Lagos always dominate every little good things to be celebrated about this country. Isn't it a shame on other Nigerian cities and states? Abuja has not set any pace globally, despite being the FCT for over 30 years. Ibadan used to be a pacesetter, not only in Nigeria but globally. But unfortunately not again. What's happening these days?

๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฌ Congratulations to Nigeria!
Lagos being ranked as number one among the worldโ€™s fastest-growing emerging tech ecosystems in 2025 is an incredible achievement. This recognition highlights the innovation, resilience, and entrepreneurial spirit driving Nigeriaโ€™s tech community, from fintech pioneers to vibrant startup founders and developers shaping the future of Africaโ€™s digital economy.
Kudos to all the visionaries, investors, and innovators powering this growth. The world is watching and Lagos is leading the way!

Enough of the skewed shenanigans let's face the reality and say the Truth Government has no contribution in this.

Ibadan has the third-best tech ecosystem in Nigeria after Lagos and Abuja.
It is recognized as a rising hub due to factors like a large consumer market, lower cost of living and doing business compared to Lagos, and government support, including a new N500 million ICT park. The city's ecosystem is growing, with hubs like Ibadan Tech Hub and organizations like Ibadan Tech Expo supporting its development.

Does anyone have an idea why most of the startups shutdown after a while with the founders and co founders relocating to UK
Re: Top 20 Fastest-Growing Emerging Tech Ecosystems In The World 2025 by gawu1: 4:29pm On Oct 31, 2025
Afghanieastans are in pain over this revelation. They will say it is not true.

Abuja has been the federal capital for over 30 years, how comes nothing of such is coming out of Abuja? There are over 200 million Nigerians living outside Lagos and living in other cities including the cities of the so called billionaires. What's up with them? Is it those Gorillaz selling fanyogo inside traffic in lagos that made this possible?

Why are we not having other cities in Nigeria fighting for position? Should everything be left for Lagos?

A good number of Lagos startups are Igbo owned , I can tell you that moniepoint has an igbo co founder and CTO, Even the Bokku Supermarket is rumored to have an igbo founder or co founder, such is the life of Igbos , my people are the most unpredictable people in the world since even before Adam

Most of the funders will first ask you where you reside, this is a huge disadvantage if you are not in Abuja ,Lagos or port Harcourt. Some of them have a boot camp in Lagos only. Other cities like Enugu has woken up . I was hoping kaduna, Jos will wake up.

Finally Aba in Abia state needs to wake up fast, this is why despite the fact that the governor is trying, some things can just wait, Aba startup school is over due

Please can you be kind enough to explain, what i understood was that Lagos tech ecosystem is growing faster than the rest of the world. It might not necessarily be biggest. But let's hear from you please? You have the floor sir.
