Some unconventional wisdom from Victor Asemota
I think Nollywood and Porn have a lot in common. Low quality mass market satisfaction. They could benefit from similar distribution dynamics

Maybe with better Internet in Nigeria, there may become as many Nollywood movie sites as porn sites. Ad funded or subscription model

Nigerian techies are probably missing out on the opportunity of the century. Allow Nollywood to become like @Youtube not depend on Youtube

The problem is that everyone wants to become another @irokotv when they can actually create a massively profitable long tail

People in Africa who look at e-commerce as only for physical goods should have their heads examined. It will be digital goods that will win

People don't say it openly, modern e-commerce had a lot to learn from the porn industry and vice versa. Africans should learn the basics

Differentiation and replication are two different things. Being original means looking at a problem from a unique perspective.

Looking at a distribution problem from both end-user and content creator/operator perspectives will yield vastly divergent ideas.

It is the cycle of divergence and convergence of ideas and knowledge that spins the wheels of innovation. It is not stereotypes or models

Young African techies should be bold and different. Ask the silly questions in class but read the textbook. Pass exams but hit the streets
