Mehn! This is very very shameful. I feel very bad about Nigeria. Oh my gosh!! Can you imagine?

Hey Shatta B

He should not even think it twice. Upon all his victories in the UK he still faces racism. He should come and play for his mother land where he can feel belonged

Former Finance Minister, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has lost her father, Obi (Prof) Chukwuka Okonjo, Obi of Ogwashi Uku, Aniocha South L.G.A, Delta State.

His Royal Majesty Obi (Prof) Chukuka Okonjo died at the age of 91 in the United States of America.

PureFace1:
Much of the global market in 2019 has been driven by the trade wars between the United States and The Peoples Republic of China. President Donald Trump signed an executive order that no US company should use telecommunications equipment made by technology companies that pose national security risks.

The ban was targeted at Huawei, the Chinese tech company leading 5G revolution in Asia. Experts says the US may lose as much as $500 billion, if China beats America to the best 5G technology — highlighting how important 5G will be in the years ahead. The countries that lead the 5G revolution will earn billions of dollars, and greatly improve their economies, and drive global change — one of such countries is the United Kingdom.

According to Nicola Sturgeon, the first woman to become the first minister of Scotland, said the Scotland is aiming to be the 5G leader in the UK. She says 5G could enable Scotland to add about £17 billion to GDP by 2035 and create 160,000 jobs.

At the heart of Scotland’s 5G revolution is Nigeria’s Yusuf Abudulrahmam Sambo!


WHO IS YUSUF SAMBO ?

Yusuf Abdulrahman Sambo is a research associate and the 5G-SON (self-organised network) testbed lead at the University of Glasgow, UK. Sambo was born in 1988 in Kaduna, he is an indigene of Ikara local government, Kaduna state.

The building blocks of his sterling career were laid at Command Children School, Abuja, where he had his primary education, and Zaria Academy, Shika, where he learnt at the secondary education level. He would go on to Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria, where he graduated in 2010 with a second-class upper degree in electrical engineering.

By 2011, a year after graduating from ABU, Sambo already completed his master’s degree in Mobile and Satellite Communications at the University of Surrey (with distinction and two publications).

Born to a medical doctor, who remains his role model, Sambo says his love for IT was encouraged by his father, who introduced him to the power of information and communications technology at a very young age.

Sambo says his father, despite being a medical doctor by training, proofreads all his tech papers, and has always been interested in all he is research and academic works.


PH.D AT 27



Following a distinct result during his masters at Surrey, Sambo got a full Ph.D. scholarship to work on a European Union-funded project on designing low electromagnetic emission future networks. He took the offer and started the Ph.D.

But like everything with the golden fish, there is no hiding place; during his first year of Ph.D., he secured a mobility funding, to conduct research on mobile communications at the Texas A&M University in Qatar.

At the age of 27, he completed his Ph.D. in Mobile Communications from the 5G Innovation Centre, reputed as the world’s largest academic research centre dedicated to next-generation mobile and wireless connectivity, at the University of Surrey in 2016.

Sambo has since tapped into the centre’s vision to drive the fourth industrial revolution “to enable a world where everything is provided wirelessly to the end device by a fixed and mobile (converged) infrastructure that functions across the whole geography”. The internet of things!



LECTURE AT BAZE UNIVERSITY


Despite being able to thrive anywhere in the world, Sambo returned to Nigeria upon graduation from Surrey, to transfer knowledge and give back to the Nigerian system. He worked briefly as a network engineer at Suburban Telecoms.

He also lectured at Baze University, Abuja, between July 2016 and August 2017. He taught three modules to undergraduate students at the university, and would later become a supervisor of the Electrical Engineering Department at the university in Nigeria’s capital.

His students made a Bluetooth controlled rover (picture above), which was demonstrated when Abdullahi Ganduje, governor of Kano state, visited the university.

While at Baze, he co-founded Baze Youth Forum, a gathering for progressive youths to share ideas on issues of common interest. During this period, he also joined Fleissen & Company, an independent research and consulting company, as a consultant and worked on several projects.

The company helps organisations to resolve complex problems in oil and gas, power, manufacturing, telecoms & technology (T&T), and water sectors.


