We need Ogun state to increase its budget for infrastructure so that more industries will come and those already here will stay.

How can we keep what we have?

You can only budget based on how much you think you can make. As the state's revenue increases, then the budget will also increase.

Also, the state will continue to get more industries as long as Lagos remains Lagos. As long as tax remains lesser than it is in Lagos. They are making more than they are losing so they won't leave anytime soon regardless of how bad infrastructure is

The guy probably didn't do his research. And it was written recently too.

Glad to see Yoruba women representing where it matters.

The list is old. It was written in 2016.

Yoruba women are the most represented in tech. I mean, you can tell who is more productive when you see the people going back and forth with men to do afonja and Igbo.

Not like I was expecting anything else from wo(men) with beards and yam legs anyway

Ogun state is so overrated,its becoming incredible...

despite its enormous potential,companies and industries,its comfortably and by a long distance the worst state in south west.

go to.
ifo
sangoota
papa
ijoko
ofada
sagamu
ota
ofada
mowe and ibafo....

Ogun state is overrated.

But the poster wasn't talking about infrastructure, he was talking about industrialization. Ogun is the most industrialized state in Nigeria.

Those places you mentioned despite being industrialized are fuc.ked up in terms of infrastructure tho.

SIMILARITIES OF THE TOP STARTUP FOUNDERS IN NIGERIA LISTED ABOVE

Did you notice that they are all males? It seems like Nigerian ladies are not venturing into technology at all, that needs to change.
They are all young people.
All of them have Bachelor Degrees.
Six out of eleven of them have Master’s degrees (MBA inclusive).
Four of them have MBA’s.
All of them have worked at firms at one point in time.
Most of them are Co-Founders which means they teamed up with other likeminded people to achieve their goal.
Majority of them have been educated (Bachelor’s degree, Master’s degree, Certificate Courses) in developed countries – USA, UK, Germany.
Many of them – Jason, Tunde, Ayodeji and Gbolahan did not read technology related courses.
All of them are Southerners – Does it mean Northerners are not technologically inclined?


@jeetkundo Check the bolded

Well. That list is old. A lot of things have changed. You could argue that the men owned the bigger startups but there were many startups out there at that time owned by females

The idea that Nigerian ladies aren't venturing into technology is false. The writer didn't do his research well. Fashpa, DIYLaw, Dressmeoutlet, Flying doctors, Lifebank, are all owned by females. Yorùbá too. Infact, Lifebank just raised $200,000 2 days ago. Ire, Moyin, Bukola, Omolara are some of the most brilliant Devs in the country and Africa possibly. One of the co-founders at Piggybank is female. Odun Eweniyi. The list is long.

If you go to Andela, you'd find plenty females there. And there are some Devs like Moyin that have programs catered for females interested in programming

Y'all remember the embedded system engineer that created a smart pump device for gas stations? Oluwatobi Oyinlola

He was part of a team of engineers to build a prototype for the next-generation vehicle (Hyperloop) with his Rloop team called rpod – the vehicle was presented in the Hyperloop competition initiated by Elon Musk. His team won “Best Innovation of the year”

Intel also awarded him "Intel Software Innovator" for representing Africa in various innovative competitions.

Have we profiled these?

Petrolex - Segun Adebutu
Lexcel Group - Ola Rosiji
Rites foods - Saleem Adegunwa

Deomelo kn23h laudate

Also, Seun

This thread should be awarded thread of the year. This is unarguably the best thread in Nairaland history. Anyone who disagrees should argue with his barber

OP really pulled the tligger on this thlead

You got me right. My 2 monikers got like 3-5 months ban each. I abused LalaSHITLala directly on one....on the other, the MOD fabricated an insult for me, plus 1 pending demeanor, won fun mii ni long sentence.

Missed you guys then. Was fun walahi. The pigs were silent then, they are getting bolder these days.

PS- on one thread, you said Ajimobi is doing well, i don't live there, but lots of natives i know don't like him.

I love to read your posts, EponOjuku's and every single Wushe Crew member - always deep and insightful (even beyond the IPOB bashing).... As always in Yoruba land, we know intellect abounds.

No, I never said he's doing well. I said he restored sanity which is quite obvious if you ask me. The Oyo State today is not what it used to be pre-Ajimobi. A whole lot of things have changed. He has attracted investments too.

