It was just last week that Sarah Lacy of PandoDaily passionately defended her friend, Paul Carr (Paul De Drunk, if you like), after the majority of The Wall Street Journal readers believe he wasn’t sober. At least not yet.
Last night, Paul Carr made an inflammatory and ridiculous statement about Nigeria’s Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala that undermines her ability and capability of becoming the President of the World Bank, while suggesting that she may have applied for the post via email just like scammers would…
Beyond that, it was an insult to every single Nigerian and I think the proper thing to do *is* to call Paul Carr to order. Of course, Sarah Lacy didn’t as expected and little does she realise that the worst troll on the Interwebs is her darling friend, Paul Carr.
If only she knew.

Thank you for this, Loy. It's exactly this lack of awareness of the actual innovation taking place in countries like Nigeria that inspired me to start building a site I'm working on focused on emerging market innovation and entrepreneurship. Would love to be in touch regarding some of your work with TechLoy if possible. Stories about Ndani.tv or iHub should be what people everywhere are reading about.
I actually found those tweets funny. It's a joke we (Nigerians) can't run away from. The earlier we stop making a big deal out of them, the better for everyone.
