Nigerian Silicon Valley – Ikeja Computer Village?

By
Tekedia Editors

When last did you visit the Nigeria Silicon Valley(really), albeit the Ikeja Computer Village?  Have you seen any improvement in the quality of the production and knowledge generation?

The truth remains that the Ikeja Computer Village is not producing any major knowledge. It is still dominated by trade and distribution. We think the federal government should examine that cluster and give it a roadmap so that it can develop in the right direction.

From sale of pirated software to phone, Nigeria needs to clear that image that this place could be our hope to develop, creatively, in the digital world. We need something better and now is the time to begin that process.

With the likes of  IT World Limited, , Slot Systems, Gafunk, Tripplesea, Capitol, Brian Integrated Systems,  etc providing employments and other opportunities in this place, we challenge the government to assist ICT firms in this place to take their visions to the next level. A key element is a constant power supply which can help them to invest in the development than mere sales and distribution. Let it be understood that this is a cluster and requires special consideration from government.

But do not be deceived people, the Nigerian Silicon Village is in Obasanjo Space Center, Abuja. You do not expect Computer Village with illiterates to lead Nigeria. Nigerian government is doing something great in Abuja with NiComSat and NASENI and that is what we must refer as our valley.

According to Nielsen’s corporate image monitor that measures people’s perception of the image of the country’s leading firms, largest consumer goods firm by sales.

Obama 2012 Strategy – Facebook, Youtube, FourSquare and Twitter

It is no news – Obama has filed paperwork to contest the 2012 election. And he announced it. How? The digital way, of course. He emailed, he youtubed, he tweeted, and what have you!

And he is lucky. Why?

Tekedia  is very much convinced that Obama will win his second term as American President.

Our political permutation has been for the Republicans to take control of the House so that the blames will be shared. Without that, Obama WILL not win his second term.

It is going to be similar to the time of  Bill Clinton when he was on the verge of losing his second term based on the issues in his first term. Then suddenly, the Republicans took control of congress and Americans were able to distribute the blame. Clinton survived and won re-election.

With the results of last election, Obama cannot be a happier man. Now, he can argue that the Republicans are to be blamed, also. Do not be deceived, the economy is not getting better anytime soon, especially the job market. Why? The future of commerce and industry does not look like the one where many people will be employed. As technology improves productivity, the world will witness major dislocations in job market.

This has nothing to do with creating jobs. It just that the jobs are not created to hire humans, but machines. As more firms take their services to the web, where automation rules, more people will continue to look for jobs. The reality is that companies are creating opportunities, but productivity and machines are taking them over humans.

Ask yourself the last time you heard of the word “typist”. Most were trained in that field, but word processing applications have made us better typists than the pros. Do we still have the professional photo studios? All these fields will phase out in coming years as technology penetrates and people do these jobs themselves.

The world is being redesigned.

Yet, and forget the economics – Obama will win with Facebook , Youtube,  Foursquare and Twitter. He has hired social media consultants. A new Obama 2012 app is coming that can target you and give you all the statistics you need. By geographically mapping, it is possible they will know how to micro-target you. This election, forget the facts, it is social media that will do all the things.
