Career / Re: A Harsh Take On Locally-Trained Nigerians by Wallie(m): 7:00pm On Jun 06, 2013 |
Interesting topic! I actually believe that Asian ogas expect absolute compliance like their Nigerian counterparts. Here’s my anecdotal experience that you can compare with Nigerian ogas. An Asian junior partner in my firm tends to want to have his way almost every time during a debate with other associates. He will argue with you until you give up even though you believe you’re right. In contrast, a Caucasian senior partner once chided me for always agreeing with him when we talk about cases. He said, “Wallie you keep nodding your head in agreement...that’s not want I want!” This is someone with about 35 more years of experience and more plaques on the wall than I have. I now confidently say "hmmm...you're probably wrong because XYZ" Lastly, watch the video below to see the type of subjugation that occurs in Asia! I would have hit him so hard that his nose bone would poke his brain! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43bEczYIQaY |
Business / Re: Crowd Funding In Nigeria. Intelligent minds, lets discuss. by Wallie(m): 6:10pm On Jun 06, 2013 |
With regards to agriculture, there’s very little money to be made unless mechanized or large scale farming is practiced and even then, you’re always a season or two away from wiping off gains made over the years if the weather becomes unfavorable or your livestock gets a major infection. If the government of Nigeria is subsidizing agriculture, like the rest of the western world, then you might be onto something. If I may, I think what Nigeria needs more of, as far as agriculture is concerned, is food preservation and packaging. Can you imagine being able to make fruits or crops available off season or being able to prolong the life of harvested crops long enough to make it to a major market where someone is willing to pay top Naira? |

Here's an article about recalculating Nigeria's GDP that relates to the investment climate that can be created. The article also highlighted a mobile apps development company, Pledge51. http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2013/05/31/187401022/how-recalculating-gdp-can-help-app-designers-in-nigeria I'm interested in this endeavor but I'm not based in Nigeria, which is why I've not attempted to launch such a program (although, I wasn't going to crowd source for investment funds).

Should a husband forgive his wife caught red handed with a guy on top of her? Yes if the guy can look past it and move on with his wife. Would I forgive her if she were my wife? Absolutely f**king not! The sight will forever hunt me! Actually, I’ll probably be in jail by now for acting on my impulse. Should my wife forgive me if she caught me cheating?

Olodostein: Only a naive person would see world issues as being black or white! News flash - in the real world, very rarely would you find black or white issues! Why don't you try getting an attorney to answer yes or no to your questions; what you will hear is a lot of hesitations and qualifications. The only time one should make such pronouncements unequivocally is when you have a strong conviction at the issue at hand. By the way, Obama, and every other president before him makes their decision based on advice given by their expert advisers. Also, Obama is actually seen as the most cerebral president of the last 5 presidents. The fact that you hate or like him will not change that. |

Career / Re: How Can One Overcome Social Anxiety? by Wallie(m): 3:41pm On Feb 22, 2013 |
Anxiety is not always a bad thing only when it becomes paralyzing! I think it keeps you on your toes. Even well known public speakers/performers get nervous at times but the key is knowing how to use it to your advantage. 1. Rehearse the material well in advance beforehand so that you become really comfortable with it. 2. The more comfortable you are on a subject, the easier it is to overcome your initial nervousness once you start talking. 3. Lastly, relax and just let it flow because you’ve rehearsed the same speech a 1000 times before and you should be able to just go into auto-drive. |
Religion / Re: What Can You Do When Prayer & Praises Fail? by Wallie(m): 9:05pm On Feb 19, 2013 |
Let’s look at this logically - 1. Determination to succeed + faith + fate = Will most likely lead to success 2. Determination to succeed + fate = Will most likely lead to success 3. Fate by itself = Will most likely lead to success and is similar to winning the lottery 4. Determination to succeed + faith = Will sometimes lead to success 5. Determination to succeed = Will sometimes lead to success 6. Faith by itself = Will rarely lead to success In all the different variables listed above, “fate” is out of your control as there’s nothing you can do about it. However, you have full control of your “determination to succeed” and “faith”. Prayer is something that cannot be proven or disproven but given the fact that it gives you hope for a better tomorrow and adds another variable to your control, it makes more sense to pray than not to pray. 1 Like |

