Computer Village: "Our goal is to be Amazon.com of West Africa" with this kind of web portal?
Just as now is the time of 'developing' ICTs in Nigeria, can't we come up with our own thing?
It's a quite embarrasing (to me) to come up with such big ideas (http://www.computervillageikeja.com/) and throw it down with links to international sites. Nigerians now have many ways to pay offline bills and handle business transactions online (Interswitch, e-gold, PayBoss and some others). Why should we then put up a Nigerian web portal and link to sell outside products? Wouldn't we rather call that affiliate marketing?
In an interview in Daily Sun, Akinola, CEO, CAD Station, spoke of plans to launch an e-payment system. "The system will enable business transactions between buyers and sellers on the web portal, from keyboard to doorstep" he said. Below are the excerpts:

You are right.
But most online orders from Nigeria are not honoured, because of the bad reputation of Nigeria due to the notorious Internet Scammers traced to Nigeria.
I doubt the credibility of the online payment operators you mentioned are operating in Nigeria.
I sell online. But my target is not Nigeria. I am in Nigeria and if I want to sell to Nigerians, I know how best to reach them in Nigeria.
Your blog is good.
God bless.
Many thanks and I really appreciates! Osinachi!
