What's pokemon go sef
Re: How Playing Pokémon Go In Nigeria Would Look Like by SimSummerrain(m): 8:59am On Jul 20, 2016
So let me just leave this here: PokemonGo is not just a game, it's a glimpse of technology in the future and Nigeria cannot miss out now on this only to start 'playing catch up' in the future, currently Nintendo has upped their value to 23 billion dollars in 2 weeks, theyve had more users on PokemonGo than even twitter in 2wks and have broken several other records in the USA and UK, One of them being 'most downloaded mobile game app', as initially stated, its not PokemonGo that is creating the catch of this game, its Augmented reality, which is the tech behind the game, Augmented reality know also as AR involves infusing a virtual world into your immediate reality, So in the game if your avatar needs to walk a certain distance, it means in reality you have to actually walk that distance, this isn't a platform for me to begin explaining the nitty gritty of the game, Objectives, Mission and all, so i'll leave that for some other time or platform, maybe a blog. Might I also add, In a city like lagos it can get risky cos of the chaotic nature of our environs and I agree, however as applies in all we do, we cannot over emphasise SAFETY, you don't have to chase a pokemon ( they don't run) you don't have to walk directly to its exact location to use your pokeballs on them, you can be a few metres away, say for instance on a sidewalk. You don't have to brandish your phone in a place like OSHODI and say your looking for a pokemon (Do you facebook on the road in OSHODI?) most pokestops in nigeria are statues, churches, hotels..All of which are a safe distance from full on road traffic. PokemonGO is also changing the face of marketing in several countries!..traditional marketing is moving businesses to people..Augmented Reality is moving people to businesses and Small businesses are right now making a fortune as pokemongo is driving human traffic to business locations, I don't know bout other nigerian youths but as for me I am tired of playing catchup to technology in this country, if the government won't give it to us, then we need to make a statement by standing up for techs such as these, if its improving other countries economies, why can't it improve ours?, you should see the South African PokemonGo community on Facebook, check out the Egyptians as well, btw nigerians are the highest consumers of Internet data in Africa, but these countries embrace tech at a quicker rate than we, in less than 9 years Americas economies will be generating close to 80 billion dollars from AR/VR, and we are here watching dino melaye and remi tinubu tearing their shirts. This is the Facebook PokemonGoNigeria community I have begun on FB: https://m.facebook.com/PokemonGoNigeria/
My hope is that we can get more likes than SouthAfrica and other african countries, That would put us tops in africa and make a statement to the world that nigerian youths are ready to embrace tech and When PokemonGo and AR arrives here we'll be one of the countries recognised for it. Our leaders have failed us, true, but as youths we should salvage whatever we can for the sakes of our children. Cheers guys! - Simdie Onuora
