That was spot on..In a yoruba manner of speaking "o mo esi oro".you know the "quite" reply..i don't think Kenya is that difficult to travel. If you think Kenya is better then park load leave abakaliki and go live the good life in kenya..


What's this unintelligent ramblings got to do with ICT in Nigeria..


If you hate your country so much and if Kenya have overtaken Nigeria so why not shut your mouth and pack your load to Kenya and live the good life in Kenya..



Silly Igbos

We've seen many Nigerian youths and some unpatriotic and ignorant adults like Reno Omokri on social post shallow and unintelligent pictures of of Minister of communication and another man from Kenya for some illogical and irrational comparisons about looks and fashion.

1. Nigeria is the dominant ICT hub in Africa, many times larger than Kenya

2. Nigeria has more ICT investments in that any other country in Africa including Kenya

3. Nigeria has more ICT entrepreneurs and HUBs than Kenya

4. Nigeria's ICT innovations from online businesses to Job and recruitment engines are the largest in Africa

5. Facebook CEO and founder just 1 day in Kenya, but spent several days in Nigeria engaging not only the ICT side of our economy, but also entertainers, digital businesses and marketers and film makers and even returned to Nigeria for more ICT events and dialogue with the Leadership in Nigeria.

6. Facebook CEO himself personality invested tens of millions of dollars in our ICT sector which is a strong affirmation and believe in our strong ICT economy.

Kenya is nowhere close to Nigeria when it comes to ICT so of what relevance is what their ICT person looks like or what he wears.?

Looks and fashion is not a sing of greatness or smarts, me dressing and looking better than you doesn't mean I'm smarter and more successful than you.

For our ICT to be better than Kenya several times over, it means we have better ICT environment than Kenya and the rest of Africa.



What is driving such ignorant ICT sentiments from the likes of Reno Omokri and many ignorant and thoughtless Nigerian youths is inferiority complex, ignorance and low self esteem.



While many Nigerians including the ICT sector are working hard and contributing to our economy and our greatness, these shallow characters with inferiority complex are busy crying and worrying about looks and fashion..


Nigeria is great and so it shall remain regardless our challenges...

Kenyans are smart people they have a 21st century President, not a grand Pa sitting in aso Rock doing nothing. So Kenyans have the right to overtake us as they've done already. It will take us 5 to 6 years to play catch-up that's after the Grandpa is remove. So for now stop deceiving your self. And face the reality you people brought to us. Zombie

In a confraternity relm , I see Nigeria as NBM aka AYE. Always making troubles, fighting for no reasons, forming undeserved superiority. We keep fighting other countries when our lands in shamble.

Nigeria is under economy resession that wrecked and put the whole zimbabwe in an unresolved problem yet we keep seeking for a useless attention.

How much is kenyan shilling to dollar and how much is Nigerian naira to dollar ? I think Nigerians need to take a chill pill and put a stop to this stupid act.

Kenya Power to compensate users for blackouts under new Bill

Businesses whose power is cut off for more than three hours within a day will receive compensation from Kenya Power if a proposed law is adopted.The amendment of the Energy Act will see the power utility compensate consumers for financial losses and physical injuries due to power outages.

The country suffers from frequent blackouts due to supply shortfalls and an aging infrastructure, forcing most businesses and wealthy customers to have stand-by generators.

Kenya Power will be expected to include the compensation in power bills and use it to offset future electricity bills, says the proposed law sponsored by Abdulswamad Nassir (Mvita MP).

Facebook’s Africa PR offensive masks quest for profits after rejection in India

Mark Zuckerberg is a smooth salesman, as you would expect from someone who heads a corporation that has managed to attract a billion people to its network within a few short years.

What was he doing in Africa last week? He was on a grand education tour, he claimed. “Just landed in Nairobi! I’m here to meet with entrepreneurs and developers, and to learn about mobile money – where Kenya is the world leader.”

A few days earlier he offered the same explanation for his presence in Lagos. “The energy here is amazing and I’m excited to learn as much as I can.”
In truth, Facebook has come to Africa because it has attained maturity in North America and Europe and needs a new market.

The numbers are obviously attractive. There are a billion people in Africa and only about 120 million of them are on Facebook.

In America, by contrast, slightly over half the population operate a Facebook account and growth has slowed. Winning over a larger proportion of Africans to the social network would obviously boost the number of Facebook users significantly.

Nicola Mendelsohn, the company’s vice-president for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, was blunt about Facebook’s intentions when the network opened an office in South Africa in June 2015: “This is one of the places where our next billion users are coming from. It would be a massive missed opportunity (not to invest here). Africa matters,” he told Bloomberg.

