Southern christians and killing are like 5&6.

When Fela killed James, I guess he wasn't shouting "Jesus is Great" nor derived his inspiration and justification from any biblical text, unlike your 77 virgins hunting brothers.

Doug07034780891 beautiful. But not actually the most beautiful.

I love the spacious compound and color of the paint.

That Ogbunike, na die. Am going to research into that Kingdom.

Thanks Op. U have made my day.

Olukat:
Crocodile have started smiling

So this is what they actually meant. For long, I av been trying to understand the meaning and inspiration behind Crocodile smile.

Thanks for making me understand.

So they intend to make the creek animals smile by feeding them the dead bodies of Avengers. This is not fair. Why single the Avengers, why not also the Herdsmen who had killed more than the Avengers. Or is oil now more important than human life. Sincerely, I don't know Nigerian state is this wicked. Avengers and those fulani cows are both threat to our National security, but why the military decides to feed one to crocodile and pampers the other is what I don't understand.

I used to think Op Crocodile Smile is a military drilling exercise and show of force for the larger Op Delta Safe. I even supported the OP, bragging that the Avengers can't stand the wrath of our almighty Navy, the best in Africa. I supported the whole op, and even convinced few, thinking the show of force was intended to psychological defeat the Avengers into negotiations with the Nigerian State and according to her terms. I don't even know there is a hidden motive. Thanks for opening my eyes.

God is in Heaven watching us all. The Avengers, the herdsmen, the FG and even the crocodiles.

I don't blame the military.

Though I still prefer my Enugu. Lekki na still senior. The Pride of the entire West Africa and sweat of the Oodua Nation.

truly:
I can never every believe you because your analysis is based on inveterate hatred


Contradiction


Congrats


But you are sparkling, aren't you? With your kidnapping, burning witches and militancy?
AT least I am posting here




Since you learnt ABC, you would have know that asking for something is NOT paranoia
But every time a Muslim takes breakfast or walks on the street and Christians shout Islamisation, Islamisation, that is paranoia
Please know the symptoms

and when will the church teach you decent language?

When they kidnap, burn witches or blow up pipelines, do u hear them shout "Jesus is Great". In case u don't know, shouting Allah is great was an ancient Arabic practice, the same way shouting "Artemesis is Great" was in ancient Greece.

What are they asking for?

When will the mosque teach you terrorism is evil? If you like strap bomb on ur body, na hell sure for you. No 77 virgins for you.

truly:
We can demolish the NASS and make it look like a GT bank building - I don't care about it
Professor Soludo removed the Arabic caligraphy from our currency notes. There is no reason to talk about it then
But why was it there originally, because some people from the North can only read the Ajami script

In a lot of places in the SW, public schools teach only CRK, nobody said anything
I have not insulted you but you are demonstrating Christian love here

Thanks for granting Thursday too

When other regions were busy learning ABC, some idiots were learning Ajami, using that a justification to inscribe rubbish into our military crest and currency.

At the pace you lots are going, believe me you people will destroy this nation.

Take it or leave it, Islam is the root cause of the prevalent poverty in the North. Even the Arabs you people are looking up to doesn't joke with western education. The South is making waves in education, ICT, banking, legal profession, medicine name them, but the only thing you people can offer to this country are terrorism, fanaticism, instability and poverty. Take your kids to school they won't.

They have started again, 2mao they will start beheading innocent lives becos of the opinion of one silly man.

Moslems are too paranoid.

truly:
Christians asked for Saturday to be made workfree because of 7th day Adventists - granted by Gowon
That was not trouble making
The same 7th day Adventist recently asked INEC to stop conducting elections on Saturday - it was not trouble making
Christians asked for Christians Pilgrim welfare Commission - it was granted and it was not trouble making
Nobody asked that this country be divided on those ocassions

Muslims went to court in Lagos so that they can wear Hijab in public schools, high court said no they obeyed and appealed
A panel of appeal court granted the appeal, Christians asked Lagos State to disobey the court order
Court in Osun permitted the suit to wear Hijab, Christians who were not part of the suit said if Muslims are allowed, they will wear Church robes to school. They never said they were not happy with the uniform
Meaning they are only interested in stopping muslims from enjoying the benefits of the court judgment

Now Muslims want to enjoy what Christians have been enjoying - suddenly it is trouble making

Can you in clear conscience appear before God and say Muslims are the one causing trouble?

