What's going on here?

Na OGs dey discuss.

DissTroy:
As at now, it is. Well, mostly.

VC funding and other such stabling capital have always been primary to boost ICT.

The VCs out there are hawks. PayStack had to raise $1 million in VC in 2017 and forced to register as a U.S. company. Flutterwave too. So many others.
They pay taxes.

We got 18.7% of our GDP from ICT last year. Imagine the amounts we'd have gotten if these companies were fully Nigerian.

That's just one aspect. With I-DICE, coys like Andela, HNNG and others would be commonplace. I-DICE would help democratise the ICT sector (if fully implemented).

India has something similar.

It's a start and I believe those in the ministry knows what they are doing.

Bosun himself is an OG Nigeria tech guy who I'm sure have encountered one or two of the obstacle that the ICT sector has been facing.

The koko is you need to give him the chance to work first. That he even acknowledged that they have access the $500m should let you know that they are not abandoning the project.

Whether Osibanjo is there or not, the project will move on.

How about safari trip to Rwanda and Tanzania? Those locations are popping even Naija based boys dey hit those spots regularly to view wildlife strictly

Kenya used to pop then also till some Nigerians carry their wahala go there.

Olowunl01:
Oga sir don't know what you are talking about... mesef I know nothing about nothing ema ko igbo simi lapo

Evidence dey up sir. You no need to explain.

DissTroy:
Here's why:

Every policy PYO initiated as Acting President got discontinued or abandoned.

With the momentum he moved with to get the Nigeria Startup Bill passed and the fanfare it got launched plus the I-DICE announcement in March, it's been abandoned.

Please confirm this: The last time news websites reported about I-DICE was on March 15, but I check the AfDB website every other week and there are quarterly updates. Even calls for local Enterprise Development Partners.

The caveat has always been "...once the Nigerian government announces...". AfDB already stated it would contribute its own share of $170 million of the $613 million, but the government has said nothing about it.

----

Even Bosun Tijani (from the report OasisX) shared has seemingly shifted from I-DICE. Osinbajo already did all the work. Just activate it. It's simple.

Bosun is just 5 days as the minister of ICT. The least he deserve is to give him the opportunity to do his best.

Osibanjo did not do all the work, there is still alot of work to be done in the ICT community. That Bosun has commented on it means it's part of what he's going to work on.

Give him his space to get to work. I-Dice is not the all and be all of the ICT sector.

nihilistjnr:
I prefer to stick to Europe. I'm still very young looking. I gym. I get data, and I have some little disposable income here and there. So I'm able to make friends and travel with them if you know what I mean.

I look about 25 years old. So I've not yet had to structure my paroles around per-unit cost models. My innit and swag still dey work...for now. I might have to revisit my model when I hit 40 in a few years.

Lmao.. this man

DissTroy:
No, I don't. It's PYO's brainchild and he worked on it for 5 years, networking with the major players.

Bosun might be able to influence the Nigeria Startup Act advisory board members like Iyin Abodeji who are techies like him but what long-standing relationship or experience does he have to get other partners like the African Development Bank to play their part?

It's PYO's brainchild and he's always been passionate about it. He has the diplomacy and zeal to get everyone to the table doing their jobs.

Sometimes your takes dey always funny me.

Its PYO brainchild as if even PYO didnt have enough technical advisers and all advising him on what to do. What long standing relationship does PYO had with African Development Bank before he became Vice President?

Omo una be men truly.

Olowunl01:
Chief, eniyan ma sey opolopo shalaye lati lo Naija. Then you add the cost, flight cost alone to Naija is more than cost of flights + hotel to DR, even for peeps in europe going to DR is cheaper than going to Naija.

Aint nothing cheap about Naija, have you checked the cost of known brand hotels in Naija?

😂😂😂😂

Spend this money sir. Big booty plenty for 9ja.

Them say na fake news.

Lana1:
Look at us. Look at Brighton!

Because we have clowns parading as attackers.

nitrogen:
We are back to default mode. 11 vs 10 players fa!

Rashford, thunder is waiting for you.

It's annoying. See wetin 10 man Nottingham Forest dey use our eyes see.

melodyogonna:
Even if Rashford is playing shit he is always a threat so far e dey for wing. This coach should stop playing him at CF because he scores goals

Na another match you dey watch?

Rashford should've went off instead of Antony.

It wont be well with Rashford. What kind of fuckery is this.

