The widening IT gap among Igbo Youths - A time for a rethink.
By Don Ebubeogu

When the Nigerian newscape was awash with the news of the acquisition of Paystack, one of the headlines that got me thinking about Igbo Youths was the one by The Oasis Reporters that wrote - ‘Phone Pressing Nigerian Youths’ Develop Paystack App, Sell It To Stripe For $200M.

Depending on the exchange rate, the deal is about N76B, for a business that has intangible assets, run by dreadlocks, torn jeans and painted fingernails wearing youths.

The news about Paystack took the Nigerian tech environment by storm and got a lot of Nigerians to take a more serious look at IT.

It has not been Paystack alone, Nigerian startups like Kudi, Tizeti, Flutterwave, Wallets Africa, 54gene, and Kobo360 have gone on to raise million-dollar funds from strategic investors who believe in the Nigerian startup ecosystem.

Just this morning, I read about FLUX. Flux is a mobile app for sending and receiving money, making and accepting payments in Africa, developed by software engineers - Ben Eluan and Osezele Orukpe.

An interesting article about them by Techcrunch reads, “a factor that eventually led to founding Flux was the university’s budding tech talent ecosystem, which is teeming with stories of prominent startups launched by alumni. Some include Jobberman, Africa’s largest recruitment site; Kudi and Cowrywise, two YC-backed companies and Farmcrowdy among others.

“These founders came from our school and it was a huge motivation for us. We always knew that we wanted to build something but we weren’t sure what this would be. We eventually landed on Joppa, then Flux,” Eluan shared.

In fact, according to Techpoint Africa, OAU alumni have founded startups that have cumulatively raised $1 million more than other alumni from other universities in West Africa.

OAU is fast becoming the Nigerian version of Stanford University, which gave birth to Silicon Valley.

When Chukwuemeka Fred Agbata Jnr, fondly called CFA within the IT corridors visited my office, he painted a picture of hopelessness among the youths, politicians and entrepreneurs of Igbo extraction who have not shown considerable interest in positively pushing IT development within the Igbo business environment.

As the Regional Director of Founder Institute in West Africa, CFA is an IT startup evangelist whose gospel has been ignored severally by our region because the youths are using their access and time on the internet negatively while the politicians and entrepreneurs are bereft of the inherent potentials of IT.

The Founder Institute is an American business incubator, entrepreneur training and startup launch program that was founded in Palo Alto, California in 2009.

While discussing with CFA, he told me about some startups in eCommerce in Nigeria that drive volume sales averaging about $50,000 daily with just their laptops and software. Online trading in Nigeria has grown in bounds within the last 18 months, fueled majorly by Covid-19 protocol.

It is ironic that as we are busy building more lockup shops with poor ventilation and illumination, besides foul-smelling dump sites and rats infested gutters, other regions are gradually positioning themselves technologically by using IT to stimulate transactions on goods and services, in the comfort of their homes and or small cosy office that looks more like a modern coffee shop with reading tables.

It was therefore a huge sign of relief when Uchenna Onwuamaegbu Ugwu organized 6 weeks FREE training program in Onitsha for girls, which she called Digital Literacy Journey. She taught then computer appreciation, website designing and coding in general.

Uche was the lady that trained and took some secondary school girls to Silicon Valley and won a Gold medal in the 2018 World Technovation Challenge in the USA.

A good number of a new crop of billionaires in Nigeria will be drawn from agropreneurs and IT startups. Saddled with limited landmass for massive commercial agriculture, Igbo Youths should focus on the agric value chain and IT to develop a competitive advantage in both fields.

Information technology is the fourth revolution that has dramatically changed the lives of individuals and businesses throughout the world. It can change yours financially.

Let's do more in South East. This is a call for a joint action.

OF THE GREATEST NIGERIAN STUDENTS

WHICH WAY UNN?

WHICH WAY LIONS AND LIONESSES?

Are these things what we signed for?

Are these things really the reason we came out emasse to elect a leader?

Why are we still being oppressed?

What is happening?

First, it was the late course registration fee that was increased from ₦500 to ₦10000. Imagine adding a whooping sum of ₦9500 to what it used to be before.

And to believe that this thing is happening under the nose of the people we elected to speak for us is nothing to even write home about.

As if that's not enough, the acceptance fees which used be ₦25000 suddenly increased to ₦30000.

Isn't it obvious that next session school fees will probably be increased?

And we have an SUG executive members who claim to be the first digital executive.

Indeed,we can see the digitialized government and their laudable incompetence in the office.

The only feat they had achieved so far is the printing and selling of Nosemask for ₦200 to students who came for Post-Ume.

Change of course fee which used to be ₦50000 has now been increased to ₦75000. That is almost 50% increment.

Which way UNN?

Are we going to continue like this?

Our student representatives have totally failed us.

Nobody cares about us.

The environment of the school has been so unkempt for over two months now. The waste bins have been overflowing with refuse, and those incharge had been keeping their eyes shut to it.

Aga m ekwu olee hara olee?

If our SUG officials cannot stand up and do something about these unhealthy developments, they should just resign.

We are tired of being preyed upon.

One day, students will start paying MATCHING-GROUND fees and nobody will speak against it.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

We cannot incessant increment of the fees we pay.

Earlier today, a new update has it that the examination date has been reshuffled to hold on the 25th February 2021.

The course, AGR101 is a faculty course for all 100L students in the faculty of Agriculture.

