Politics › Nigerian Invents Music Hearing Device in USA by Charlesmud(op): 8:56pm On Feb 13, 2009 |
Nigerian Invents Music Hearing Device in US •With the device, two persons can listen to the same song on an ipod or MP3 From Constance Ikokwu in Washington, D.C., 02.12.2009 A Nigerian, Sanya Ojikutu, a former cartoonist with FAME magazine, has received provisional patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office for a new electronic devise he designed in the country. The product, ShareBuds Mx 2-in-1 Stereo Earphones, makes it possible for two people to listen to music simultaneously. It works with most iPhones, iPod, mp3 players, mobile phones, Blackberry, portable DVD players, portable gaming systems, audio book devices, notebooks and other portable media players. Released in December 2008, the devise is already a hit in the US. Apple has added ShareBuds to their product guide and celebrities at the Golden Globes Awards held in Beverly Hills, California recently, responded positively to the product. Hollywood celebrities including Sally Hawkins, Aimee Teegarden, Kyla Pratt, Isaiah Washington, Amanda Bynes, Jimmy Jean-Louis, Stephen Baldwin, Terrence Howard and Tom Howard were reportedly impressed with ShareBuds. It was featured on Channel 5’s “the Gadget Show Road Trip Special” in the United Kingdom (UK) recently. “ShareBuds is a very simple solution to an everyday challenge. It is an example of how people or events inspire simple, yet untapped product ideas,” Ojikutu told THISDAY. He continued: “For music lovers and iPod owners, the desire to share is innate and crucial to music itself. ShareBuds Mx helps people discover new music with friends and makes premium listening experience more intimate.” Ojikutu further explained that it took almost a year to design ShareBuds, starting from the first sketch, the Research and Development (R&  ) focus groups and the final prototype. He told THISDAY that the product would fundamentally change the way people listen, share and interact with their favourite music, iPods and other portable digital devices. As Valentine’s day approaches, he added that “ShareBuds headphones present a great opportunity to let you show you are in tune with the special someone by listening to his or her favourite love songs and a few suitable romantic additions of yours together on an iPod or mp3 player.” Ojikutu explained that Oprah and Bono inspired the devise. According to him, he watched both celebrities on TV sharing a pair of headphones during the launch of Apples’s Red Nano at the company’s North Michigan Avenue retail store in Chicago. Watching them listening with just one ear without hearing the full left and right stereo sound convinced him that there was a need for a new earphone design. He noted that he is pleased with the response so far. Notwithstanding, he intends to pursue a robust online and retail sales strategy, marketing campaign and licensing/partnership opportunities. The product will be formally launched later this year while the final patent approval is expected within two years. ShareBuds is currently priced at $39.95. http://www.thisdayonline.com/nview.php?id=135458 |

