The GREY REVOLUTION: How Seun Osewa Changed the Way Nigerians Connected Online.

Osewa was born in 1982 in Lagos, Nigeria. His father was a businessman and his mother was a schoolteacher. Osewa had a keen interest in computers from a young age, and he started learning how to program at the age of 10. He also had a strong interest in mathematics and science. Osewa attended St. Gregory's College, a prestigious secondary school in Lagos. After completing his secondary education, he enrolled at the University of Lagos to study computer science. But he dropped out after two years to pursue his own interests.Osewa decided to focus on his programming skills and he began developing websites for companies in Lagos. He also started learning more about open source software, which would prove to be important in the development of Nairaland. In 2005, Osewa was struck by the lack of a platform where Nigerians could freely discuss issues affecting the country. So he decided to create Nairaland, a forum that would allow people to have open and honest discussions.
Seun knew that the internet had the potential to be a powerful tool for social change. But at the time, there was no platform where Nigerians could come together to discuss the issues that mattered to them. This inspired Seun to create his own platform Nairaland. Seun faced many challenges in the early days of Nairaland. He had to build the platform from scratch, and he had to convince people to use it. But he was determined to make his vision a reality, and he worked tirelessly to build a thriving online community. Slowly but surely,Nairaland began to take off. People from all over Nigeria began to join the forum, and they started discussing a wide range of topics. Seun's vision of a connected, informed Nigeria was starting to come to life. Over the years, Nairaland has become a crucial part of the Nigerian online landscape. It has played a role in everything from political debates to social movements. And it has helped to connect people from all over the country in ways that were never possible before.
Nairaland quickly became a popular forum, and it soon expanded to include discussions on a wide range of topics, from politics to sports to entertainment. Osewa also started expanding the Nairaland brand by creating other websites, such as Nairaland Jobs and Nairaland Forum. He also developed Infomediary, a digital marketing agency that helps businesses to reach their target audiences online. In addition to his work with Nairaland and Infomediary, Osewa is also a sought-after speaker and consultant. He has spoken at various conferences and events, and he has worked with a number of companies and organizations to help them improve their digital marketing strategies. Osewa is a strong believer in the power of technology to improve people's lives, and he continues to work hard to make a positive impact in Nigeria and beyond. He is a true trailblazer in the tech industry, and his story is an inspiration to many young Nigerians who are looking to make their mark in the world.
