What I want to know: What can I do to get real internet?
8KB/s download speeds (my Visafone modem @about 100kb/s nominal) are just not good enough.

Clap for the Central Bank of Nigeria
In this article, CBN is praised for sanitizing banks (since 2009 actions) and also for stabilizing exchange rates.

Has lending to the real sector increased/improved?