If you run your mouth finish, you close am. Selfish lots, you want everything. You have Arabic writings inscribed into our military and currency and nobody is talking about that. You had the National Assembly designed like a mosque and nobody is talking about that.

We are not against FG declaring Friday as work free, but should be ready to have Thursdays as work free as well.

Bunch of paranoid idiots.

CHIKA NWOBI, MTECH COMMUNICATIONS PLC: The god of Nigerian mobile and technology industry.

Nigeria’s mobile tech pioneer who founded MTECH, West Africa’s largest mobile content company, is producing the country’s next generation of elite entrepreneurs and internet companies – and he’s already got $5m for the job
In 1999, as the United States of America tried to find its way through the infamous dot come bubble, Chika Nwobi was an employee with phoneonline.com, a Knoxville-based mobile internet startup. The East Tennessee State University Computer Science and Economics Hons grad had always wanted to be an entrepreneur.
Sensing an opportunity around the corner, he spent a year gathering experience on mobile web technology, at the time a disruptive phenomenon at the time enjoying gradual uptake in the USA.
Chika recalls, reclining on his black leather office seat: “It was a great time.”
The homecoming
With no veteran experts to consult on this amazingly novel technology, Fortune 500 company execs turned to 21-year-old Chika and the likes who had the head start. “The Vice President of AT&T would call me!” Nwobi exclaims with a smile.
Meanwhile, his home country Nigeria was witnessing a shift to democratic governance after 13 years of military rule, and with the shift renewed hopes of political stability and economic wealth for the famed giant of Africa.
On one of the endless foreign tours of then-president Olusegun Obasanjo’s several foreign tour, Nwobi got wind of the news that telecoms companies would be rolling out soon. He decided to return home, encouraged by dreams of making a million bucks within six months of providing mobile internet service to a hungry market.
It hadn’t yet become fashionable to return home to Nigeria. But family friend Ndidi Nwuneli inspired him. The Harvard Alum, who later blazed a trail in non-profits in made the strange decision to return to Nigeria, motivating Nwobi to also go against the grain and make, early a move many of Nigeria’s now leading tech entrepreneurs eventually had to imitate.
With $300,000 in seed capital from Lateef Belo-Osagie, media entrepreneur Chris Ubosi and others, Chika sourced 10 fresh Obafemi Awolowo University grads and founded MTech Communications.
However – and this is contrary to popular belief – MTech wasn’t an instant success. It would take nearly 3 years before the company made any substantial earnings.
Sure the group of self-taught 20-year old mobile engineers set up the first access and content servers, wap gateway, and the whole gamut of mobile internet infrastructure supporting first mover MTN without any external input. Unfortunately, inadequate network capacity and expensive data costs discouraged subscription. By the end of the first year, the young founder had run out of cash.
By the second year, the startup had become to miss salaries Fortunately, however, the investors were amazed by what the committed lot had achieved and decided to cushion with a little more funds.
“The product, commercially, was a huge failure,” Nwobi recalls. “But from a credibility standpoint was successful. Our financial backers and the MTN guys believed we could do anything.”
The credibility worked wonders. Soon, Nwobi and his team began to get several opportunities from MTN to develop other products – polyphonic ringtones, caller tunes, and a plethora of value added mobile services. MTECH became a massive success!
In 2007, the company generated N600m in revenues with a net profit of N116m. MTECH soon expanded services to all Nigerian networks, began providing audience interactivity solutions for hit TV and radio shows and infiltrated new African markets.
The premier mobile content company now leads markets in Ghana, Kenya, Uganda and Cote D’Ivoire and waxes a $28 million market capitalisation on the Nigerian bourse alone. Owning, by the age of 30, a majority individual shareholding in a multimillion-dollar company, Chika Nwobi was living the ‘Silicon valley dream’ many local tech entrepreneurs still only fantasise about.
“Chika is the god of this whole thing (Nigerian mobile and internet business),” iROKO founder Jason Njoku once said.
True Blood
Born to entrepreneurial parents 36 years ago, Chika grew up in Nigeria. He attended the prestigious Corona Primary School, Model College Badore and Atlantic Hall. His father founded one of the earliest Nigerian courier companies – Choice Courier (now Tranex Plc). His mother also went into business after a successful career as a civil servant.
Light-skinned and chubby, Nwobi fittingly stretches 6 feet high and exudes a charming warmth. What strikes you though is the evenness of his persona – no skewing left or right, excited or dampened. The word is – steady.
His tenor voice has neither the telling accent of his Igbo nationality or the acquired tongue of years in school or work in America. In spite of more than ten years as a chief executive controlling major sums, his dress code is still casual. Chika’s signature is a pair of black-rimmed glasses, short sleeves or polos.
Not surprisingly, even this is neither law nor dogma. At MTECH’s listing on the Nigerian bourse in 1999, Chika joined his high-powered board of directors dressed in a fitted grey 2-piece suit.
The Developer