Meanwhile, the official time table in the school portal states that the exam holds on 2nd March.

At the moment, many students concerned with this course are yet to come to terms with this latest development.

As at the time of filling this report the school website is yet to update this recent information.

This man whose picture appears below is the owner of Great Divine Suite Odenigwe with 74 self-contained rooms and about 150 students living therein.

Unbelievably, this man was approached for reduction of rent for students as a way of reducing the bad effects of Covid on the side of the Nigerian Students and instead of reduction in Price of the rent, this young Landlord gave all his tenants a free one year rent and told them to only be paying their NEPA bills and nothing more for this year.

It's important to let the world know that there are still good people and they are not far from us. Every Nigerian student is enjoined to pray for God's plenty blessing on this man as we pray and expect other landlords to at least consider reduction in Price of rent.

I am aware that the President of the Students Union UNN, Comr. Ani Stephen is on his toes to make sure there are more landlords to follow this beautiful step of this our brother.

God bless every kind heart and bless every giving hand all over the world.

Good must be done and evil avoided.

THE UNIVERSITY OF NIGERIA TO UNVEIL THE GIGANTIC “SHOW THE LIGHT” HAND STATUE

The University of Nigeria administration under the leadership of its Vice Chancellor, Prof. Charles Igwe, will, on Tuesday, February 9, 2021, remove the drapes over the newly sculpted hand statue in the roundabout between the University of Nigeria Library and the Departments of Nutrition and Dietetics/Home Science and Management, Nsukka. The unveiling and commissioning by the sponsor will then take place shortly thereafter.

It is on record that the sculpting of the 20-foot hand statue was sponsored by an alumnus of the University, Apostle Nnamdi Stanley Mbaigbo, through his company, Tropical Gate Limited, from January 20, 2020 to December 7, 2020 at a very admirable and respectable cost.

The original idea behind the sculpting of the statue was initiated in 2014 by Jeff Unaegbu, a graduate of the Department of Mass Communication, University of Nigeria, who is presently an Assistant Chief Cinematographer of the Institute of African Studies, University of Nigeria, Nsukka. The site for the manifestation of the idea was approved by the Physical Planning Unit of the University. It is on record that Mr. Unaegbu has also initiated and accomplished the ideas of writing books of histories of different faculties, Institutes and Unions of the University in a bid to preserve memories of the University of Nigeria.

The direct labour for the statue was supervised by FIRMWORLD Sculptures and the company contracted young talented artists for the work. The statue was sculpted by Ugonna Umeike and one of the inscriptions was also designed by David Ekekwe, both graduates of the Department of Fine and Applied Arts, University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Nelson, a graduate of the Department of Social Works, helped immensely in the direct labour.

According to Mr. Unaegbu, the statue is a standing symbol for the motto of the University which is “To restore the dignity of man”.
The idea behind the statue is also to stamp on the consciousness of the University community and its publics, the importance of the philosophy of the founding fathers of the University. According to him, the University adopted the motto “To restore the dignity of man" as a banner against the dehumanization of humans, especially Africans and other black people in world affairs. "Every man has a right to be alive and reach the highest point of his dreams, provided the dreams do not dehumanize other humans", he said. In 1963, while advising the first graduating students, the most prominent founder of the University, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, had pointed out that the motto points to the "restitution of man's inalienable birthright to social equality, economic security, political freedom and religious tolerance. These abstract notions form the basis of man's fundamental rights without which there would be neither regard nor respect for human dignity".

Aside the “To Restore the Dignity of Man” theme, the statue has “Show the Light” as its second name. This was an adaptation from the words of Dante Alighieri (1265-1321), “Show the light and the people will find the way”. These words were also adopted by Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe as motto for his newspaper, West African Pilot in 1937.

It is on record that the sponsor of the “Show the Light” hand statue, Apòstle Nnamdi Stanley Mbaigbo through Tropical Gates Limited, also graciously sponsored the first edition of the UNN staff football competition game in 2018. He also sponsored the second edition of the game in 2019 and the third edition in 2020. He believes in the vision of creating a fit and healthy environment. Apostle Mbaigbo has also presented papers at faculty of Art students cultural week entitled, "Life after school" in 2018 and 2019 respectively. He is a graduate of the Department of Archeology and Tourism, Faculty of Arts, University of Nigeria, Nsukka.

Since resumption, the University book shop has been observing the queue culture as students cluster each day to purchase text books in their numbers.

The crowd is so much that one may wonder if the covid19 protocols are being properly observed.

Some students have lamented the long hours spent trying to purchase their text books, especially that of the GSP courses in high demand.

In order to save you the stress of standing in the queue for hours tomorrow, campus Tori UNN, gathered earlier today that the GSP text books and manuals are out of stock till Monday next week.

Do have a great week ahead.

Do you know that some departments in UNN are hosting online classes?
________________________
Students offering Political Science 2nd year course titled, NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS, had their first online lecture via zoom app earlier today.

The class was hosted by Mr Ifeanyi Onuoha.

Our reporter, Torubeli Emmanuel observed that the zoom class was noisy as most of the participants refused to mute their microphones, hence the reflection and echoes from their various background.

About 77 students attended the class out of more than 500 students offering the course.

The participates complained of poor network connection and slow WiFi.

Others maintained that, they it would be difficult to fund such online classes with their mobile data as they won't be able to access school WiFi from their various lodges.