Politics › Re: Nairaland Political Party? by Charlesmud(m): 4:57pm On Feb 07, 2009 |
Sky Blue: @ohaechesi there is something that may need to be addressed. Nairaland is a ite with a lot of members. People join topics of their intrest and either spectate or contribute. It is only natural that people would have arguements, different ways of seeing things, different views, etc? Let this not be a hindrance towards a union of people who want to achieve something. I hope we are mature enough to go argue it out on different issues on one hand and still come back to this union, back to this thread, and focus on what unites, which is people wanting to act towards bringing the much needed change and progress they desie to see in Nigeria in whatever capacity they are able to.
The part of your post i highlighted in bold is something that has been addressed. While some people might be comfortable with such, some might not be comfortable with giving out their post codes or other sensitive information like that, it is only na,tural afterall we are posting online. Whoever wants to do such is free to but i advice that sensitive information like address etc is not posted online. Let us take solid steps first of all and overall let us have an open door policy that makes people feel comfortable to come in and help in whatever capacity they can without feeling pressured to do so. You can't speak of yahoo yahoo boys on the one hand and then ask people for their address on the other, LOL.
For now a more dedicated and free flowing meeing seems to be required and i think the online chat isn't "child's play" or unserious, but a step that can be taken so that we can set some things in motion. We need to take produtive steps and please, no need to be rudeto anybody, let us try and be courteous to all. Your ideas have a place here due to the (hopefully) open door nature of the proposed venture and if there are people who won't mind doing what you want to do, then fine, and they can. Thank you, you have made a good point and I think he should understand this very well. It is not compulsary to join, it is not about leaders or committee, and if he thinks we are acting in a childish way then maybe he can bring up his own ideas with people to form something. After all we all just wanna try to do something positive to Nigeria in the best ways we can even if we are not perfect planners. |
Politics › Re: Nairaland Political Party? by Charlesmud(m): 4:46pm On Feb 07, 2009 |
ohaechesi: this is an encouraging step even taken in this forum. but lets not contradict issues because it requires the mindset of master planners to build our aim and objective on a solid rock . "Charlesmud" is definitely not verse to hand the committee for a start. we should start with those that are verse and must have vegetated in wisdom. necessity is the mother of invention and we can only invent change in Nigeria with right brains or else, mallam will be the petroleum minister again (in the nairaland pursuit for change and a better Nigeria). God forbid. it therefore means we should embark on the right thing first.
How do we go about this:
1) i suggest its right time we start by posting our various location and a close range to our postal address. by so doing, those leaving in the same location will have the chance to meet each other in person and at the same time interact.
2) a pressure group will be initiated in various location (countries) by nairaland members. gradually, agendas will be posted on nairaland for all members to discuss in their various location. at the same time, date and time will posted for all leaders or representative in various country to come on-line for conclusion. whereby we have our representative to relate our views from different countries. based on that, it won't be necessary hosting a new site. mean that the Rep., chairman, or leader of every group in various countries must be online at the appropriate date and time for the final discussion on the very agenda due to time frame and our various profession. this will limit our nepotism and i strongly believe that even if many others will come online same day and hour, haven noticed that we on an important agenda, they will indemnify their approach. I therefore suggest that everything should be done and discussed on nairaland post instead of opening whatever site. I facade hoodlums sourcing whom to scam if a private site is hosted on this issue.
the above is my humble suggestion as I stand to be corrected. You surely ought to be corrected. First we are not creating a form of leaders, committee, chairmen. (so no-one was choosing anyone as committee). Secondly it is not necessary to give locations now or anything (this is just a prepartion not anything yet). Thirdly there is no agenda or any form of objectives for now, we are only giving our points and the idea of what we really want to make this for. See try to get things straight, nobody will be anything or committee (I have said its a Union so if possible we dont need so much large numbers of people). If that will be the idea or maybe happen I WILL BACK OUT. Thank you for your support and yes we have better master planners in Nigeria than me but its so unfortunate we dont see them or neither are they doing anything. You are welcome to join. |

Well seems good and I have buzz proudly9ja with my ID.
From there if you are able to identify the person, you can then direct the person to the other main ID for our discussion.
Its seems good enough. maybe later we can think of something else, but for now its the best we can do I think.
OK, so any other thing, we still need to keep intouch here so others wont feel left out. We want a pure public and union contribution and togetherness. So everybody if welcome.
I buzzed you now proudly9ja , I hope you got me and are you online ?
beneli welcome onboard, you have good ideas too. Pls try to followup. |
Politics › Re: Nairaland Political Party? by Charlesmud(m): 3:44pm On Feb 07, 2009 |
Well if we are to PM @prudly9ja, is it not the same thing having an ID here and adding the ID to join.
I think there should be other ways people can get intouch if the PM here is so complicated.
Maybe someone have to leave one of his or her un-usefull ID then people add that then they will be forward to the main place (ID) of discussion.
I dont have any other way to this. |
Politics › Re: Nairaland Political Party? by Charlesmud(m): 3:17pm On Feb 07, 2009 |
B.O.S.S.: Me I'm still just waiting on what we should do next. I'm monitoring this thread anyway and when the times comes to kick in and take action, I'll butt in. I think it's ashame having 1,000 or so threads on Nairaland and not effecting a change in any way.
I'm not on Nairaland just to rant, rant and rant. I just want to make a decent change and I hope this idea we're generating works. Long life to everyone supporting this.
I dey watch you o, Charlesmud. Chairman, abeg no dey watch me . . . . Pls kindly contribute cus we will need various supports and contribution to make things right and accurate. Pls everyone is important and everything is useful, the main thing everybody says here and from other friends that wanna join in all say "SO FAR ITS FOR US TO SEE HOW WE CAN MAKE A POSITIVE THING FOR NIGERIA". This is the main thing so join to our discussion pls my BOSS. Sky Blue: With regards to time differece, an equilibrium can be found. If we say 3 hours from now, it will be 4pm in Nigeria, 5pm in England, 12noon east coast and about 10am west coast. That shouldn't be too bad unless we have folks in australia or asia. Well for now I think this timing is good. Sky Blue: Since @prudly9ja was assigned most of the details i am hoping @proudly9ja will be able to set up the messenger conference. @proudly9ja, can we all PM you our yahoo ids? That way we can all log on and you set up the conference by inviting us. What do you think? OK we can PM her then but I dont know how to PM in this site, can someone explain to me or maybe you can PM SkyBlue and I will reply you back but I dont even know where to check for messages. |
Politics › Re: Nairaland Political Party? by Charlesmud(m): 3:02pm On Feb 07, 2009 |
Sky Blue: Messenger conference is fine with me (yahoo messenger, right?) But for those that have not yet logged on let us put it off a bit till they know the deal. So how many hours from now are we saying and what are the other details? I think conference on yahoo messanger is OK too, I am sure we cant all be online at the same time. This are the things that will make it a bit complicated. You can give the timing and details, I dont have any idea how that timing should go cus it cant just be accurate cus of the time differences. Atleast some people I think are in USA and they are in the time now and when they get any message we will be in the night, very complicated. |

