Fellow Nairalanders,

I'm pleased to wish you a Happy New Year!!

2024 will be the year of Nairaland's resurgence. I will face Nairaland squarely like I used to before the discouraging Data Loss Incident of 2014. I will hire more hands to help us to improve Nairaland.

The problems of Nairaland that we should have solved years ago will be solved.

* We will defeat tribalists, trolls, & spammers.
* We will complete our advertising platform.
* We will improve the UI and UX.
* Home page topics will be educative & fresh.
* We will reverse the anti-women trends.

However, I must warn you that things will get worse before they get better. Please stand with us and fight for us as Nairaland faces the tough challenges of 2024, which have already started.

Happy New Year and thanks for using Nairaland!

Seun Osewa,
Nairaland's Founder.

Happy New Year Bro... keep up the Good work


God bless Nairaland!!!

Seun we should be able to link our social media to our account. And use a phone number for verification so if the system blocks your account it also blocks the phone number attached.

Give us the ability to block and dislike a moniker

Too many tribal and religious war here. Please fix asap.

Also under age is increasing here. Dont let your forum die like 2go.

Redirects and fake links etc

Yes, i agree. Seun please act as this person said,it's very important. Also, increase the number of followers one could have or could follow. Also giving verification badge to certain users with lot of followers would bring more fun. I joined Nairaland because of Explorers,Techcapon,Autojosh.

We await your step, which I hope will not only favour you, but other dedicated Nairalander.

Will you also tackle the rampant vitriolic misogyny on here? Thanks

Big lamba,you say this every year,you that doesn't listen to users feedback

ROFLMAO.

Happy New Year Mr Seun Osewa.

Glad you see things this way now.

Wishing Nairaland the best of the best.

Seun I think phone numbers should be use for registration instead of email.

Anyone remember what was promised last year?

It would help us gauge how hopeful we should be this year.

Compliments of the season, bro! Please, give us a block button. Thank you.

Yes!

This is a step at controlling things.

If Seun truly wants to start the cleansing thats the first step.

A001:

Compliments of the season, bro! Please, give us a block button. Thank you.

LoL.
If only you were ready to change a thing.

Nairaland is a 2 billion naira worth at the minimum of venture if seun decides to take it seriously

Seun still runs this as a side project from his "cubicle" in sango-ota .

Knowing Seun to be an introvert who doesn't like the spot light or want to be popular just as myself, if I were him

I will

Run Nairaland as a business' by

1. Opening a physical office space in Lagos, Abuja, Sango-ota as HQ

2. Employ a CEO to run it while I continue to serve as founder and CTO

3. Employ a full team of engineers, UX front end designers, marketers

Phase 1
Manage

1. Front page should be very current with update as it happens, ( I see a news/even on instablog and see it days after on the frontpage), alot of people only visit the front page, so it must be regularly updated and of high quality

2. limit posting to some section for new accounts, like have some way you rank accounts, new account should have a 3 month sandbox restriction.

3. make it impossible to register multiple accounts from the same device,

4. Use text verification and real email ( no temp mails) for registration

5. Moderation : Each section should have atleast 2 mod and very active section 3 with 1 supermod.

6. Tribalism and hate speech should attract ban, device ban, email ban ,phone number ban if possible an IP ban after two warnings

Device fingerprinting profiling is pretty easy this days, People will behave and cherish their account when they know once their device is banned, it will be almost impossible to create new ones except they keep buying new phones and new sims





Phase 2

Build

Implement new feature,

One of the allure of Nairaland is it simplistic UI and fast loading time

That doesn't need to change but it can be better,

1. Add Night mode, this will switch the background to black which is easy on the eyes at night, users can toggle on off

2. Add a bit of self moderation by adding a dislike button (when a comment has so many disikes, a moderator manually access if it should be hidden, users can still view the comment if clicked

3. An email system should be designed, communication stays on nairaland instead of third part email (all nairaland user get a user@nairaland.com email after 6 months of active usage provided the haven't been banned more than thrice,.

4. Build a robust ad management system, from creation, funding , moderation,

5.make it easy to share, the share button can be linked to whatsapp, fb, tiktok, IG, (if they choose)so when someone clicks on share they can also share outside the platform
a short url like naira.land(a business savvy person will buy this domain and sell it to Seun when he wakes up for 10m)will also make sharing easy

6. native ios/app with great push feature

7. Nigeria influence across africa can not be overstated, Though other africans hate to love us but the do, thanks to Afrobeat/nollywood. USe this clout by adding some other Africa countries section based on data and traffic from those countries , I know we have quite a number of southafricans here already , a lady with the moniker samantha something can be the mod for the south african sub section, I don't know if Rokiatu is still here, i think she is from Liberia or so, she can be mod for other west African countries


8. The Tech market, Auto(just Gauzzuz alone is making a killing here with 0# ad spend), Property business sections are cash cows, deals worth millions of naira are done on these sections monthly. Create a Escrow system with 1% Process fee

The potential to scale is just limitless. NL could be the largest Africans/blacks community on the planet



maybe more later if I think of more but these will increase traffic(currently <30million Monthly according to similarweb ) by atleast 30% within 9.5 month(Did the math)
