that's not true actually, we don't really see you as competition.

I long ago realised these guys are obsessed not so much with the actual but the OPTICS-the appearance however incongruous within the larger whole.
This doesn't mean their tech is OECD par; just that they've more tech hubs within a 5th world socioeconomic infrastructure!

What's the importance of Tech hub when the standard of living is hellish?

Worse, a top tech nation without 24hour power supply. The country lacks unlimited internet access and broadband is scanty.

Come to think of it,. India a tech powerhouse suffers from blackouts.as well, even our dear South Africa.

What would things be like if power was 24/7?


I don't think it's as bad as here.

"number of hubs" is no accurate measure of tech output. South Africa's tech sector is far more advanced than Nigeria's.

It's not as bad but it still sticks.

Power generations aim for three 9s, that is a minimum of 99.9% power at all times. That means, a maximum of 0.1% lack of power in a year.

Cos you're waiting for government to create unemployment instead of learning to code or repair computers

I found when I was in Nigeria majority of students obsessed by mathematics. I think it was because Nigerian parents of a certain generation believed maths was the key to all future careers, or at least my parents drummed it in us that this was so. Sadly, I was rubbish at maths unlike everyone else. Anyway, I always knew because of this maths obsession that Nigeria would beat the world at programming some day.

Nigeria need to double or oven triple on its efforts in Tech development as it's alternative to crude oil.
Other than Lagos, other Nigerian urban places are virtually sleeping and not being innovative enough.
There is Benin city, Asaba, Calabar, Enugu and many other Nigerian cities that needs to put in strategic plans to turn their enclave to tech hubs
I'd really love to see the tech community in Benin grow to a desired level.
Living in Lagos and schooling in Benin, I've seen that both cities are tech passionate and I must say Benin is really coming up.

wow! Pips need to be educated about what this news really means.
Tech here doesn't really mean Nigerian is technologically more advanced than SA or Egypt ( ie in terms of manufacturing, automation, academic research n contribution to technology, etc). Tech here only refers to digital technology n startups and have to do with web or mobile apps which includes Fintech, B2B sales sites, Bet site, forums, online TV and media, blog, Vlog, job sites, etc. Those hubs they talk about are like locality where you would find good pool of people including investors (venture capitalist, angel investors, funding firms, etc) as well, as tech enthusiasts getting involved in start up.
Since Nigeria is a very populous country its logical it leads in this area. Tech start up per capital would have been a better criteria n that would see Nigeria doing very poorly
well put.
It seems a lot of Nairalanders are misinterpreting it for something else
