The guy is an idiot and deserved what he got. He should have simply maintained the status quo and enjoyed the free browsing in peace.

ManTiger:

Guy, some research are too big to consume all alone I know this because I am the owner of the twitter handle.
I lived in an environment where there was no electricity, to accomplish the research alone then was a very difficult task and not getting motivation or someone to show interest in the idea was killing me by leading me into depression gently.

I did tried everything to get one of these PayTv to listen to my plea but they turned deaf hear, enjoying free browsing cannot solve my problem because I run generator to power the PC and my PC back up was so poor that it can only last for 45min.

I needed $2220 to document and license the invention back then according to AORCS (US Attorney), I raise and sent over $1000+ to the lawyer that was meant to facilitate it and get an angel investor to invest in the idea but I also ended up being scammed!

Put yourself in my shoe and imagine how difficult life was as a fresh graduate!

SalamRushdie:
But the bottom line is that he gave up on his dream an d today somebody is trying to satrt it up ..Till date I still wonder and ask why DSTV Never tried to also distribute home broad band with its equipment which was already designed to do that

ManTiger:

Yea, I never give up bro, I have several inventions I've completed and some I'm working on and this time i'm stronger.
@ the bolded, DSTv as I think has alot of innovation already but they wanted to exploit each of their invention before bringing out another.
The Original explora design was made to perform more than the function it has and for techy individuals who has exploral, there are ways it can be tweak to enjoy several functions meanwhile DSTv has a very serious firewall that was designed in a 4way to shield their encryption, the truth is, impossible is nothing.

Thanks to Opoki the OP for sharing my news.

SalamRushdie:


Nice to meet you

Opoki:

Its a pleasure bro. I knew you must be a Nairalander. Nice to meet you.
So you were just browsing back them and streaming porn. Lol . No insult meant.

ManTiger:

Lol. my brother, serious streaming, I downloaded chunks of it, but it was killing me softly, I wasn't living a fulfilled life, not having money to proceed with other researches was killing plus I was a commercial student, so I had to get my basics from principle of Physics, 5th edition precisely, majorly I was reading extensively online, sending applications to secure a job and streaming all dem bangbros site.

For those who might be thinking I gave up my dream, the frustration was massive, If i don't let the device and the wild imagination/thought go, perhaps I would have been living a fugitive life by now because I was able to make some powerful discoveries and all sort of unethical hacking which later become loopholes many people with no real source of income like HushPuppi are using to defraud. I had the means to go dip into unethical hacking especially after making friends with faceless people from China, Russia, Bangladesh etc. but I rather dump the idea and fortunately someone set me up and the whole box of research was stolen and I vow never to go through the stress all over again!

Attached was my draft back then.

Always work in a team of 3, learn from the startup of Bill gates, instead of going to DSTV you should have entered Alaba Market to find sponsors.

You are lucky it is only your house they burgled, they could have easily given you an injection to make you go mad.

It's not that easy getting investors in Nigeria. If someone come to you for 10million to start a biz, start up biz o.... U go give am?

Either work, save.and use Ur money to start Ur biz or if u are lucky, manage get a job with a company in the line if business, save up and go start your own company.

That's how Tony Elumelu started UBA.

Don't bother yourself on people who have not taken the risk beyond waking up from their bed...

I was discussing a startup with some UK companies and one of them told me "we are not onboarding entities from Nigeria for now". I was like shuo, God dey!..

Giving up was your greatest undoing. You should have sought for good people that could work with you and be persistent.

Sorry bro. Being a Nigerian is a big frustration. Electricity will drag you back, people will try to steal your idea and run away instead of rendering some help, expensive gadgets to test your proposition etc etc etc. I am also into some research but the problems highlighted above could make your head blow off sometimes.

For weeks, I had to sleep in my small lab because electircity was restored in the mid night. There was a time I needed to test video conferencing via some wireless links in my neighbourhood. I had to beg people around to put on their gen for me. What about the quality of electricity if finally restored? I usually had the premonition that my equipment would blow off someday.

That's why we don't progress. Some persons are okay with the status quo. They make money from it.
