When did he do change of name?

Did you just say Nairaland has contributed to the political and economic development of Nigeria?? How did it happen? pls school me.

@brownteeth, I am happy you have even helped me add the political contribution. I thought many others who might want to contribute would include Nairaland's many other contributions to Religion, culture, sports, information, foreign affairs, technology, name it! Go to the relevant sections mentioned above, including those mentioned by you. Read, learn, be informed and take beneficial and profitable actions where necessary. Are you aware that thousands of people are making genuine money through Nairaland? Do you know that through Nairaland you can be well informed to decide who you will vote for, come 2011? In fact the list of Nairaland's contributions can make brown teeth white! From OMOKEMESI

Is this an act of a$$-kissing or a sincere appreciation to whom it's due? 
'Continue his service to God kè?' Wait till Seun informs You he's an atheist. 

BTW, I doubt Seun had You, me or Nigeria at large in mind when he thought of creating NL.
His principal interest was and still is his pocket. Seun, bite me!

NAIRALAND FORUM which has made an unparalleled contributions to the economic, social and educational development of Nigeria.

Individuals. Thank You!

@Missy, thank you for your post. I don't know Seun in person . You may probably be one of those who know him inside out. I don't bloody care. I don't believe in theory but practical. When Dr Tai Solarin was alive, he said he didn't believe that God existed. Yet thousands of Christians and Muslims got educated in the school he founded. Many of them have become important in our society today. Dr Solarin was more useful to Christians than many of our religious leaders. It is not what you claimed to be that matters but the product of what you claimed to be. If you agreed that Seun used the Forum to develop individuals, then develope individuals educationally and you have developed the nation educationally! Ditto economy, religion et al. SEUN HAS THE RIGHT TO BAN ANY THREAD ON RELIGION. It may be true that Seun had in mind to make money when he started the Forum. What is at the back of the mind of a Kidnapper and Armed Robber?
