NIGERIA, DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION AND THE FUTURE.

I was having a chat with someone this morning and he wasn't too kind with Senator Ben Bruce for taking some positions as regards a shift from our over-reliance on crude oil to a more futuristic renewable energy.

The whole world is moving away from crude oil but our leaders are so fixated on it. It is even more worrisome that this present Government is spending billions looking for non-existent crude in the chad basin.

The Swedish car giant Volvo ( now owned by geely, a Chinese firm), expects electric cars to make up 50 percent of its global sale. Other car manufacturers are even more aggressive by rolling out electric models like the Nissan's 'Leaf' and the Toyota's, 'Prius', not forgetting Tesla that has already rolled out several models of electric cars and are clearly blazing a trail of innovation.

It is things like this that gets me worried-the lethargy of the Nigerian government in seeing the proverbial hand writing on the wall. My friend whom i mentioned aboved is still ensconced in a cocoon of false security and cannot see the swinging pendulum. He believes petrol-powered cars will remain forever and car manufacturers will keep producing such cars.

Senator Ben Bruce is thinking futuristic and i love that. Most Nigerian leaders and strategists are not fluid enough. The business world is dynamic and changing fast. Businesses needs to be fluid enough to adjust and change quickly.
Disruptive innovation is quickly changing the topography of the business world. That is what is coming in the horizon and Bruce has seen it. Many business has become obsolete as a result of innovations that were disruptive. We can remember the days of VHS video players, VCDs, typewriters, floppy disk,CD Roms etc. They have all been overtaken,and a big one is coming in the horizon -electric cars!
One of the things that did RIM(Blackberry) and nokia in was that they weren't fluid enough to notice the change and adapt to it and they suffered for it by losing their market share. Samsung, infinix and tecno saw the direction and followed it
.Nigeria is so reliant on crude oil and it doesn't portend good for this nation.

utenwuson:
Africa will always use oils.... All those gimmick can't work here, we can't produce those electric cars meaning we should be importing them.... That's not innovative but buying foreign technology and keep boasting their revenue

When the whole world move away from manufacturing petrol powered cars, then i wonder which manufacturing company will still have the gumption to produce your cars, and even if some third party folks decide to go into production of parts, its gonna be so damn expensive. Recently, Volvo said they will soon stop manufacturing patrol powered cars. Other car companies are scrambling to get a foothold of the market.
Ben is thinking futuristic and i love that man. Most Nigerian leaders and strategists are not fluid enough. The business world is dynamic and changing fast. Businesses needs to be fluid enough to adjust and change quickly.
Read up on disruptive innovation. That is what is coming in the horizon and Bruce has seen it.

I can go on to specifics but i don't have all that time.

No be only stem na steam...... This oyibo talk way too much to remain relevant.

His bills are too funny, from electric cars to solar bikes and now to steam

Want to still sponsor bill while u aren't a senator, just be telling Dino to help u say then on the floor, just that Dino can't explain all this sh,t

Those are noble drives and you wont understand the dynamics until several decades from now. Other counties are going green, we are depending on oil. It will become irrelevant soon and Nigeria will be in a sorry state

How did you gain admission to study law? Let me guess, your parents "encouraged" you knowing very well you don't have the credentials and potential for the programme?

Truth is there are no dull people, only individuals who failed to identify their areas of strength. Your problem started when someone decided to pay your way into law programme.

I think you've gone too far to withdraw from school so strive harder and complete your studies. On completion, you can build a new path by first learning to discover yourself, who you are, and what you're good at.

All the best sir

At op, i don't really have time to say much because this bro here has said my mind. Get ur certificate and do what u know best

Dont mind the idio ts telling you school is scam. Look at our political class, those who didn't do any schooling are regretting and employing 32 SANS TO defend them bubu comes to mind

charliboy654:
Lol, I saw that comment.

Lol. I fear the guy

bjt:
Somebody showed us one ICT centre he built in Kogi that looks like a 3 bedroom bungalow without a single picture of how the inside looks like.

Pls kindly look for that picture and repost here

He actually enslaved her 48 hours not only f*cking her but held her in bondage performing all kinds of inhumane act on her BDSM has to do with bondage discipline dominance submission sadomasochism, there is no way she could called for help cause she might have been tied up with a sealed mouth

Exactly. Nairaland youth don't read wide but be forming expert. Imagine in another thread, someone was wondering how i was able to read a lengthy post and quickly deduced i was jobless. Smh

saasala:
You mean you read that lenghty post?

