Chimamanda Adichie, the Odeluwa Abba: One Who Writes for the World

0

My early decision to study at the university of Ibadan was generally impacted by the collection of literatures I was exposed to as a pupil in the foundational school. Onward, my penchant for the Nigeria’s premier University was often projected with a show of devout resoluteness. Consequently, I was often described as UI-obsessed by my peers.

Many of the books I was made to read as a teenager, some with a threat of being beaten up and others based on my personal volition, were authored by notable names that were invariably linked to the University of Ibadan as the school’s alumni or retired teachers. The list comprised of Nigerian first generation writers such as Wole Soyinka, Chinua Achebe, JP Clark, Ola Rotimi, etc whose contributions transcend schorlaship and literary appreciation to politics and sociocultural milieu.

Another influence, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, is in her own league and has dignifiedly extended the legacy of the first generation writers. Hailed from Abba, Anambra state in the southeastern part of Nigeria, Chimamanda Adichie has contributed to knowledge and spiced the global stage through her literary works, public lectures and speeches.

From her début, Purple Hibiscus, to Half of a yellow Sun, based on Nigerian political history, and then to Americana which got much eclat in the US, Adichie has projected herself as a highly imaginative juggler of words. Her TEDx speech, Danger of a single story, brought about a paradigm shift in storytelling.

However, her début novel seem to have the most striking influence on my childhood. Adichie’s constructive characterization of Kambili and picturesque description of the University of Nigeria (NSUKKA), Enugu in  Purple Hibiscus offered me a fresh perspective about diligence, romance, and education in the southeastern part of Nigeria.

The Nigerian-American novelist and award-winning global celebrity author was conferred a chieftaincy title in recognition of her contributions to the welfare and development of her hometown during the 45th Ofala festival and 80th birthday celebration of HRH. Igwe Sir Leonard Nwankwo Ezeh (Eze Abba) on Friday December 30, 2022. Present at the ceremony was the Governor of Anambra State, Charles Soludo, amongst other dignitaries.

Adichie’s newest title “Odeluwa Abba” which means “The one who writes for the world” is indeed a well deserved honour.

Who Holds the Key to Africa’s Radical and Stunted Growth in 2023 and Beyond?

0

According to United Nations estimates, Africa’s population was 1,420, 587,823 as of Friday, December 30, 2022, as tracked in real time by Worldmeters. According to the source, this equates to 16.72% of the total world population. Several sources also indicate that children, women, and youth make up a large proportion of the population, indicating the continent’s youth and the ability of women to continue reproducing in multiple folds. This has always been linked to the continent’s potential contribution of an additional 1.1 billion people to the global population by 2050.

Aside from the continent’s population size, it also has several natural resources that have yet to be fully utilized by political and business leaders for the genuine benefit of Africans and residents. The continent contains 40% of the world’s gold and up to 90% of its chromium and platinum reserves. Africa has the world’s largest reserves of cobalt, diamonds, platinum, and uranium.

It is a continent that has been linked to a number of socioeconomic and political conflicts and crises as a result of a failure to identify individual differences holistically and develop better strategies for establishing mutual interests and benefits. Despite this, the continent has never been too neglected by countries in the global north and some in the global south, including China and Iran, for natural resource exploration and people harnessing for economic growth through migration.

A quick navigational search using “Africa” as of December 30, 2022 yields approximately 5.8 billion results in published information. The continent came in second to Europe, which had 6.1 billion results (see Exhibit 1). Examining Africans in terms of people, professionals, business leaders, and political leaders yields a variety of results. Our search yielded more results for African people and professionals than for business and political leaders. We also discovered that opportunities in Africa produced more results than opportunities in African countries (see Exhibit 2).

One of the most important implications of these outcomes is that the world is very interested in Africans and African professionals. With this, our analyst observes that Africa’s growth is in the hands of its people, particularly professionals in various sectors and industries. Our analyst also notes that having a strong interest in opportunities in Africa indicates that people all over the world are interested in advancing Africa, which is an opportunity that the people of the continent must seize wholeheartedly as it prepares to join the rest of the world in 2023.

