Why dont we have NairaLand Icons On Biz Platforms, yet we hug foreign ones? by esere826: 4:47pm On Aug 25, 2012
I must express my dissapointment.

I was recently engaged in a project in Nigeria, and the users kept on talking about icons displaying Facebook, Youtube, Twitter et al. I made a suggestion that we could explore also adding NairaLand icons. ... they all scoffed and made jest of the idea (though many of them constantly check their NL accounts)

I have taken time to look around, and I have noticed the blunt absence of NL and other Nigeria social media icons {logos)on business platforms. I even just clicked on saharareporters <http://saharareporters.com/> and saw Rudolf Okonkwo seating against a backdrop of those foreign based icons.

Why is this?
- Is it that we Nigerians don't think that our products are good enough to be branded regionally and globally?;
- is our understanding of 'global' entrapped in foreign enticements (maybe this is why we like hiring foreigners to handle jobs that we Nigerians can do, just to make our companies look global)?
- or is it Seun's fault?

WHY? WHY?? WHY? ? ? sad