You need a job bro

.
For your information, i do have a job. And i resigned just yesterday from the other firm where i function as a consultant so i can focus on my PhD.

Its rather unfortunate that most Nigerian youth dont read. Its truly horrible. No wonder they are where they are.
Someone once said, to hide something from a black man, put in a book.
I know this my lengthy post will be tiring for you to read. Smh

Something is not adding up in this story. Didn't she do a bvn? Wasn't her picture on the mandate in the said bank? Somebody is not telling the truth.

This calls for forensic investigation and if the woman is right, her balance should be restored by the bank and compensstion paid for her incarceration.

Dikimo:
i thought you were reasonable and could have quest for knowledge but all that enters your mind is scam.
i teach this for free and have been doing it for years now..i know some that i met on this platform.even the book i wrote was born out request from one of my students. everybody is not a scammer so lea
rn to respect people. im not accountable to you nor do i owe you any explanation as to begin to tell you my qualifications.

If truly you had nothing to hide, then you would have mentioned initially that your services are free and quit mentioning the book( i know you are planning on selling it)
Mr reasonable and intelligent, i have no grouse with you.. You make me laugh when you say you want to help people. You are out for business, which is not wrong but you must prove you are competent and eminently quality, that's all. Not some fake ass imp bent on ripping people who are having fertility challenges.
Maybe i should invite some of the mods here.

I won't dignify you with a response anymore as this will suffice.

Godoverevery:
ds not a loan bro..... maybe you sud read my previous post so you can understand the genesis of the whole thing.

U still haven't got the drift. Any money you borrowed a lady you are romantically linked with is good as gone.

My philosophy: only borrow money you can afford to lose, so if it doesn't cone back, u won't cone here and write epistles.
Inviting police is just raising more acrimony. Make up with her and keep gbenshing her till you are sure you have reached the 100k mark, then leave her.

Dikimo:
lol

Then you are definitely a scam if you can't point out your professional qualifications. Am done talking to you.
Anyone doing business with this character should tread with caution.

Dikimo:
Im not surprised you sound this way.some people think what they dont know dont exist. this was how a man told me he has been a medical doctor for years but ended up coming back to me and still recommends people to me..
nams77 my dear ,that you dont know does mean another does not.

Kindly give details about your qualifications and pedigree. That's all

Look-wise, i prefer the pilot but at the end of the day, looks alone is not all that matters.
So i will go with the Volvo for safety. Ruggedness and cheaper parts

A corolla 03-06 should be OK. For me, i will go with an 09 civic american spec. Im not a Toyota fan boy.

If the engine and interior is good, and i have the money, i wouldn't mind.
With the high rate of kidnapping these days, it would be wise to travel the warri to port-harcourt highway in this, to avoid story that touch
Go for it oride

There is a science for 100% success. This I have applied to a lot of persons myself inclusiive with 100% success.

My brother, you are not talking to a lay-man. This is a subject i have vast knowledge about (let me not say more)
I know you are moving towards the direction of business. Do you mind telling/showing us your qualifications and pedigree? This is not an all-comers field. It is a specialized field handled by professionals in that field.
Im not against your hustle though, just prove your self and carry on

It is true but not really a precise science, as in 100% . it increases the likelyhood of determining a particular chosen sex. to a very high degree. All these falls under assisted reproductive technique.
But my grouse with op is he wanting to commercialize this.

oweniwe:
@ ibkayee your own better.

My mama own plenty...

If mosquito bite her, it is witchcraft mosquito

If thunder sound outside, it is devil

Every elderly woman from our village who is her mate or older is either in occult or is a witch

All young girls are suspected thieves because her skirt got missing after some neighbours told her "my girlfriend" came to visit. Skirt she has not worn in 5 years. From then on If any female friend comes to visit me, she will run to lock her wardrobe and hide the keys

If i have cattarh early morning, village witches sent it to me, she will start praying seriously

Every now and then out of the blue, she will bring cup of bitter agbo/herbs and start preaching/lecturing on how it will make my body strong gbam.... If i refuse to drink it, she will start passing side remarks that i am disobedient child.

I go dey enjoy my sleep for midnight only to be woken up with her hands all over my body praying God knows what prayers

Im forbidden from placing laptop on my lap or any part of my body while charging it because electricity can shock me. If i ignore her, she will go turn off the wall socket say i no dey hear word.

Illiteracy is very bad thing... Especially when mixed with spirikoko



NB: i didn't grow up with her. My folks forked uo wen i was 5 or so... I never really know her personally until last month she was sick i bought her to stay with me. I sometimes wonder, is this really my mother?

