As the Nigeria internet space matures, a rising crop of young Nigerian entrepreneurs based in the Diaspora are returning home to grow businesses in the fast growing Nigerian sector.

Mark Essien, a young Nigerian who has worked in Nigeria, Germany and in China recently co-founded [url]Hotels.com.ng[/url], a hotel listings and reviews sites. According to him, he is a a hardware engineer by profession who has also been active in software development.

He started his career at age 19, when he sold his first developed software to Bertelsmann Media. From there, he moved on to release his own products, starting with the Standard MPEG Encoder in 2004, all the way through to various iPhone apps. Mark minces no words about the opportunities he sees in the space in our exclusive interview with him.

Armed with about N5 million in funding, he sees the opportunities in the hotels listings and reviews space as definite and profitable given how successful it is in other parts of the world. Check out the interview below. Happy reading!

Marlboro1: Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo?

moderattor: so why is it on the frontpage?

So what are the types of news U expect on the front page?
Are U that pessimistic or just hate any positive news or because it is not U?

Very good domain name, good initiative and good development. What is left is for Nigerians to support it (that's the most uncertain part of the market survey for a country like Nigeria).

All the best.

N5M is not enough. That money will finish within 6 months and he might pack his bags back to germany. LOL.

In nigeria, there is no venture funds. Your idea must make money and u must be in for long term-say 10yrs.
