Although am still impressed with efforts of sites like Afriville.com and the new Naijapals they are potential big bangers if well manage.

For me, starting this blog - StartupsNigeria.com, is my own little way of giving support to Internet startups from Nigeria and around Africa. @Justin - Thanks, man! We're proud of Afrigator! We'll be watching the news for more developments;-) @IncorporateNigeria - Your suggestions are well in line with my thoughts.

Most importantly, we need to support each other. As we all know, attention, positive criticism and support drives the mind of the people behind any internet startup. Make and receive link exchange requests, try to get actively involved in your little way and see how you can apply a pal's model to yours to strengthen each other. We that grew up in our part of the world kind of got on this exposure a bit late but with each other's support and constructive criticism, we can make an impact in the world concerning our reputation as a country and develop startups that can compete internationally.
