May Nigeria Succeed

In the heart of Africa, a nation with boundless potential and a tapestry of cultures finds itself at a crossroads. Nigeria, the “Giant of Africa,” has faced the tempests of socioeconomic and political challenges that have tested the mettle of its people. But amidst the storm, there exists a collective yearning for a brighter tomorrow—a fervent hope that Nigeria will not only endure but thrive.

Unity in Diversity: Stitching the Nation’s Fabric

Picture a vast and colourful quilt, woven together by the hands of a hundred different artisans, each with their unique story and design. Nigeria’s diversity is like that quilt, a masterpiece of identities, languages, and traditions. Yet, for too long, seams have frayed, and threads have unravelled.

In the small villages of the North, in the bustling markets of Lagos, and amidst the vibrant rhythms of the South, there is an undeniable longing for unity. The key to success lies in embracing this diversity as a source of strength rather than division. Let dialogue be our thread, respect our needle, and inclusive policies our loom. Together, we shall mend the quilt, forging a sense of belonging that unites all Nigerians.

Education: Illuminating Minds and Shaping Futures

In the quiet classrooms and under the shade of baobab trees, Nigeria’s future is being shaped. Education is the beacon that can guide us through turbulent waters. Yet, too many children find themselves adrift, and denied access to quality learning. Imagine a nation where every child has a book in their hand, a teacher in their corner, and dreams in their hearts. To succeed, Nigeria must prioritize education as the cornerstone of its development. Investment in schools, accessible learning opportunities, and a culture of lifelong learning can illuminate minds and empower generations to come.

Economic Diversification: Nurturing New Horizons

For decades, Nigeria has danced to the tune of oil. But as global oil prices rise and fall, our nation’s fortunes sway precariously. Success lies in diversifying our economic landscape and planting the seeds of prosperity in new soil. In the rural fields, the tech hubs of Abuja, and the bustling factories, opportunities beckon. We must nurture agriculture, technology, manufacturing, and renewable energy. These diverse fields will not only create jobs but also foster resilience in the face of economic storms.

Youth Empowerment: Nurturing the Flame of Innovation

In the eyes of Nigeria’s youth, we glimpse the nation’s future. They are our greatest hope and our most potent resource. Yet, many find themselves in the shadows, yearning for opportunities. Imagine a Nigeria where every young mind is nurtured, and where entrepreneurship and innovation are celebrated. Empowering our youth through education, skills development, and job opportunities will kindle the flames of innovation, driving Nigeria’s success story.

Corruption Eradication: Clearing the Path to Prosperity

Corruption, like a relentless tempest, has battered the foundations of our nation. It erodes trust, stifles growth, and perpetuates inequality. To succeed, Nigeria must confront corruption head-on. Through transparency, accountability, and the unwavering enforcement of anti-corruption laws, we can chart a new course. A corruption-free Nigeria will attract investors, ensure resources benefit the people, and rebuild faith in our institutions.

Good Governance: Nurturing the Garden of Progress

In the hallowed halls of governance, the hopes and dreams of millions are entrusted. To succeed, our leaders must prioritize the welfare of the people, uphold the rule of law, and use resources wisely. Imagine a Nigeria where leaders lead by example, and where governance is effective and accountable. Citizens’ participation in governance through free and fair elections is paramount. Only through such good governance can we cultivate the garden of progress.

Security and Peace: Calming the Storms of Uncertainty

The echoes of conflict, insurgency, and banditry have pierced the tranquillity of our nation. Peace and security are the anchors of prosperity. In the dusty towns, the vibrant cities, and the peaceful villages, we must stand together against the tide of insecurity. Equipping our security forces, engaging communities, and promoting conflict resolution will pave the way to a Nigeria where peace reigns once more.

International Cooperation: Building Bridges to Success

Nigeria’s success is not an isolated journey but one intertwined with the world. Through international partnerships, we can bring in investments, expertise, and support for our developmental initiatives. By fostering strong diplomatic ties, Nigeria can address regional and global challenges effectively, ensuring that our voice resonates on the world stage.

