What should Nigeria's tech ecosystem(Yaba actually) be called?

Yaba has a college of technology popularly known as YabaTech so why not just stick to that if we are coining names for the Area?

It’s simple: YabaTech or YabaTek. It doesn’t matter if it coincides with same nickname as the polytechnic. Both entities might help promote & cross-pollinate each other. Let’s go for it.

YabaConValley is unoriginal, grovelling to America, and self deprecating of our confidence in defining our own identities.

Couldn’t have put it any better.

Both post and video are great but I think video greater.

Jeez!!! Someone beat me to posting that awesome pitch for Berlin: Startup Home As A Service. What a brilliant way to promote a city.

Some months ago, as seen from this thread, some dudes were almost up in arms while defending the ridiculous names “Yabacon Valley” or “Yaba Right.” It was even debated on Twitter once. Fast forward today, it seems the mental plague which gave birth to that name has been cured.

Just imagine saying these in real life: “My office is located in Yabacon Valley” and “I will be at Yaba Right tomorrow.” Compare those with “My office is located in Yaba.” Is it not sane, cultural, historic, and simple?

Why I decided to develop a platform called Yabaconvalley.NG

@jamesorior What are you doing?

If that is the case, then Nollywood is unoriginal, unimaginative and frankly speaking as far as I know, it does exist as an ideal now

Getting the debate going. You know when Instagram changed their logo everyone was talking so much about how bad it is but guess if you provide the user what they want they might just have a change of heart and use your service. Everything is copycat in this world from the west…

We saw your Yabacon Valley poster the first time. There’s no need to spam the thread with it. Please desist. Thank you.

What is your problem mate?

Let me ask do you have a problem with me on this platform? I noticed you have been checking in on me and I feel it’s becoming personal.

Please choose your words carefully. Do you think I look like those naija scammer (spam). Gosh that is just a childish word to use in the open to someone you don’t even know.

Please don’t use such words in relation to me okay. And to be clear I have not spammed anyone here.

Really stop antagonising me here :slight_smile:

Reply constructively
Cheers

The other thing that you should notice is that it’s my job to notice when the forum begins to look like this.

If you insist on being a troll, you will be suspended. This is your last warning.

Stop bullying me here mate. So you are telling me it’s a crime to comment on multiple post / conversation.

You have the plug in your hands so you can block me if you think it is the right thing to do.

And for the record I have free unlimited broadband connection so it really not costing me posting :smile:

Lol very funny last chance teacher lordbanks

We regret to report that @jamesorior has been suspended for persistent spam and troll posts in spite of multiple private and public remonstrations.
