tribalism ? Do you know how many handles they have taken down just to ensure that sane people can relate on the Nairaland space. Ramifically speaking, we are the problem and not the founders of Nairaland or Nigeria. Let us all do what is right and shun all forms of evil. Thanks.

Let's add more people. Here are some (I just copied from Wikipedia): Mark Essien is a Nigerian entrepreneur, software developer and startup investor. He is the founder and CEO of Hotels.ng, one of the first and most successful online hotel booking websites in Nigeria. In 2013, he founded Hotels.ng.

In 2015 Mark made the Forbes list of 30 youngest entrepreneurs in Africa. He has also been nominated for the Nigeria Future awards amongst others.[11]Before founding Hotels.ng, Mark Essien had previously built a file sharing software called Gnumm (acquired by Snoopstar.com), followed by a language learning startup called Ingolingo. - Wikipedia Tayo Oviosu - Founder of Paga, a Nigerian mobile payments company that allows users to send money, pay bills and receive payments easily from any mobile phone.

IdioticNLmods: His forum doesn't fuel anything, it's the people on the forum that do that... Same thing they do on Facebook, Google, and Instagram. Social Media is a global market for the good, bad and ugly... however, this forum is long overdue for an upgrade. |
Re: Nigerian Entrepreneurs Who Are Doing Nigeria And Africa Proud by windhunter(m): 3:03pm On Aug 29, 2019 |
IdioticNLmods: You are very wrong to have said this. The hate comments you see here are a reflection of who Nigerians are as a people or are you going to say Facebook too is a disgrace to the global community? Nigerians post hate comments on Nigerian Facebook groups the same way they do on nairaland. |

Re: Nigerian Entrepreneurs Who Are Doing Nigeria And Africa Proud by Nobody: 3:11pm On Aug 29, 2019 |
It would be nice is Seun shared photos. Always good to see organic growth of a business. |
Re: Nigerian Entrepreneurs Who Are Doing Nigeria And Africa Proud by Kaybex007(m): 3:16pm On Aug 29, 2019 |
I beg just leave these guys alone to run their business without fear ooooooo. Because the moment you allow their names to over ring what you will hear is FBI is looking for them. That was how Forbes published invictus Obi and he was happy with it saying he is the writer of his own fate, and before you knew it, FBI collected the biro from him and started rewriting his fate for him without his conscent. |

Good one |
Re: Nigerian Entrepreneurs Who Are Doing Nigeria And Africa Proud by nextstep(m): 3:41pm On Aug 29, 2019 |
Kaybex007: I hear what you're saying But then again, if they are not doing legit business and we uncover them, is that not a good thing? There are lots of people doing legit, so they should have no fear. In fact, it will boost their image, attract more investment and success to them, and also undo some of the damage from bad eggs. 2 Likes |

IdioticNLmods:Well said, my friend. You just took it out of my mouth. But to add to what you have said, not only is his business(nairaland) a playground for tribalists, I believe he is also a conc. tribalist himself. I can't believe the amount of hate that goes on here unchecked. The foo.l ought to be ashamed of himself for building an albatross such as this and then assemble a bunch of never-do-wells as moderators. If it were in a saner clime, shit hole like nairaland ought to have been dumped in a digital trash can. Nairaland is a place where everything anti-national unity thrives. A junkyard for hate speech. Woe unto that fellow! Nonesense! 2 Likes |