PRODUCED THE world’s first 5G popup network

Sambo is currently a research associate in the Communication, Sensing and Imaging Group of the University of Glasgow working on a £1.2 million EPSRC-funded project on designing autonomous and resilient emergency communication systems. His main research interests include EMF exposure reduction, radio resource management, energy efficiency, wireless sensor networks and device-to-device (D2D) communication.

He has designed and built the first real-time 5G testbed dedicated to Self-Organised Networks (SON) in the UK which runs on general-purpose processors.

At Glasgow, he has also produced several proofs-of-concept and demonstrated various 5G use-cases including a prototype for the world’s first popup network that can be deployed in less than 2 minutes for emergency communications and rural connectivity.

His works have also made it possible to dynamically switch on/off 5G small cells by using machine learning for traffic prediction and multi-sensor fusion that result in over 20 percent energy savings.

Following his array of excellent ideas and implementation, he was awarded the coveted Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Impact Acceleration Account (IAA) grant for research on novel cooling systems capable of reducing the energy consumption of 5G networks by up to 50 percent.


LEADING SCOTLAND’S 5G Revolution


The 31-year-old co-edited the world’s first books on the verticals of 5G and EMF radiation from future wireless communication, published by the prestigious Wiley-IEEE and the IET, respectively in 2019.

In September 2018, the tech guru was engaged in an EPSRC-IAA funded research mobility to the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China to work on 5G testbed design.

He leads the University of Glasgow research team on the widely-celebrated Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS)-funded 5G RuralFirst project. The project focuses on implementing a pop-up network for a healthcare use case in the Orkney Islands, Scotland.

He recently coordinated a demo for the first minister of Scotland to showcase the research and successes of his team’s 5G plan. This was widely reported in the British media, including coverage by the BBC, STV, the Scotsman, Daily Record, the Herald and the Daily Mail.

The Kaduna-born engineer currently has 21 publications in top-ranked peer-reviewed journals and conferences. He is also a reviewer for several top journals and conferences, serving on technical program and organising committees of many international conferences and workshops.

When he is not revolutionalising 5G networks, he is supporting Arsenal Football Club, playing squash or traveling. Sambo says he loves food and is strangely a pen collector — he has about 100 pens from random places.

At least let something good come for once from the North. Na only we waka come? . Hausa Fulani AMAKA

donbachi:
mercy said no.

I don't think he will ever steal again after this experience.

I think the only thing Nigeria can do to get even with SA is by nationalizing SA businesses in Nigeria. If we resort to destroying their businesses in Nigeria, that would be like biting ourselves twice.

A must read from Ndiya Baykay Eze's wall.

������

"If anyone should be defending SA, it should be me. That country gave me scholarship up to PhD level. But I won’t, because this black on black crime driven by petty jealousy and envy which happens every other year is indefensible.

I am so saddened and angry that our so called opinion shapers and influencers are the ones mocking Nigerians, telling them they will lose out if we retaliate in any measure even through diplomacy.

We underrate ourselves so much. The self hate is deep.

Let me tell a story.

A few years ago, a group of greedy Zimbabweans teamed up with greedy elements in government and started demanding Nigerians must leave the country because we’ve taken over the business sector here.

They gave an ultimatum and insisted we hand over businesses to locals.

Businesses Nigerians started from scratch. Buildings we sweated and cried and struggled to build or buy. Everything we did for ourselves.

They were so serious they even started working towards enacting a policy to back up their demand.

Anyone who knows and understand the Zim government knows they are champions at nationalizing foreigners assets.

The Nigerian community called on the then Jonathan Governent. They got into action. And a meeting was called between the two governments with Nigerian representatives in Zim and Zimbabwean representatives resident in Nigeria.

Now wait for it....

It turned out that about 2000 Nigerians live in Zim, while over 18,000 Zimbabweans live in Nigeria. What a shock.

A country of over 150 million had only about 2000 citizens in your country while you, a country of 13 million had almost 20,000 citizens in theirs. Their government was so unaware and were shocked into silence.

