In an interview with ITWeb Africa , Monday also revealed the continent's largest economy is also the company's most important market on the continent.
"Nigeria is our biggest market for everything. It's the most important market in Africa; it's the third largest Opera market in the whole world," he said.
"In Nigeria, 25% of the 21 million active users of mobile internet are using Opera browser. This is bigger than the average penetration of Android phones in Nigeria. The average Android penetration in Nigeria is 20%, on Opera Mini it is 25%. We are ahead of the curve compared to Android," he said.
"It is the faster experience. People value speed. If I'm on a 2G network, I want a quick internet speed – not the page loading per byte, I just want the page to come. It is quicker on Opera because of the compression," he added.
