This is purely your opinion ser.

Naming that cable Equiano has immortalized that young famous black boy.

Which of the currencies carry your picture bros?

Do u know how many Edo indigene in Lagos state civil servant? What makes u think tinubu is tribalistic, this man had more non yoruba in his govt compare to any government up till date

Have you read about the Egypt slavery?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Egypt
Is Egypt not part of Africa that also enslaved people from Europe? Think beyond.

Maybe you think the project is only around Africa

Why must they name the cable after a slave boy? What is the link between a slave boy and an internet cable? Africans too Mumu, I swear.

Afonjakid:
Igbos are the least tribalistic of all Nigerian tribe. See how the igbo woman brought it to Lagos instead of the SE.

1. Igboland has the least Internet penetration in Nigeria.
2. Igboland has no seaport to connect it from.
3. Google Nigeria's Data Centres and HQ are in Lagos.

If that woman mentioned taking it to the SE, she would have been sacked before close of work same day.

Nigerian born writer and abolitionist. Keep spouting rubbish. Just wait for your second enslavement so that you can write a book on it.

Why does your Jagaban or cabalban goes to UK for medical treatment? I thought Lagos is already a mega city better than London?

Where did Ojukwu die?
Where did Obiano want to run to for treatment before being caught like a rat?
Where is Peter Obi hiding his stolen Pandora loot?

Reni1:


Na wa o, Is it possible that the name was given to immortalize and honor this slave? Considering naming this technology, which will make a significant impact in the lives of the people, as demeaning may be stretching the race card too far beyond reason. For example, my direct ancestors were not slaves but there is nothing significant tied to their names asides from memories, and when we start having children, our children may not even know that they existed at some point.

I think the name given to the fiber was on a positive note and look forward to how lives in that area will change. For example, a new settlement can be setup close to this Data Center and people get to work remotely from that location. Imagine earning dollars and enjoying City life in the remote part of lagos.

Thank you for this writeup.

Nigerialabalaba:
Jagaban wey God give good aura to bless Lagos go bless Nigeria when Jagaban become President.

Lagos just dey shine and become more and more prosperous. God I thank u for Jagaban, Lagos, Google, and APC o.

For me and my household, na Jagaban we go vote for in 2023 insha allah.

Nothing wrong with the name.

Equaino Oludua was also confirmed to be an Igbo slave.

What name should they have given? Oga wise. He is not a slave but was kidnapped into slavery. He was living an honourable life before he was kidnapped by criminal elements. He moved and ended the same criminal, ungodly an inhuman act.

It is because we don't have the intellectual understanding of things, that is why, an american all the way from USA is laying subsea cables here on Nigeria shores

I wil prefare we have one from the Asian axis too. Ie owned by China tech, India or Russia.
All these infrastructure is geo politics.
Any disagreement with and they ie west will "sanction" by disconnecting you, once they are sure you are heavily reliant on the network.

How do you know ? You read it somewhere and chose to believe. You really do not know this for a fact. No one does

The man wrote his own life story and said he was taken from an Igbo village. I don't know why so many people are determined to insist that he couldn't be Igbo. I used to have a friend who was rabidly anti-Igbo. He was ready to die on this matter, insisting that Olaudah could not be Igbo. Why?

BloomingDale:


Immortalize and honor a slave? WTH is wrong with you? The cable is for your second enslavement. They are just letting you know ahead of time.

Just tell us your problem with the name it's that it's Ibo.
Nigeria is a slave of the British with the Fulani as house niggars of the estate.

That's how Glo was shouting underwater sea cable frm one continent like that to africa on CNN up and down.

The money they spend advertising would av been better put into improving services

If you were intelligent you would have answered my question before coming out with baseless counter argument. Ojukwu,obiano are not vying for the office of the president. Peter obi does not go abroad for medical treatment. Even in your reply you still scored an own goal. Typical of tinubu supporters,agberos.

When the cable starts functioning, you'll be the first to ask for free data.

Abeg swerve one side.

They treat white refugees like royalty. I heard they give each family about $400 000. They bus them in AC buses and set them up in nice hotels. For the Nigerians, it is horsewhip while they sleep in detention camps. Lolz. I need me a whyte man, I swear. Na boss him be.

Dumb afonja.. subsea cable has not do with seaport but coastlines connected to the Atlantic ocean.

Why didn't they choose Osun state or ekiti or even Oyo state?