A Heartfelt Hope for Nigeria’s Triumph

As we navigate the stormy waters of our challenges, let our hearts be filled with hope and determination. Nigeria’s journey to success is a heartfelt narrative—a story of a resilient people striving for a brighter tomorrow. May Nigeria succeed in realizing the dreams of its citizens, where prosperity, justice, and equality prevail. The path may be arduous, but with unwavering determination and the collective strength of its people, Nigeria can rise above its challenges and emerge as a beacon of hope, not just for Africa but for the world. Together, we shall triumph.

The Huawei’s Periwinkle Evolution And the Power of Resilience

The periwinkle is a low level animal which adds only marginal value at normal state. But when you scratch its surface, it will release a precious gem, the cryolite. The accomplishment of Huawei in overcoming many Western sanctions including sanctions on Cadence (the world’s leading computer aided design tool for making advanced integraed circuits), sanctions on ASML ( the world’s leading chip manufacturing maker, especially for advanced lithography), sanctions on operating systems (Google’s Android designkits), sanctions on 5G module (Qualcumm’s 5G modules), sanctions on smart-chips (Nvidia’s GPU chips), sanctions on advanced converters (my former employer, Analog Devices, not allowed to ship its most advanced converters), etc, is a story of corporate and national resilience.

In the 1880s as the United States was clipping the economy of the UK, then the world’s largest economy, the US used many technology innovations to accelerate away from any impediment Britain was bringing. History is about to repeat as Huawei has shown that it has an internal mechanism to build some of the world’s most advanced technologies.

If indeed Huawei made these things (it is possible they stocked some before sanctions), and they reveal that indeed they created them (event coming on Sept 25), a new dimension would be added in the global economy. Simply, sanctions fail, most times! The other day, the New York Times concluded that sanctions against Russia have also failed as they’re making more missiles and new species of drones which they did not have in Feb 2022.

Background

The US government had placed Huawei on its trade blacklist in 2019 over national security concerns. The sanctions have impacted Huawei’s business globally, and its revenue fell by nearly a third in 2021. The Trump administration began restricting semiconductor sales to Huawei in 2019. The Biden administration expanded those controls, cutting Huawei’s access to both U.S. consumers and suppliers.

The US’s initial measures targeting Huawei were driven by concerns that the tech giant could use its presence in the world’s telecommunications networks to spy for the Chinese government.

The sanctions have required US suppliers to obtain a special license to ship goods to Huawei. The restrictions were further tightened in 2020.

The Mate 60 Pro

Huawei’s latest smartphone, theMate 60 Pro, allegedly built largely on Chinese components, has brought a new basis of competition in the game of smartphones, including a satellite feature which has the form factor, weight, usability, size and other basic things we see in most modern terrestrial smartphones . This could indicate that Huawei has found a solution to the US’ microchip embargo and blockade. You will read this Huawei experience in many books on corporare resilience.

Indeed, Huawei knew that without innovation, it would have failed. And it went for innovation, and can now live into the future. Call it the Periwinkle Evolution of Huawei.

Comment on Feed

Comment 1: We don’t have the details yet as to whether the technologies powering Huawei’s latest smartphone are all homegrown. But that’s a small part of the wide message, the big part? We from Africa always pick the wrong lessons from this sort of piece. We will spend time arguing whether the US is superior to China, or whether Huawei is superior to Apple. These points are useless when it comes to things that matter.

The key message is that after the sanctions from the US and others, Huawei and Chinese went to work, they didn’t migrate to western countries or relocate Huawei to the US. This is the most important message for every African, else keep sweating and arguing pointless things.

When your back is against the wall and there’s misgovernance at scale, what do you do? Answer for yourselves!

We want to be the first continent to be developed from afar, the grandest of delusions, it has never happened, and it will never be the case.

