Thank you for the info. Have you tried reporting him to the MOD?

My sister e dey pain me say na scammer I go give money. If it's actually true.

I recently landed a new job in Marina.

I've never been to lagos and I have a week to resume. I need to scout for where I can get affordable houses to rent that is close to marina. I do not like waking up around 3am just to beat traffic.

My budget is 200 - 300k

I hear mainland has cheaper houses but have no idea where to start looking for, places where I won't have traffic issues.

Island would have been preferable but high costs are a hindrance.

I'd like your suggestions. Thank you.

You can check share flat on Instagram. They post accomodations from time to time. Especially a room in a flat, if you want to share and also avoid agency fee.

Seun:

My supermods were reluctant, so I banned a ton of people myself. For hours and hours. But I couldn't sustain that indefinitely. It's like cleaning a house with multiple toddlers. As soon as you stop cleaning, the house will get dirty again. My supermods could not be persuaded to handle the spammers the way that I wanted them to.

What has changed is that I am ready to bring in new people to do the job and if they fail I am ready to replace them as many times as necessary in order to find someone who will do it. The problems of Nairaland will always be on my mind due to my presence. Solutions will be found.

But I need the assistance.of Nairalanders. I cannot do it alone. We need people who can be trusted with responsibilities such as the ending of name-checking on the crime section of Nairaland.

I am in.

Addme:

Seun, it will also go a long way for people to give permission to whoever wants to follow them.
The era where anybody from nowhere can just follow you without your permission on Nairaland should be over.

.
I agree with this.

mrjojo:
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 enginneers, 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 account from thesame 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 banif possible an IP ban after two warnings




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, so when someone click 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. Add some other Africa countries section based on data and traffic from those countries


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

@ no 7. In my opinion, social media is social media, nairaland is nairaland. A lot of people like their privacy. Linking it to all this paltforms might demotivate people to be on the forum.

Thazard:


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

people loose ownership of their phone numbers from time to time. Especially in a case of theft and some that also Japa. Email is actually better, except there is an option to edit phone number.

I was informed you are a scammer and you scammed someone on this forum??

If that's true, remember nemesis is always lurking around.

Tymk:
that Johnson guy is a scammer . Scammed me of some money . Ignore him

.
Are you serious? He came under the guide of being penniless.

Maryland, magodo and Yaba I guess. They are on the mainland. Congratulations on your new job.

Damnnn niggar

Ain't settling down no shit


If mama wants a grand child then my female siblings can give her enough

If she still insist on my own child then I impregnate one baby girl

you had better tell the baby girl your plan from inception. Don't go and promise one innocent girl marriage.

like they say, Marriage is a beautiful thing if you marry the right person. However with all the heart wrenching news I hear and see, I am not desperate. If it happens, fine, if it doesn't, fine. It is not an achievement for me. I would rather have my peace of mind.

You are welcome. God grant your heart desires.

Johnson225:


Hello ma'am. I quoted you in a different thread. Please check my previous post

Done

Johnson225:


Amen... I sincerely hope

Good morning ma'am, I hope this message finds you well... Please I need help, no matter how little. I'm tired and frustrated at the moment ... Too many things I would like to say but its going to be a very long read .

Please help me if you can. Ma'am

I sincerely don't have much at the moment but you can send your account details.

IkemChris:
The media should stay off this family please...Why do we present family issues in public like this?... everyone in one point or the other have family issues... why make theirs a topic for national consumption.. Emeka ike is not bad neither is his wife or son... they are all just having a misunderstanding...

misunderstanding with physical assault. Omo women don suffer. May it not happen to your loved ones

SmartyPants:


I wonder how a fight between a man and his wife becomes "our" affairs from the perspective of the child? A man is talking about losing all he worked for and all his son can say is stop talking about our affairs publicly, in other words, stop putting my mother to shame.

Read between the lines.

Watch the interview sir.

kerry57:
Can this boy stop talking on the social space. I don't think his father would have told him whatever he told him if he was acting right and not as a mummy dummy.

The worst that can happen to a family is a divided family where a mother will brain wash a child that was trained by a man into believing that his or her father is an enemy. That is what we see in most cases of broken home.

.
Uncle watch the interview.

Animegirl:


Sometimes Nigerian Men scare the hell out of me. They say "when a child is good it is the father, but once the child is bad the mother takes all the insult" you men are quick to insult women but you forget the roles you played while raising your kids.

Sir, with all due respect you're unintelligent. How does getting married to a bad woman relates with what the son said? That he condemned his father coming out to the public saying issues which are meant to be in private.

He might just be guilty of the same offence Emeka has committed. Na Dem

Pierohandsome:
so by going to the public to denigrate his father in the public is the best way to register his displeasure right, he can't have a decent talk in private with his dad?

The boy is badly raised. How dare you correct your father in public

Why leave out the father's evil act in your judgement. Did he throw any insult at his father? This woman has been silent for years. Even when he wanted them to go their separate ways silently, he still defaulted by bringing up his wife as topic of discussion in his interview. You are one of those that quickly jump into conclusion without full information. Did you Watch the interview?

In private, he already told his father to stop bringing up the family affairs in public. What did his father do or say? He told him to go and get crushed by a trailer

fidelmarshal199:



Did you read the post at all? The boy was only protesting with his father for making their private affairs public. which I think it's right.

Like an African Proverbs says "when 2 elephants fight, it's the grass that bears the brunt"

sometimes you have to especially if it's life threatening.

I have been looking for a forum where we can communicate for a long time and I found it here!

Wow. A big welcome.

samuraijapan:
Hello!
I am Japanese! I registered because I want to talk with people from different countries!
I'm looking forward to talking with you!

I'm speaking with a translator.

Welcome! How did you get to know about nairaland?

God bless you for giving out to others. With 10,000 naira I would be able to give myself a Christmas treat this festive period. I initially had no plans of celebrating due to some business challenges I experienced. However, I believe this would go a long way in putting a smile on my face as I would be able to give myself a Christmas treat.

Ope Ohhhh. Nairaland is back

Thundafireseun:
I already sensed a lot of lies in this girl’s speech

1… where you pregnant or not ?

2… It’s only a foooooool that would believe she never met Future

3… Since when did you start directing videos that you want to direct for Asake??

Talk true jare …. No one will beat you Tems

You don't know because you are ignorant. She also directs her own videos sometimes. You don't just jump into conclusion. Make enquiries before you do.
