Seun:
Fellow Nairalanders,

I'm pleased to wish you a Happy New Year!!

2024 will be the year of Nairaland's resurgence. I will face Nairaland squarely like I used to before the discouraging Data Loss Incident of 2014. I will hire more hands to help us to improve Nairaland.

The problems of Nairaland that we should have solved years ago will be solved.

* We will defeat tribalists, trolls, & spammers.
* We will complete our advertising platform.
* We will improve the UI and UX.
* Home page topics will be educative & fresh.

However, I must warn you that things will get worse before they get better. Please stand with us and fight for u as Nairaland faces the tough challenges of 2024, which have already started.

Happy New Year and thanks for using Nairaland!

Seun shey u won't give us new year gift ni

Atleast some of us that av being patronizing nairaland since 2009

mrjojo:
Nairaland is a 2 billion naira worth at the minimum of venture if seun decide to take it seriously

Seun still runs this as a side of 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

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 s, like have some way you rank s, new should have a 3 month sandbox restriction.

3. make it impossible to multiple 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 if possible an IP ban after two warnings






Buid

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, s can toggle on off

2. Add a bit of self moderation by adding a dislike button (when a comment has so many disikes, a manually access if it should be hidden, s 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 get a @nairaland.unblockandhide.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 will also make sharing easy

6. native ios/app with great push feature



mabe more later if I think of more

You didn't charge him for all these?

AHCB:
Even till this very day, the data that was lost, have not been retrieved. So, Mr Seun, why should we take you serious?

If you had faced Nairaland squarely and not go to X and start arguing with people who don't put money in your pocket, Nairaland would not have been down for 2 days.

It's high time you stop making empty promises. It's not nice at all. You sound like a politician. What assurance do we, who put content on this site (not the brain draining content) have that such a thing won't happen again? , we trusted you with our content once upon a time, you disappointed us. So I ask again, what assurance do we have.

Have a nice day, and Happy New Year.

As if you are paying to use Nairaland. See your hubris.

Following The Update

Incentivise NL based content creators. Find a way of getting the inactive ones back. People like fire, etc

Finally. Long overdue. My two cents: there's a reason Nairaland has kept growing after all these years and with next to zero upgrades. It goes to show that the concept and delivery is watertight. So, don't change it except to improve the experience. I'll recommend eradicating tribalism as the priority.

Don't just take the " F in fun away from fun"


I don't know about others but the comments and banters is what keeps me coming here, not when the news broke!

Seun, which kind of campaign promises be this na? Abi you don Apc." We will ", " we will " , ...
Just do it !

Are you threatening us? well if you decide to shoot without missing. We will also learn to fly without perching.

This is encouraging.
👍

Will you also tackle the rampant vitriolic misogyny on here? Thanks

NO!!

Sounds good......it will be nice to purge the forum of tribalism and bigotry....the hate is too much. This is our only village square and one cannot do without it. That's what keeps me going everyday.

Seun Osewa,

Na these two sentences tire me the most.

Just hire the hands nah. Do you need my permission to do that?

"... things will get worse before they get better" is making you sound like a politician.

As long as the "worse" doesn't involve Nairaland shutting down again without warning, we're fine.

How do you intend to defeat tribalist?
These one's have come to stay or you'll keep deleting comments or ban 's?

I'll be watching keenly.

@seun I look forward to this feature

CandyOps:
Seun we should be able to link our social media to our . And use a phone number for verification so if the system blocks your it also blocks the phone number attached.

Give us the ability to block and dislike a moniker

Seun you should try adding more features too like block buttons and voice notes.

long overdue

Thazard:


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

That's going to be for the about to s ...


Not for the s with existing accts...

When you go take start to dey pay active ?

It is indeed something we have all been hoping for. I kindly urge the NairaLand s to be more vigilant and impartial, particularly when it comes to matters of politics and religion. It's time to move away from biased moderation. I am eager to work along with you, @seun, to enhance the NairaLand community. If an opportunity arises, I would be delighted to apply for a position.

Hmm