Of the Nigerians living in Zim, only a few hundreds are formally employed as doctors, lecturers, mangers, etc, while almost ALL the Zimbabweans in Nigeria were formally employed in the oil sector, banking sector, hospitality sector, and private companies in Nigeria. Unlike Nigerians who are on the streets of Harare and Bulawayo struggling in their small legitimate businesses, Zimbabweans were living the life in Naija. Shock factor 2!

Do I need to tell how that meeting ended? Nigerian government issued threats. Zimbabwe apologized.

It’s been years since then 2013/2014. We have not heard them say anything about Nigerians again.

Now for those who think Nigerians stand to loose by pushing back at Sourh Africa. You might be shocked.

Do we even know how many South Africans live in Nigeria?
Do we have an idea of how many businesses they have in our country?

I can bet that we all will be shocked to stupor when we get the data on this. It is not just the big ones like Spar, Shoprite and co. They are legions.

Yes we might not have the infrastructure they have, not any other thing you all want to compare with. But we have something they don’t.... Market size. Our strength is in our numbers.

South Africans have been opening businesses in Nigeria for the last decade. They have been moving their resources to West Africa because they are afraid what happened in Zim will happen there and yes, it eventually will.

The market size of Nigeria attracts them. Board a flight from Joburg to Lagos and 80% of the passengers are south Africans. What do we think they are coming to Nigeria to do? Tourism? Do we have any. They are running businessses in our country.

Our government need to take a stand the way the so called clueless government of the past did and you will see South Africa behave. Why? because they can not afford to lose such a big market. If they can, they will be moving their investment to European like countries in Africa such as Botswana, Namibia, and co but they do not. They go to Nigeria and Ghana.

In any case, let those who must hate on themselves continue. By Daisy Ify"Xe

The Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike has responded the former governor of Kano state, Ibrahim Shekarau over his comments on the alleged demolition of the Rainbow Town mosque in Trans-Amadi area of Port Harcourt, the state capital.

In the statement signed by Shekarau, the former Kano State governor was much more perturbed by the declaration of Rivers State as a complete Christian state by Wike.

Governor Wike, in his reaction, noted that as a governor of Kano State, Shekarau introduced Sharia law and officially made the state a Muslim State. This action, according to Wike, was premised on the fact that over 95 per cent of Kano people are Muslims, adding that the former President, Olusegun Obasanjo did not stop him neither did Nigerians question his decision.

Speaking through his Aide on electronics media, Simeone Nwakaudu in an article, Governor Wike recalled, “In 2008, Kano State Government under the leadership of Ibrahim Shekarau demolished Christ the King Catholic Church.

“The Kano State Urban Planning Development Agency (KANUPDA) demolished the Church because the Church lacked Certificate of Occupancy. Shekarau’s Administration said the structure of the church at Na’ibawa in Kumbotso local government was removed, after serving them a notice, advising them to prove its legitimacy or removed the church.

“In November 2003, Shekarau sworn-in Hisbah, Zakkat, Sharia Commission Members to consolidate his declaration that Kano is a Muslim State. The establishments’ members were sworn-in at Sani Abacha Stadium after a bill was passed into law by the State House of Assembly for the creation of the establishments. These were agencies of Kano State that promoted one religion to the detriment of others,” the article read in part.

He went further to recall that Shekarau compelled all Christian girls in his State to wear Hijab. “Those who refused to wear hijab under the leadership of Shekarau were asked to withdraw and leave Kano State. He burnt books believed not to promote the Islamic religion”.

Wike further stressed that his declaration that Rivers is a Christian State is a statement of fact, adding that well over 98 per cent of the indigenous population are Christians. He promised to continue to promote religious freedom and tolerance in the state.

Still waiting for that fellow that will type vanity upon vanity... Money is good...

This guy should just say that he bought himself a car because his baby was born. Tell me, is it the baby that'll drive this car?

To be frank I don't think any of them will attend this occasion. There's fire on the mountain right now..

I believe the government needs to start up a campaign to sensitize people of the hazards of having generator working in a confined environment without any form of ventilation. For me, the government needs to be apportioned some blames here, this is negligence on their part for not initiating such move after having seen so many of these cases in recent times.

Okorocha should be the one to apologize to Imolites.... His many sins are yet to be uncovered. Time will tell.
