We can't continue like this o. I have been with this site for more than eight years mostly as a guest. This site has so much potential and can serve the whole Africa and Africans generally in diaspora.

Seun if it's money you want for publicity and marketing strategies some of your faithful members are ready to assist you.

It's quite disheartening that facebook is just your senior by a year and yet it's all over the world but our nairaland is not even all over west Africa. If are using WordPress I believe their are many beautiful themes out there. Let's us help you

On point.

Seun has this money already though he may be enjoying quiet life but he can surely rebrand nairaland , create new ideas, a more beautiful outlook etc. He may create a thread for suggestions on the improvement of nairaland. Nairaland is a second home, we are one big family. Seun should look into creating other investments with the name of Nairaland..

Why is Mr Seun so reserved and private despite owning the largest indigenous online community in Nigeria, or perhaps Africa?

Pls elaborate on this part.

Wow, welcome sir. I'm a huge fan of your site and quiet persona.

I know Nairaland is not facebook nor is it Craigslist but it serves almost the same purpose.

Linda ikeji recently did something I was expecting you to do. Except she went ahead (maybe backwards only time can tell) to label it with her name.
Please visit her site and see how much interaction you will get as soon as you sign up and get a little following.

I know you are doing a great job on hosting and maintaining this site. But there's so much more to be done. This sight contains so much data on Nigeria and it's people.

I know Nairaland is a forum but I think it's time you transcend it and make more use of graphics.
The articles on the front page should be displayed with graphics. If you are concerned about the data it will cost us users, please don't we are no longer in 2005 where internet connection was extremely slow and expensive.

So this is what I want for our dear Nairaland because in honest truth Nairaland no longer belongs to you many of us have committed our lives to site in the form of our thoughts, advice, life experiences and so much more.

1. I would like us to have a front page like yahoo.com front page. That's where all the news and gist that are eligible for the front page would be redesigned and packaged beautifully.

2. Before an article makes front page, it most have a minimum about of likes in its directory/section. Not just because snake is in the story or because people are clamoring la-la name like a houseboy.

3. I need you to get a new CSS professional that will assist you with the look of the site. You are not Craigslist whereby your users are in their mid 30s and thus will find change difficult to adapt to. Our members here are in their early 20s. If you used WordPress I believe there are alot of buddypress themes you can make use of. Just like Linda's so called Developer, he didn't do anything he only used a buddypress plugin for WordPress to get her the site she desired.

4. The forum section needs more vector graphics and buttons. There is too much text all over your site. For instance instead of writing autos you can simply show a car icon. Same thing goes for health text you can show a Pill vector icon. Cut down on the words all over people understand symbols too.

5. Nairaland some times is more like Afriland let's promote this ideology.
Let's go out and do real marketing.
Let's go to schools and sponsor and promote coding.
Let's really make Nairaland a ubiquitous brand. We can place stickers, posters and banners in strategic places.
We can even advertise on other foreign social networking sites in a bid to get our users to keep returning. Facebook does it alot by advertising on Yahoo
We can have a random invitation to an exclusive nairaland party where members of this site will be selected arbitrarily to connect with one another and mingle with the admins.

Nairaland should be the go to source for the Nigerian audience not twitter nor facebook nor instagram do you know how much money Nigerian companies pay in advertising to these social network sites just to reach out to their own Nigerian consumers. It's a shameful amount of money we export annually.

I WANT NAIRALAND TO DOMINATE NIGERIA, WEST AFRICA AND THE WHOLE AFRICA before we take over the world. I sincerely believe it is possible.

Still patiently Waiting for Mr. Seun's feedback

mrawepresident, God bless you for your great suggestions - as if you knew my mind. I have thought of all your ideas on how nairaland can improve and dominate the western Africa if not the whole Africa countries. Nairaland needs more improvement. I had known nairaland right from my primary school days. now, glory be to God I am presently as aspirant of Federal university of technology Bauchi (Atbu).
Mr. seun, come to the users needs and let nairaland grow more than this.
Topics that will hit the front page should be the relevant topics and not topics base on the amount of comments or so.
I wanted to suggest this topic Mrawepresident wrote towards December. maybe you will add and change the view of nairaland before 2017 welcome us. pls, let there be a suggestion room, whereby members put there complain and suggestions for the improvement of nairaland.

Mr seun, pls, take time to listen to us as we pray nairaland will dominate the whole African countries one day.
Thanks from me and me

Because Today Won't Be The First Time Many Dedicated And Loyal Member Had Made A Suggestion Concerning Nairaland Improvement But Yet Seun Stil Keep Mute...

We Are In 2016 For Christ Sake, I'm Very Sure He ( Seun ) Have Facebook Account , Mark Never Relent In Improving Facebook To Become Best Day By Day, The Brand Of Phone You Used Determine The Type Of Features You Enjoy On Facebook Not That The Improvement Of Facebook Is Affecting All Type Of Brand GSM , Java Browser Features Is Quite Different From Smartphone (bb, andriod, iphone, ipod, etc) Likewise The PC also, I Think It's High Time Seun Really Do The Needful If He Is Not Taking Us (AFRICA) For Granted

Seun:

Bro if you don't wanna improve nairaland (mayb in other not to spoil or disturb your SEO), then try and create a new platform(website); But instead of creating just a forum site, you should create both forum and chat site.

Seun:
I really appreciate the fact that you guys feel that Nairaland is worth investing in.

Seun can't you see you're never successful in any other platform or project except nairaland? It's because you don't have God in your life. The moment you think of a project and you go to God and pray for the success of the project, trust me you'll become successful in it. Asumin i've a website as successful as nairaland, i would've tried to created other platforms that will either be based on another niche, or both forum and chat and possibly download also. I would've try and used nairaland ads to promote the website to get users to engage in it and possibly use nairaland to give it good backlinks and increase it's SEO. You'll be making double money once that platform become a very big and popular website like nairaland. By the time i pray to God for success, he'll help me to make it successful.

Lol

I've seen many websites has been upgrading their sites either by adding new features or by upgrading the designs of their sites. How will nairaland's name be boosted to other parts of Africa or outside Africa when there has not been any upgrade since close to 5years ago despite the new phones and browser upgrades that has been done for these 5years till now ?

Seun:

Alright then kindly put us up-to date on the challenges you may/will encounter on taking us to the promise land so we can always contribute to resolve it based on our individual expertise and experience.

Always try to keep in mind that Nairaland is worth investing in because it's like family to so many of us just as we invest in our individual family.

Seun please listen to them.

The bold is an unchristian line from a christian.

Your advice is perfect without the bold.

It was an attack. Sorry about this. We have mostly fixed it but we haven't declared full victory yet.

good. Thanks boss

Not the first thread of its kind and definitely not the last. Nice suggestions all the same.

Tbh, I like the current build of NL. It loads super fast even on a crappy network. The speed test is just brilliant.

There's always space for improvements anyways, especially the adverts part. I like the events sponsorship suggestion most. Some little CSR-stunt won't be bad for NL.

Oh well, Seun knows best.

*drives keke away*

Seun:
Pls elaborate on this part.

Seriously Seun?? That was all you saw??
That's another Nairalander who believes NL can be bigger.
