LOL, this is an actual argument? Who cares?
They probably sat down and thought âWhat country spends the most money on Digital advertising right now?â and followed the numbers
Letâs not even start talking about power. Ugh.
sorry thatâs a lame excuse
True. I once as a Nigerian, considered Ghana over Nigeria, just because of Power. It is depressing thinking about how much companies spend on power every week.
@binjoadeniran Oh really? Because I know how much it bites our little businessâ budget here in Yaba.
Um, have you seen how much money telcos are burning keeping their services active here? Hell, how much the average Nigerian is burning? Letâs put ego aside, starting a business in Nigeria is a pain for this reason alone, not to mention other issues. Also, yes, they probably considered the country thatâs more willing to pay for stuff online.
I have no qualms with this decision. We, as a country, need to get it together.
WellâŚTo be fair, South Africa does have its own power problems - certainly not as a big as Nigeria.
THE people of South Africa are learning to live in the dark. Their beleaguered power utility, Eskom, is unable to meet electricity demand and in November reintroduced a tortuous schedule of rolling blackouts known as âload sheddingâ. South Africans now check electricity reports that read like weather forecasts: âThere is a medium probability of load shedding today and tomorrow, with a higher probability on Thursday and Friday,â said a recent Eskom tweet. Newspapers print survival tips and âload shedder recipesâ for food you can prepare without electricity.
I agree sha. Nigerianâs Power problem is a serious deterrent
Ghanaâs power isnât that impressive.
Okay you guys didnât hear about the south African power issue.
Ghana power is worse than Nigeria right now.
Wow. And somehow, itâs as bad as Nigeriaâs? And you know, when youâre opening your office in Africa and power is one of your concerns, you will somehow place Nigeria and South Africa on the same level? I see your logic, and I want some of what youâre smoking.
I mean⌠Nigeriaâs in a league of itâs own power-issues wise. Also like I mentioned, itâs just one of our issues, idk.
I love how, 12 replies in, nobody can/has give a reason why they should have an office here.
@onyeka Well, let me go ahead and say it - Giant of Africa. /s
Sorry please did you mean âegoâ as in money or self esteem
Hi guys,
Iâm looking up some data to backup their choice of SA over NG. In the process i also found out that Facebook Engineering team prefers Mecurial to git. https://code.facebook.com/posts/218678814984400/scaling-mercurial-at-facebook/
