Microsoft is investing N12 billion in Nigeria. Great News for Developers

[Olatunde Wealth]

Hey guys, the year looks promising as lots of events are going to take place. Microsoft is planning something big which will also benefit developers. Check out the interview I had with the country manager of Microsoft Nigeria yesterday here http://business-matter.com/microsoft-launches-4afrika-initiative/260 

Also, a competition is coming soon with a 'biggy'. (Now when I say competition, I hope this wont generate another controversial talk like the BB10 contests I posted on gtug few weeks back)

Thanks

Awesome, wasn't sure how to respond to that...

Should we chat about Tayshira and Georgina's emails??

Yes. I need to call Georgie first. Seems like we're duplicating efforts.

I don't see the need to be excited . The truth is how will that money impact software vendors in Nigeria , will it drive our hardware and software expertise or is it going to the pockets of people that don't even know the value of technology , my people the best thing is if the money is directly used to provide the infrastructure for an independent developer or a vendor like u and me to put out innovative products and services that will cover not only nigeria but africa and the world . Stay blessed .
