Hello all,

Before Twitter there was Nairaland, before Instagram there was Nairaland, before Snapchat and most social media platforms there was Nairaland. What I do not understand is why Nairaland headed by Seun Oshawa has refused to upgrade their platform.

No doubt, Nairaland is a great forum, once I pick up my phone, the first thing I do in the morning is visit this forum and last thing I do before bed time is visit this forum. Why can't Seun upgrade this platform to a world class platform?

Once you follow a member you should be able to keep tabs with their activity, Nairaland follow option is just there as decoration.

Threads you have started cannot be deleted, it stays on your profile for life. I don't think its very cool, members should be able to dictate what or what not should be in their profile.

The interface is as boring as hell, still the same since day one.

The idea behind this forum is fantastic and way beyond its time when it was created, this platform should have advanced way beyond this level. Non Nigerians should have been talking about this platform by now if only Seun has been taking research and development seriously.

I am very sure I'm not the only one who holds this views. So Lalasticalala, Seun and other mods, please do the needful by pushing this thread to front page, let's see what people have to say. Who knows, you might just get new ideas that will grow this forum even more.

Pardon my grammar.

Do the Developers limit things like this from being seen? also why has no one else at this point tried

Oshawa!
By the way, you have a point but the interface was redesigned recently. Is that not an update? Well, we really need something new shaa

Who knows what technology(s) was used to build nairaland?

I really appreciate your ideas and suggestions. They are very helpful.