Bespectacled and covered in a purple Ralph Lauren polo, carton-brown chinos, pink happy socks and a pair of laceless black shoes, Nwobi seats behind a clustered black executive desk at his Lekki-based Level5 Lab – a startup accelerator company he founded in 1999 after dropping active roles at MTECH. He wanted to focus on his passion for building talents and products.
“My role as Group CEO was distracting me from my passion and at that age (28) I needed to do what I enjoyed,” he shares.
But he left a solid legacy from those years as CEO. Many of his pioneer hands are leaders across tech verticals and companies. The leaders of Nigeria’s top three mobile content companies, Twinepine and Terragon Group CEO Elo Umeh, MCOMM founder Mr Chidi Aneto-Okeke and Interswitch Group Marketing Lead Enyioma Anaba are a few of the 10 success-hungry geeks that Chika hired as MTECH’s pioneering workforce. According to Chika, “one of them also now runs network infrastructure for AT&T in America.”
Under L5Lab, which also is a member of the $100m One Africa Media Group, he founded Kamdora.com, a defunct online fashion retailer he now considers unsuccessful. Along came , which he co-founded with OAM boss Carey Eaton, and has helped grow into Nigeria’s largest online auto marketplace with over 40,000 listings.
The most notable success, however, has been his support and reported N10 million cash-for-equity investment in a cash-strapped employability portal called .
That Jobberman interest exponentially appreciated following an unexpected million dollar funding from Tiger Global in the startup. Under Nwobi’s institutional guidance, the L5Lab portfolio companies, seeded with “tens of thousands of dollars”, have developed into market leaders along their different verticals and according to the serial founder, are currently worth a combined $5 million in OAM shares.
In February of this year he took a step further. Venture capitalists L5Lab and Kenya-based 88mph launched 440NG – a Lagos-based $1.5 million early stage funding and accelerator program modeled after Y-combinator. The joint venture will be providing a potpourri of support and seed funds of $20,000 to $110,000 to 10 selected startups, which will be working out of its posh Moore House penthouse overlooking the highbrow Ikoyi area.
The steady Nwobi can barely contain his excitement about this one: “440 is going to be a world class startup environment and the best Nigeria has ever seen!”
It’s planned to be a scalable and systematic approach to churning out both great talent and African products which will benefit from a web of internationally experienced mentors, pool of powerful investors, partners such as Google for Entrepreneurs, and a network of important clients.
“Having seen the talent, hustler mentality, and sheer market size of Nigeria, I think we will see some amazing companies come out of this program,” 88mph founder Kresten Buch, adds.
Foreign money and local players
Nigeria’s tech startup ecosystem received a major boost in 2011/12 when US-based fund Tiger Global made multimillion-dollar investments in three of the country’s leading startups. Nollywood digital distributor iROKO TV clinched a widely celebrated $8 million commitment, travel online agent Wakanow received an undisclosed multimillion dollar funding while Jobberman got a million dollars. Nigeria had officially arrived.
“Tiger and Kinnevik invested here when nobody was willing to take such risk and the entrepreneurs couldn’t afford to mess it up for future entrepreneurs,” Nwobi reflects. “This was a great opportunity for the Nigerian story.”
He thinks it has been a huge success so far. “Our first set of entrepreneurs are doing a great job, executing well and securing additional funds,” he says. “None of the publicised invested companies has shutdown years after. Even some investors have already made money. I have made really good return divesting a third of (my) equity in Jobberman and this development is much needed for progress. I believe that more investors are now looking at the Nigerian space and there should be an exponential jump in startup activity.”
Since Tiger Global’s early investments, the American tech fund has made additional commitments in Nigeria while Kinnevik, Naspers, Rocket Internet, Microsoft, Intel Capital; Millicom et al have also joined the party. According to CrunchBase, last year was by far the most active period for Nigerian technology investment.
No walk in the park
Husband and father to a set of male twins, Chika Nwobi, as successful as he is, is not without his own regrets. Standing in the back end of his white-walled workspace and staring dramatically into the space in front of him, he confesses, having achieved more success than anyone around him at the time, to have sunk into complacency, too early, while running MTECH.
“If I had stayed hungry I could have made MTECH much bigger. But I was young, bored and had that kind of serious cash flow,” he laments.
Then he recalls with a grin how he turned down MTN’s near $1m acquisition offer for his mobile web product. Fresh from America, he had imagined his magical mobile Internet service would make a million dollars within six months!
“For almost 3 years, I and my stomach regretted not selling to MTN,” he bursts out laughing.
Still, his regrets are clearly only a matter of form and scale, certainly not of substance. To all intent and purpose, he is a man who has done well for himself. For this, he credits the phenomenal power of ‘disruption.’
‘It gives opportunities for nobodies to be somebodies,” he says. “Graduates who would never have had a chance in Shell Petroleum for the next 20 years now own massive things. Jobberman and Cheki founders were nobody four years ago.”
And what does the god of big things see in the future? “We’re still in the middle of that disruption,” he declares, with certainty.
There are many young and coming entrepreneurs across the country who will say yes and amen.