Politics / Re: Our Culture Of Donating To Charity by Wallie(m): 6:53pm On Feb 13, 2013 |
AjanleKoko: It would be interesting if someone actually provided historical research (pre-slavery) relating to any giving cultures/traditions in Africa. It will be interesting because I think slavery might have something to do with our psyche of only trying to look out for our own or the need we feel to accumulate as much as we can. The funny thing is we never really seem to accumulate generational wealth in Africa anyway! Power – yes but not wealth. All we have are “has-beens” once the parents die off and names that once meant something. Rarely do we have Nigerians with inherited wealth that is built up to surpass their parents’. What am I even saying – rarely do we have people with wealth that lasts their lifetime! For one reason or another, they always end up going broke or in decline before their death. |

Politics / Our Culture Of Donating To Charity by Wallie(m): 4:59pm On Feb 13, 2013 |
We need to cultivate our culture of giving! One of the stark differences between Africans and Westerners is our willingness to help strangers in need. I say strangers because we do have a culture of extending a helping hand to our relatives but only our relatives! I wonder why all these politicians and leaders can’t do something positive that is not business related with all their wealth! About the only time you hear our politicians lending a helping hand is when they’re seeking votes. I came across an article about how Mark Zuckerberg and his wife became the second-biggest charitable donors in the United States last year, which made me wonder if an African can do the same thing. Check out the list: 1. Warren Buffett $3.1-billion 2. Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan $498.8-million 3. John and Laura Arnold $423.4-million 4. Paul Allen $309.1-million 5. Sergey Brin and Anne Wojcicki $222.9-million 6. Mortimer Zuckerman $200-million 7. Fred Fields $191.5-million 8. Carl Icahn $150-million 9. Sheldon and Miriam Adelson $143-million 10. David Gundlach $140-million http://philanthropy.com/section/Philanthropy-50/370/ I’m sure we will be so quick to point out that the people listed above are billionaires and that we will probably do the same if in their shoes! But I’m not so sure because we also do not contribute to charities based on our current income levels. In the US, the median contribution last year is $2,564 which represents 4.7% of the donor’s income. Here’s a break down of the actual figures: Income $50k-$99k Percent of income given (The amount a typical household claimed in charitable contributions as a percentage of its discretionary income.) - 6.0% Average contribution (The average amount of money households donated to charities, as reported to the Internal Revenue Service on itemized tax returns) $2,047 Average discretionary income (The average amount of income earned after excluding taxes, housing costs, and other living expenses.) - $33,985 Total returns (The number of itemized tax returns filed with the Internal Revenue Service in 2008, the most recent year for which data are available) - 19,322,251 Income $100k-$199k Percent of income given - 4.2% Average contribution - $3,361 Average discretionary income - $80,112 Total returns - 12,006,429 Income $200k and up Percent of income given - 4.2% Average contribution - $14,088 Average discretionary income - $339,323 Total returns - 3,965,244 All income levels Percent of income given - 4.7% Median contribution - $2,564 Median discretionary income - $54,783 Total returns - 35,293,924 http://philanthropy.com/article/Interactive-How-America-Gives/133709/#{"panelsStates":[0,3,0,0],"panelShowing":1,"searchString":"","searchChoiceIndex":0,"autoSuggestObject":{},"clickResponse":null,"clickEvent":null,"mapLatLng":null,"mapZoomLevel":"nation","initialTextTitle":"","initialParagraph":"","contibutionCatagories":"0","incomeBrackets":"0","cObj":{},"obj_data":null,"conveyor":0,"noSplash":0} I’m ashamed to say that my donation last year is also below the median figure listed above. Can you imagine if we can be so selfless and give to charities instead of buying that extra piece of “thing” that we don’t really need? (I need to listen to my own advice! ) We can’t just keep waiting for the government to fix things that can be easily done by the private sector! By the way, it is not just money that can be given to those in need. You can donate your services to charities or the less fortunate especially if you have a special skill to offer. For example, in Maryland, lawyers are encouraged to donate legal services pro bono but are required to report the donated services every year even if one donated zero hours otherwise your license to practice law will be suspended. The deadline to report is February 15 and I just reported mine. I'm sure you can guess how many hours I donated! Here’s the rule: "the basic responsibility of each lawyer engaged in the practice of law to provide public interest legal services" without fee, or at a substantially reduced fee, in one or more of the following areas: poverty law, civil rights law, public rights law, charitable organization representation and the administration of justice. Here's the reporting letter that has to be filled out every year: 1. I rendered the following number of hours of pro bono legal service without fee or expectation of fee, or at a substantially reduced fee: 1 We need to do things differently than the generation ahead of us for we are the generation to bring change! Change comes in different forms and not just political but has more to do with our mindset and how we see things. There’s no doubt that our experiences are different because we are the generation of the information age, which results in our generation being more knowledgeable, better exposed and more integrated. So how are you going to make a difference? |

