Super Sleighs in Boxing Day thriller, lifts Santa CupIT was all smiles for Super Sleighs Polo Club players and supporters on Sunday, as the team put up a spirited effort to subdue its opponent, Mistle Toes, in the final battle for the Santa Gold Cup 2010 tourney. Organised and hosted by the clubs management committee, the Santa Cup that pitted four equally matched teams comprising an exciting mix of established names and upcoming players, was the highlight of the clubs Boxing Day celebration. Some of the notable names that vied for honours during the event were Ayo Olashoju, Bode Makanjuola, Muyiwa Sonubi, Musty Fasinro, Osaro Giwa-Osagie, Adamu Yaro, Sahabi Tukur, Ali Saffiedene and Lukman Adebayo. Others were Bashir Dantata (Jnr) Tunde Karim, Khinde Soyannwo, Yinka Alakija, Tajudeen Saro, Yemo Alakija and the vastly improved Kayode Awogboro. Four teams were created from 16 players, who confirmed their participation in the one-day tournament. The teams were Super Sleighs, Mistle Toes, Reindeers and Fire Crackers. In the first match, Super Sleighs proved a better side, winning four against the three and half goals scored by Fire Crackers. Defender Adamu Yaro was the hero of the first game with his two goals, which secured victory for Super Sleighs. Lukeman Adebayo of Fire Crackers also scored two goals in the first game, but his effort was not enough to see his team through to the final. Sahabi Tukur, playing for Fire Crackers, Muyiwa Sonubi (Super Sleighs) and Osaro Giwa-Osagie (Super Sleighs) got a goal each in the first game. The second match between Mistle Toes and Reindeers recorded eight goals, with Mistle Toes gaining the upper hand with five goals. Bashir Dantata grabbed two goals for Reindeers, but his effort was not enough to see the team to the final. The trio of Tajudeen Saro, Yemo Alakija and Mustie Fasinro scored one each for Mistle Toes, but it was the man of the match, Kehinde Soyannwo, who grabbed two goals to take the game beyond the Reindeers. The final match was a ding-dung affair, as the two teams played with caution. But at the end, it was Super Sleighs that carried the day, winning 2-1 against hard-fighting Mistle Toes. Prizes were later presented to the winners and other players that distinguished themselves in the competition. According to the Secretary of Polo Management Committee, Bode Makanjuola, the Santa Cup tourney, which was funded by contributions from members of the club, is planned as an annual fixture on the clubs calendar to mark the Christmas holiday. Another in the series of mini tournaments to be hosted by the highbrow polo club is the President Cup billed for the first weekend of year 2011. The events, which also serve as build-up to the Ibadan annual tourney and the Lagos International Polo Tournament warm-up, would be decided over two weekends.

Jos: We hold govt liable for blasts CANOUTPOURING of condemnation from the Christian community, yesterday, greeted the deadly Christmas eve bomb blasts in Jos. According to some Christian leaders, the Federal Government could have nipped the attacks in the bud since there had been rumours of a pending violent disruption during the Christmas celebrations over a month ago. The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, and all the Christian leaders including the Prelate, Methodist Church Nigeria, His Eminence Sunday Ola Makinde and CAN chairman in charge of north central, Rev. Yakubu Pam, who spoke on the development, held the Federal Government culpable for the blasts. In a telephone reaction, the National President of CAN, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, the Federal Government, which is the only constitutional government that can handle the perennial sectarian crises in the north, had not developed enough political will to deal with the issue. According to him, if sponsors of past ethno-religious crises had been identified and prosecuted in accordance with the laws of the land, the Friday bombings could have been averted, stressing that each there is an eruption, a panel is set up which often submits its reports with much funfair and promises to deal with the remote causes of the crises. Oritsejafor pointed out that no sooner the dusts die down than government and the security outfits who are privy to the reports go to sleep, stressing that the blasts were likely to be the handiwork of disgruntled politicians determined to cause mayhem in the country before the 2011 elections. The CAN president therefore appealed to Christian youths to remain calm and go about their lawful duties whenever it was safe for them to do so, noting, I have always urged Christians to defend themselves whenever they come under any attack, but the situation on hand is dicey and must be handled with maturity. Also speaking in a telephone interview, the Methodist prelate described the attacks as unfortunate and senseless killings of innocent human beings which, according to him, have become a recurring decimal in Jos. According to Makinde, government should take a decisive action and go beyond the prosecution of inconsequential youths to deal with the real perpetrators of the religious crises in the north once and for all. Rev. Pam, in his reaction, said he could not go to church, yesterday, Christmas day because there was tension in every part of Jos, stating that the attack had succeeded in robbing Christians in the Plateau State capital the joy of Christmas. He blamed the Federal Government for foot-dragging in dealing with the issues involved while innocent citizens are daily being mauled down for no just cause, adding government had never taken the issues seriously. Confirming that there had been rumours of an impending attack ahead of Christmas, Pam said the internal crisis in the PDP as well as the inordinate struggle for power in Plateau State are some of the reasons for the current crisis, noting that in a democracy, people have misunderstandings and such misunderstandings are resolved speedily before they escalate to major catastrophes.

