FACTS: 13 Interesting Details You Need To Know About Murtala Muhammed

Image
One of Nigeria’s most remembered leaders, 37-year-old Murtala Muhammed, was killed on February 13, 39 years ago, in an abortive coup attempt led by Lt. Col Buka Suka Dimka. Many years have passed, but the nation still remembers its great leader. President Goodluck Jonathan via his Facebook page spoke about Murtala: “Today marks the 39th anniversary of the death of that great Nigerian hero, Murtala Mohammed, who gave his life for this great nation. In his lifetime he espoused the belief that Nigeria had come of age and is ready to play her rightful role as the leader of the Black Race and a hub for progressive government on the African continent. Thankfully, Nigeria has immortalized Murtala’s legacy in books and monuments and will continue to do so such that our youth can learn from his life of purpose and commitment to higher ideals.

Tech innovations through partnerships

Image
Chukwuemeka Fred Agbata Jnr. A lot of tech enthusiasts these days are barely making headway in their quest for driving innovation into this fledging industry. This is because they are always trying to hide some of the projects they are working on from the prying eyes of fellow techies so as to prevent what is known as intellectual theft. Although they may have a point, I dare say that successful innovations in the tech world are rarely achieved with the efforts of a single individual. Tech landmarks have always been the result of collaboration of efforts among tech enthusiasts, with individuals bringing their wealth of experience into such formidable partnerships. The synergy often gives rise to unprecedented breakthroughs in technological innovations. From Apple to Google, Microsoft, Asana, Mainone and Swift networks, it has been a story of partnerships or collaborations. The need to write this piece arose when, a few days ago, I strolled into a cybercafé run by a long tim...
