Can't there be a better discussion in this place without bringing in politics. This is becoming annoying.

(1) Saheed adepoju (picture1 below)


Credits: He is the inventor of the INYE-1
& 2, tablet computers designed for the
African market.

Nigeria's Saheed Adepoju is a young man with big dreams. He is the inventor of the Inye, a tablet computer designed for the African market.
According to the 31-year-old entrepreneur, his machine's key selling point is its price - $350 (£225) opposed to around $700 for an iPad.
He believes that, because of this, there is a big market for it in Nigeria and elsewhere in Africa, particularly amongst students.
He is also hoping to sell his tablet - which runs on the Google Android operating system - to the Nigerian government and plans to have at least one computer in each local government area.
"The Inye is a mobile internet device. It gives you access to the internet; it allows you to play media files and watch movies. What we have is an 8-inch device, a device that is half-way between a laptop and a mobile phone," he told the BBC's series African Dream.

(2) Seyi oyesola (picture 2 below)

invention of CompactOR or the “Hospital
in a Box”, a solar-powered life-saving
operating room which can be
transported to remote areas of Africa
and set up within minutes.

[b]Seyi Oyesola -- Nigerian-born Anesthesiologist and Critical Care Physician
Co-inventor of "Hospital-in-a-Box", a solar-powered, life-saving operating room which can be transported to remote areas of Africa and set up quickly
Although he spent part of his youth in America (including going to high school in Cleveland, OH), Seyi Oyesola's heart was always in his native country of Nigeria as he dreamed of returning there to become a physician and help his people. After completing high school here, he returned with his family to his homeland where he earned his medical degree and began his internship training. But he soon discovered that on his meager salary as an intern, he could barely afford to maintain his mother’s ageing car. So he left Nigeria for Britain to complete his training, asking himself: “Is this going to be a permanent phenomenon? Will we keep paying doctors in Africa so poorly that they migrate to the U.S. or the United Kingdom?" As he later realized when he began practice as an anesthesiologist and critical care physician, such situations are but microcosms of more serious medical and healthcare problems plaguing Africa. But with determinism and optimism, Seyi is doing his part to make a difference.

Thanks bro, God bless you endlessly.. thank God there is still someone who reason! From what I have seen here, most people post and reply increases the amount of aggression and angry in individuals, mostly affecting novices who just join the forum. They never thought that this increase in aggression will result to violence and mob. Have always said this, what happens in politics, mostly is beyond our knowledge and we know little of it yet we thing we know all. Like you said, serious Research is needed before before we generalize , not for our knowledge only but also for our health.