Programming / Re: Your Future As A Software Developer by Wallie(m): 5:54pm On Feb 06, 2013 |
kambo: @2buff (thanks 4 spicy up the section wt ur post) as a programmer, tryng to create a product one thing u'll notice is There isnt enough time in a year! A year has about 8750 hrs. A product may require 5000+ development time, coding, testing, fine tuning. Thats almost a year. So wat do i say, hit the streets and start to sell, most solo developers in naija hav no funding to hire hands (lawyers etc), you'll learn dynamically as you make your mistakes. (this is how eric sink learnt), by the time your selling your 3rd/4th product or starting a company u'd hav picked up some ideas of business gotten lawyer buddies and friends and developed a sense of direction but it starts from making the hit solo green eyed and wet behind the ears. I'm talking of 1man programmer enterprenuer here. For guys starting full blown gigs, i.e making a programming idea into a corporate entity like facebook, google etc. Stick with your technical side and hire best of breed ceo's analyst lawyers also carvort wt big boys in the industry. You'll need their insight and support (zuckerberg was taken under the wings of peter theil , founder of paypal, the character played by timberlake in the movie, *forgotten his name*, contributed also to making facebook take off, the financial ground work was laid by eduardo saverin (somebody help wt the names) so zucker boy had a full team to rob minds with ) . The value of the combined team knowledge compensates for the programmers business knowledge shortfall. Besides a programmer who wants to make money the corporate route make far more than the solo coder. Paul graham, built a product with 2 other programmers, sold the product to yahoo for millions, retired from the rat race got into venture capitalism, all business acumen needed to succeed has come from the streets rather than from a formal school taught programme. Dan brinklin, creator of visicalc, the app that turned apple from a toy to a major domo, lost his opportunity by failing to patent his innovation u may say because he businness savvy but not so fast , his co-developer, that wrote the editor and assembler on the system he used was a harvard mba! . As an mba he was supposed to be conversant wt the legal implication of not building a thorn bush around their creation. So what am i really saying! Some programming ideas can only b fully realized by the owner of that idea, when bricklin talked to other programmers abt his plan , most didnt see the big deal about it. Bricklin,zuckerg, shawn fannings, had to work their behind off to create a working prototype only then , with intense marketing, meetings etc did the business side take. Note:: shawn fannings, creator of napster, is a hard core enterprenuer. How did he get the spirit? From his experience with napster. None of these guys deserted their technical talent by trying to get a business degree. And theyre still innovating (paul graham is creating a new dialect of lisp, fannings has created so many tech startups) the mba/ thing is usually the path of the corporate coder. Because of management pressure (and contempt for programmers) and job loss threat from outsourcing. Corporation building programmers (like zuckerberg, paul graham, joel (founder of fog creek), eric sink, bezos) . Learn on the street and from their non techie teams(lawyers, accountants , industry vets etc). I'm a little late getting back to this thread! @Kambo, can you please “throw” some carriage returns in your post to make it easier to read? I skipped your first post but decided to read this because I think you made some interesting points but the post is very hard to follow. Anyway, I think you’re trying to say that one should stick to what he/she does best? I agree up to a certain extent. You also seem to state that being a software developer is mutually exclusive from being an entrepreneur? Are these your positions? Personally, I think entrepreneurs are just people with varying skill sets that try to build a company out of an idea. However, before your idea becomes a successful company, you need to develop it which is where your skill set will come into play! If you do not have the requisite skill set, you partner or hire those that have it. Having said that, almost all the techies that Kambo listed have the ability to code or, at the very least, develop the needed algorithm. Their ability to code does not make them software developers but it gives them the ability to develop their product or service up to a point (prototype) before getting “real” software coders involved. @AJ I do agree that some companies in India are now more than code-monkeys but for the most part, they do lack specific industry knowledge except if they’ve worked on similar projects in the past. For example, 1. Patent Software – I will still need to give Indian programmers specific instructions to develop software that can navigate US and European patent laws. 2. Air traffic control software – they will most likely need specific instructions. 3. Obamacare Software – even though they might have generic knowledge about the healthcare industry, they will still need specific instructions. A code-monkey, to me, is someone that you need to give specific set of instructions or pseudocode to before they can execute a task! They lack the requisite knowledge to implement a solution except to convert instructions to lines of code. People that do the “manual aspect” of coding (converting instructions to syntax) can be easily replaced but not the person that gives the instructions because that requires industry specific knowledge. |

