In the 21st century you can easily raise funds from thousands to millions of dollars in the tech space compared to other sectors.
I believe 98% Nigerian tech companies just copy ideas from aboard, paste them in Nigeria and not really solving our issues. That why tech companies that render services in Nigeria struggle to survive. We celebrate when tech companies raised money as been successfully rather than making profits and within few years those companies died or become inactive struggling to survive and just managing to maintain cash flow for their business.
The rich and educated people in Nigeria prefer gambling their money in investing their money in agriculture, oil, mineral resources etc that will make back their money and the company will last for years compared to tech companies.
I believe if we really solve Nigeria problems through technology. Our tech space will really grow and become globally.
@lordbanks should a user be able to start a thread 2 hours after sign up?
Its getting worse, this symptom.
If you were looking for a community manager before, better pick one now. Soon you’d be left with only kiddies to chaperone.
OP if you deigned to use the search box you’d find very detailed address(es) of this topical you just raised tactlessly. Either way welcome to radar!
@ 87_chucks sorri i hope i didn’t break any rule posting an article 4 hrs i registered.
My name is Jeremiah a poultry farmer and we supply eggs to companies in the north and down to lagos.
Read alot about the tech business even aboard and hv alot of friends in tech space esp in Lagos but
i have alot of people complaining about the same issue.
Most Nigerian tech guys dont actually solve nigeria problems and the have this feeling that what applies in aboard can work in Nigeria which is not really true and makes alot of investors in other spaces apart from tech with holding their cash to gamble on investing in Nigerian tech space.
In USA most tech investors make serious money when a company is acquired or gone to the stock market on the new york stock exchange or nasdaq.
I know we dont have infrastructure and dont see this Government going to do any thing much on it but u guys on the tech space should start seeing really nigerian problems to solve than trying to copy ideas from aboard and paste it in Nigeria which might not work in the long run.
Nigerian business men and investors dont gamble like those in silicon valley. They focus on what is d market and how can we make money on it in the short run simple.
What is this one saying again? Even if you register 2 seconds ago, you are free to post immediately, and on the subject of wether their are previous similar post. Did he post the same thing with previous post word for word? All this need for total control… i dont understand, Who knows! you prolly one of those criticizing Buhari yet displaying his trait on Radar.
it’s a cabal… only cabals can talk… u no even grab…
It’s wrong to repeat a topic because we are not here to waste our time. We are here to discuss something meaningful and learn from it .
i support that one should be able to start a topic seconds after registering. Most people that do this already have account with radar. I believe if someone can go anonymous for a topic/comment on radar, this would stop
That one is saying:
There’s nothing new under the sun, the greatest entrepreneurs copy. What you copy and how is adapted to the environment is what matters, how it’s adapted shows how or if it’s succeeds
I see nothing wrong with posting an article after registering. I mean that’s why this ‘User’ joined Radar. He didn’t write anything offensive to anyone and he’s not writing a Press Release. Maybe this topic has been discussed but it’s still very relevant and fresh responses to the topic should be welcome from ‘Users’. Why talk about chaperoning Kiddies. That’s uncalled for.
Is the problem now non-existent? Have we stopped copying tech ideas?
If the answer is No, then you wasted your time the first time you discussed this.
Until a problem is solved, it remains open to discussions and fresh ideas.
if you think i wasted your time you should not bother to read what i wrote and after all i just came into the platform newly and never this topic was discussed and i am pretty sure what i wrote was total different from the previous writer. learn to talk to people ko.
If we all burped the first things that come into our heads, we’d probably not make sense to anyone half the time.
It makes for terrible experience when new users can make threads. Half the time the homepage is overrun with self promotion and clickbaits masking as i-found-this-great-site posts. This is a nagging problem, Bankole and co, can keep deleting 'em as solution but it makes radar homepage less and less engaging and I’d probably visit less over time.
By addressing the OP, I was speaking on the overall interest of the forum; as opposed to allowing users create kneejerk premature threads I believe the overall health of the platform is more important, for sake of the larger audience If it means guarding certain user privileges to spare the rot, no problem.
I can’t claim I know how to run a forum in 2016, but I have doubts the radar guys do either. Organic curation is almost always engineered nowadays. You curate, direct and constantly engage, it won’t happen by some invisible hand.
There’s a search 
on here. Make use of it next time. Sorry for the way I talked ok?
I already visit it less often because of the drop in quality of engagement. I visit today after a break of a week or so to see this thread, which works fine to remind me of why it stopped being a pinned tab on my browser.
i believe for new comers you should start the rules even Nairaland have rules for users to obey than throwing insult on people. no problem and hv a nice sunday
next time the cabal guys set up rules even for new users that are coming in even Nairaland have rules for users so that their will know instead of throwing insults and making some annoying statements because you dont know who is who that you are relating with. Learn how you address people. Some people were just invited by friends to hook up with IT community. That my advice for the cabal people.
if you are part of the cabal team. you can make it more interesting for those that want to promote their products their is column for that and those that want to network create a column for that also and odas and then their is a general page for people to see latest topics on tech space. it will become more organize. visit nairaland and see how organize is it. Those that post on biz, fashion, job and odas hv different links for those that want to read them and you have a general forum for latest stuffs. Not that you start insulting people that are coming in and funny enough you dont have laid down rules.hv a blessed sunday
I was talking to Bankole privately about this same problem. For a week plus, I logged out. I just can’t keep up with the nonsense on the homepage. Logged in, I’ll just offend guys with their BS posts.
wait whaat? 
You opening a can of worms mate.
This is gotten from the guidelines article
What is Radar?
A forum where the African tech community can discuss, share ideas and make connections.
I’m pretty sure this article fits that description
I’m also sure your reply doesn’t fit with this:
The Three Commandments
Be helpful.
Be positive.
Be respectful.
Now here is my deal with comments like this: In truth, they serve no purpose.
Unless the guidelines clearly states so, I don’t believe anybody has the right to define what is intelligent enough to be posted and what is not. (It’ll be fun to see how a set of guidelines would address this problem) Some articles might make sense to you, some might not - just keep moving.
It makes for terrible experience when new users can make threads. Half the time the homepage is overrun with self promotion and clickbaits masking as i-found-this-great-site posts
This we agree on. But you see this is a @lordbanks problem and not a @jerey problem. At least @akindolu said he discussed with the owner privately.
Every platform which provides content is going to at one point in time deal with the problems of content quality but so far you’ve not managed to come up with a solution. And yes preventing users who recently signed up from making comments is not a solution. Infact, it is going to boomerang on radar more than anything else and I’m surprised this is the best solution you could come up with given the level of superiority you anointed yourself with in your first reply.
Radar is not the first platform to deal with content quality issues and it won’t be the last. Instead of insulting users and telling them they’re clueless, shouldn’t you be more interested in filtering out articles based on user’s preference.
I’m sure for every query I make on google there are thousands of irrelevant web page results, but the beauty is those websites are not at the top of my result list.
You see how Quora filters their feeds(questions) based on user’s interest, that should be your area of concentration, basically reducing this issue to a technical problem of algorithms. But i guess that is much much harder to do than just insulting people and deleting comments.
Good luck.
