My company is working on introducing a contract design and manufacturing service in Nigeria
The aim is to make it easier to produce electronics-based products in Nigeria. Initial emphasis is local design and assembly. while manufacturing will be handled by our partners in china.

we hope to do more and more of the manufacturing locally as we transfer the manufacturing know-how to Nigerian companies and as it becomes more economical to do so.

We are interested in working with other engineers locally in product design and development. if they're willing to work on a profit sharing arrangement.
business men and traders are also welcome as we are able to not only get them their desired products, but also get the underlying technology thereby giving them independence and the flexibility to innovate and cut costs.

that's a great idea. how about collaboration on a technology kinda portal. where all Nigerian technology professionals and hobbyists can come and discuss and share ideas. that is in addition to tutorials.
i believe if we're going to 'launch Nigeria into the technology arena' as you said, then all of us must work together since there so few of us practicing high-tech in Nigeria.

an 8-bit MCU cannot run linux. if you want to run linux try a 32-bit cpu like arm.

for microcontrollers you may want to consider ucos2.

you can get arm cortex from www.microscale-embedded.com which can run ucos2 & uc-gui. ucgui is a small rtos designed for microcontrollers. and with the gui library, you can develop graphics rich applications like games etc.

there are also bigger CPUs that can run the full linux and you can design a lot of wonderful products with them -- and they're cheap.