See what we are playing against 10 man team ffs.

Is Ten Haag mad?

That we are still parading Martial in big 2023 says alot about the ambition of this club.

We have played very very well after the 2 early goals we conceded.

This team is seriously screaming for midfielders and another striker.

Any coach that still has hope in Dr Martial or Rashford as CF will have himself to blame.

afrodoc2:
A bit, but the major problem was that we didn't have enough wingers at both Under-18 and Under-21 level due to injuries mainly. Garnacho that should have been there was in the senior team and his counterpart Mather was injured for a significant part of last season while Mejia has been injured for most of the past 4 years. The rated guy we got from Liverpool Ethan Ennis has been injured for 1 year now and Malachi Sharpe that should be one of the 2nd year scholar wingers has been injured for 2 years.

Which kind injury be this

Omo

WhoDeyHause:
Egbon rest. This is u21 not your senior team. It is the son that killed this bushmeat not the father.

Shut up

WhoDeyHause:
10-1? Who died? . Or did stoke keepers forget to turn up for today's match..

You think its your dead club? Stoke can only flex muscle when playing your dead cub with maga owner.

afrodoc2:
The scoreline is wild but this is one of the few times the coach has played a balanced attacking lineup. Most times he plays AMs on the wings and therefore we have no pace so we just pass, pass, pass without any penetration but today Williams and Mejia on the wings have some pace, Shoretire and Hansen-Aaroen played in midfield rather than on the wings.

I think rotation between u18 and u21 seems to be affecting both teams as they cannot have balanced team most times. Even the u23 teams also.

CrystalTiger:
Our U21 is beating people 10-1 🙄🙄

I shock.

ChristoBam:
You mean when he wasn't in Saudi? I remember the Ronaldo that left United Sha. People tend tend to revise history when it comes to things like this, whether subconsciously or intentionally.

Ronaldo was let go at the right time. He's at the level he's supposed to be at this age. Accept it or keep trolling like a fanboy.

How can someone that's not delusional think anyone at United regrets letting Ronaldo go because he's banging in goals at Saudi. Na ment?

All this shalaye over simple question.

Wasn't he our highest goal scorer the season before he left for Saudi?

He's banging in goals in Saudi as if he didnt bang goals at Utd.

Y'all deserve Dr. Martial.

Leyqute:
And when the team does well, you’ll disappear from here like you did last season.

Why will I disappear when my team does well?

Is everything alright?

Jokerman:
🚨🇩🇰 Ten Hag: "A reinforcement in attack? No, because Rasmus [Hojlund] will be available from next week and we have Rasmus and Anthony Martial. There is also Rashy [Rashford]. So we have enough players to cover this position and quality players." #MUFC

Lmao

I will surely be there.

ChristoBam:
Man's in Saudi. Don't start nonsense.

When he was in Saudi, wasn't he our highest goal scorer?

Jokerman:
🚨🚨| Only Erling Haaland (30) has scored more goals in 2023 than Cristiano Ronaldo (27). 😳

The man holding back our attack.

Hope this helps.

raumdeuter:
What he is referring to is Opo sisu

And its mainly to protect the women as in those days women are not economically empowered and depend on their man to provide for them
Even those who sell in the market, its what their husband farms that they sell, so when there is no husband to farm, kids are still young, they have a way to provide for her and her kids
So if the man dies, she can choose to marry either the younger brother of the deceased or any relative.

I don't know/never heard about wives marrying sons and sons marrying mother since sons naturally take care of their mothers.

Yes. Elder brother or younger brother as the case might be but theres no way a son will inherit or marry his father's wives (His mother)

BlueRayDick:
What is this subsect of this Yoruba culture called ? Care to shed more light on this ?

Donj suppose collect slap for that sacrilege.

Jokerman:
🚨🚨🌕| Erik ten Hag has been impressed by what he has seen from Jonny Evans in training and felt he could prove an experienced option as cover at centre-half. [@TelegraphDucker]

If the board sanction this rubbish, na thunder go fry all of them.

Jodera:
I feel the reason why he forced Ragnick out was because he felt he won't be comfortable working with him. Perhaps if Man U employs someone who can work hand in hand harmoniously with Ten Haag, someone whom he probably likes and respect, then I feel he'll be open to it.

Maybe an experienced Dof from you guys Golden generation or from Ajax golden generation.

I think Overmars left Ajax. We can try to get Overmars.