We even relocate startups just to get funded…

My Response: Actually, whether it is homegrown is important. Why? If they stocked chips that could last them for the next 5 years (not sure that is possible though as those will become stale), the scale of their ascension will be calibrated. But if they open the veil and everything is homegrown, that is another level.

On Africans moving abroad, that is a fair debate to have. But I do not blame anyone who does. The real deal is what the home nations do with those in the homeland since they have forgotten those abroad. When I was in Johns Hopkins, most countries knew their citizens were doing PhDs in the school; Nigeria did not even know I existed. And when they graduated, most were invited to return home. From Singapore to Brazil, the paths were clear. Where renewing my ordinary Nigerian passport is a hussle, how do you make that decision?

Comment 2: I am happy for Huawei and China but sad for Africa. The Chinese took on the challenge of the US tariffs and sanctions head on and they are gradually coming up with astounding results. Unfortunately, Africans routinely refuse to take responsibility for any of its challenges. African educated elites will runaway to Western countries on account of lack of electricity, insecurity, unemployment and all manner of reasons instead of taking those challenges head on.

In similar vein, African Leaders will keep running from Africa-France summit to Africa-China summit to Africa-Russia summit to Africa-US summit in search of solutions to its underdevelopment instead of confronting the demons of underdevelopment.

The lessons that I would like us to draw from the Huawei debacle is that no one has the monopoly of wisdom. None of the challenges confronting us in Africa is beyond us to solve. But that’s, if and only if, we will take responsibility and take those challenges head on.
Are we ready or we will run away, as usual?

Apple iPhone 15 Having A Moment

Apple continues to thrive: “Apple’s bet on higher-end phones appears to be paying off. As iPhone 15 pre-orders began Friday, demand pushed expected delivery dates on the Pro and Pro Max models into October and November, Bloomberg reports. The rush of orders suggests customers are still willing to pay top dollar for the latest features, underscoring Apple’s strategy of saving its biggest updates for the Pro and Pro Max. Smartphone sales have stagnated worldwide, which has also pushed firms to lean on price increases: The Pro Max starts at $1,199, which is $100 more than last year. Apple said Friday that it will push a software updatefor the iPhone 12 in France after testing flagged higher-than-acceptable radiation levels. Apple says the results stem from “a specific testing protocol used by French regulators” and that the phones, which were pulled from shelves, are safe.”

Now That You’ve Completed the Data Protection Compliance Audit, What Next?

The recent completion of the Data Protection Compliance Audit by the Nigeria Data Protection Commission has prompted numerous organizations to proudly display their badges of compliance on their websites and marketing materials. However, there’s a critical misconception that needs addressing: a data protection compliance audit is not synonymous with being truly compliant.

In this article, we delve into the post-audit landscape, uncovering the vital steps organizations must take after the audit process to genuinely safeguard their data and adhere to the stringent regulations governing data protection. While the audit serves as a pivotal milestone, it is imperative to understand that compliance is an ongoing commitment that goes beyond the submission of a report.

Here we burst the bubble surrounding the audit myth and explore the comprehensive approach required to achieve and maintain genuine data protection compliance. It’s time to acknowledge that a badge on a website does not guarantee the safety and integrity of sensitive data.

Data Protection Compliance Audit is not Compliance:

A data protection compliance audit is a crucial step for organizations in ensuring their adherence to data protection regulations and industry standards. In particular, it is essential to consider the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union and the Nigerian Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) in Nigeria.

Under the NDPR and the new Nigerian Data Protection Act, organizations are required to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data and demonstrate compliance with data protection principles. Conducting a compliance audit allows organizations to assess their current practices and identify any gaps or areas of improvement.

However, it is important to note that passing an audit does not guarantee full compliance. Compliance audits are conducted at a specific point in time and provide a snapshot of an organization’s compliance posture. They typically focus on assessing the organization’s policies, procedures, and technical controls.

