Team Nigeria's Captain to the London 2012, Chika Chukwumerije 

Team Nigeria's Captain to the London 2012, Chika Chukwumerije is yet to know who he is going to take on in his opening fight of the men's taekwondo +80kg category.
After winning a bronze medal in the category at the last Games in Beijing, China, four years ago, the scion of the Chukwumerije is looking forward to improving on his past achievement.
Speaking at the athletes' Games Village in Stratford Wednesday, Chukwumerije admitted that he is yet to know the opponent he is going to start his gold hunt against.
"We’re still in the dark on our opponents but I know that (Adam) Isah will fight on August 9 and I will fight on August 11," said the soft spoken son of Senator Uche Chukwumerije.
Despite the information black-out, the mechanical engineering graduate remained focused on the task ahead of him here. As captain of the Nigerian team to this edition, he is certainly looking forward to showing good example.
“So far, we are ok here,’’ he said beaming a smile of confidence even as his Korean coach, Keum Silwan appears to share the feelings of his ward with a nod too.
"We received 100 per cent training and will give 100 per cent during our fights. Isah and I are doing well,’’ stressed the taekwondoist fondly called ‘Yaga’ by friends.
He is looking forward to the August 6 date when the Taekwondo draws for the Olympics would be conducted.
Secretary of the Taekwondo Federation of Nigeria (TFN), Chinedu Ezealah-Ogundare, assured Nigerians that the taekwondo team will deliver on promise.
"We’re one united family. We need prayers because these players have done their best to ensure victory for Nigeria in the sport here in London,’’ she concluded.

On Anambra the Governor says "To Be"

The Governor responds by himself. By Mr Peter Obi Reading Mallam Nasir el-Rufai’s column of last Friday (Anambra's budget of misplaced priorities), it became clear that the only way to react to his ‘expert’ analysis of Anambra State is to dispel some of his incorrect assertions about the state; but without recourse to technical data that is now confirmed to be largely incorrect. An expert making categorical pronouncements on any state in Nigeria ought to first ensure that his data on the state is gathered from ‘experiencing’ the state, preferably first-hand, rather than from second-hand information; much of which may be flawed by ignorance or outright malice. We note the comparative data on indices of development, but their value is marred. EL-RUFAI’S ANAMBRA STATE: As seen through el-Rufai’s prisms, Anambra is adjudged to be witnessing increasing crime rate, infrastructure deficits, a number of strikes over minimum wage, higher tax burdens, exodus of  the

Most developers spend about 60% of their time building and the rest of their time learning. Often the research is proactive, due to personal interest or a desire to ensure skills are up to date. I am in this camp . At other times it is borne of sheer necessity. You learn what is vital to tackling your next big project. I am also in this camp (no one says you have to choose ). In the past new projects assumed a hosted or on premise approach. The project manager and system designer had to think about the essential requirements like scalability, availability and (of course) security. In the present we still need to deliver on these essentials but the app developers now need to do a lot more ( as always ). They need to span the globe, support millions of users, curate petabytes of data, glean insights and delight users in new ways. Enter the cloud . As observed previously , cloud services deliver built in scalability and availability. The best providers also provid
