Electricity prices will take a leap, not necessarily of faith, on June 1, 2012 as government is saying we need that to attract investors. Now that is faith which is an evidence of things not seen as I haven’t seen anything this government, and the ones before, have done even when they tell us to [...]
The Cement Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (considering their acrimonious relationship, I wonder how they managed to form a group) and Business Day Newspaper are stumping for a conference to promote concrete as an alternative to road paving. In Nigeria, even unborn babies know that our major issues are beyond electricity or lack of it (babies [...]
Gmail now offers free 10Gb of space. And 5Gb for documents and then another 5Gb for drive. Microsoft’s Skydrive is 25Gb for old customers and loads of other places to shutter dross. Some days storage wouldn’t be measured anymore. Trust me, someone is going to try that soon.
