    Chinese backed groups / investors looking to put them into debt traps, my guess.

      Nah that’s not how it works, I saw a johnny harris video that explains how the chinese is putting African countries into a debt spiral, while that is hugely concerning, it’s different with tech startups because the investors are actually looking to profit

    I watched Itimi’s documentary on Africa’s Tech Journey. I was born in 2006 and usually i get frustrated by what i thought was mere lack of exposure in the tech space amongst Nigerian Adults but having seen what the state of tech was like then in her docu and comparing it to how far we’ve come so quickly (thanks to some daring pioneers), I have more hope in Nigeria’s future. And yes I can vouch for what she said about young people brainstorming ideas everywhere, just some years back that wasn’t the status quo, the success of our pioneers has given us hope, now there are a lot of ambitious and thanks to the internet well informed youths, and now seeing itimi on Ted, that is also inspiring. It’s crazy how hope can totally transform a nation. Y’all our western bros better watch out. Oh and thanks Ted, for bringing Itimi in.

    I recently sold some of my long-term position and currently sitting on about 250k, do you think Nvidia is a good buy right now or I have I missed out on a crucial buy period, any good stock recommendation on great performing stocks will be appreciated.

      You need an expert. I’m guided by Adviser Bruce Murdock a widely known consuitant.

    • @MaxPolyakov-j4g

      August 12, 2024 at 8:17 pm

      I managed to grow a nest egg of around 120k to over a Million. I’m especially grateful to Adviser Bruce Murdock, for his expertise and exposure to different areas of the market.

    • @PtersonGreg

      August 12, 2024 at 8:17 pm

      My colleagues had a good laugh at me when I told them I started my journey with $50k capital and how I accumulated over 6 figures within a span of 7 months. They never believed me until I pulled out my P&L.

      I know that learning the ins and outs of the market isn’t for everyone, that’s why personally, Bruce Murdock oversees my investments.

    • @MaxPolyakov-j4g

      August 12, 2024 at 8:17 pm

      Without a doubt! Bruce Murdock is a trader who goes above and beyond. he has an exceptional skill for analyzing market movements and spotting profitable opportunities. His strategies are meticulously crafted based on thorough research and years of practical experience.

    Glad to hear this. The pie of wealth and prosperity is huge. Plenty to go around. About time more people get a piece of it.

    Great presentation. Speeds are measured in Gigbaits per second and Terabits per second Tbps. MainOne design capacity is 1.28 Tbps and not 10 Terabytes as you specified. It was put into use July 2010. Glo1 cable was put into use 2011 a few months later with 2.5 Tbps design capacity.