amosexy: Hi everybody,
@sky blue
yeah I did left a post on facebook and the site i posted yesterday.I guess would just wait for guys to make a solid conclusion on this matter b4 i send post to any other site. Thank you so much, mind you we are all trying to make a solid ground on how things should go so not that you have to wait for anybody like orders. You can give your own reasons and explain what we can do. . . . . . this is a union Well lastly, this is what I told Sky Blue that some major groups have to set a place to discuse solidly b4 bringing majorities of people flowing in without us even having any solid discussion ground yet. |
Politics › Re: Nairaland Political Party? by Charlesmud(m): 2:52pm On Feb 07, 2009 |
Sky Blue: @Charles ok then, someone volunteered to register a site or something of the sort. Is that offer still on the table? While i get your point completely about not rushing things since this is hoepfully a long term on going thing, i think you should try to be understanding when people migh seem itchy and in a hurry to you. Such have being waiting for so long for something like this, so you might just have to be a bit more understanding on your path : ).
Do we need a seperate area to discuss arrangements (seperate site, forum, messenger, etc) or do we discuss such here? Perhaps that can be a step to take that is accomplishing something definitive instead of all this talk. The discussion would of course relate to setting up an arena (forum, site or whatever) whereby we would be able to direct people to and where the vision can be further hosted. I understand you guys too, I'm just trying to give reasons and explain why we need to take things easy. Yes due to the problems, we need to act fast but we should also know what we wanna do is not a visa or fast food resturant. We have to plan and really take things serious planned. Yes we need to have a separate place to discuse on how to make preparations or any step about site opening or so, We can talk about all with those that are currently ready then at the same time we will keep communicating here and look for more members while the other discussion procced with steps and objectives. I suggest conference discussion on messager, you guys can give another idea, I already have one or 2 guys waiting to have an anwser of were to meet to discuse about this. |
Politics › Re: Nairaland Political Party? by Charlesmud(m): 1:45pm On Feb 07, 2009 |
pixiraver: Charles, i keep asking how do we need to proceed? Do we list our own ideas? I have mentioned things we need to do, before we proceed we need to form a uniform movement with our ideas,agenda etc then we can start inviting people to join. We do need people from facebook etc we can easily reach out to lots of people via such medium.
We have to start now believe me guys, 2011 is just around the corner and there is so much that needs to be done. Yes we need to act maturely yet swiftly. Yes my guy we need to act and we are already acting trying to bring up something positive, we just have to think seriously about this and make things accurate b4 jumping into anything. Yes I agree for now we just need to form a uniform group of people, then after getting a bit balance we can invite more people in (We cant work or develop with so much numbers of people for now). Guys dont you think we have started already trying to do something (make we take am easily), we dont need to act on time or think about 2011. This is not a toy or childs play. . . . . It will take alot of time and best of solutions for this thing to work. Sam Milla: I wish i could track the IP addresses of some members in this forum. Just to know the hypocrites What for my guy and why ? |
Politics › Re: Nairaland Political Party? by Charlesmud(m): 1:21pm On Feb 07, 2009 |
innocentoh: I know they are many Charlsemud and Latox out there. People that think "POSITIVITY". People that think "CHANGE". Always saying "YES WE CAN". So what else do we need for the change to a better Nigeria that we desire so much. I've read through this topic and the wonderful contributions (not only that of Charlsemud and Latox but also of other positive minded Nairalanders. So sorry 4 not mentioning all the names) and have conclude that all we need to actualise the change we all dream about is to take the first bold step like we are doing on this forum. I am in total support of this idea but like many have said, it should not start as a political party but as a forum or a movement if you like. We shouldn't wait to have large number of people indicating their interest before we can kick off. We should just start and I bet you! even those who doubt this now will definately have a change of mind. I am ready for this, Nairalanders are you ready?, Dont forget! Ventures like this always come with a price. Both a price to be paid and a price to be recieved. So we should be ready for both. Well, see you when we get there. Thank you for your support, try not to mention names cus we are all one trying to achive one goal. Yes I agree with you that we dont need majorities for now cus we wont be able to strategize, if things are much more in-place then we can bring in people and we all work together. But at the moment we can do anything if we are 50 or so. We have to take things step by step. |
Politics › Re: Nairaland Political Party? by Charlesmud(m): 1:19pm On Feb 07, 2009 |
Good day everybody !!!
First I must say THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL PARTY OR MOVEMENT
Secondly, I'm sorry to say this but this ways is becoming too messy. I dont see why we have to go to all sites inviting people to what we havent even strategize, no need for rushing or any form of exitment.
If we dont relax and do things in accordance, this will breakup. Mind you all some people might wanna join for badluck purpose. I dont think we need all the whole world for now cus we are nt yet balance. we wont be able to have anwsers if we are too much at a start.
Some group of people have to discuse about this first, then whoever joins after will contribute and his ideas or opinion will also be used but if we are 50 at once . . . NO decision can be made cus of the current mentality of people (Nigerians).
I'm just saying my own o, I am not joking with this so I suggest we act more maturely and think twice before just rushing things or bringing the whole world for what we ourselves are not certain for now. we only have this idea for now and we have to make it solid first b4 bringing majorities.
Sky Blue I have contacted some of my friends abroad and they have replied me, so what will I tell them now when we dont have a certain pls of discussion ?
We need to take this step by step. |

