[QUOTE]Originally posted by lamin: [QB] @ CT, No need to reinvent the wheel. Improvements in technology these days is had by adding to or just tweaking what's already available. But there are many competent Nigerian computer engineers who would find building a circuit pad child's play. CT, In modern technology--unless there are patents that prevent copying then "tweaking" or building--there is no need to reinvent the wheel. There are Nigerian computer engineers who would find building a circuit pad child's play. Here are 3 examples: 1) Kunle Olukotun http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunle_Olukotun 2)Bartholomew Nnaji http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartholomew_Nnaji 3) Philip Emeagwali. A bit controversial but he did win the Gordon Bell Prize for Computing some years ago. And there are many others who have graduated from places like MIT, Caltech, plus local universities who are just as competent. But there is something imponderable in all this because despite large numbers of engineers in Nigeria and Nigerian engineers abroad there is a deep malaise in that country. It's possibly a hang-over from colonialism plus just too much adulation of whites by the corrupt politicians and government officials. Nigeria receives about $200 million every day from petroleum proceeds so it really should be an easy thing to build a government and private sponsored research institution for top-of-the-line work in computing, but the corrupt, greedy, and ignorant government officials and their entourages do no such thing. They consume as much as they want and live in mansions hidden behind tall walls where there is no lack of electricity and water. And they don't have to travel by those terrible roads since they have private planes to mover around in. The rest of the population just suffers a nd suffers from no electricity, no safe water, no safe roads, poor hospitals. Just the Devil's own children. [/QB][/QUOTE]
