Elon Musk’s Starlink Satellite Internet and the Decades in Nigeria

Every decade, something unique happens in Nigeria. In the 1990s, it was the time for a New Banking Ordinance as new generation banks were formed at scale, from GTBank to Zenith Bank.

In the 2000s, we had the decade of voice telephony when MTN, Econet (Airtel), etc began operations.

In the 2010s, there was a massive ascension as Nigeria witnessed the mobile internet era when connectivity left the bounds of laptops and desktops, into our pockets via mobile device, agnostic of location, making every IP a point of sale.
