Should this be true of Nigeria

"Nigeria suffers as drop in oil prices empties coffers"
That was a headline about our great country Nigeria on the news page of Chicago Tribune.
Should this be true of our God's own country blessed with mineral, financial, mental and human resources?
Why is it that we rely solely on oil, neglecting other avenues of investment, forsaking moral and business integrity, neglecting the benefits of utilizing the resources at our disposal which other countries of the world that attracts some of us that hide behind rich and flamboyant lifestyles and those that feels like if they don't leave the shores of this country they can't make it, are doing.
They squeeze every of their assets thin just to get validation into another mans' country. While some get there to suffer and at the end get hand picked for deportation others become wanderers or end up with jobs they can't talk about when they return.
This countries ranks high and find their way into the heart of youths from "under-developed" country as they have rated us due to poor management of human and financial resources, mismanagement and misappropriation of funds and under-management (if it exists) of human capacity building.
Read about opportunities that may be wasted like the groundnut pyramids of Kano if not given timely attention here on Daily trust.

Other opportunities abound in this country that can make us if oil is breaking us.
We are blaming presido for not devaluing Naira, has it not been devalued enough?
Do we actually want it devalued or scrapped so that we can be spending dollars by the time we are mentally colonized?
"He is not performing". Is he God?
"Is this change we clamoured"? We should all know that change is inevitable and it does not come easy, neither is it cheap.
Why don't we support our leaders to put in their mortal best and prayerfully allow the Immortal and Invisible to perfect our lives and country.
Let us all remember, this is our Jerusalem. If you die in India and they didn't bring you home you will be cremated(burned to ashes), in the US it will take a lot of paper work and money that can change lives to bring your corpse back to motherland. Anywhere you die away from home you, sorry your corpse will be sent back home to eat the dust you trampled.
Making Nigeria better and great should be a collective effort not a one man show or responsibility. Enough of antagonism and blame games.

Open Source Software

  If you’ve spent any lengthy amount of time on the Internet, you’ve probably heard of open source software but might not have fully understood what it is and why it even exists.   This article will describe this recent phenomenon and describe some of its benefits for the software using community. In a nutshell, open source software is software made by everyone – for everyone. The hope behind its development is that through its open access, it will evolve into something that represents the true desires of computer users. Through a wide network of user involvement, the software in question is enhanced and debugged without costs or administrative policies. Traditionally, software is developed behind closed doors. A team of professional coders build it but the community at large isn’t part of its conception. It’s costly to produce and as you can probably guess, that cost is passed on to the end user: the consumer. Open source software on the other hand is free. Free ...

Disruptions in mobile phones manufacturing

“We need to be able to make a chipset to stand out as someone who was really innovative,” ,  John Chan (don't know if he is a brother to Jackie Chan). Business as well as life itself is a risk and only those who plunged into the risky terrains mostly at times come out as a leader in innovation with an edge over others. Mobile phones market has mostly been dominated by big brands like Apple, Samsung, Microsoft (Nokia), Huawei and the likes. At times, the geographical location determines which brand leads where but we all know for now who leads who. The issue has been disruption in giving the end user what they actually think they want. Putting the power in their palms and helping them toy with it in terms of mobile phones, accessories and mobile apps for different applications to make life easier. All these leads to Internet of Things and innovative smart homes. I think one day, we will be able to change the colour of our bed sheet with a click of the phone and adjust the th...

Laptop Batteries

If your laptop battery can not backup as it used to and you can only get thirty minutes or at most forty five of work done before you need to start  searching for an AC outlet? Sounds like it's time for a replacement battery. It is true that laptop batteries are  expensive but without a good backup your pc hard drive is at a risk and you could eventually lost your data in the occurrence of a possible crash. Price vary from one model to another but new ones sell for a few thousands of naira if you know what I mean.  There are some as high as ten to fifteen thousand naira. When you consider that brand-new laptops now sell from as low as forty five  thousand naira, it can be a hard pill to swallow. If your laptop is your primary PC, and you are sure of constant power from your AC outlet (can't vouch for that anyway) you may be wasting battery cycles by leaving it plugged in all the time. Try removing the battery until you actually need to go somewhere with your l...
