Thursday, December 10, 2009
With a population of about 154,729,000 (UN estimate), Nigeria ranks as the 8th most populous country in the world. Add the fact that a sizeable percentage of this population is made-up of the youth, plus Africa’s 2nd largest economy (GDP nominal) and what you have is a very vibrant job market. It is thus not [...]

Sunday, December 6, 2009
I have noticed a few new naira dot-com websites since my initial blog post: The Naira Brand: Naira dot-com websites earlier this year. Nairaparking.com The domain parking website is owned by AIMTECH NG web hosting service, itself an enterprise of Ahmed Mukoshy. It basically offers a free platform to residents of Nigeria to sell their active domain [...]
Continue reading...The Customer is NOT always Right
Sunday, March 29, 2009
This is to comment on a popular misconception and start a debate about the issue as well. I grew up hearing a “the customer is always right” cliché. It never made sense to me and still doesn’t. Why? Simple logic tells me that a customer cannot be right all the time. A customer is human. A [...]

Wednesday, February 11, 2009
One of the hottest Nigerian dot-com brands today is “Naira”, and for good reasons. The Naira is the currency of Nigeria and many have found creative ways to use it for their dot-coms. It is short and relieves it’s users of the burden of the word “Nigeria” whilst still maintaining some appeal to Nigerians. The earliest [...]

Thursday, December 4, 2008
When I saw a call on my cellular phone from a number +233 10 0000, my heart missed a beat. And why not? This was a very strange phone number that I know does not exist but I still answered the phone, albeit cautiously. Lo and behold, it was the voice of the ruling NPP’s [...]

Saturday, August 16, 2008
I came across the Nigeria Customs Service website a few weeks ago and I think it is worth mentioning as I consider it the most professional website of a Nigerian government agency. It is commonplace to see websites of Nigerian government agencies shabbily done. The official portal of the Federal Government of Nigeria www.nigeria.gov.ng is [...]

Wednesday, February 20, 2008
In December 2007, I was sharing my frustration about GT Bank Nigeria in a blog post titled: Woes of a Nigerian Internet Banking Customer. Till date, things have virtually remained the same – 3rd party funds transfer using the Internet Banking facility offered by GT Bank is still restricted. Well, things have just got even [...]

Saturday, February 2, 2008
The web was ablaze (still is) yesterday with news about Microsoft’s latest unsolicited offer to buy web portal giant Yahoo! for a whopping $44.6 billion in cash and shares. According to BBC News, the offer, contained in a letter to Yahoo’s board, is 62% above Yahoo’s closing share price on Thursday. I am not entirely surprised [...]

Monday, December 10, 2007
Scam emails have been circulating the Internet for sometime now, attempting to trick people into entering their bank account login details into a fake version of their financial institution’s website. This criminal activity is known in Internet security circles as Phishing. To drive-home the point, I am quoting Wikipedia’s accurate description of Phishing: In computing, phishing [...]
