True, if not for “most” then for “many” or a critical “some”. A pressure point for social engineering in Nigeria.

It's now obvious that most Nigerians don't have the patience, expertise and brain power to exploit value chains. It is not only in software but in agriculture, mining, etc.

This is a serious moment for the web’s future. But I want us to remain hopeful. The problems we see today are bugs in the system. Bugs can cause damage, but bugs are created by people, and can be fixed by people. 1/9