By Abdulwahab Abdulah The embattled former Director of the Nigerian Stock Exchange, (NSE), Prof. Ndi Okereke-Onyiuke and her sacked colleagues have secured an order of the Lagos High court restraining the Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC and three others from further publishing or circulating the outcome of an inquiry on NSE and its management by some auditing firms. The order of the court secured by the claimants, led Prof. Onyuike, joined in separate suits by Mrs Yinka Idowu and Mr Uzoma Henry Onyekuru were gotten from different courts which barred the respondents and their privies from further publishing or circulating the report of the inquiry carried out on NSE under the leadership of Prof. Onyiuke by SEC. Joined as respondents in the suits were The Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC, The Nigerian Stock Exchange, NSE, and the firms hired by SEC, Messrs Aluko & Oyebode and Messrs KPMG Professional Services for the audit. Ruling on the motion Ex-parte brought pursuant to Section 46 of the 1999 Constitution, Order 4 Rule 3 (4) of the Fundamental Right (Enforcement Procedure) Rules, 2009 filed by the Claimants counsel, Chief Robert Clarke, SAN, Justice A. Adebajo granted an interim order restraining the respondents , their agents, privies, nominees, appointees, from further causing to be acted upon in any manner howsoever the report of its purported findings in respect on the inquiry the 3rd and 4th respondents were commissioned by the 1st and 2nd respondents to carry out on the affairs of the 2nd respondent pending the hearing and determination of the substantive application. The court also granted an interim order restraining the respondents, from distributing, publishing or circulating the minutes, proceedings, report and recommendations or any findings arising from the said inquiry undertaken by the 3rd and 4th respondents and commissioned by the 1st and the 2nd respondent pending the determination of the substantive application. The same order was granted by Justice Ayo Phillips on the motion filed by Mrs Yinka Idowu, a former Manager with the NSE. Also, the court ordered that the applicants should serve the respondents with the court processes within 24 hours of the courts order. In their motion on notice, the claimants averred that they were one time senior officials with the NSE, and that they were not invited top make their defence or give them notice of the pendency of inquiries into their tenure in the NSE. They argued that contrary to what ought to be, the respondents never invited them, but delivered their findings, under the pretext that same had been procured through due legal process, to the media and same has since been published and circulated widely within and outside the chores of Nigeria. It was further argued that already, the said report has become the subject matter in the main suit before the court. The matter has been slated for November 22, 2010 for hearing.

