0

Experts are extremely bullish on Snowfall Protocol (SNW) as it continues to outperform in this bear market.  Phase 1 investors did very well as they experienced a 300% rise in their profits so it’s no wonder they are flocking to buy more during phase 2 of its poresale!

The world economy’s condition and situation seem to be worsening every day. The growing and new phenomenon of cryptocurrencies and the domains of Decentralized finance (De-Fi) has caught people’s interest. This is hardly surprising given that cryptocurrencies still have the power to make investors happy in the face of several challenges and a failing economy. There is a considerable likelihood that traders and potential investors who know about the currency will be able to earn big returns and profits due to the extreme volatility that defines the world of cryptocurrencies. In addition to research, we, as analysts, believe that guiding young brains toward a successful and lucrative career as traders should be one of our top goals.

Cardano (ADA)

As an AMM-driven currency, Cardano (ADA) uses liquidity pools to carry out transactions. Since AMM uses a formula to determine the value of Cardano (ADA) tokens, it has a problem. In contrast, supply and demand must balance a typical market before the price can be set. This is meant to imply that the traditional procedure is frequently applied for a fair examination.

Dogecoin (DOGE) – The Meme Coin

Dogecoin (DOGE), which started as an internet trend, attracted significant attention and buzz for a very long period. Due to the buzz, many people joined Dogecoin (DOGE) and posted tweets, videos, and posts extolling the project’s virtues and how big of a deal it will be. It also attracted a lot of famous people and celebrities. One of the men that seemed to be active in the Dogecoin (DOGE) space was Elon Musk. It was not until Dogecoin (DOGE) became an internet hit that its success truly took off. This essay examines the cryptocurrency’s characteristics and considers its limits rather than disparaging or demonizing it.

The online craze that was Dogecoin (DOGE) gathered enormous clout and publicity for a long time. Due to the buzz, many people came to Dogecoin (DOGE) and posted, tweeted, and made videos about how great a project would be and how big a deal it would be. Numerous famous people and celebrities joined in, and Elon Musk appeared to be considering entering the Dogecoin (DOGE) market.  Dogecoin (DOGE)’s popularity did not take off until it became a phenomenon on the internet. This essay examines the advantages of cryptocurrencies while considering some of their drawbacks rather than criticizing or demonizing them. With Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter, people expect Dogecoin (DOGE) to be vibrant and bull-headed in the near future.

Snowfall Protocol (SNW) – The Cool Kid in Town

Snowfall Protocol (SNW) is primed to rule future endeavors, with its recent presale campaign still making headlines in the cryptocurrency industry. During the phase 1 campaign, Snowfall Protocol (SNW) sold 95,000,000 coins. The estimated cost of $0.005 at the moment is roughly $0.015. Those who opposed the presale during a bear run were very vocal about it, and it was a big success. A common fear among onlookers was what would happen to the new coin in this market if the leading players in the market failed.

The craze about Snowfall Protocol (SNW) is through the roof at the moment, and phase 2 has already begun, and people are rushing to take their piece of the pie. Given the tremendous rise and success of the platform, the price of the Snowfall Protocol (SNW)  tokens is expected to rise as well; and rightly so.

The Bottom-Line

I’m not the one making predictions, but Snowfall Protocol (SNW) is here to stay. Instead, it seems to be accurate. After the presale, one cannot help but follow and invest in Snowfall Protocoll (SNW). Phase 2 is still in progress, so get started right away.  You are going to be very happy as this coin is predicted to do 100X which means, even if you just do half as well as predicted, you will still do very well.  Click the links below to learn more now!

GetBundi – Building A New Africa Based On Technology

0

As the world goes digital, technology has become an integral part of our lives, which is no doubt a huge contributor to human-kind, as it has enabled better communication, better education, the ease of carrying out tasks, and so on.

In the area of education, so many European countries make use of technology to transform the education and learning process of kids/youths. These countries have gone as far as including STEM Education in the school curriculum, which is a form of education that goes beyond school subjects.

It provides students with the necessary skills that govern the way they think and behave. Unfortunately, most countries in Africa invest very little in STEM education, which is why the educational sector of so many African countries is in shambles.