Sky Blue: @Charles, i was not crazy about the name at all but did not want to state it because I did not want to be discouraging and at present I really don't believe a name is is so significant plus again, I don't want to discourage anybody. In whatever capacity people want to contribute let them feel free to. If the poster succeeds in getting people here then fine : ). Let us just get people aware and this is not all politics at all, hopefully the scope is beyond such and would be accomodating to anyone with something they want to contribute (time, skills, ideas, action, whatever) even if its to contribute and walk away after. We are all for progress and development in different capacities so hence i would even swallow whatever comments I have about any suggested name cos its beyond that, if we find an amazing name and nothing is achieved, then of what use was the name? 
link to similar thread in villagesquare
http://www.nigeriavillagesquare.com/forum/political-action/20022-nvs-p-c.html Thats true and I agree. So are you suggesting people should keep coming here ?

amosexy: OK. I guess i will just invite people to nairaland political movement .  Sky Blue dont you think this sound childish and unserious somehow. We all even see the name of this thread "Nairaland Political Party". . . . very funny I just want us to use this place to bring-up people, then we move to somewhere we know it will be just members of this interest and the discussion will be purely on this vision. Thank you all for all your supports. pixiraver: Ok, we can do it this way, we list the number of people that are interested, when we get to around 50 we launch a website, on the website we will have people acknowledge their location then set out objectives, which is recruitment. We want people to volunteer and be recruited from various part of the world, then we can pursue our agenda. What do you guys think? Good idea and that is somehow what we are saying too, get some numbers of people here then we move to somewhere we can discuse then we can all start our ideas and visions. |

