Nairaland: Seun Osewa Reacts To Down Time, Explains Cause

The founder of Nairaland, Seun Osewa, has reacted to the forum witnessing a down time for several hours.

In a response to the situation, Osewa affirmed the situation, providing reasons for which the downtime occurred.

“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 two hours to restore Nairaland, but it took a while for us figure out exactly what to do because it hadn’t happened before, and we also had to wait for our host’s support 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, he concluded”.

Nairaland is considered as the largest discussion forum in Africa with over one million users.
