Not like Seun cares anyway but I'll be gladdened if I can find a forum not tribalistic and mature ...like nairaland used to be in 08- 14/2015

Advice :if you want to have rest of mind , please stay off the news, news ads (Phoenix) . trust me it helps .

I think we need a platform that rewards it's members no matter how small the reward...
Like the platform should create it's own coin to reward users for comments, likes and share...
It will make sense...
This is 20th century guys we need to develope beyond IT slavery

A better forum will emerge one day. Sooner than later, one that will bury this Sharialand forever.

starbuck:
Honestly, I have been nursing the idea of quitting Nairaland few days...So many kids and trolls have taken over it coupled with the recent server problems i have been experiencing too...

Maybe i will fully stick quora and Facebook at the moment..

It depends on what you want.

Amaechi2023:
but that Reddit dey consume data..

Ask him to define mature stupidity.

Just when I wanted to start using NL that's when I am seeing this.


Before you quit NL, check my signature

ITbomb:

Only Google and maybe Facebook beats Nairaland in terms of Nigerian traffic to any website worldwide

Nairaland is like an organised or categorised Twitter where you get first hand unfiltered info before the mainstream polish it according to their whims.
And it opens pretty fast hence competitors will find it hard to kill or even imitate.

Nairaland can only kill itself by continuous banning of original content providers, slow servers, allowing much spam, altercation with State security etc

Bet9ja.com has 14.9 million organic traffic from google, Legit.ng has 8 million traffic from google,
Betking.com has 3.7 million from google
Nairaland has just 2.3 million..


So no reason am, websites they way pass nairaland for traffic

sorry I made you do all these work

I must say that nairaland is the best forum for now in Nigeria, but with the way boys especially Igbo's and Yoruba's bash themselves, one will think it was created for only them. I don't see such on Twitter. Seun should just do the needful before this forum becomes obsolete.

The only alternative I know of is reddit which is vastly superior to Nairaland. The only issue is most topics are US based.

Nairaland is becoming more mediocre day by day. If seun isn't careful, it would end up like guruslodge.

will I be able to cash out the coins?

andyblinks05:
other alternatives might still pop up and can replace NL

It will take years Nairaland benefited from the internet Boom of 2004/2005 Youtube,facebook,reddit etc were all created during this period

Danhoys:
If you want fun, education, and mature stupidity, entertainment, with great appreciation for intellect, I would recommend Reddit!!!

Reddit isn't a forum
And its kinda boring
Its only good for blogs that need traffic
More like a click bait site

Seun pls be doing giveaway once in a while.. Thank you

ABCthings:

Yes of course...

In the old days you'd need to be a bit older than you need to be today to be able to afford a device and the data to log on to Nairaland, so the young and jobless were naturally excluded which ensured a certain maturity in topics and discussion. But today, teenagers can afford a device and pay for data with which to inundate Nairaland with immaturity and I'm told some even surf Nairaland for free.

In a way, it's a good thing that younger and more people can log on to Nairaland today, because they get to read intelligent stuff they'd never have had access to in the past. I mean, I never had anything like NL when I was in my 20-30s, not to talk of in my teens, when I had to rely on hardcopy books for stuff that can now be learnt for almost free on Nairaland. If anything, this makes the majority of this generation of young people so much more informed than my generation were, though in actual intelligence and understanding, the reverse is the case since this generation do not slug through books like my generation would have needed to. You can't afterall learn as much from the equivalent of tweets as you would from a book, which is obvious by the shallowness of this generations ability to reason and think. But then, that is precisely the reason for change, which Nairaland is failing to do and which is what might eventually make it go the way of the dodo. For I'm certain the older generation are bound to eventually migrate elsewhere when Nairaland is fully inundated with bet9ja and bbtits, as it seems to continually be.

But I ramble! This thread asked for alternatives, and personally, for audience, nowhere beats Nairaland, but for layout perhaps, I've found https://www.naijatab.com/, though I think it would benefit from Nairalands sections structure to the point that if I were the owner of either site, I'd consider merging, and I'd include a philosophy section because it is definitely time we begin to evolve from what we merely believe to what we perceive with our senses.

The picture is for those of you thinking of dodo.

back in the days when NL was NL… now is just too many hidden moniker

Simple.
Use opera browser.
Turn on opera VPN and you are good to go.

Onyenna:
All of a sudden, it’s now becoming too hard to access nairaland..... To open just a page nah WAR! Initially, I thought it was network issue till I opened other sites....

There’s something wrong somewhere......

I thought am only affected until I read some people complaining too

As long as there is no competition, this blog, forum, website has come to stay. The beauty of monopoly is freedom. Whilst Seun enjoys this because of a lack of reasonable competition,I hope he takes steps to offer some positive changes.

you deserve "COMMENT OF THE YEAR" award

nairaland is truly a beautiful wonderful place to be but seun and his team tribalism modes have spoiled the place, not helping matters is that issue of retarded kids operating any how around here

It's funny how people just sit and criticize other people's efforts.. If y'all feel you know more, nothing stops you from creating your own forum and make the alternative you're looking for.

in my own view, Nairaland is doing just fine as every one can easily access the site without consuming much data.

If you guys had your way, I'm sure you'd criticize Google too and ask for features like Facebook and the likes.

Simplicity attimes is golden.

There was never a time when NL didn't have all these things you mentioned, I joined NL in 2011, there were lots of insults savages lol

I created a group for unilag, OAU , Unilorin and Unibadan aspirants when you can get solid information about next year's admission thats 2021/2022...

Try reddit, no kids there, free of people like NgadaAwo

This reminds me of a line from drake’s song

I hate to see you go but I love to watch you leave

If una wan go abeg make una go

Nairaland is getting traffic more than it ever did

Why you complain, Seun smiles to the bank

Better make good use of the platform to either learn , Connect or advertise

This forum is ideal,Top notch and it consumes less data unlike some other forums or website.

There is a saying,
A prophet is not Honoured in his own Home, until he goes out

Nairaland is great at News feed and latest Info base on my view

You don't know what u gat till you lose it.

Let's give Her a Chance!!!

Quora - need answers, it's there even before you look for it. If it isn't, it'll be answered by someone with hands-on experience on what you asking without insults flying about as is common here.


Reddit - the kids in some subreddit (except gaming, maybe Android and Apple subs and politics subs) are FAR matured than most so-called ancestors here. Even the oldies are good (except in politics subs).

Also their mods know how to moderate and if they F up, no time to dey call oga of the site to do the needful.
That mod is as good as gone even if him na Bill Gates.

4chan - stay anonymous and voice your thoughts and darkest secrets, be it an embarrassing one or a murder (yes, those stories are there and no they are not made up).
Strong community too.

Bruh...

The comments section is what I love about reddit.

I frequent the tech subs (Android, iOS and PC) and the comments there when they are arguing are filled with information that you'd have to dig deeper into the web to find cos they worked in the field or dug deeper to find them.

Even those that owns those sites run AMAs.
Even NL that runs on almost same principle as reddit as you are saying its insults, overhyping irrelevant topics and false information on things in tech section.
