A YOUNG Nigerian has achieved the rank of the best software developers in the world. He achieved this by being among the best 12 software developers using Oracle technology in the Oracle Application Express Developer Competition 2009. His name is Kehinde Adeyemi, a 2006 graduate of Olabisi Onabanjo University.

The Oracle Technology Network (OTN) conducted a competition to promote the development of new Oracle Application Express (APEX) applications by Oracle developers.

Adeyemi developed a Driver's Licence and Vehicle Registration Application, which he designed to run on the internet.

He developed the application using Lagos State Motor Vehicles Department of Nigeria as a case study. The application focuses on assisting drivers' and vehicle owners in the state to apply for new drivers' licences, renew drivers licences, replace lost drivers licences, register new and used vehicles, renew numbers plate and transfer numbers plates. The application consists of forms, which applicants or registrants can fill, and also allows them to make payment using credit cards. The application then issues a confirmation slip, which they in turn submit with proofs of identity to the Motor Vehicle Department Office for further processing. The application brings the power of e-payment to prospective users.

Adeyemi has been an Oracle developer since 2005 and has garnered significant experience working with different software projects. He was the only African in the top 12 of the competition.

This is an old news na...Ilekeidi, why are you like this na? Btw, he emerged the best 12 in a competition in Oracle and not generally. Anyways, it's good to have Nigerians doing us proud. Thumbs up Kehinde.

Congrats to him and all, but I'm genuinely surprised this was put on the front page.

By the way, Seun should better sift through worthwhile articles for the frontpage of NL. On an individual level, I congratulate the subject of this article but giving it such credence here is pretty much applauding our national mediocrity. It's not like there was any ground-breaking, cutting-edge innovation we should be jumping about. Seun should also be able to read through the sinister motives of certain posters when posting this kind of article.

Congrats adeyemi

You misinterpret me. That's why I congratulated the young man. I just don't feel a student coming 12th in some exam or competition for a certain developer is worthy front page news on Nairaland. It's not much to celebrate in a country of 160 million people.

congratulations mr kehinde Adeyemi, you've really done us proud.

[sup][/sup] i greet d house.

Beta, as long as he is a nigerian.

Obi1kenobi: Silly article with a misleading title and questionable motives. Some old people on NL have sworn never to grow up.

are you refering to ileke idi ? You said the truth anyway.

imagine the title of the thread, very misleading, and more so an old article being recycled and pushed to the front page, do these moderators read atall

Good one

Boredom, joblessness e.t.c.