The African continent falls behind the rest of the globe with less than 25% of African students in higher education choosing STEM-related careers. It has been reported that 84 percent of children and adolescents in the African region have not achieved the minimum proficiency for mathematics.

These significant gaps in education no doubt have labor market implications, as education experts worry that many African youths are not learning the skills that they need for 21st-century jobs.

The ability to create, acquire and adapt new technologies is a critical requirement for competing successfully in the global marketplace. It is also a known fact that the African continent has not kept pace with technological advancement.

Africa’s technological gap has been attributed to be the source of its increasing economic deterioration because other developing regions are constantly upgrading their technological capabilities, and the global marketplace has become increasingly competitive.

In a bid to solve all these challenges, GetBundi, an Ed-tech platform, is on a mission, through the use of technology to equip kids/youths in Africa with high-quality, easily available, and reasonably priced STEM learning education and STI digital skills.

The startup currently provides more than 1,008 hours of audio-visual information that spans six years of secondary school work utilizing the west African curriculum, with topics such as; physics, chemistry, mathematics, ICT, data processing, English Language, etc.

Additionally, there are up to three years of revision for competitive exams like the WAEC exam, as well as monthly live and answer sessions.

In addition, Getbundi has Science, Technology, and Innovation capabilities. The STI skills would include training in coding, graphic design, video editing, and digital marketing. Users who successfully finish a course and all associated projects will receive a diploma.

GetBundi intends to integrate three years of JAMB, IELTS, and TOEFL review programmes, into its next product release. Through this initiative, the Ed-tech startup seeks to help African kids overcome primary educational challenges with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.

A close look at developed nations today, one would notice that they have a lot of technological advancements dotted across the country, which is due to the STEM and STI education introduced in the curriculum of schools, which has fostered innovation, and problem-solving skills.

Through GetBundi’s STEM approach to education with the use of technology and a well-equipped syllabus, it will no doubt foster creativity and also inspire young Africans to generate new technological ideas that will solve the country’s problems.

With a goal to upskill 10 million Africans in the next 10 years through the “GETBUNDI vision 2032”, the startup seeks to bridge the skills deficiency gap in Science, and technology and innovation which is key to unlocking Africa’s potential, as well as accelerating economic growth and prosperity in the continent.

GetBundi’s introduction of STEM Education and STI Skills Education in the African region will develop the human talent of young people and innovations, which will bring about positive impacts across various sectors, which is a significant factor to help Africa realize its development potential, thereby transforming the continent from a consuming to a manufacturing one.

GetBundi is no doubt building a new Africa based on technology, as it seeks to reduce the tide of Africa’s brain drain, by creating a world-class education and research infrastructure that will keep the best minds on the continent and also attract new ones.

Through technology, GetBundi is unlocking Africa’s growth potential which requires inclusive strategies that empower everyone regardless of their economic background and literacy level. To solve the continent’s problem, the startup is leaning on Africa’s innate creative capacities by solving problems of the future.

Knowing how helpful technology is in today’s world, GetBundi is prioritizing emerging technology as one of the areas of focus which is expected to play an important role in economic diversification, if properly harnessed.

Conclusion

The role science and technology plays in nation building cannot be underestimated, as it has been used on countless occasions to unlock the potential of nations. Experts disclose that no nation can develop and advance without advancing in areas of science and technology.

What this implies is that a nation that is lacking in the area of science and technology will always play catch up with advanced countries and will forever have to be dependent on countries who are custodians of it.

Through GetBundi’s use of technology to equip African youths with STEM and STI skills, it will transform the continent as these youths who have become fully equipped, will begin to use their innovative ideas to produce innovations that will transform the African continent.

The startup is unlocking Africa’s growth potential through its inclusive strategies that seeks to empower everyone, to enable them to learn these skills regardless of their economic background and literacy level.

For Africa to achieve its true potential, the people in the region need to be empowered with the necessary digital skills which is what GetBundi is doing through the use of technology.

With this strategy, Africa would not just be a consumer of foreign innovations, but would also create home-grown solutions. Therefore, it is not far-fetched to say that GetBundi is building a new Africa based on technology.