The poor performance of African political leaders in comparison to business and professional leaders suggests that the world does not value political leaders as dominant players in exploring Africa and its investment and/or business climate. It demonstrates the importance of business leaders and professionals forming strong alliances across sectors and industries in 2023 in order to assist pan-African political leaders in righting the wrongs in the areas of socioeconomic indicators. Already, Africa appears to be in the grip of a severe debt crisis at the state, regional, and national levels. According to our analyst, escaping the debt trap will necessitate multidimensional and multicentric strategies from business leaders and professionals across the continent.

We have seen how political leaders have visited the West and Europe in the belief that the two geopolitical powers have solutions to the continent’s numerous socioeconomic and political challenges. We have seen how countries on both geopolitical axes scrambled for natural resource exploration in 2022 through their business investors. We’ve also seen a large number of Africans migrate to the global north and some countries in the global south in search of greener pastures. In all aspects, Africa requires radical changes to achieve radical growth in 2023 and beyond. And it is up to business leaders, professionals, and pan-African political leaders to make it happen. Failure to use the key judiciously in 2023 and beyond would have disastrous consequences for Africa’s development by 2050.

Polygon (MATIC) scalability upgrade coming soon, Dogecoin (DOGE) drops to 10-day low as Elon steps down, Snowfall Protocol (SNW) to go live in January 2023

0

The crypto market is constantly evolving and growing, with newer coins and tokens appearing on the scene every day. While some of these projects have potential, others are not as sustainable or viable. In this article, we will discuss the current developments of Polygon (MATIC) and Dogecoin (DOGE), and how they compare to Snowfall Protocol (SNW), a newly established cryptocurrency in the market.

Polygon (MATIC) to launch Polygon zKEVM

Polygon (MATIC) recently announced that they would be launching Polygon zkEVM in the coming year, which is a “huge leap forward” in the realm of zero-knowledge (ZK) technology. Polygon (MATIC) said in a news release that zkEVM would be the first Ethereum-compatible scaling solution that utilizes zero-knowledge proofs, making it compatible with all current smart contracts, developer tools, and wallets. The developers of the Polygon (MATIC) protocol revealed in a blog post last Wednesday that they have released the second testnet for their zkEVM network. The public testnet has been released by the Polygon (MATIC) team to identify areas for improvement, and the team plans to make the offering open-source and permissionless. According to Polygon (MATIC), this is the last testnet before the introduction of the mainnet. Despite this, Polygon (MATIC) has seen a 62% decline in its daily trading volume during the past week. In contrast to the previous two weeks when $525M was traded, the last 24 hours saw $361 million in Polygon (MATIC) trade exchanges.

Dogecoin (DOGE) drops after Elon Musk’s Twitter poll

Dogecoin (DOGE) has lost over 10% of its value recently, selling at $0.07, after Elon Musk’s newest Twitter Poll asked if he should resign as Twitter’s CEO. Initially, Musk said he would follow the poll’s conclusion. The price of Dogecoin (DOGE) has been trending down since early December, but the recent drop can be attributed largely to events on Twitter. It’s consistent with a pattern that began when the price of Dogecoin (DOGE) hit an all-time high of $0.73 in 2021. Dogecoin’s (DOGE) price this year is still much behind its all-time high of May 2021. Notably, rumors that Musk will use Dogecoin (DOGE) as the payment coin of Twitter contributed to a spike in the price of Dogecoin (DOGE) to above $0.14 in late October. Several more articles have portrayed Dogecoin (DOGE) as heading toward a Twitter wallet integration. As for whether Musk actually meant it with this recent survey, that is still up in the air.

Snowfall Protocol (SNW) prepares for a successful launch

With Snowfall Protocol’s (SNW) innovative bridging technology, users can swiftly and conveniently exchange assets. Snowfall Protocol (SNW) is a novel protocol developed to facilitate the mass adoption of blockchain-based applications. The creators of Snowfall Protocol (SNW) believe that the ideal way for blockchain to reach its full potential is if everyone who wants to, can benefit from their favourite projects without worrying about technical barriers. Since its presale launch two months ago, Snowfall Protocol’s (SNW) exceptional performance has been attributed to these innovative features. As of this writing, Snowfall Protocol (SNW) has raised $3 million over the course of two phenomenally successful presale sessions.

