If Seun Osewa Doesn’t Believe What’s on Nairaland, Should We?

A surprising statement allegedly made by Seun Osewa, the founder of Nigeria’s biggest online forum, Nairaland, has sparked serious questions among users and digital media watchers.

In a comment making rounds across platforms, Seun Osewa was quoted as saying he doesn’t believe most of what people post on his own forum.

Now Nigerians are asking: If the CEO himself doesn’t trust the content, then what are we really doing on Nairaland?

The forum, which has been running since 2005 and boasts millions of users, has long been a go to platform for news, gossip, job opportunities, politics, and public opinion. But this unexpected statement has raised eyebrows and stirred debate about the forum’s role in Nigeria’s digital space.

One user posted: “So, are we just talking to ourselves on Nairaland? Or is this a way for him to wash his hands off the misinformation?”

Another added: “If Seun Osewa, the owner, says he doesn’t believe what’s posted, why should the public trust the platform anymore?”

While some argue that Osewa’s comment reflects a neutral stance letting users express themselves freely others believe it raises questions about platform responsibility and credibility.

So now the real question is:

Can a forum still be trusted if its founder openly doubts its content?

Is Nairaland just another online marketplace of noise, or a mirror of Nigeria’s raw opinions?

And if Seun Osewa doesn’t believe us, should we still believe in Nairaland?

This development is already sparking hot takes online, and many longtime users are waiting for a clear response or clarification from Seun Osewa himself.