I think people seeing this opportunity as Lagos misplacing its priorities are missing the point! As a private investor, I will invest my money into a market that I understand and see a potential! If I see a gold mine in canning farts and selling it because people believe it will make them healthy and I understand the business, that’s where I’m going to invest regardless of whether the whole plumbing infrastructure of Lagos is crumbling and presents another opportunity that I do not understand. If cable cars is what I do, it matters very little that there are opportunities in ferries, housing, roads, trains because I do not understand those markets and that’s not what I do. All that matters to me is that there are opportunities in Cable cars that I can leverage. Moreover, it seems people fail to realize that this project compliments other transportation projects!

Politics / Re: Who Will Be The Presidential Candidate Of The Newly Merged Parties? by Wallie(m): 4:01pm On Feb 06, 2013 |
From a strictly numbers point of view, only a combination of candidates that can deliver the North and the Southwest can pose a credible threat to PDP. There are 3 major regions and a winner of any election will need a very strong showing in 2 of the 3 regions OR a decent showing in ALL regions. In today’s political climate, I don’t think there’s a person that can put up decent numbers in all regions of the country. Unfortunately, if a person can only deliver SE and SS, the combination still won’t put up good enough numbers because GEJ will still win majority of the votes from those regions thereby reducing the pie size, and the SW will still be up for grabs. Personally, I think the only thing Buhari can offer Nigeria is a strong anti-corruption stance and respect from the military. But I would rather him anoint someone else because he’s a polarizing figure everywhere except with the common man from the North. Do you really think all those past Northern politicians and leaders would want Buhari to be the President? Also, I don’t believe in recycling leaders as he already had his time under the sun and it’s time for new set of hands that can be trusted. Trusted is the keyword here and the only way one can be certain is to look at the person’s past performance. I see Ribadu as someone that could deliver the North, especially if anointed by Buhari, but also as someone that can also deliver the same anti-corruption stance as Buhari. However, I don’t think he has the executive-type leadership skills needed to grow Nigeria. His skill set is really tailored towards investigation and doggedness. As such, he should be the vice presidential candidate. In terms of leadership skills, foresight and popularity that can deliver the SW (and perhaps, most of Nigeria?), I doubt anybody is better suited than Fashola. Love or hate his policies, he delivers and he delivers big! He is the governor that shamed other governors into performing! Lagos is probably the most diverse state in Nigeria and the most populous with varying competing interests – if you will a microcosm of Nigeria. If you can build Lagos’ economy, you most certainly can build Nigeria. I think Fashola will make a better presidential candidate. Other people that should be members of the cabinet 1. Sanusi for his bluntness and common sense approach. 2. Oshiomole for his progressiveness but might also be needed to make Fashola take a second look at his progressive policies that may be affecting the masses negatively. Someone needs to fight for public policies. 3. Madam Dora – I think she did a great job with NAFDAC even though all that headache in Anambra tainted her legacy 4. Okonjo-Iweala – I think she has been demonized unfairly but one has to understand that her marching orders come from above. She can only do the best she can within directives or policies of her boss. Give her the right policies and I’m certain she’ll perform wonders. 5. Rochas* - I keep hearing his name being brought up don’t I don’t really have an opinion of my own yet 3 Likes |
