meshybizzo: Why Africa May Never Produce A Facebook, Groupon, Zynga Or Google

http://www.forbes.com/sites/mfonobongnsehe/2011/04/07/why-africa-may-never-produce-a-facebook-groupon-zynga-or-google/

This was the title of a post by an african reporter on Forbes Africa. As I read the post I couldn't disagree with the writers point.

But I still refused to believe africa can't or doesn't have the capability to produce $billion Internet companies.

More even now am interested in knowing or finding out about the ground breaking ideas out there. Because I believe before funding there must be ground shaking ideas and innovations. The writer did make mention of a few but (I stand to be corrected that) we still lack a lot.

So my thought and question has been rephrased from the reporter's.

Where are all Nigeria's programmers and developers?

If not even web apps, Where are the new android and iOs apps? Why don't we have them crawling all over the place?

The mobile platforms are speedingly taken over. Plus from my little research and understanding the cost/effort to produce these apps have greatly been reduced by there inventors.

Sure, We have produced the likes of jobberman and Iroko yet one can still say these are not industry disruptive companies.

Finally, Someone might ask "why haven't I produced mine?" Well I have always enjoyed been on the non-tech (idea guy) side of the game. But we all know many tech guyz in nigeria aren't ready to grow startups (I stand to be corrected again). They do would rather aim for jobs with the oil companies. Have got 1st hand experience on this myself even with some NL programmers. So recently have decided to jump in and start building programming skills. Cos I really really just hate this Article Title!

Now fellow geeks let's hear your thoughts...

SPECUIT AIR SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT (01-08-2013)

Dear customer,

Effective from today, the 1st of August 2013, the following changes are to be observed:

1. CHANGE IN SHIPPING OPTION
Henceforth, please note that laptops, phones and powerbanks will no longer be shipped via Express shipping; it will be shipped via Normal shipping.

This decision was reached due to the fact that all airlines plying China to Nigeria has kicked against shipping in these items due to their batteries.

Normal shipping takes 7 days to arrive when shipped and it's a Friday shipment schedule.

Commission still remains $10/product and $10/kg for the listed items except laptops which is $15/kg and commission of $10/laptop.

2. INITIAL PAYMENT BEFORE ORDER IS PROCESSED
Please note that the product fee to be paid now before your order will be processed is now collectively 80% and no longer 50% of item(s) cost + shipping and commission in full.

This decision was reached due to the fact that our increasing customer base requires more money and also, some customers do not come to claim their items despite several attempts to reach them and this ties down the cash needed to run this business.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Win-Win! [/b][/color]