Osinbajo : Jaga, how you see this 2019 election wey dey come so

Tinubu : Your guy dey hope say I go epp am secure votes for 2019

*Laughs*

laudate:

I swear this is the coolest techy thing I've seen made by a Nigerian. Some people are putting dirty scraps together claiming that was how China started lmao

I know someday, a Yoruba diasporan will come back home and set up a proper automobile company. I know the reason why it hasn't happened yet is because the environment is not conducive enough for it.

Y'all remember the gaming robots guy? Silas Adekunle.
He just landed a deal with Apple. His gaming robots are now on sale in Apple stores

Forbes released a list of 600 of the brightest young entrepreneurs, innovators and game changers under 30 in different sectors

Only 4 Nigerians made this list. 3 of them Yorubas. Adelanwa Adesanya for Healthcare, Iyin Aboyeji for Enterprise technology, Sabaah Folayan for Hollywood/Entertainment. The last person's name is Iyore Olaye. I have no idea where in Nigeria she's from but I know it's somewhere in the ND

Congrats to them

ShyCypher:
Niger State? These ones are Arewa/Afonja mixed breed.

Very rare breed.

Bros, see as matured man like you wear foolishness for head like Turban.

Let's hope other states including LASG will learn from this instead of building drains with no covers, road dividers with dirty zebra colors, roads without proper street and traffic lights, roads without sidewalks , roads with no landscaping around.

Pretty sure some governors will be looking at all of these, but instead of attempting to emulate what they're seeing by attracting investors, they'll be busy looting the "federal allocation" handouts they're getting so that they can buy their own Pearl Tower apartments.

Let me also remind "dem dem" that based on what I've heard from a reliable source, gala sellers won't be allowed there. Just giving y'all a heads up before you scream marginalization when your asses are deported

TRUTH2020:
SEE OUR OIL MONEY.....CHAII NO WONDER YORUBA NO WANT MAKE NIGERIA DIVIDE

First of all, this is a privately funded project by the Chagoury group and many other investors. Even the LASG isn't involved in the funding. I've told you clowns several times that Lagos doesn't need any nonsense oil money. The state is choked with too many investors willing to invest due to her huge market and strategic location

Secondly, you're from potor republic. You should have added "palm" to it or "epo pupa" to make it easy for folks to understand what you meant. This is the oil they have in that part of the country. Please let's always endeavour to make things clear when posting. Thanks

Hmmm

ModsWillKillNL:


Relax bro.

No matter what you post here, flatiyeasterners will beat empty chests like chimps if their thread surpasses this one in terms of number of pages.

To them, that is all that matters now.

Thrashing their useless empty posts here slows down their thread and boosts this one.

Before I came over, this thread was getting dull and very slow in growth.

And of course the debate is between Yoruba and Igbo. Many wont take time to look at the contents of both thread. They'd assume the one with the highest number of pages is the real deal rightly or wrongly. Hence, I have decided to give the Igbo no allowance for empty chest beating as result of number of pages.

Thank you.

Who cares If their thread surpasses this one in number of pages. Are you saying the only way to boost this thread is by dick contest with them? You're joking. You jumped on this thread not too long ago. Before you came, the thread was already past 200 without any needless back and forth bull-chit. It has never been about speed. It's about quality content. There are still countless number of Yoruba companies to be posted. If you want to do dick contest, maybe you create another thread for that.

======

ModswillKillNL, you've successfully turned this thread into a Yoruba vs Ibo thread. Initially, I thought you were just going to refute some lies. Now, it appears you're just copying and posting their junk here. You know what? Fook them and post about Yoruba companies cos that's what the thread is about. Guests aren't interested in their companies. Guests want to see Yoruba companies. And please stop inviting these riff raffs here. Y'all are derailing the thread. Thanks

Smart Idea to bring it here instead of helping them boost their worthless thread

That thread shouldn't have gotten to page 20

Everytime potor clowns post bullshit on FP. These are the lazy replies I see from Yorubas

Hater spotted

Igbo spotted

Tribalist oshi

Tribalism will kill you

Jealousy will kill you

Grow up bro

Wth! Are these clapbacks? Smh
