There is a quiet revolution in Nigeria. Technology and online companies are springing up, with talent attracted by the low start-up costs and the millions that can be made with a small number of staff. Check out the 4 Top Hi-Tech Founders in Nigeria From Akwa Ibom State!

There is a little known secret in this industry – a small state in the south-south is playing a big role in the technology industry – and nobody is aware of it.

You cannot mention major technology and online companies in Nigeria without mentioning companies like Wild Fusions (the biggest online agency in Nigeria), Hotels.ng (The biggest online hotel booking portal in Nigeria), Page Nanny (the tech-managed host for most major sites in Nigeria like Bellanaija.com, Notjustok.com, 360nobs.com etc), Anakle (responsible for digital media for GT-Bank, Shell, etc).

What do these companies have in common? All forefront technology companies and all founded and run by Akwa Ibomites! How does a state with just 4 million inhabitants have such an out sized influence on a particular industry in a country with 170 million people?
