What we are doing in Nigeria is not IT abeg. Not a single tech invention. What we are doing is replicate what has already been invented by the white. Everything needed to make anything related to IT is traced to US. This can't be said about China.

For Nigeria, our IT nor pass payment portals and web design wey everything still link to US.

Guy calm down it all starts from somewhere, it is a gradual proccess. Inovations like this are what we need here. There are wizards and genius in the Nigeriantech IT sector. The enabling environment is our greatest problem. Can't you see Nigerians making waves around the world?

what erks me in all these things is that these people saying "You don't need degree all have degrees".

I'm in the UK with my degree. Today, amazon, microsoft will not hire you if you dont have a degree.
For you to get into a top company in the UK without a degree means that you're top 1% in your field which is pretty hard for someone without a degree.

I know... But this comes with mentorship, 3 months internship and job placements.

It's one thing to know, it's another hurdle to get internship and job placements.

This shows you know little about technology.
Facebook and all those messengers are not an invention, they are applications of existing technology.

Nigeria is not a person. It is just a name of a place.
The proper question is what have you ever invented in your lifetime?
What processes have you improved?

This ojoro too much na

Lagos is the only state working in Nigeria, every other state is almost useless because they depend on FGN. It tells me that if you want to succeed in Nigeria, don't depend on Nigeria.
