There's no competition in this regard. Nigeria is just too big for these other countries to even attempt competing with.

It is not something to be proud of...with banks, banks, dominating the list...shows our economy is still on the low side...we need to see more of IT firms, Telecoms, Power companies, Engineering firms, Hospitality, Tourism, Sporting firms (oh yes we can if we organize our sports well), etc...not just banks, banks, etc....its nothing to merry for angry