One of the key aspects to consider during a compliance audit is data protection governance. Organizations must have clear policies and procedures in place to ensure that personal data is processed lawfully, transparently, and for specified purposes. This includes having data protection policies, data protection impact assessments, and data retention policies.

Furthermore, organizations should evaluate their technical and organizational security measures. This involves assessing the effectiveness of access controls, encryption mechanisms, data backup and recovery procedures, and incident response plans. Auditors may also review the organization’s training and awareness programs to ensure that employees are adequately trained on data protection practices.

While a compliance audit is an essential component of the overall compliance framework, organizations must recognize that compliance is an ongoing process. Data protection regulations are continuously evolving, and new vulnerabilities or risks may emerge post-audit. Therefore, organizations should regularly review and update their data protection practices to remain compliant with changing regulations.

In addition to conducting compliance audits, organizations should implement a comprehensive data protection program that includes regular risk assessments, monitoring of data processing activities, and ongoing staff training. This proactive approach ensures that organizations are prepared to address any new compliance requirements and mitigate potential data breaches or security incidents.

To comply with the GDPR and NDPR/A, organizations should also establish mechanisms for data subject rights, such as providing individuals with access to their personal data and the ability to rectify or erase their data when required. Organizations should have clear procedures in place to handle data subject requests and ensure they are processed within the required timelines.

Overall, a data protection compliance audit, conducted in line with the GDPR and NDPR/A, helps organizations assess their compliance posture. However, it is crucial to view compliance as an ongoing process, where audits are just one component. By implementing robust data protection measures, regularly reviewing practices, and staying updated on regulatory changes, organizations can ensure continuous compliance and protect the privacy rights of individuals.

What should you do after a Data Protection Compliance Audit?

Once an audit is completed, organizations should view it as an opportunity for improvement rather than a final destination. The following actions should be taken post-audit to enhance data protection compliance:

– Identify and address gaps: Analyze the findings from the audit report and identify any areas of non-compliance or vulnerabilities. Develop a plan to address these gaps promptly and effectively.
– Regularly review policies and procedures: Continuously evaluate and update data protection policies and procedures to align with changing regulations and emerging risks. This ensures that the organization remains in compliance with the latest requirements.
– Implement robust data security measures: Strengthen data security measures by adopting encryption techniques, access controls, and regular data backups. Regularly monitor and test the effectiveness of these measures to identify and rectify any weaknesses.
– Train employees: Conduct regular training sessions to educate employees about data protection best practices, the importance of compliance, and their role in safeguarding sensitive information. Foster a culture of data protection within the organization.
– Establish incident response plans: Develop a comprehensive incident response plan that outlines the steps to be taken in the event of a data breach or security incident. Regularly test and update this plan to ensure its effectiveness.

Data Protection Compliance is a Going Concern:

Data protection compliance should not be treated as a one-time event; it should be ingrained into an organization’s culture and processes. Compliance requirements evolve over time, and new risks emerge continuously. Organizations must adopt a proactive approach to compliance by:

– Staying informed: Regularly monitor regulatory updates and changes to data protection laws to ensure ongoing compliance. Engage with legal experts or consultants who specialize in data protection to stay up to date with best practices and emerging trends.
– Conducting internal audits: Implement a robust internal audit program that periodically evaluates data protection practices, identifies gaps, and recommends corrective actions. Internal audits complement external compliance audits and provide organizations with a holistic view of their compliance posture.
– Engaging in continuous improvement: Foster a culture of continuous improvement by encouraging feedback, implementing lessons learned from incidents, and benchmarking against industry standards. Regularly review and refine data protection practices to enhance compliance and mitigate risks effectively.

Conclusion:

While data protection compliance audits play a crucial role in assessing an organization’s adherence to regulations, they should not be viewed as the end goal. Compliance requires ongoing effort, vigilance, and adaptability. Organizations must go beyond audits and take proactive steps to enhance data protection practices continuously. Your badge of compliance is your day-to-day proper collection and processing of data in compliance with the law.
