Cloud ... International Scholarships Jobs week ending 11 March 2018

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).

Goals ... International Jobs Scholarships week ending 11 February 2018

Nigerian Oil Families

Well the shrinking of borders and rise of the web 2.5 platforms is enabling the spread of information faster than we could have ever thought. For a long time Nigerians have wondered who were the families that controlled their collective wealth. Now facts have begun to emerge and names assigned to concealed faces.

Below is a list of the families and consortiums that collectively own and distribute Nigeria's oil wealth. While the hoi polloi gnash at each others heels these ones do not fight each other except for greater stakes in our collective wealth. It must be said however that they were awarded these licenses by the Nigerian government so? Show them some respect if you cant show them love!

Do you recognise one or all of them? Beneath the list we also include a reply from the former Presidential spokesperson and Harvard Fellow - Mr Segun Adeniyi.
