Nigeria is doing great.

Yet some people will still be angry with this news. They dont like any good thing happening to this country. But they want to rule the country.

Nothing new bro. Starlink is meaningless if poverty index is high here.

I also want to ask, if this starlink which reportedly has antenna to be installed will serve me in my workplace or I can only use it from home.


i ams sure Musk will have his marketers in Nigeria who will push the services to people who don't know what Starlink offers

Good news, but would have been a better news if other infrastructure were in place, i.e. power, stable economy, etc. Las las, they are here to cash-out on the population.

Similarly, starlink's availability in Nigeria brings hope for a more connected future, especially for students and those who have been limited by the high cost of internet access. I believe this will pave the way for affordable internet, making it possible for more individuals to have access to educational resources, including my Yorùbá mathematics classes. I'm looking forward to reaching a wider audience and sharing my knowledge with more students.

You don’t get, you feel it’s by all these when the average citizen is hungry and dying from hunger, kidnapping, banditry, etc. country where if you don’t know anyone you would die poor, country where govt don’t assist the citizens, South African pay their vulnerable single mothers etc and unemployed. Countries have to work, Country where if you don’t do yahoo or bg fraud or know people, or lick ass or enter politics to play dirty, or you will die poor.