OmoAjowa7:
I don't even understand you. MainOne or no MainOne, it still doesn't change the fact that Yorubas dominate IT.
When we talk of dominance, we're talking about presence.It's like a team of 11 players, 7 hausas, 3 Igbos and 1 Yoruba.
Yeah the Yoruba player might be the best but it still doesn't change the fact that Hausas dominate

There are Yoruba traders, It still doesn't change the fact that Igbos dominate that sector.

What do you see on these links

What if you have the largest number of players, while others rakes up the market shares?

Am not interested in who dominates or not, Yorubas are making waves, I can't take that away from them. But 70%? That is arrogance and a bloody lie.

Am combing the entire cyberspace looking for ICT companies in Nigeria and then pick out the SE owned companies. So I saw the site, made verifications and copied them.

Why not discredit any one that is not real? Why not as well compile a list of all Yoruba's ICT companies and let compare side by side. The Op in other thread didn't present anything we can verify but made generalization based on a baseless assumption, arrogantly 'arrogating' 70% to SW. Make una fear God nah.

You I-bobo youths start what you can't finish and I will school you. Go get your jotter

Wtf is Ekenneth Group? Is that the name of a mosquito repellent?

Have you asked yourself how many startups have been incubated by CCHub? Emerging platforms, Venia Hub, Wennovationhub, and
Leadpath Nigeria?

Are there any Tech bloggers in Nigeria bigger than TechCabal and Techpoint? In fact, Tech Cabal is the biggest Tech Blog
in Africa besides S.Africa

Have you heard of Toke Ogun of Marvel Web and SOP Notify? Tayo Akindele of Synergy Capital? Bode Akindele of Couretville
business solutions. These are even old school

What of Fikayo Ogundipe of Tolet.ng,Olayinka Oluwakuse of Balogunmarket.ng, Shola Akindele's Paystack, Olaoluwa Samuel Biyi of Surebids ,Seun Onigninde of Budgit,

Even Iyinola Aboyeji that co-founded Andela just launched Flutterwave.

