Wales tweeted yesterday, “Broadband speed in Nigeria. Beats New York City”, with a link to the results of his speed test (see below).


Wales arrived in Lagos yesterday and is set to address the Youth Marketer Convergence Conference (YMC 2.0) which runs from 27-28 March.

Wales later posted another tweet saying: “To clarify my earlier tweet – I know this speed is not representative of broadband across Nigeria! But it is real bandwidth and the future!” (see below).

    • Kaye, it doesn't beggar believe. What he specifically said was that the internet speed in his room at Eko Hotel was faster than what obtains in central NYC. He went on to ascribe it to the undersea cables just laid, although he did not allude to the contributory effect of the relatively low internet penetration in Nigeria.
