This Summer of Code thingy will surely bring more stuff to the open source community. Though i ain't a coder, but i don't see a Nigerian winning this ASAP. |

Well, if we can develop ourselves and be exposed... I think we can take it as a challenge. |

The nurseries for software innovation (universities) are nothing but book-cramming houses (and for God's sake 1970s books!) In this age of ever dynamic computer innovations, I used to wonder why we are still so backward. The so called NITDA is nothing but a seminar seminar body - no innovation, nothing nothing. It's very funny recently one of my cousins (she studied Computer Science) finished her youth service last month. I found it so funny to know that she did not even know how to open her yahoo e-mail box; and same goes for 90% of other graduates too. |

Its too much, book book book.. less practical(if at all). I guess wat they are breeding. Since wat people value most in nigeria is certificate not capability. Well think its on the way to a change. And very soon its all gonna be story wen dey see that they are not market-worthy. Good luck Nigeria. |
