Saw a report on CNN the other day that Satellite Internet is coming to Africa, come 2010. Basically, a group out to get internet to the very remote places of Africa for cheap. Let's see which gets there first. Something I look forward to taking advantage of. |

maibe the CCTV project would benefit. |
Re: Nigeria's Internet Future by lucabrasi(m): 4:00pm On Feb 03, 2009 |
cctv is just a minuscule part of the i.t revolution in nigeria,i think the it human resources is actually where the big boom will happen in nigeria with that development, and tele sales as a very viable by product which will provide employment and skills to millions of nigerian youths, india has had their turn and its ours now, especially as we are not only the most populous but our english is clearer than that of the indians and most other nations where these tele sales skills have been outsourced,the yahoo boys will also be gainfully employed as software testers and develop the yahoo skills in a positive way |

The way I see it, having public CCTV program without this makes no sense financially. I mean it will cost so much that it would make no sense. Same with the free internet for all projects in some state in the East without this handled. I am assuming that the government has been expecting this for some time and this could likely be reason why CISCO is getting involved. I mean networking with no wired cables in place to help in transferring data from one end to the other; I was wondering how much CISCO was willing to invest in such in a plan and what it was going to get out of it at the end of the day. With the state of IT in Nigeria, I believe we have a long way to go but we will definitely see a huge influx of skills from outside when this finally happens. Countries like Kenya, Ghana and so many others already took care of most of this, that is why they have been able to import some jobs in the service sector to help boost their economy, and I think if this finally happens in Nigeria, Nigerian talents from around the world, will run in to take advantage of it. |

What the ___ does CCTV have to do with the international submarine communication cable?? |

Re: Nigeria's Internet Future by mustafar1: 4:37pm On Feb 03, 2009 |
seun, it would help the transmission of the feed to the command center, a lot more real time. is that simple enough or do we need to draft our communication/IT gurus to this thread? |
Re: Nigeria's Internet Future by Kobojunkie: 4:39pm On Feb 03, 2009 |
must_a_far: Precisely, You have seen those Traffic lights with cables all over the place, right? and then you have seen those with just one or two cables running to the pole and done. Well, having a network in Nigeria makes life easier, faster, and ultimately CHEAPER for all involved. We have been relying on expensive satellite connections, and running a public CCTV program, such as what you have in London, on that makes absolutely no sense, considering the cost. But once we plug into the global grid, we will see costs fall, and internet spread even to remote areas. This will have great impact on communication. |

this here, when finally completed is what we would consider as improvement and not xmas light on flipping ikorodu road. |
Re: Nigeria's Internet Future by Kobojunkie: 4:51pm On Feb 03, 2009 |
This was what Abiola and his gang were supposed to have worked on back in the 70’s/80’s. I do hope this time it becomes a reality and does not get caught up in the usual Nigerian-ness of things down there. Worse, I hope Yar adua does not come up to claim this as his victory for the people. Lol |
Re: Nigeria's Internet Future by mustafar1: 4:59pm On Feb 03, 2009 |
Kobojunkie: hopefully the ITT ghost wont hunt this one down. i could see its advantages already. no more, "hello se ooun gbo mi, se ooun gbo mi" whenever i call naija. if he claims it has his victory, we would remind him that its a fluke, cos it wasnt part of his 7 point rhetoric(or was it?) whichever way he'll still not get the long end of the stick. |

Will this be run on an electric generator? |
Re: Nigeria's Internet Future by Kobojunkie: 10:44pm On Feb 03, 2009 |
must_a_far: Roflmao!!! I have not called that country for the past couple of months simply because of that. I can not stand it. It's even funnier when friends at home boast of how clearer there reception is. I am like " How can it be clear when I can hardly hear a thing from my end?" roflmao!!! siddon wait now. if this happens this year, next election, someone go come out say na im do am! Lol Kenezi: You silly twit!!! ROFLMAO!!! You just could not handle me being happy that highspeed cable will soon be available in Nigeria. You just had to burst my dream bubble with that fact, didn't you?? ROFLMAO!! |

If this news is true, why are we still looking to spend Naira 500 Billion on another Satellite? How many Satellites does the country need and for what? |
Re: Nigeria's Internet Future by BOSS6: 12:57pm On Feb 04, 2009 |
As usual - very ignorant rantings. Someone says she hasnt called Nigeria in a long time and yet she thinks she knows how good the telephony system is, what a poor soul.
Who wants them international Nigerians to come home to take advantage of this project, see hypocrisy at work o, as if they are the only capable hands needed to work on whatever the project brings, hypocrites. |
Re: Nigeria's Internet Future by Kobojunkie: 1:12pm On Feb 04, 2009 |
.B.O.S.S.: I wait for the day your posts make sense! Till then, ask your God for help! |
Re: Nigeria's Internet Future by BOSS6: 1:38pm On Feb 04, 2009 |
Kobojunkie: HONESTLY, YOU JUST SPOKE MY MIND ABOUT YOURSELF AND YOUR OTHER IDs |
Re: Nigeria's Internet Future by Kobojunkie: 1:42pm On Feb 04, 2009 |
.B.O.S.S.: I seriously doubt your mind can come up with that. That you go from thread to thread just to attack my person, and others who do not agree with you, impersonate folks on different sites so you can claim a brownie point or two in your post, already tells me all I need to know about how your mind works. |
Re: Nigeria's Internet Future by BOSS6: 2:15pm On Feb 04, 2009 |
attacking your person? that will be a waste of time doing that, dont u get it? |
Re: Nigeria's Internet Future by Kobojunkie: 5:28pm On Feb 05, 2009 |
. . . . and he continues to prove me right! roflmao!! |
