Nigeria has a culture that is steeped in sharing and storytelling, and Nigerians are passionate about music, entertainment and education. Few other places in the world are home to a movie industry the size of Nollywood, which now ranks second in the world after Bollywood in terms of output, and where over 300 producers create somewhere between 1,000 and 2,000 movies a year!

This makes Nigeria a perfect match for YouTube, which is now putting down local roots with www.youtube.com.ng. From today, YouTube will offer Nigerian users more relevant content, and provide a platform to share Nigeria’s unique and diverse culture and lifestyle with the world’s largest online video community.

The earlier we take control of our cyberspace the better b4 all this multinational cyber giants dominate them, from e commerce to search content and now video sharing google sees what Nigerian entrepreneurs don't see, and that is huge potentials of the nigerian cyber space.

Kudos to NL for scratching the surface, but if the owners don't get innovative I won't be sup prised if NL is outclicked!

As strong as google and Facebook are is it is still number 2 or 3 in chinas cyber space, kudos to the likes of xionei and the likes, and mind u chinas online population is twice the size of the whole US (both online and offline). Nigeria is Africa's china in terms of online population (10x to all those BB girls).

So I call on all the cyber entrepreneurs to take advantage, coz in the future is IT.
