Methinks the problem was that they were too busy concerned with the business end with little or no regard for the product end.

The truth of the matter is that a lot of businessmen/women is that many of them are so concerned about making profit that they overlook those little "stuff" that could take their business to the next level.
Take for example, a pepper seller in South Africa has a website because he/she knows that he/she is competing in a global market therefore, he/she cannot afford to lose out to the competition BUT in naija, anything goes!

I believe the trend would change over time provided we wake up!!!