Femi akinde of slimtrader, Bosun tijani of truppr/cc hub, Oluyemi ojo-printivo, ,samson abioye-Prepclass,Olumide Ogunsanya-Gloo.ng

What of Honey Ogundeyi of Fashpa, Olatorera Oniru of dressmeoutlet

Grits systems is the only Nigerian hardware startup operating with internet of things incase you don't know

Lanre oyedotun-Delivery science,,Pius Oludare- Cribpark, Fehintolu Olatogun- Tutor.ng, Bankole Oluwafemi- Big cabal media (owners of Tech Cabal,Zikoko and Radar), Lifebank- Temi Giwa.Mdaas- Oluwasogo oni, Kangpe- Femi kuti, Redbank- Tolu adeyanju,Onemedical - Laolu adeniyi, Wole Ralph, Oladimeji Sofowora,Kola Oyeneyin- Venia Hub, Kola Aina- Emerging platforms, Bunmi Akinyemiju- Venture Garden group

Jason Njoku was asked a question which company is the best and most profitable tech company in Nigeria as at today, He said Nairabet

Look I can go on and on and we still won't finish

YES, Yorubas dominate IT. I can't throw random numbers like 70%. It makes no sense

At the end of the day, GLO and MAINONE are still bigger than everything you have up there

Oga fear God nah. You have only succeeded in naming yoruba companies that have access to the internet. We are talking ICT companies or dot com companies, not businesses that make use of the world wide web.

I have got my jotters but saw nothing. The CCHub u mentioned, is that an ICT company or equity firm specializing in technology seed funding?

LindaIkeji blog is still bigger than your techcabal and techpoint combined together.

Sorry tolet.com.ng is only an Estate and property management company. In fact, my favourite. The fact that they made use of internet technology doesn't make them an ICT company. Dressmeout.com is the online presence of Dressmeout, a fashion company. Budgit is only a financial service company, Nigerian equivalent of Bloomberg.

All those nonsense online payment solutions you mentioned are not rival to E-tranzact.

The Prepclass u mentioned and the other education solutions are not in the same class with Student Circle Network.

So you wan compare IrokoTv, the largest receipent of foreign investment fund in Nigeria with Nairabet. Nairabet is not even an ICT company, its a betting company and registered as such with the CAC.

Making use of ICT infrastructure doesn't make a company an ICT company, by the way, aside telecoms no other company makes use of heavier ICT infrastructure than banks. So do you now classify banks as ICT companies.

Please, no vex, give us real list. Not companies that have access to the www.

Am not ready for any tribal nonsense here. One idiot even claimed the Yorubas control over 70% ICT in Nigeria, yet nothing verifiable to back it up.

Another idiot even mentioned MainOne Cable that can't even stand Ekenneth Group.

If you don't have anything verifiable here, don't bother to comment. We don't want assumptions please.

Another idiots used social media fellowership as a scientific criterion to measure internet 'sarvviness'.

Yorubas are making waves, but don't control 70% of ICT in Nigeria. The should list the bleeping companies and their owners. More than 70% of the ICT companies are in Lagos, but that doesn't make Yorubas the owners.

OmoAjowa7:
Errm wasn't that list created in 2005?

And how do you even know who earns the highest?

Some of you Gala boys are still in 1990. You don't know sh.it about the Tech industry.

I can't really pinpoint a particular percentage( Of course, I'm not shitgbo ) but I can tell you
there are more Yorubas in the IT sector than Igbos. All you just have to do is look at every pitch
event and the see the names dominating.

By the way, Just GLO and MAINONE shit on everything you have up there even though there is nothing official

Yorubas don't control 70% of Nigeria's ICT. This is the purpose of this thread.

Propaganda is a political tool, an important aspect of modern warfare, there is currently no civil war between the SW and SE, but why the SW have refused to move on even after over 40 years of war is what many are still struggling to gasp.

