Seun Osewa, the Founder of Nairaland needs to be awarded with a lifetime achievement award in the Nigerian Tech Space

Nairaland, arguably Africa’s largest forum is an online community that is ranked among the best public forum in African ranking and boasts of about 2.384 million registered users and about as much or perhaps more unregistered users. It was created in March 2005 by Seun Osewa who runs the site till date.

Seun Osewa is a Nigerian in his thirties who resides in Ota, Ogun state Nigeria.

Like almost every young Nigerian, Seun aspired to be his own boss but unlike most young Nigerians, he never backed out even after hammerings of frustrating magnitudes. Judging from the movie, ‘The Social Network’, Mark Zuckerberg may have had an almost rosy journey to entrepreneurship, but not Seun.

Nairaland was neither the first nor second project embarked upon by Seun, but he never stopped until he got it right.

Seun stands above most Nigerian big-shot site owners in so many ways, but one of which struck me is his online presence and personality. Despite the increasing success of Nairaland, Seun has continued to give customer satisfaction the greatest priority.

2.384 million Persons can comfortably constitute a country and Seun runs a site with that number of persons ­­­­­­(I will like to know how that feels). Despite the numbers, Seun continues to strike every person fortunate enough to cross his path as a down-to-earth young man.

Seun through Nairaland has provided a portal which in turn has provided jobs for a huge number of Nigerians. A friend of mine described Nairaland as the largest supermarket in Nigeria and perhaps Africa. I agree. Cars are being bought and sold on Nairaland, real estate and other properties too. Business deals are being brokered every day, (I had my first business meeting through Nairaland).

On jobs, Seun’s words on marble are timeless. “I always tell job seekers to create their own jobs, because nobody owes them a job.” He says.

The literature section is filled with potential Nobel laureates and I even noticed a new scholarship scheme too. All this and I still can’t begin to highlight all that the site does. And to think that all these was made possible because one man dropped out of school is just magical. I have no apt words to describe the man; still I would say he is a gallant African that deserves every accolade.

The politics section gives minute by minute happenings in the politicking in Nigeria, Africa and the world at large. Seun is truly a tech superhero