Elon Musk and His Twitter Verification of “Jesus Christ”

0

There used to be a time when NTA was a national square in Nigeria. Yes, NTA had great programs like the Masquerade (Zebrudaya, Ramota, etc) and Tales by Moonlight. In the local stations, NTA Aba will feed users with the iconic Willie Willie  horror TV show (Hot Cash). Who did not enjoy Willie Willie? You knew if you watched it, you would possibly be on vigil all-night because sleep would not come. In short, if you see your shadow, you might think it was the ghost from the show.

Indeed, everyone suspected there were ghosts in villages but few had seen them fight humans. Willie Willie gave people the opportunity to experience that extra-terrestrial world on TV: send ghosts to deal with bad people. In America, it would have been rated 18+ but in Nigeria, it was a family show – and kids liked it because when the ghost appeared, villages/cities would thunder: he is out, hold me, and help me. Laughs in abundance because the ghost had disappeared again.

That takes me  to the reality that  Elon Musk and his new brand Twitter verification system have verified “Jesus Christ” on Twitter. Go figure what a man can do.  And I will ask: what drives Elon Musk? As Musk smiles while his verified “Jesus” is making a case that he is not fake, you begin to wonder why can’t Musk verify you as a “billionaire” with all the rights and privileges. 

At least, he has got many newspapers and magazines to write something on religion. Every major newspaper in the world has carried the news, and took time to explain the difference between Elon’s “Jesus” and Jesus, son of David in the Bible. You will hope he keeps it to only Jesus for his own safety! Indeed, verifying other prophets and messengers across religion may not be a parody!

The Good Naira Fight in Nigeria Against US Dollar, Euro and GBP

1
Naira USD

When the Euro, British pound and US dollar are not rising and falling in sync against the Naira, note that something is wrong. In a perfect market system, there will not be any information asymmetry problem as demand and supply can attain an equilibrium point based on an equitable knowledge base. My post yesterday, unbundling a big lie that the US government was phasing out its currency printed before 2021, was received by many as attacking the Naira. In other words, many wanted the fake news to remain provided it helps the Naira.

hy this? The Nigerian Naira is rising against US dollars on a solid rumour: “The improved supply has been attributed to market speculation bordering on unconfirmed reports that the U.S. is ramping up dollar notes printed before 2021, to mitigate the amount of dollars in circulation – a step similar to the one taken by the Nigerian government.” As a result, many people do not want to touch old US dollars, reducing demand and with that, the Naira is rising.

Good People, I  did not get the memo. Indeed, many are happy if we can have a National Lie engineered by speculators (on reverse osmosis)  provided it helps the Naira. Unfortunately, that is not the motivation for me to post here. I try to be balanced, fair  and fact-based. 

I call on the National Orientation Agency (NOA) to do its work in Nigeria. If we have gotten to a state where we will be happy with lies because it helps our currency (of course temporarily), it means we have a real problem to deal with in the nation. 

As I sign-off on this particular topic, get this from me: a sustainable strength of Naira will not come via National Lie on discontinuing old US dollars or the Central Bank of Nigeria fiat regulations, rather, the strength will come from warehouses and factories (old and modern types) in Nigeria. In secondary school, we learnt about that in AO Lawal’s textbook of Economics, specifically in the chapter titled International Trade. There, he explained the balance of trade and balance of payment. He used two key words – favourable and unfavourable to explain the right positining. Your nation must work for a favourable balance of trade and balance of payment.

I am hoping that we get to N200/$ to help me cover my investment in NaijaBigOffer which First Bank marketed to the Diasporas. I was a student at that time and I invested $20,000. That investment was at about N46 per share and Naira was sub-N200/$. If I have to get that $20,000 back to the US today, that investment will not be worth up to $2,000 because the share price, inflation and the currency have collapsed in tandem. This explains why a stable currency does everyone good. And I am hoping we find a path to make that happen instead of feeding on a big National Lie which can go both ways – help and destroy Naira.

