First Blog -New social platform

6 am this morning reading my ritual BBC and CNN app on my ipad , an idea came into my mind about a new social platform to connect with people in my age bracket, yeah am 84 born , live with it .I am not into blogging but this is just for fun hope You read it and get to understand my intentions.

This is how my day starts 5 am I am awake, not really up from bed but literally still in bed but now playing about with my toys -ipad(check my addictive simulation games crush candy, clash of clans , Samsung galaxy s3- facebook( Who got married- HML post sharp sharp)/bb check contact updates(seeing religious or inspirational quotes am like who's interested , I can google it up), Dell laptop and MacBook, .Call me a freak information hungry animal . What am I doing ? Am searching for information . Information to differentiate , information to communicate ,information to interact  and now hopefully information for a start up. Websites like cnn,bbc,al jazera, fox news,Sahara reporters, thisdaynews, daily mail, the mirror , sun newspaper (Nigeria and UK), YouTube am a big Youtuber and I leave critical comments don't worry just constructive feedbacks nothing else (tongues out) , Facebook,twitter, vine, keek and many more . The web is a tree so one link leads You to another .I stay in bed for another hour or two before praying . Yeah it should be the other way round. Hey ho but I prayed am not a monk or a priest , I pray to connect with the superior being ( that's another discussion for another day ).

Chatting up an ex the other day I told Her , I have more information of happenings in Nigeria more than her living back home. Information

WHAT IS INFORMATION?

a (1) : knowledge obtained from investigation, study, or instruction (2) : intelligence, news (3) : facts, data 
Am not a tech savvy genius but I love moving with the trend will define myself as a technocrat with a modernarstic view of the society . ( webster dictionary copy paste 2013)

What prompted me setting up this blog, I said I will never blog but I consider myself more of a writer .I am not courting big corporate companies for  big commercial sponsorship deals . Rather I want to bear to the world my mind ,the mind of a 29 year old scientist who enjoys nothing more than making the society and life more easier to live especially with the daily pressures we get from life .I think this blog is open for discussions , your discussions . Am not the moderator You are. If You want gossip jog on to Lindaikeji, bella naija and loads of other bloggers out there .

So the idea of this write up this morning 1st August is to do something for 2013 , do something to connect with the people in my age bracket, be it a start up, a e commerce website like konga or Jumia ,an e commerce ticket booking company like oya.com, tripiciana,an e commerce eatery booking website( i just used hungryhouse the other awesome , playing my fifa my food arrived) a  fashion vlog on YouTube, setting up Youtube channels ( You tube celebrities) or a vine , keek or Instagram video.



It's a synergy contribute your ideas what can We do entrepreneurially before we hit 35 years to be  tech millionaires (let's forget Nigeria oil blocs for now, We can create our own silicon valley ask iroko king ) . I told my brother the other day on the phone the computer hardware market in Nigeria will decline - ikeja computer village hmmm take note , the age now is developing apps,social media and the software services industry. Instances like Every Nigerian on holiday enjoy flashing the gtb mastercard for easy shopping , I got stranded in sheffield last year missed my train , a fast internet connectivity and iphone I got a train ticket next day and an hotel reservation for the night. LIKE APPLE says THERE's AN APP FOR IT

Am not an expert in any life discussions but this is a Q & A session. I will go to any length to get answers or You can get answers for the group as well. Post your life questions or ideas on the comment box below.

Remember a life not worth taking a risk is no life at all. Mate this is my own quote I just made it up lol .risks I mean are doing things You are not comfortable with like reading this blog,never knew reading can be fun  . Staying on the comfort zone for a long time is not really ideal for a young man or woman, You are not crippled or down with Down's syndrome. Its not been blinded by over zealous ambitions o.

My question today is Why didn't You up hustle hard in your late 20s to mid 30s as an individual ? What held You back? This is question is posed to both men and women(equal rights mate)

This blog will bring You loads of tech, life and start up news . All You need to do this read and comment . Your comments spurs me in writing more . But watch out for more  posts  featuring innovative start up companies, start up ideas  , relationship discussions( I sound like a guidance counsellor now)  especially Africa not Nigeria  but Africa . TINA - This is the new Africa . A lot of emerging and developing African countries out there forget Egypt the Muslim brothers are still at war .

Most especially this is what I will be doing more now , I will copy links from top bloggers and rant about it here depends on the gossip You want to hear, I will do reviews of new techs as well .

PS : Am a professional doing my 9-5 each day with a 10 day break in my present job this is the time I use In writing but Wooosshh !!! might give up my job for a more adventurous journey (lips sealed don't ring my company o before they think am resigning or get me fired o ) .

Disclamer: Equally any gbagun You see on this blog forgive and forget Am still in bed and this is an informal chat with you



Yours truly