The value of Snowfall Protocol (SNW) is expected to increase by 500% in the next year, demonstrating exponential growth and providing substantial profits for investors. At its current Phase 3 pricing of $0.14. Snowfall Protocol (SNW) is still an incredible bargain for investors. Experts are optimistic about Snowfall Protocol’s (SNW) exceptional performance in the future months, and the presale’s last stage will end on January 3, 2023. Post the third presale’s end, Snowfall Protocol (SNW) will be finally launched to the public with an expected price of $0.2.

Top 3 Crypto Projects Holding Great Value In The Market: Big Eyes Coin, Filecoin, and Uniswap

0

Since the beginning blockchain technology have helped to push the large-scale adoption of cryptocurrencies and those developments have curated some innovative and tech-savvy platforms. These are exciting platforms in the crypto world and bring investors high earners and value on the market.

This article discusses three crypto projects that are achieving impressive levels of success coveted by others in the market: Big Eyes Coin (BIG), Filecoin (FIL), and Uniswap (UNI).

Big Eyes Coin (BIG): This Token Will Be A Classic

Many meme crypto projects do not have a place in the crypto space as a result of numerous scams over the years and some of them have no real-world use case.

Big Eyes Coin (BIG) is the latest meme crypto project that will serve as an example of meme tokens in the market by providing utility and increasing blockchain adoption. Big Eyes Coin (BIG) is an Ethereum-based token with DeFi capabilities aimed at diversification, value creation, and provision of wealth opportunities for its users.

The token, although new, has started to gain a lot of popularity and has already raised almost 12 million dollars before its official launch.

The Big Eyes Coin (BIG) ecosystem will majorly feature NFTs as this is one of the major features the network plans to use for self-sustainability and hypergrowth, according to its whitepaper.

Users will enjoy exclusive NFT events and can take part in NFT projects aimed at the top 10 in the world. Big Eyes Coin (BIG) also plans to donate to ocean charities and has set up a charity wallet for this purpose.

BIG tokens are the native cryptocurrency tokens of the platform which will be available on decentralized exchanges after launch. The token can be used to facilitate activities such as transaction fee payment, storage of value, trading, and voting.

Filecoin (FIL): Utilizing Blockchain For Data

Users who are familiar with cloud-based sharing platforms like Dropbox will understand how important file storage is. Filecoin (FIL) is a Blockchain-based file-sharing and storage network that introduces Blockchain technology to file storage.

The major difference between Filecoin (FIL) and others like Dropbox is that users can rent out their storage space for money.

The network leverages Blockchain technology to provide a decentralized method of storing and sharing data.

Filecoin (FIL) is one of the fastest-growing projects in the market as well as a serious competitor.

Filecoin (FIL) provides blockchain users with a very efficient approach to data storage with retrieval speeds that exceed that of industry leaders like Amazon. Data stored on the Filecoin (FIL) network is encrypted, so users can rest assured that their information is safe.

Interplanetary File System, IPFS, a P2P file storage and retrieval protocol, is where the Filecoin (FIL) is built upon. Filecoin (FIL) improves IPFS by bringing financial advantages to the protocol.

By allowing users to pay and receive money for the storage, retrieval, and distribution of data, Filecoin (FIL) improves the usability of IPFS. Two major miners maintain the Filecoin (FIL) network: Storage and Retrieval Miners. Storage miners provide storage while retrieval miners fetch data and deliver it to users who request them.

Uniswap (UNI): Pioneering Major Changes In The Market

Uniswap (UNI) was created specifically to allow users to exchange ERC-20 tokens in a trustless, transparent, and permissionless manner.

Uniswap (UNI) is one of the top decentralized exchanges (DEXs) in the world that offers traders a safer alternative to centralized exchanges by being non-custodial. This means that

It tackles most of the problems in the market and also provides businesses access to liquidity as well as developers. Developers can generate funding for their Blockchain projects by seeding a liquidity pool using Uniswap (UNI).

The UniSwap (UNI) network is flexible, censorship-resistant, secure, and private.

Uniswap (UNI) provides open access to the market through a tool known as the automated market maker (AMM) protocol that allows its users to trade with a smart contract. Tokens can also be added to UniSwap through the UniSwap V2 router contract.
