It is an obvious fact that the time of Moses was more like the stone age, it was more of the time before invention begun.


Who is a Dj?

The word Dj is the short form of Deejay or Disc Jockey. Djs are involved in special type of performance.

The world’s first Radio Disc Jockey was recorded in 1909, a 16 years old boy by name Newly Began, he studied Engineering and Wireless at Herrold College.

Over the years, Dj performance became more technical as it has become a profession of some people. In the year 2012, study showed that there were about 1¼ million in the world who are professional Djs.


The time of Moses
During this time there was no such thing as Party Dj, Virtual Dj, Club Dj, even Mc due to the fact that they did not have such technologies back then.

Imagine when Moses went to the mountain to get the commandments, the Israelite were celebrating their new found god.

Here is a question: did they have a Dj?

The answer is yes

They had the performing musicians , who were skilled in music performance.

I believe, this was how they rocked their way to the promise land while praising God. Am certainly sure they did not miss out on all the fun.

Africans are popularly known as Negros and are known for their strength, African fathers and mothers had always believed in hard work. But over the recent years, the new African generations have grown flair for the internet and technology.

Although some African parent have wholeheartedly welcomed technology and acknowledge its importance, yet there are many African women who still don’t value technology.

In this article, I am going to share my views and express my concern because I believe technology is a way into the future and our African mothers should start seeing it that way.

Current statistics shows that African has a total of about 333,965,359 internet users and a population of 124,568,500 Facebook users, Nigeria leading with an estimate of 9,292,699,924 internet users and over 150,000,000 Facebook users.

Currently in Africa there has been a great increase in mobile data usage. Forecast reveals that between 2014 – 2015, there has been a double increase in mobile internet traffic through out Africa.

Back to the question: "why African mothers don’t value technology".

1. Technology is a money devourer

Majority of African women see technology as a burden they need to do away with.
a mother of a 16 years old recently told me.

“I give Jerry, my son a weekly allowance of N10,000, I learnt recently that this money is all being spent on ordering gadgets from Jumia and Alieexpress. For the past 3 months he hasn’t been eating well in school and worst of all is that he sees no other activity worth his pocket money”

Mindless behaviors like this had made many mothers see technology is a money devourer.

It seams Chelsea is still waiting before they make more bid

You know it can be a distraction to people like me... And a few others... But like i said in my post... The priest appologized for his actions...

One of the Priest in Philippines was suspended for riding a hoverboard during a Christmas Eve service.

CNN news reported:
"The priest, who hasn't been named, used the toy to glide in and out of rows of churchgoers while singing a Christmas song in English and Tagalog, which was caught on camera and has since gone viral,".

Members of the congregation seem to be enjoying the display as some of them were taking photos while others videos

The Roman Catholic Diocese of San Pablo, in a Facebook post, stated the priest will take time to think on what he has done.

According to the post
The Eucharist demands utmost respect and reverence. It is the Remembrance of the Lord's Sacrifice. It is the Church's highest form of worship and is the source and summit of Christian life. Consequently, it is not a personal celebration where one can capriciously introduce something to get the attention of the people .

The priest acknowledged that his action was not right and that it was a wake up call for him. He promised that it will not happen again.

"He will be out of the parish and will spend some time to reflect on this past event."

He said he is truly sorry for his actions.
