Reasons I will wait for the Playbook!
I love technology – especially if viewed from the lens “technology makes life easier”. But, in my acquisitions, I have always had one guiding principle, ‘juice out the maximum benefit per dollar invested!’ For this reason, I am not always the first of all people to buy new techs, though usually, I am the first […]
Nelson Mandela!
This Sunday, 18 July 2010 the world will gather to celebrate a man who has come to define resilence, conviction, persevrance and brute determination. Nelson Mandela, turns 92 and celebrates 67 years of service to humanity(and his fatherland/mother land if you will). Without pretending to know the history of South Africa or the full details […]

Creating your Soundlides
Soundlide a coinage from the two words sound and slide (as in presentations) is an alternative to video. As you may be well aware it is important to keep documentary records of one’s activities as a social entrepreneur at least to remind yourself someday how far you have come and serve as guide to others […]
Reuben Abati’s Interesting Insights On Today’s Youth Culture…
Cross posted from Chude Jideonwo’s Notes. I will be doing a reflection shortly.
