Biography

Born 36 years ago. Joined the Nigeria police force 15 years ago to enable me finance my studies. I eventually graduated from federal university of technology, Minna Nigeria, where I studied Computer/ Electrical Engineering,fulfilling my child hood dream by so doing. I'm still working with Nigeria police force, but my passion remains Engineering. I've been thinking wildly on how to advance technology so that the world will be a better place for us all to live in. Sometimes in November, 2006, shortly after graduating from University, I started wondering how I could have a data base of video films which will then be transmitted electronically to homes of clients/ subscribers to video films. The idea came from video rental shops whose business was to hire out hard copies of video films at a price. They are called video clubs in Nigeria.This has the disadvantage that customers either return the video films damaged or never return them at all. I got thinking and asking questions, taking down notes in the process. I believed I would arrive at a solution since the technology of the day supports the success of the project. Just as I was trying to raise money to build a prototype, I stumbled on the fact that what I was working on had been undertaken by intel, microsoft, and some other company and it was already been test run in the U.S. they called it video on demand. I was calling it electronics video club then. Today, I'm still thinking wildly and hope to have a place among inventors.