Now many a time as brothas we get to say something like "makosa imefanyika" to mean the obvious...that kuna mtu amechezewa kubwa...those who are familiar with these colloquial expressions will understand, the rest maybe this note is not meant for them. Many a time brothaz converse bout sistaz in the neigbourhood, sistaz well known to them by name, conduct, past experiences et cetera and its normally a "who can say the craziest isht" competition where the craziest and funniest comment carries the day. All said and done it acts as a point of information gathering, a technique where basically lay down info for all and sundry to see without of course confessing obvious escapades that are best not known by friends for personal reasons or for the sake of peace love and unity...especially UNITY.The problem here sometimes is that the next man may believe your story which may be true or false but all the same he believes it and may take it upon himself to try out the persona in question. The problem with that would be that as a man, we tend to be territorial although less visibly as compared to our female counterparts but territorial all the same. This translates into a tendency to not want any "interference" with women who you have had an interest in and i say interest because it varies from simple liking to a crush to a 1 night stand to a girlfriend, wife, ex-wife etc. The standard is the same...USIDHUBUTU!!! or my personal favourite...NISIKUPATE!!! It is at this point that we say "makosa imefanyika" if you find a close friend in the next man's sweater.Naturally this would translate into a physical confrontation with fists meeting jaws, timbalands saying "hi" to gonads, bottles "gotta-in" skulls etc etc or to mere sulking and excessive drinking. There is only one unforgivable sin on earth... Thou shall not be found in thy friend's vagina ...and yes ladies its quite as blunt as i have put it. Which brings to question, what are the Rules of Engagement? What can be considered "normal" or "harmless" such as to get away with. Although standards vary from gentleman to beast, i should say a few circumstances that could be generally acceptable.RoE #1: Ayo - Technology With the advent of new technology i.e. mobile phones, emails, facebook, twitter etc its an unwritten rule that any suggestive texts is bound to ruffle feathers. However the level of suggestiveness varies, it could be the "i like your new hairstyle" or a rather brusque "you got a tight ass". Whereas one may escape the 1st the latter is bound to attract some kind of alertness depending on the context on which it was said i.e. if you told a nigga to his face that his chic is fly and she got a tight ass...thas a fucking compliment. However if he overhears you saying that to his girl in a manner likely to suggest that he shouldnt have heard then thas "testing" the waters...Conclusion... CHUMBI!!RoE # 2: Raev Setting Offering to buy your boy's girl a drink is ok whether or not he is there is not a factor. However if anything happens after that drink is offered that tends to lead to a chumbi-ous situation then thas considered an affront to the nigga. A take away for example would be rather fruity, were such a brotha to be found he would be forced to re-enact a scene from Spartacus Blood and Sand...but still am jus sayin. Dancing with a friend's chic suggestively in a club when you are all high is permitted, some niggaz are however skyankyiously territorial and its good to identify them lest you find yourself in a chumbi-ous situation. Conclusion...if your going to dance suggestively, do it while the nigga is there and umm keep yo hands off the breasts please.RoE # 3: Facebook or Twitter Most dudes dont bother to see what they girls are being told in their inboxes, but once in a while makosa hufanyika. If she tells him what you wrote as a friend then you in some deep shit. If he finds out by himself then you in even deeper shit. Conclusion...dont get caught.RoE # 4: Extinguished Interests Men do get over women rather easily as compared to their female counterparts, fact. However, exes are considered dormant until a friend, emphasis on friend, expresses interest...what i like to call "karomaindo". I tell you brethren, there is no greater sin than this...of course after the one i mentioned earlier. Conclusion...it can be allowed only if the nigga is cool with it, otherwise its a scenario waiting to pay dividends.Disclaimer: Having said this, i should add that...Ukipata imekaa mbaya...jus listen to Nonini's "kuta vitu" track and act accordingly.