I can invite people from there as soon as we are able to come up with name for this union and have a meeting place. I came by the site from PUNCHNEWSPAPER forum,so i signed up for the membership. I think also we have to have a place of the concluded and sure people place of meeting and discussing, I think it will be hard to invite people from other sites here to talk about this while we are still listing up people. We should invite to where we are in order of discussion about this. As for the name, I dont think we need any name now brother. Just brief anyone you know about what we wanna do and explain better to know, I believe they will get the clue of our aim. bigmodo: I would like to be a member of Nairaland Political Party. I will also like to be the financial secretary or treasurer. Welcome brother, we dont have any position in place. so are you still interested or you came for a post ? |

pixiraver: So what date and time do we agree on meeting online? Is it on yahoo messenger, msn or skype? If we agree on the date, then we can advertise this date on nairaland, villagesquare, facebook etc Believe me guys we will get huge audience.
So what we need now? A website that can provide information on the date of the meeting online, probably our own chat room or something. I volunteered to pay for the domain name and hosting, any web designer in the house? I think for now, lets just try to be as constant as possible on this forum to check for update and infos. We cant give time or date cus of the cus of the difference in our specific locations. I dont think any date for anything should be given yet, guys pls lets take this slowly and patiently, Let get members and the little members (15 - 20) can then discuse in a different new place for the next proceedings. amosexy: I want guys to check out this site too .http://www.newnigerianalliance.org/3/myblog.htm Thats a nice site, but one have to be registered to be able to do anything. Well if you know anyone there or have means to communicate there. . . . maybe you can just try to explain and invite one or some numbers of people to this discussion. This is why I said we have to know those that are seriously and constantly interested, so we can know were to invite people to cus we cant be talking in different locations it will be complicated. |
Politics › Re: Nairaland Political Party? by Charlesmud(m): 8:14pm On Feb 06, 2009 |
Sky Blue: We want as much help as possible to develop a momentum so that this becomes more than us but about "a movement" for lack of a better phrase. The guys on nigeriavillagsquare might have better ways of even setting up communication. The members of the site at least have things they can point to which they can say the did together which is why i think raising awareness there would be a very good thing because there are definately people on there who are willing to act also. What is difficult about directing them to this thread? You can use just provide a link to the discussion and use your connections whatever they might be to get more support and raise more awareness. We don't have to plan this alone and we want to leave an open door for anyone to walk in. We want to generate momentum, don't we? I just saw an article posted by an ex-govenor of sokoto state on the site. Although the article was berated, that is not the issue. The issue is that site seems to attract people who can be of tremendous help (and i thinking journalists and media people). Again, just my 2 cents I get you bro and yes we need people and ideas, I must say I agree with you but you know people now. They dont seem to believe anything anymore. So I just thought we should create a ground were we can talk about it then people we lay down issues, well at the same time I have started contacting some of those who I know they will be very interested. We have to have a place where those of us intereted in this will constantly be talking and atleast we will have were to invite people to, Like in that square some people there will open there mind outside the room. If you wanna create anything inthere I dont mind, I will response but some people are not taking it serious there anymore only maybe if we can drive them together to a place we can be talking on it then we can keep invite people from both sites. |

Actually @Charlesmud since you post more often than me in the villagesquare, can you take this to the square? There is a thread that discussed similar thing but in general just raise the message and awareness there. I can help you with it if you want. My guy thank you soooooooooooooo much. I was thinking the case of NigeriaVillageSquare should be left till when we are able to fix a place of discussion first, we cant direct them here.

Sky Blue: With regards to this name thing, let us not make this a fundamental issue right now, if people want to keep their online ID and use as names for now and for whatever reason at present, they should be allowed to. We are not trying to scare anybody or put people under pressure. Whatever people are comfortable with sharing for now they should share. You have to bear in mind that a lot of these things have started before, just look for a thread called something along the lines of "A sweet wind is blowing" or Nigerian revolution or any of that. I guess the wind didn't blow for long afterall, LOL. We want something sustainable and an environment whereby we are able to receive help, ideas and other things that might be neccessary to carry out actions, as well as help those who want to impart positively whichever way they want to. You are just too much and have good explainations of what I'm trying to explain. The first thing is to get ourselves together then we find a place to discuse (atleast 15 - 20 members), we will still be talking here and also to know those who are interested. We can discuse anything here at all, lets get numbers of people and first we find a place maybe were we can make a conference chat. from there we will talk about things to proceed with. |

All we want in our life is to do something to help Nigeria know matter how little it is. THANK YOU ALL
Even if people here say NO, I made up my mind already I was going to do it someday but thank God I have seen people who have the same dream as me.