U.S. Dollar Drop and other Factors Driving Naira’s Comeback

How Digital Solutions Companies Are Contributing to Africa’s Agricultural Productivity

0

Over the years, the ability and capability of using technology for production purposes has become central to sustainable development discourse. The Covid-19 Pandemic came with eye-opening experiences suggesting how businesses and the global economy will be shaped by digital ingenuity in many years to come. According to a McKinsey report, data-driven application of artificial intelligence will generate 13 Trillion US Dollars in new global economic activity by 2030, possibly determining the next world order.

In the agriculture industry, there is already an awakening to new methods that farmers could use to grow crops, rare animals and produce foods all year round without entirely depending on their labour or the natural forces. Digital-data expansion has introduced a farming techniques such as Precision Agriculture and Climate-Smart Farming.

Precision Agriculture is the use of data and digital technologies to monitor and optimize agricultural production process and increase farm management efficiency and agricultural sustainability. Climate-smart Agriculture on the other hand aims to enhance a sustainable food system through increased productivity, resilience and adaptability to climate crises and reduced Greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.

Both precision agriculture and climate-smart farming have contributed to an increase in the amount of data generated through farming and the entire agricultural value chain, and they also produced a repository of knowledge that covers various data points and insights that can help farmers to make informed decisions and outsmart nature. The application of data analytics in agriculture is projected to grow to 1.5 Billion USD at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.2 percent by 2025. It is also expected that the global agritech startup market would grow from $17.5billion in 2019 to $40billion by 2027.

Agritech Expansion in Africa’s Startup Ecosystem

In Africa many startups have developed to provide agricultural digital solutions to improve farm yield and food security of the continent. Ghana, Kenya and Nigeria are major contributing countries of digital agriculture in Africa. The three countries account for 60 percent of the active agritech startups in the continent. These startups are solving food security problems in Africa by providing farmers with digital solutions that enable them to improve their yield and have access to funds and the market.

Zenvus Technology

Zenvus is an Agritech business under Fasmicro limited that helps farmers to optimize and transform their farms and improve their yields. Zenvus’ technology comprises computational algorithm and electronic sensors that allows farmers to collect soil fertility and crop vegetative health data to deliver precision agriculture at scale. It then uses the aggregated and anonymized data to deliver financial services to farmers.

From farm management to pricing, funding and marketing as well as risk management, Zenvus provides data and insights that enables farmer to reach informed decision as regard what, how, and when to farm. The technology has in-built GPS, compass and XL making it possible to map farm boundaries which could be useful during loan and insurance applications.

Hello Tractor

Equipment leasing is way farmers are overcoming the problem of lack of finance to procure capital intensive technology. Hello Tractor is the app Auma is using to improve farming across 13 countries including Nigeria, Kenya and Tanzania. This innovation is often described as Uber for tractors. The app provides digital platform for tractor owners to rent their machines to smallholder farmers in their area and allow these farmers to pool together to rent a vehicle at affordable rates. Installed in these tractors are GPS devices that can enable owners to monitor their location and activity.

Jehiel Oliver, CEO of Hello tractor noted; ‘’since launching in 2014, the company has served about half a million farmers, and 55 percent of the app’s customers were using a tractor for the first time’’. According to Oliver, Mechanization is so important to be a productive farmer. But, smallholder farmers have labour and time constraints where they have a very short window to plant and if they don’t plant on time, they lose yield. ‘’So this technology is a way to get this expensive equipment to farmers’’ he noted.

Challenges and way forward

Culture lag constitutes a major setback to Africa’s agritech ecosystem. Despite the increasing pace of digital solutions in the continent many farmers still struggle to scale and could not have significant improvements in their lives due to lack of institutions, structures and cultural frameworks that can enhance adaptation and localization of these solutions. Thus, most of these solutions still look foreign to many farmers in the continent.

According to a study by Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Co-operation (CTA), more than 33 million smallholder farmers in Africa have registered for some form digital services but less than a third use them enough to feel the full benefits.

Furthermore, lack of access to the Internet and the inability of smallholder farmers to afford procuring or even renting digital technologies have been a major source of discouragement to them.

Major investments need to be made in building ICT infrastructure and improving digital literacy in rural areas. Government should consider giving better incentives and more robust support systems through tax relief, subsidy, bond and grants to startups aiming to contribute to the food basket and the wealth of the nation.
