Silicon valley isn't named such because silicon or any natural resource is found there. It's because it is a science & technology hub. It is the site of numerous tech firms & start ups. It accounts for one-third of all of the venture capital investment in the United States. That's the problem with Nigeria. We believe that natural resources are the genesis & revelations of everything. Until we start developing our human resources (the citizenry) by investment in widespread quality education, we would continue to not make progress. The west & other nations would continue to advantage because they take serious care to develop their people especially the youths & children while we are struggling & killing ourselves for natural resources that because of our intellectual backwardness, we would still give to the whites to get peanuts. The whites would then refine & process our resources & sell it back to us as a higher price. Is that how we would progress? Chinese people had to come & discover minerals for us & instead of us to be ashamed, we are clapping for ourselves. The bitter truth is that the discovery of any resource wouldn't make anything better in Nigeria. Oil was discovered in oloibiri around 1959. That place still has no light, running water & other basic amenities. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Valley?_e_pi_=7%2CPAGE_ID10%2C2140982921

eh young man. You don't need running to a wiki page!

When siting an industry, nearness to source of raw material is one of the factors considered.

Since there is a source of silicon in this place of interest, tell me why can't there be establishment of science and tech hub there?

You almost said nothing. The population of China is about 2 billion. Added to the fact that China is technologically advanced. Which other country do you expect to have the highest internet subscription rate?

use your brain!

My reaction to the guy was based on the state government regulation of the internet activities of her citizens and the effect on the internet base.
Has the Chinese regulation on the internet activities of her citizens or not, reducing the number or users?

Moreover, Chinese estimated population is less than 1.4 billion. How you got your "close to 2billion is appalling!

But Asari Dokubo once said he has switched his nationality to Benin Republic!

What is his problem with Nigerian issue?

Baba wetin we go come call this one ooo

not carpet crossing cos he isn't a legislative member or a political office holder.

Let us call him political infidel!

Rat don turn our Democracy to Musocracy!

I remember that audio skit, "Hello Oga Kola", where the mouse finished Oga Kola's certificate while Oga Kola was away.

sarrki:
I hate all this carpet crossing

They are only fighting for their pocket and interest

that is not carpet crossing!

proeast:
The same internet the dead wood, vegetable ab.ok.i wants to restrict? While other countries are encouraging its usage the berbarian hordes ruling the zoo are irritated by it!

They aren't irritated by it.
Just trying to regulate some provocative activities on it.

China has one of the most regulation on the citizens' internet activities, behind North Korea. Yet it still has the largest Internet subscriber base.

Internet usage is not all about Afonja vs Flat¡no vs Aboki

TheManfromKenya:
I had sex with a girl that claimed to be a virgin and was quite sure was a virgin and I didn't see a single drop of blood.Please , is this possible..?? Can one actually be a virgin and not drop blood even if it's small after the sex ?? help..I don't want to lose my trust or have doubts about her ??

it is possible.

Probably as a result of the rigorous exercise or stress she once passed through.

The players dey collect the money, some people dey calculate the money for them.

I counted 18!

What a caption!

British press!

They actually rephrased what Garba Sheu was trying to say in a perfect way.

Shey na the new trend be this?

If this is the new trend, I dey expect when dem go post those of 3SC of Ibadan and Sunshine Stars of Akure!

Too low!

Sucking pipe

Would you rather come here, and let me help to prolong your life by helping against chest and breast cancer?

The midwife is advising men to suck the br**sts of their wife thoroughly. Men must suck the br**sts of their partners regularly to help women fight against chest cancer, a midwife, Madam Mary Azika has said.
She was speaking at a seminar organised at the weekend by the Upper East Regional Chapter of the Distance Education Students Association of Ghana (DESAG) of the University of Cape Coast (UCC).

She is in trouble tonight!

God bless this midwife.

Me wey don dey find reason to convince her tey try!

MayorofLagos:
The objective is to look at keywords in the author's own words and tag them in bold to signify areas of interest for socio-cultural match amongst the cultures and societies that border Iboland where the author was born.

We cannot call Azikiwe, or Ojukwu or Nzeogwu Hausa even though they were all born in Hausaland. If we read autobiography of Zik he would talk proudly of his childhood, which was in Zungeru, but because he grew up in Ibo household, resident in Zungeru, his recollection of family pride and virtue and character will be discriminative and give glimpse into his roots.

Same thing here with Olaudah. None of his names is Ibo. He has names that sound Urhobo or Igala. The Equiano is the anglicize of Ekiyano. His middle name is spelt Vassa, more likely Vatsa.

He speaks of his heritage as the son of a father who is member in the Council of Chiefs and Elders patriotic to the Binin King.

"Our subjection to the King of Benin is a little more than nominal". In other words, the land he was born in, Iboland, were subjects and tributaries of Bini.

So if his own father was a member of Bini council of chiefs and elders then who is his father? Could an Iboman be a member of Bini Chiefs? What is Embrence? This is another anglocize corruption of a native term. Does it have collocate in any of the territories in and around Iboland?

The marriage rituals he described are unique. Which culture practice this ritual?

So as I bring more of his writings this mode of analysis will be used to partition and clarify the ambiguities towards finding a non-controversial root for Olaudah.

Gustavus Vassa is his slave name, given after Swedish King, not his middle name.

Olaudah Equiano could have been born in one of the British colonies in America (Carolina), and not African soil, but heard many of the stories in his account from the other slaves transported from the coast of West Africa. Or even read some in books.

With the rutile, cross river can be the silicon valley of Nigeria!

what is the meaning of this?

I forsee Real Madrid being in the same group with Manchester United or Manchester City

And Barcelona in the same group with Chelsea.

Liverpool in the same group with PSG

Tottenham in Juventus group!

This is actually done under anaesthesia, and the motive is for experimental monitoring of the digestion of food in the cows. And to understand the kind of food formulation for the animal's development.


Animal rights activists seem to be against this anyway!

I'M I STILL A VIRGIN?

Good morning ma, I've been following your posts on VTM and it has really blessed me. But please something is really bothering me and I'm always scared each time I think of the problems it may cause for me. When I was 15 years old, I inserted a biro into my stuff and
when I brought it out, I saw very little traces of blood, in fact it was just so little. Since then nothing have ever gone in there and I haven't had sex yet. My question is, am I still a virgin? Will I still bleed again? Please ma, help me because I'm thinking of lying to my future husband that I've had sex so that incase I don't bleed on that night he won't be mad at me... thanks".

You don't need being afraid of what your future husband will say.

Just tell him you are not a virgin. And in case he asked who could have ruptured your hymen with his pen¡s.
Just tell him the "pen" has no "is". It was just a pen.

I don't know what could have caused the cephalic tremor o!

Seems this girl hasn't heard of Lassa fever before!

Well, the difference between the girl's mouth and the mice's mouths is similar!

There's nothing we won't see on social media these days! A Nigerian lady, Law Vickie, took to her IG page this afternoon to proudly show off her rodent 'friends'. She described them as jobless, saying all they like to do is to eat and sleep. Vickie also urged the rodents to say hi to Nigerians on social media

the The community took the advantage to appease the Yewa river with a cow in order for the community to improve economically and also to wade off away evil occurrences that could be in the offing.

The cow wey dem suppose share and eat and wade off evil of "no animal protein in the meal" for the day.

Well, na the priests go finish the whole meat among themselves. That is their own form of tithe and offering.