@ ahnie greetings ma

My brother no be illiteracy. Na African mother's love na so e dey be. That prayer part got me. Na my mama second be that. My mumsie go call u for phone begin pray

His excellency? Hmm. Now how is this news, nairaland moderators

Lexusgs430:
Wetin hapin to cooking at home....... Or soaking garri and kuli kuli......

Now this is alarming. Do u know how transport business operates? While he is far away from home shuttlling passengers from point to point he should now go back home to eat? What if he is a bachelor and didn't cook that day or doesn't even cook at all.
Have you tried drinking garri and doing hard menial job?

I don't know what i did to anger my mum. She hardly ever go angry but that day i flipped her and she let loose.
I was still young probably primary6 or JS1. I was standing with a bowl of soup. Can't remember what i did to get her angry but she threw a book or slippers at me and it caught the bowl of soup in my hands and the soup poured on my laps. Funny thing was that i wasn't wearing pants( i was naked). The peppery soup got into my P$#%& and come see cry.
My mum almost went berserk when she saw me sprawling on the ground yelling in agony A mother's love sha!
I no dey forget that day

Majesticniyi:
I concluded a while back that the average fathers in our generation failed at their jobs. Most people would deny this openly but they know its the truth. Most did not have it as bad as you though. Shout out to the Mothers....they basically made most of us who we are. I hope the current new crop of fathers would not repeat the mistakes of their fathers.

My dad was sterling while i was growing up. Man sacrificed everything for us to go to school. Sometimes going without new clothes for so long coming from someone who was so fashionable in his younger days.

Nowadays, i wonder how he managed to cater for three of us in the uni at once. Me sef dey struggle with one
The man swore he will see us all through uni and he eventually did. The burden was just too much, probably reason he came down with stroke.

I had so much fun memory with my dad. He took us to the airport to see and aeroplane, took ua aboard a ship after discussing with a captain at the Warri NPA. I remembered when our little tortoise car broke down on the highway. Dad just came down calmly and pushed the beetle aside while we, starry-eyed kids were reposed at the back seat. I can write a full book on times spent with dad. He taught me my love for book( i have such voracious appetite for knowledge). He had a small library. My dad taught me my love for music. We always wake up by 5 to music of oriental brothers, Donna summer, Abba, Jermaine Jackson, Jackson 5, kabaka etc.
The only small incident i had with him was when i was in ss2 and i strolled past him with my sweetheart while returning from extra mural class. He sat outside watching me stroll by without saying a word. When i later bounced in after9pm, i received a dirty slap. I refused to eat that night.
I renembered when i offended my mum. She threw a slippers at my and offset the plate of soup i was holding. The thing poured all over my lap and i wasn't weren't pant then. I saw oba that day as the pepper enter where he no supposed enter. Lol. Mum almost went mad when she saw me sprawled on the floor crying
I also remembered when i had a little argument with dad. He was about traveling with mum. He drove away and returned back and mum said i should apologize to my father as he was not composed on the steering wheel. I apologized and we made up and they continued their trip.
Rosarie i am sorry u had a bad time growing up. Not all men are that way, hence my little story above. Take care of ur kids and bear no grudge against your dad. Let him settle with his maker

dicksonadams:
Can't find any on nairaland yet

Honda civic04-05.
The 01-03 civics were proned to transmission issues.
Or
Mercedes Benz c class. (w202).
These two will serve u well.

U can check jiji but pleaaase shine ur eyes

BeardedTraveler:
Okay thanks. The low ground clearance shouldn't be a problem in the long run sha. Cos one will get used to it

I have even overlooked that fact. I simply love that car

jaszplus12:
Nice advice bro! But the situation is not as bad as it is! But I bet you'll from hence really begin to think about putting one on your wall!

I have thought about it but dropped the idea. I can't imagine getting up from home with the intention of going to buy a clock. I can't muster the willpower.
On the other hand, i love wrist watch. The only way i can buy a wall clock is if i miraculously find my self in a clock shop with loose changes in my pocket.
I was just kidding about the obsessive compulsive disorder. E never reach like that

Guy ...no clock for my house. Never had a wall clock all my life. Not when i was single and not even now that I'm married. Just worried how u will feel when u visit me
U are compulsively obsessed with wall clocks. See a psychologist
Obsessive compulsive disorder loading ....just kidding u tho

captainking:
exactly...i read that honda civics 09 and above corrected a lot of issues with the previous models

Most times, its always good to by a facelifted model. That's my opinion. In most case, nagging issues with the model are corrected in the facelift model
