Why Nairaland Was Down For 2 Hours (42903 Views)

Fellow Nairalanders,

Nairaland was down for two hours due to a minor miscommunication with our host that was related to copyright infringement.

It shouldn't have taken as long as 2 hours to restore Nairaland, but it took a while for us to figure out exactly what to do because it hadn't happened before, and we also had to wait for our host's team to restore us fully after taking the necessary steps.

We are sorry for this inconvenience.

We know that keeping Nairaland working is especially important in this terrifying political climate, and we take it very seriously. Nigerians need a platform that they can use to share their views freely with each other. We believe that Nairaland is that platform.

Best Regards,
Seun Osewa.

2 hours? Lol.
If it was Twitter or Facebook that went offline for 2 hours ehh, a lot for don happen sad sad. I hope it won't happen again. 2 hours is just too crazy for a serious website to go offline without an official announcement.

But sincerely Oga Seun, this is not the first time such will be happening.
Please don't let the laxity of your web host betrayed our confidence in you.
Thank You.