IBB, recently taunted the much maligned Nigerian youth about his/her inability to grasp the complexities and intricacies of governance. I do believe in order to prove the gap-tooth, self confessed wrong, we, as the youth of Nigeria, need to demonstrate intelligence and keenness of mind in dissecting, analysing and presenting workable options our dear country can explore in the journey to true independence and respect in the comity of nations. I have two major overarching drives in sitting down to put this little thought of mine together: (a) To prove to IBB that contrary to his warped sense of judgement, the Nigerian youth is one heck of a miracle. Denied opportunities in his/her own home turf, by unauthorised, dubious and autocratic rulers like IBB, we have found ways to thrive in the nooks and crannies of the world including Nigeria. (b) To kick-start a revolution in the intellectual sphere of the Nigerian youth. We are actively involved in activism. Thats not enough, we need to propose alternative viewpoints to the existing lies being used to put our nation in bondage by those forces of neo-colonialism, among which IBB is king. I reckon if we all bring our grey matters to bear on postulating real, credible solutions to the Nigerian debacle, we could somehow come to a convergence from our different perch-points and rise up to make Nigeria better. It is my belief that the revolution that will work will start first as an intellectual revolution. When it grows and prospers on the streets, no form of corruption or bribery would stop its all conquering impact. Background. Many scholars and critics have eloquently written about the Whys of the debacle we face as a nation. Few have ever dug really deep to open our eyes to how things could be. As a nation, we have practised 2 distinct forms of government. We started with the Parliamentary system. Some school of thought maybe we werent getting the right deal from that and nudged us in favour of the American presidential system. After over 48 years of experiment, its mighty clear to us that the problem isnt with the systems there have been proven continuous success stories of both systems of government by Britain and America and a few other countries its with us as a people. Its obvious to us then that something is either wrong with us as a people, or the basis for our union is mighty faulty. Its my belief that were no less endowed as humans from others and that the problem lies in the union both the form and the structure. Excuses & Lies We have advanced a lot of silly excuses as to why where still languishing in the comity of backward nations of the earth. The foremost lie we hear is : Rome wasnt built in a day. I quite agree that Rome wasnt built in a day. Fact. What is also more factual is, Dubai took a fraction of the time it took Rome to be built! And with better infrastructure and precision engineering. In todays world, once you develop a blueprint, anyone can copy it and therefore, you do not need to spend as much time as it took for the prototype to be developed. The atomic particle was first identified by Athenian scientists in the ancient world. It took several scientists and an awful lot of resources and 2nd World War urgency to develop the H-bomb after Einstein split the atom. Nowadays, it takes a couple of months for a nation that has the know-how {blueprint} and materials necessary. No right thinking nation asks her scientists to take as much time as it took the pioneers to develop one for them. The second excuse is: Oh, Nigeria is much too diverse to have one voice!. True. Were diverse just as other nations! America was wrested from the Red Indians by a combination of disillusioned and disenfranchised Europeans of diverse background Germans, English, Irish, Scots, Netherlanders, Belgians e.t.c Indonesia has almost the same number of ethnic group as Nigeria, with deep religious fault lines running through, yet, they are a thriving nation. China is the same. Its got all sorts of tribes and races and yet has become the manufacturing capital of the world with a strong voice in International politics. There are many other countries to mention if not all the countries of the world! Our situation is not unique and therefore isnt an excuse for flunking our nation building classes. The third most prevalent lie is: The British are responsible for our debacle! They joined us together by force. Hahahahaha Nigerians! Tell me of a country that hasnt been nipped and tucked and shifted around like chess pieces by ruling powers from time immemorial? The Romans have been known to relocate entire tribes and nations to preserve their power. The Mongols did same. The Babylonians, The Ottomans, Napoleonic France, The British, USSR and other European powers. Belgium was under slavery for so many years and has so many tribes smashed together French, Germans, Flemish + other tribes yet they have thrived and found a way to be relevant. A nation that blames her failure on the past isnt fit for the future. Structure of Nigeria. The founding fathers, in retrospect, understood Nigeria better than the likes of IBB and his ilks. In attaining independence from the British, they recognized that we arent one people. They knew we are aeons away from the one Nigeria mantra that has brought us the civil war and become a rallying cry for dictators like IBB and Obasanjo. As such, they opted for a system that allowed each region to develop at its own pace. At least the Northern region was formed by some political consensus even if later, the Middle Belt felt it needed her own identity. When we opted for the American Presidential style, the spirit was to maintain some form of autonomy for the constituent units. It was that spirit of healthy competition, engendered by the pre-independence political arrangement that helped us develop ahead of the likes of Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and a few other now very