Politics › Re: Nairaland Political Party? by Charlesmud(m): 6:50pm On Feb 06, 2009 |
Sky Blue: Again that is why i am advocating for openness in this venture and not putting limits or barriers and hence so far some people thankfully agree with me on that. @texxazpete, Nairaland is a forum where we all come to comment on happenings in Nigeria - especially the politics section. With the venture being proposed i hope we can form a forum whereby we can plan and strategise and act to make positive impacts in Nigeria in whatever field we are interested in or choose to adopt. Hence this is not just about politics or influencing government, but this is simply pro-progress. Hence i know there are some people who are interested in the dilapidating state of the educational sector in Nigeria. We can brainstorm and see how we can bring about not just surface but fundamental changes also.
Some people are interested in electoral reform, fine let them contribute where they can by raising awareness. I have a lot of ideas with regards to different areas, etc but i would prefer a situation whereby such is discussed in the right arena. Whatever areas we can contribute let us contribute because i am sure we have a rich pool of people online that care about the country and want a change and want progress. There are many people who want to contribute but don't know how to or feel helpless, hopefully there is something we can do. Although action is called for in so many areas, I think awareness is also very important. What we do should raise awareness in Nigeria and with people with Nigerian interests all over the world. In terms of development politically, economically, through infrastructure, etc, i believe we can affect that change. It is sooo easy for such to be derailed by differences hence i hope we can focus on what unites, the hope of seeing progress and development in Nigeria. Better governance that reflects the will of the people and progress, development in the educational sector, a media that is more socially responsible and raises awareness, infrastructural development, improved security, etc. Do you really believe it is impossible to make a difference. We might not change Nigeria overnight but we can work towards bringing about change.
One thing i propose in terms of awareness is to bring the issue of the 2011 elections to the fro NOW and bring the issues to Nigerians mainly in Nigeria but to those all over the world also. We need an election which has more depth and based on possible developments and progress towards nation building, an election about the issues, an election that brings to light the fickleness of ideas and the emptiness of the rhetoric of those who have nothing meaningful to cont,ribute. An election that is based on different fundamentals so that people can begin to look at their votes as investments. The issue of the 2011 elections and electoral reforms should be brought to the awareness of everyone now. Thank you so much !!! |

texazzpete: So what do you plan to do to change Nigeria? Good question, we dont know all but certainly our contribution will involve in so many ways and we cant simple be sure yet. We want to create a group of people that will be able to assist Nigeria in different ways, if our dream comes true . part of our aims will be to create infrastuctures and humanitarian aid support. We will join hands together to do the best we can and with time and God on our side we will continue to make our moral-financial-physical support to Nigeria and her citizen. I hope we have more brilliant contributors and supporter to give ideas and solutions, we need people like Solomon and I believe something good can come out of this if we are dedicated and focus (With God). |

Kenezi: Social Revolutionary Movement Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwww brilliant or lets say ------- Social Revolutionary people (S.R.P). I wish we dont put a a name like we want to do something and bcus we will have other objectives like aids and supports not just political issues alone. amosexy: My concern is that how do we intend getting to the masses at the end of the day? I mean the poor because i belive it shouldnt end here online cos nt everybody has a access 2 internet. This is all what we will do but its all step by step, that is why its going to take time. we need to discuse alottttttttttttttttttt of things. Hopefully we will be able to get supports and contributions to be able to get more peoples attention in Nigeria. We pray and hope it doesnt die online, as time goes on we will make project and that means we will do some physical things and that means we are acting not just talking. God be on our side. AMEN. |

texazzpete: This is amusing. There's nothing here to show that these group of people are any better than their predecessors, and the level of tribalism often displayed on Nairaland puts paid to the idea of any form of Unity. Thank you brother, maybe you are better. Atleast we have good intention and we want to correct our mistakes. This names are common and as we have said, we dont want a political name/party or make it to be for Nigerians alone. Lets just get a simple name for it and that will be the name of the site also. |