Though Nigeria is not at war, but one might think the reason for various propagandas is to make sure the SE don't leave the Union. Keeping the Igbos in Nigeria is a struggle for average Yorubas, a war they must win. A war they have carried on their head even more than the Hausa-Fulanis, who even have more to lose in case of separations. This desperation had made them over the years to churn out various propagandas, propagandas the SE had never failed for once to burst, propagandas that had only succeeded in achieving the opposite, cementing the SE collective resolve to seek for self determination and take charge of their political future.

Now, the latest propaganda is arrogantly ascribing to themselves 70% control of the Nigerian ICT industry. A propaganda I have taken upon myself to quash while waiting for the Igbos to lend credence to this.

Below are list of major SE players in the ICT industry. Before I proceed it is worthy to point out an important observation; while the SW tends to have marginal advantage in the number of players in the industry, the SE have the largest market share (revenue). The same way Nairaland has all the traffics and LindaIkeji blog pockets the money.

While some people will question my objectivity because of my connection with the Igbos (throught my fiancee), the facts I present below are verifiable. Am not doing this for my fiancee, but for truth, for posterity and the right thing.

Research on 2016 statistics and u will marvel. But lemme help you with SystemSpec alone.
As of 2016, SystemSpec is the best software company in Nigeria. But do you who their Lead Software Engineer is? Uchenna Okpagu, while Joshua Ochoge is their Senior Java Developer.
I just used the software industry as a case study. The fact that almost all Software companies are in Lagos doesn't mean the Yorubas owe them. Most of them are owned by the Igbos. Nigeria was systematically skewed to make the Eastern companies dependent on Lagos.
When u talk abt print media, we as well make wave. As of 2016, Igbos owe:
The Authority, Mirror founded by Obasi now acquired by Jimoh, the Telegraph (Nwuke), Sun, Daily Champion, Bussiness Hallmark, Complete Sports, The Awareness, ThisDay, Daily Times, and host of others. Of all the whole print media in the country, The Sun is the best and largest selling paper with 80% sales.
Disembark from your ignorance. Thanks

Please is it possible for Chelsea FC to sack Arsene Wenger of Arsenal, or Ebonyi State Assembly to impeach Ambode of Lagos.

Anyway, each of those factions should test their popularity by calling out the people for rally.

However is managing DSS propaganda is still a learner. I would have done a better job.

Gen. Igudu, Leader of the dreaded Icelanders.

Kudos to our Military, Kudos to Operation Crocodile Smile.

Afonjas just did it again. Never disappoints.

Name Checking Association of Nigeria (NCAN), State Headquarters, Uyo. Name Checked. Name Confirmed.

They'll never stop to disappoint.

Just the cone head alone.

Just One Litmus test will give you the BEST answer...


If today Nigerians come out and tell Igbos.. "Come up with Just a Single leader that will be the Head of The Biafran Nation" Just dis statement alone.. give it to the igbos... whatever comes out of it lies the best answer to ur question!

Very scientific reasoning. That is the best scientific approach to determine Igbo unity. U are SMART. #NnamdiKanu

What's wrong with Nigerians sef,saying south Sudan is more peaceful than Nigerians..smh some of you need to travel out and step outside your boundaries and not read old statistics. Even American has internal problem but that doesn't stop Obama from preaching and leading peace or going after isil.Leadership is not just internal if you claim to be the biggest in Africa,it's goes beyond...

for those shouting biafra,you might learn one or two from south Sudan...

We av heard. We aint animals, we can take care of ourselves.

Sorry to bust your bubble, South Sudan is relatively safer than Nigeria.

If Noah's ark really saved every animal on earth today, how come kangaroos are mostly if not only found in Australia. To be precise, Noah's ark stopped at mount Ararat located at eastern turkey. How did the kangaroos get to Australia a continent surrounded by the pacific and Atlantic oceans? How come no trace of kangaroos have been found around turkey not even their remains nor signs of their migration from Ararat to Australia? Did they fly across the oceans? OK maybe it was a miracle like Mary the virgin conceiving Jesus without sex. How funny ...... Really how can anyone believe these trash?

Op I guess you don't even know that around 4000BC that Antarctic was frozen over. Do your research well.