prosperous nations of the world. The North set its priority as trade. The West was education and commerce. The East was into trade, education and manufacturing. The Northern government paid wages commensurate to the standard of living in the North at 2 a month to the civil servants. The East paid 3 and the West paid 4. Its the same kind of reward structure obtainable in America. Earning $200,000 in New York might not be as profitable as $140,000 in Wyoming. In UK, its called London Weighting. The West started the University College Ibadan and later OAU, the East had UNN and the North ABU. There was healthy competition. Even politically, the Mid-West saw themselves as neither West nor East and were able to negotiate their existence. Enter the Military goons! The military opportunists made a mess of a minor situation where the North was dangerously meddling in the affairs of the West, something not unexpected in a nascent union. From that time, they became infested with the power syndrome. The detail is well documented, so i move to the consequences. Apart from stymieing the political learning process, they imported a deadly poison into the system that has dogged our existence as a country today. THEY BROUGHT THE IDEA AND PRACTICE OF A FEDERAL STATE DEVOID OF ITS PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES. Because they didnt have the brain and wherewithal to manage the Nigerian national economy, and the emergence of the oil commodity, they centralized the purse and linked all states to the apron strings of the government at the centre whatever shape or size in which it came or appeared. Federalism is not one unless its FISCAL in nature! The success of the regions at independence was absolutely founded on the ability of those regions to retain 60% of their own income and use it to pursue developmental needs relevant to their region. Its the access to income that makes a man! Not the clothes he puts on. Everyone knows that romance without finance is a nuisance. So they killed off the regional economies and made them dependent on handouts from the goon in Ribadu Road and later Aso Rock! As such, its the same power monger, or more succinctly, power Mongrel that determines what is spent in 31 states of the Federation and in about 770 local councils spread across the length and breadth of our dear nation. My friends, that is, in effect is a UNITARY government! At least politically the ruling party is always a winner takes it all and all the national resources is therefore concentrated in their hands. Weve been living a lie. And weve ended with these fallouts; (a) Too much power and resources was concentrated at the centre. Therefore, as a natural consequence, capturing power at the centre is a DO or DIE affair. (b) The power of the constituent units to compete healthily through innovation and invention was crippled. Its far more expedient to sit on your arse as a governor and collect the handout called oil revenue sharing and loot than actively looking for ways to promote the economic empowerment of the people. (c) Since they also took away the rights of the States to make the local councils under them accountable, and aligned it to the federal government, weve made accountability to the Nigerian voter doubly impossible. And yet about a quarter of Nigerias income is frittered away through that route. And the local councils have become a crucial ground not only for looting the country blind, but also for gaining power into Aso rock for any political party. Since the whole structure of government in Nigeria is one huge looting machine, people have surrendered their will to siding with a party that has captured the councils and that pattern is replicated on the other levels. {Reason why PDP is boasting of spending then next 50 years. They know whoever has enough loot in hand to bribe at that level will take hold of power}. (d) Our skills at governing has been reduced to that of passing handout down the line, so we give little thought to research and development and pay more attention to politicking right across all fields of endeavour. Positions therefore exist merely as a ladder from which your knife might get a cut from the national cake. (e) It ensures that the minority tribes in Nigeria remain that way. Neatly tucked away from the centre of things, unless you get feisty and acquire some Al-Qaida training and begin some Mujahedeen war against the government like the Niger Deltans are doing. And God save you if youre not protected by a mix of heavy war equipment, African voodoo and labyrinth creeks to find refuge in. Ask those guys from Benue and Borno. (f) Lets face it, when theres too much money at the disposal of the man at the centre, itd take a miracle to keep his hand from it. Even if all we give the man at the centre to run Naija is just 40% of derivation from each constituent unit, its still a lot of money! Too much. So what do i think we need to do? My belief. I do believe that Nigeria can work. I also believe that our togetherness has already made us the biggest market in Africa; we have more potential for growth and prosperity. But that unity HAS to be negotiated. It must come from the heart based on a set of agreements and rules enforceable by any party in a fair and honest way. Its a shame that adults have refused to talk to themselves 50 years after their oppressor left. Yet they want to drag each other along. Thats exactly what our refusal to come to a conference table means. It means our friendship is based on coercion and deceit. If i have issues with my wife, we both sit down as adults and listen to one another, then we iron out our differences and agree some basic ground rules to help us navigate the future. It doesnt mean we wont have issues in the future, but if we refuse to hold a clear the air meeting and follow it up with heartfelt tte--tte, how on earth can we hope that there would be peace in the home? I do believe that