I agree with you that it is high time that Nigeria should find her feet online. Those nations doing exploits online are not better than us. They are simply more organized and well focussed.Ordinarily, I would have expected both the government and citizens to encourage innovations like MapNTL. But as usual, too many simply want to compare MapNTL with Google Earth and other online Interactive Maps that have been in existence for years. To me that is an unfair comparism. Rome was not built in a day. Those powerful interactive maps started from somewhere.I believe that MapNTL will improve greatly if we all rally round and promote it. Afterall it is free for users. It is only Advertisers that are being asked to pay a token for having their business mapped into the interactive map database. Come to think of it, those corporate bodies spend millions of naira advertising their businesses in Newspapers, but this tool is more powerful. Instead of looking for an old newspaper or magazine to get the business address of the latest Tantalizer in Ilupeju, I only need to go to MapNTL and within 2minutes, I have not just the address but also a phone number.Kudos to the MapNTL team. I wish them the very best. And I will promote it anywhere because I am proudly Nigerian ;-) @Wole

I particularly like the balanced view expressed therein. I think Nigeria is over ready for an online business map finder and am glad that Ireti Ajala is filling that void with his amazing mapntl.com. I have used it and i am still amazed at the depth of local information it contains. What i found really innovative is the idea that i can click on a symbol and get important information like phone number, website, etc of businesses listed in its database. I have clicked on the location map of GTB Ojuelegba to get the branch phone number. I called to get the information i require. Mapntl had saved me the stress of phycially getting to the branch just to get a piece of information i could get via a phone call.Mapntl can really help to promote the location of most businesses in Lagos. Banks, restaurants, hotels, etc should see how providing localised information to their customer via map portal like mapntl.com can benefit and provide them value.