So while Zuckerberg has struck the pitch-perfect PR notes on his visit, crashing the shooting of a hip hop video, jogging in the streets of Lagos, enjoying fish at Mama Oliech’s restaurant in Nairobi, and going on a mini-safari in Naivasha, there should be no doubt that the real reason for his visit to Africa is to expand Facebook’s bottomline.

Which ordinarily should not be a problem. It appears a win-win situation when a tech company helps to extend access to the Internet in rural areas.

Facebook’s strategy for growth on the continent revolves around its Internet.org programme which is a partnership between the firm and a number of telcom companies.

The idea is to offer free access to the Internet to people living in rural areas who might have basic mobile phones but without access to the net.

An app which has already been rolled out in several African countries allows people to access a number of sites for free including AccuWeather, BBC News, Facebook, Messenger, Google Search, Wikipedia, Facts for Life and Unicef.

It will be interesting to see how Facebook goes about its attempts at expansion in Africa after its fairly spectacular failure with a similar project in India.

FREE INTERNET SCHEME

Beginning in October 2014, Zuckerberg and Co expended huge levels of resources and energy trying to convince regulators to allow them to set up a free Internet scheme for villagers in rural India. Zuckerberg declared Facebook intended to connect “every village” which would spur transformation.

Facebook’s proposal was rejected, in a development the UK’s Guardian newspaper described as “the biggest stumbling block the company had hit in its 12-year-history”.

“Where Zuckerberg saw the endless promise of a digital future, Indians came to see something more sinister. Seventeen months later, Facebook’s grand plans to bring India online had been halted by overwhelming local opposition ... In the end, it seemed, Facebook had acted as if it was giving India a gift. But it was not a gift Indians wanted.

Some of the questions which arose in India were why in America Facebook supports the concept of “net neutrality,” the idea that Internet providers should provide equal access to web content without favouring some providers and yet in India and now in Africa, it is taking the opposite approach by listing some sites to be offered for free and not others.

There was also a wider cultural question about Facebook’s assumption, in the words of the New York Times, that it would “be received with open arms” virtually as a saviour. In India it found regulators who asked many tough questions including on the methods that major giant tech multinationals use to pay as little tax as possible.

The smoothness of Zuckerberg’s entry into Africa shows some lessons have been learned and the approach is much humbler and spun as an effort to “learn”.

The goals are, of course, the same. Nothing wrong with the pursuit of profits but let’s hope regulators in Africa will not be overwhelmed by the charm offensive and will pose the same hard questions those in India did

Bros with all due respect I think you really don't know much about how a countries economy is being run. Or maybe you know, but you are just being hypocritic.

You really didn't answer my question. you say Buhari doesn't have Economic policies/strategies and yet he hasn't borrowed to pay workers. smh. If there are no strategies on ground, would there be any money In the coffers? The government spends over N165 billion every month to pay federal civil servants. Multiply that figure by 12 and compare with how much Nigeria gets as revenue anually since the oil downturn?

Then how does he manage to pay this workers without borrowing? And you say their are no policies.

Bros their is no point arguing this with you.I believe You know the truth. You know that everything happening now is not the fault of the current administration. if you don't know, then it's a pity.

My happiness is, we still have some reasonable and analytic Nigerians who know the facts.

You people just wail because you hear people wailing

Barack Obama 'deliberately snubbed' by Chinese in chaotic arrival at G20

The US president was denied the usual red carpet welcome and forced to ‘go out of the ass’ of Air Force One, observers sayChina’s leaders have been accused of delivering a calculated diplomatic snub to Barack Obama after the US president was not provided with a staircase to leave his plane during his chaotic arrival in Hangzhou before the start of the G20.

Chinese authorities have rolled out the red carpet for leaders including India’s prime minister, Narendra Modi, the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, the South Korean president, Park Geun-hye, Brazil’s president, Michel Temer, and the British prime minister, Theresa May, who touched down on Sunday morning.

But the leader of the world’s largest economy, who is on his final tour of Asia, was forced to disembark from Air Force One through a little-used exit in the plane’s belly after no rolling staircase was provided when he landed in the eastern Chinese city on Saturday afternoon.

Your problem is a personal problem and self inadequacies which has nothing to do with Nigeria..

I just wonder why you people are not packing your load and moving to better Kenya instead of boring us with your lame and loathing nonsense..

Coming from somebody is so much low self esteem about himself and tribe and Nairaland being the only path is let off steam
