Good News For Africa's Internet!
Finally Africa now has its own unique web address .africa, this is like the .com. Africa Union has all the credit for this new development. I applaud AU for this great achievement and i also want to seize this opportunity to remind AU that there is still more work to be done as far as Africa's Internet and Technology is concerned; we need our own SAR Value as a people and as a Continent.
SAR means specific absorption Rate of a mobile phone, its the measurement of how much radiation a mobile phone emits during use, I pointed out few years ago that Continents like North America and Europe have their own SAR value (1.6 and 2.0 w/kg respectively) hence Africa too should look into standardizing or defining the SAR value of mobile phones that come into Africa. Click the link below for a comprehensive explanation on SAR value.

The Nigeria Economy
Nigeria is the largest Africa country and it has the biggest Economy as a result of its population size. Nigerians are hard working people, Intelligent people who are committed to whatever they are doing in life. One would have thought that the Nigeria Economy would have been the best in the whole continent but its a different case all together. This is so largely due to political neglect of the huge potentials in the country of over 170 million people.
It is true that Government alone cannot face all the issues of a country hence society sometimes turns attention to NGOs and other bodies in the society for the development of any country. Its on this note, that QHNet think NGOs and Multi National companies in Nigeria are not doing enough to contribute to the development of the Nigerian Economy which they have so much benefited from.
It is of great concern to see companies like MTN, GLO, Maltina, Peak Milk etc ALWAYS organizing music concerts, dance hall competitions, talent hunts to mention but a few programs for Nigerians. Its a good thing to organize these events but a closer look at them reveals these events or programs are solely for entertainment purposes only! hence 99% of their ambassadors are from the entertainment Industry (Music and Movie Industry) and it should be of great concern because these companies or organizations have direct impact on the Economy and the Economy can not be developed by entertainment alone! What happened to the Agricultural sector? What about the Information and telecommunication sector which some of these companies like MTN, GLO, Airtel, Etisalat operates in?
The Nigeria Music Industry is doing very well because of the assistance and empowerment from some of the companies and NGOs mention above. Their Ambassadors are given large some of money and sometimes they are given contracts that will facilitate whatever they are doing ( like in music where and artist will be signed to a record label for years with monetary benefits and the assistance he or she needs to come out as a successful musician). So we have Musicians and Movie stars who are very successful and widely travelled as a result of the empowerment and support from these companies. But we have seen that entertainment alone can not develop the Economy, so I ask again what about the Youths and persons into large scale farming? what about those in the ICT sector? Because these are sectors that have direct impacts on the Economy unlike entertainment.
QHNet believe those in the Information and telecommunication (ICT), Agricultural (large scale farming) sector deserves the same attention and empowerment given to Entertainers. I am thus calling on MTN, GLO, Airtel, Etisalat, Maltina, Peak Milk etc and the Nigerian Government to look into this issues urgently now especially now that the current administration is concerned with development of the Nigeria Economy. This is an urgent issue so QHNet also wants to draw the attention of Minister of Science and Technology Christopher Ogbonnaya Onu together with well meaning members of the National Assembly to lend their support to this course.
Together we can and we will make the Nigeria Economy great again, God bless Nigeria
Before the US presidential elections, Trump was known for his very blunt opinions on issues even on National isues. He has never pretended about what he stands for and what he believes in, Trump made it clear during some of his campaign promises that he was going to ban Muslim nations who supported radical terrorist groups like ISIS etc, he didn't hide his disdain for criminal Mexicans who are going to the US to commit all types of crime, hence his proposed wall on the Eastern borders of the US.
True to his words, President Trump immediately carried out some of his campaign promises to the surprise of many. But i personally think that America's reaction to President Trump's actions and decisions is hypocritical and grossly annoying: Trump already started during is campaign that he would do or carry out the things he his doing right now before majority of Americans voted him into the white house. Trump is a very honest person who believes in whatever he consider right or worth doing, those protesting against his administration should wake up to the new normal. President Trump will complete his four or Eight years in office and i believe America will be 'Great Again' under his administration.
