Even other white lands can't create it either. Only a specific people "the so called Jews" or backed by them can create it in Silicone valley.
It means that the devil himself Jehovah Yaweh, according to the Gnostics, is behind it.

Deep.

What one man paid over $40B for is being developed for less than 2.5% of that. Wicked.

What do you mean by infrastructure

Nairaland has been here a long time
Stagnant and focused on projecting hatred
The numbers are there

What exactly d you mean by infrastructure?

Do you see any money going back into Nairaland as reinvestment? Any vision?
Are the owners willing to dilute their ownership and employ quality people?

You don't have to start at the top but grow incrementally

Talk is cheap, sometimes maintaining originality is better, the little things is what really matters.

LeoThaGreat:
Facebook and Google are currently the most effective spy agencies in the world.

I used DuckDuckGo search engine to look up something on the internet and it informed me Google Analytics was tracking my search but it has blocked it.

A collegue started watching WURA series on Showmax 2 days ago, now her Facebook timeline is filled with suggested posts about WURA.

Some internet peeps joke that if you think of buying iPhone 15 today, Google & Facebook Ads on your phone will be about iPhone 15.

Whoever cherish privacy should use Apple or any other product asides Google and its apps, and should be very paranoid about what they do on Facebook or any phone where it's products (like Instagram, Whatsapp and Thread are installed)

Duckduckgo censors your search and sells your data just like Google

They are based in the five eyes which they're quite sus for claiming they care about privacy

Use non pozzed search engines like Searx or Yandex

Android is more private than Apple


Apple wants each and every bit of your data
They want you stuck with them for life just like the way Coca cola wants their customers to be addicted to their sugary water

That's business, you lose some and you win some. He obviously overestimated the worth of twitter.

Tradepunter2:


Hahahahah you are correct...... Nairaland been here for like forever.... No vision nothing nothing.... Maybe he's hoping to be bought out by a bigger company 😁😁😁😁😁

Funny enough seun doesn't want to sell nairaland

A lot of peeps have made offer to him to buy nairaland

Exactly! Nairaland should have been way more than it is today. Africans and Nigerians in particular seem satisfied with little success.

As one of the earliest member of Nairaland, I am disappointed that Seun has not done much to improve the site in its 17 odd years of existence. The only update seun has done on the site were just cosmetic changes - changes in the colour and fonts of the site and that was done just once. He created a marketplace once called nairalist (I think), but it failed woefully, and quickly abandoned it.

With the fast pace of advancements in applications and technology within the past 10 years, Seun no try at all. Nairaland or a sister app should have entered the social media space by now or at least incorporate a chat app for members to communicate directly.

Nairaland and Reddit were founded in the same year, but look at where reddit is today.

They do... but no infrastructure to project and scale it like US. US being called super power is no joke.How many western powers are competing with US on these media platforms?

Your started talking about finance and corporate structure

MrLankeeee:


True talk bro, there's no evolution. The site looks the same. Take a look at other platforms and see how they've evolved.

Nairaland is a forum not your regular social media which you're addicted to

How many forums give af about their design yet billions of people vists them

Na nairaland e pain me for ... When i was in bitcoin forum that time 2007 nairaland was still new ... Look at bitcoin now bitcoin was just a mere forumm that year same theme with Nairaland

wonlasewonimi:
When the dopey Elon musk was busy making stupid changes, revealing confidential files and firing good employees like he was on drugs, charging people for blue tick and limiting what people can read on twitter, he didn't realise someone would exploit the opportunity created by his madness?

I tell you
Had it been it was Jack still managing Twitter
Mark wouldn't have tried such reason why he wanted to buy off Twitter as at then

But mark saw the opportunity and grabbed it

MalaikaEH:


Africans created Whatsapp, but they sold it to Facebook.

Ukranian American and An American.
No African was involved in creating whatsapp

BigCowHornn:



Even Nairaland has to look to the USA to find a reliable host ..... cloudflare

Most popular technologies use cloud fare

Gajagojo:
The question is why Africans cannot create their own platforms?

The thing weak me. We are just enriching already rich folks.

I will never join the Thread.

Emefiele changes??

No upgrade at all. One can't even delete an unwanted post on nairaland. Go to car section and see so many ads of unavailable cars and posts are still running

And what is stopping Seun from growing nairaland?

Nairaland is fokn big already

If seun ever drops the stats of nairaland , you sef go shock

Why Seun no take Nairaland public to get more funds and fresh ideas. The forum just be like the situation of Nigeria.

it's about status quo, we put so much interest in the things of the west, that we Fail to develop ours

Elon should quietly lick his wounds. He should be thinking of Jumping out of Twitter and accepting his losses. He cannot even sell Twitter for half the price he bought it.

Dudes ego made that wrong investment. He knew and backed off at some point, but his ego did not accept.

The day seun make design updates to nairaland is the day users count drop


Nairaland is backed by an individual but reddit is owned by a corporation


Nairaland is a forum , it should be like that not pozzed social media

Most forums don't give af about the design of their sites
Check out forums like kiwi, lookmax

They all have shitty design

Purvan:

Seun doesn't need to drop anything...

it's obvious you don't take note of the stats...is on the home page...

3m registered members since 2005...and out of that 3m, more than 10% have deactivated their accounts, 35% are no longer active...
If you check well, it's the same set of active people everyday

Melezenawii:

These are not available in abundance here:
Advertisers
Loan
Angel Investors
Internet backbone, broadband.
Mobile telecom and digital communication suites, including applications.
Data centers and networks.
Enterprise portals, platforms, systems, and software.
Cloud services and software.
Operational security, user identity and data encryption.

The problem is that we Africans see our own products as inferior to the white.

Even if all these infrastructures are readily available, black people will never believe in their product enough to invest in it and compete with other races.

Wow! the app isn't bad at all

Infrastructure to scale up is no joke.

Data centers costs billions of dollars to maintain every year. No other country in the world can operate at that level that china and USA are operating, unless means of storing data becomes cheap.


Why do you think seun doesn't host videos etc on nairaland?

That will astronomically increased his bandwidth to host stupid videos and meme, yet he probably won't make enough to maintain it.

Goodman2023:

Funny enough that is what he wants you to see

Seun would never drop the real stats of nairaland just like how coca cola won't list their key ingredients

Spirit04:
how much is nairaland making? It's not by numbers. You coming here to make comments adds nothing to nairaland's purse. They need advertisers. Not all those fake mb they're advertising.

Nairaland need new innovations not new advertisement I have been here since 2008 and nairaland has been the same till 2023 Facebook adopted radical changes since it inception it will shock you to know nairaland is even older than Facebook Seun has the vision but can he build on it.
