Tech Matters. And "space" matters.

10 years of the co-Creation Hub!  

 

commonly referred to as Cc-HUB or the HUB, 

a technology-oriented centre located in Yaba, a district of Lagos, 

provides a platform where technology-oriented people share ideas,   

solving social problems in Nigeria - source, Wikipedia 

20 years of the New Afrika Shrine!

"Seun Anikulapo-Kuti is a son of the late AfroBeat legend and a musician himself. After the police had taken over his father's property, he announced that he would be resurrecting Movement of the People, a political ideology which was at the very heart of most of Fela's lifelong crusade against social injustice and political oppression."

  

Speaking of shrines, 

 

Are you a social person?  Have you ever thought of creating a Hub?  What kind of space would you like to enable?

1 of 6 Josefina Andrés (@josefinaandres) sees herself as a woman who photographs women. The inspiration came first from the women in her own family: “My mom and my aunts have spent their lives taking care of and helping others while remaining kind and loving,” says the 32-year-old, who lives in Valencia, Spain. “They taught me how to focus on my goals and inspired me to do so from a patient and caring place.” ⠀ See more of Spanish photographer @josefinaandres’s story this week on @vogue. ⠀ // ⠀ Josefina Andrés (@josefinaandres) se ve a sí misma como una mujer que fotografía a otras mujeres.

This was my first time listening to Nigerian music and I really enjoyed it. It had a cool, upbeat vibe and I really like Runtown's sound.

An Indian-American dream - 

Indian-Americans run about 40% of America's hospitality industry – and 70% of those Indian-Americans have the last name “Patel.”

Coming next week (January 19th at 12 noon): 

SHELL MD Discusses PIB, etc on 40 FM Radio Stations Nationwide with Martin Udogie

-------------------- 

Mr. Mutiu Sunmonu is the Managing Director of Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria (SPDC). He is also the Chair of all Shell Companies in Nigeria and Vice President Production, Shell sub-Saharan Africa.

There is no sector in Nigeria more strategic than the oil and gas sector. It accounts for over 90% of Nigeria’s foreign exchange earnings; and therefore a key driver of the economy. Activity in the sector has a major impact on jobs and wealth creation for the country and its citizens.

And Shell is Nigeria’s biggest oil and gas producer, as well as the only one, of all the IOCs (international oil companies), with a Nigerian as the managing director, dating as far back as 2005!

In this interview, Mr. Mutiu Sunmonu takes on all the strategic and contentious issues in the sector, the opportunities and challenges, Shell immediate and future plans, etc. Among these are: The PIB (Petroleum Industry Bill), Gas Flaring, Gas Pricing for power generation, The Local Content Act, etc.

He makes some startling revelations. Did you know that 80% of Shell marine businesses go to indigenous companies? That all Shell new projects do not flare gas? And that Shell gas flaring will soon exceed global industry standards? That Shell is setting up a Foundation to help SMEs build capacity to be better positioned for more oil and gas business opportunities? ETC.

This show will air at 12 noon, on Saturday, January 19th, 2013, on all 40 FM stations of Radio Nigeria. See list of the stations above or listen online at www.radionigeriaonline.com
