Interesting topic.

However, as someone who has managed a lot "Nigeria trained" and "foreign trained" staff, I will say this post is guilty of faulty generalization. Empirical fact has not shown that there is any difference in (terms of output and conduct) between the foreign trained folks and the locally trained ones.

What I have observed is that foreign trained folks are generally priggish and tend to assume an air of superiority. This post just corroborates that.

In a previous job, I was managing an international team based in different countries in Asia, Africa, South America and North America and honestly, all of them, without exceptions exhibited at least one of the points raised in this post.

I think it will be interesting to see someone write a Phd thesis on "the impact of western cultural imperialism on the psyche of Nigerians"

Even if it is agreed that Fashola does not have the constitutional power to mobilize soldiers directly, GEJ would not have mobilized them if Fashola did not request for it. So, by requesting for military deployment, Fashola invariably is responsible for the deployment. I used to be a die hard Fashola fan but truth be told, Fashola is just one over hyped power drunk hypocrite.

I am delighted that people are interested in SEO. However, from the comments I have read so far, it is obvious that their is dearth of accurate information on SEO in Nigeria. Following some of the advice I have read so far can only get your website penalized by search engines. Below is an excerpt of a blog post I wrote about a year ago. I think it will give you an overview of SEO:

SEO means Search Engine Optimization: the process of taking a page built by humans and making it easily consumable for both other humans and for search engine robots. Simply put, SEO aims at boosting your search engine ranking; making your website appear on top result whenever people search for keywords that are relevant to your business. It is borne out of the realization that it is not enough to have a website, your customers and prospects must be able to find your website among the millions of websites that exist online.

Here are some simple SEO techniques any Nigerian business can use to boost its search engine ranking and drive quality traffic to its site:

Build a search engine friendly website

The foundation to having a successful web presence starts with the design of your website. Most Nigerian website designers are more concerned about the graphic layout of their site. This invariably makes them develop sites that are heavy on Flash files, Images, Java applets, and other non-text content. The problem is that, though your website might be visually appealing, it would be virtually invisible to search engines. For your website contents to be visible to search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo, they must be in HTML format.

If your site is heavy on Flash and Java applets, the simple solution will be to redesign it and if you are just contemplating building your site, I will suggest you build it on a CMS platform. This is because most of these platforms are designed with SEO in mind

Rank for relevant keywords

People search for information on the internet by typing keywords (search queries) into search engines. Search engines then rank sites that are related to these keywords based on their perceived relevance and authority. Keyword research is the foundation of an effective web marketing presence. In fact, the entire science of online information retrieval is based on keywords. Thus, you must come up with a list of keywords you want to rank for.

So, how do you come up with the appropriate keywords? For a start, get a sheet of paper, jot down the five queries you‘d search for on Google if you were seeking websites in your industry. For example, if I am considering which school to register my child in Lagos, I might search for “Lagos schools”,” private schools in Lagos”, “top Lagos school” “international schools in Lagos” etc. Ask your friends and family the same question. It is likely that some terms will overlap and this will provide you with a list of primary keywords.

After this, you need to prioritize your keywords to ensure you are going after the best ones for your site. Use Google Keyword Tool to prioritize you keyword. It is a free tool that will tell you the estimated search volume and competition for any keyword. In addition, it will also suggest other modification of your keywords for you.

Now that you have the keywords you want to rank for, the next thing is to insert them in important places on your site. These include in the titles, text, and Meta data. It is very important that your keywords appear in your headers (H1, H2, and H3). Also, ensure that the first paragraphs of your web pages contain keywords as the closer your keyword is to the top of your page, the greater importance search engines attach to it.

Get relevant links to your site

To rank a page, search engines consider the authority and relevance of that site to the search query. And search engines us the link profiles of a site to determine the authority of that site. Thus, invariably the higher the number of quality links a site has, the higher it ranks. However, link building is the most challenging part of optimizing your website. That notwithstanding, you can still simple things you can do to get links to your site:

Submit your website to online directories especially quality ones like yahoo local, Google places, and Dmoz
Register your site on social media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, Diggs, SumbleUpon etc. most of them allow you to link back to your site
Get your customers and suppliers to link to you
And most importantly, write and post periodic quality contents on your sites

Begin a business blog

One recommendation we give all our clients here at wow effect communications is: start a business blog. In fact, every website designed by us must have a blog component. The reason for this is not farfetched, search engines like fresh contents. The greater the number the quantity, quality and frequency of contents on your site, the higher you rank. You just must create fresh contents to rank high and blogging offers you the best opportunity for achieving this.

Search engine optimization takes time; that’s the honest truth. But it can be highly profitable when done right. Of course, there are so many aspects of SEO that are not discussed in this article. This is just a basic introduction and I hope this help somebody[b][/b].