a National Conference or whatever name you want to call it, when held, will actually bring us together rather than alienate us. We will be stronger because we will have ironed out differences and given each other assurances and know where to proceed from and where were headed. Case for Fiscal Federalism. To my mind, a true fiscal federalism is still the best way to go. One, each region will have the chance to determine its own fate within a strong structure. Two, each region will truly complement each other in the true sense of it as wed be forced to engaged in an economic give and take. Imagine if Bayelsa keeps 60% of its resources, she will need to hire the best doctors from all over Nigeria, it will need the best teachers who might not be Bayelsans and also might have the best maritime industry that would employ professionals and artisans from all over Nigeria. In reverse, the less endowed states can start to look at people as its natural resources and establish the best training institutes to provide the best people to the super-endowed states. How to start. Based on my preference for a fiscal federalism, we do not necessarily have to start the derivation at 60%. We will of course need to be strategically progressive in achieving that aim. If we set a 10 year moratorium for all the 31 constituent units to revert to keeping 60% of all income generated, wed give each state the opportunity to prepare for a different life. In these 10 years each state will have to find where it can apply the law of comparative advantage. I refuse to accept that there are states not endowed in Nigeria! I refused it vehemently. One, if you have humans, you have wealth! Geological wealth {wealth from minerals hidden in the ground} have performed well below the potential of Anthropoid wealth { wealth from inventions and services}. The combined returns Google, Apple, Microsoft and Logitech is far more abundant than what oil has given Nigeria in all of its national life. Two, the mineral mapping done by America through the satellite technology, places Nigeria as the second most wealthy after Democratic Republic of Congo {former Zaire} in Africa. I completed my NYSC program in Gombe State in 1998-1999. I was astonished to find out that the state has Uranium in commercial quantities! Nothing has been done about it because theyre content getting easy money from the centre! Also, Gombe state happens to have the highest number of cattle per head in the whole of Nigeria. I didnt see any corned beef manufacturing company there! In Biu, you have a plateau that produces the best tomatoes in the world the Italians would be proud of. Theres no tin-tomato making concern there. You could replicate that in every state of the nation. Palm Oil has been called the new crude. Its about the healthiest emulsifier allowed in European food manufacturing. It goes into everything from your soap to your wafers, chocolates, e.t.c What stops a state like Borno from acquiring land in Cross River in conjunction with a company with technical expertise from anywhere to develop such products using local labour while the profits go to the people of their own state? In negotiating our unity, experts could be brought in to analyse of ascertain the amount of natural resources, human resources, climatic resources and the potential of each state. Any state found to be intrinsically weak will be supported by special funds from the money that goes to the centre by enforceable agreement for up to a period of time necessary for such state to stand on its own feet. Benefits of freeing up the country by agreement The first benefit is an intrinsically humanistic one. We will be recognizing the ability of each constituent unit to devise a survival mechanism that leads to prosperity. After all, before Lugard showed up all the Nigerian regions have produced enduring dynasties and systems of survival! We will be encouraging recognition for the right to triumph through the dint of hard work and enterprise. The best will be able to prop up the weak just like the Bill Gates of this world founded companies that made other Americans and nationals millionaires! We are covering up the destinies of so many talented Nigerians up with the current pursuit of chop-i-chop ideals. We will free Nigeria from the shackles of decadent and despotic leadership. If you realize that the centre involves too much work required of true patriots, and less opportunity for self aggrandizement, less charlatans will sign up for Nigeria2011 or whatever year. Only people with will and vision will put themselves forward. We will be able to conquer our fear to do the right thing! Those whove hidden behind religious and ethnic banners to loot us blind will be exposed. How? Because each component unit will now be the focus of real political attention, itd be easy for those component units to enforce their own laws as there will be openness as we know ourselves very well and theres no covering from the Abuja godfather as weve witnessed in Anambra and Oyo. For instance in Ogun state, Id be able to challenge a sitting governor better because he knows that when runs foul of the law, we know where to get him! You cannot use assassins freely because the monopoly of the law will not be absolute. The stranglehold of the neo-colonial forces in Nigeria would be broken. As the constituent units assert their powers and wield it, corruption will be reduced and prosperity freed up. As of now, a sitting governor cannot initiate a rail development scheme without first getting permission from the president through moribund and useless National Railway Commission. A situation that arrogates extensive power to a mere civil servant to rubbish the dreams of the people of a particular state and gives controlling powers to the president in undermining a governor. Same thing as above is obtainable with the security apparatus. The constitution gives the power to protect lives and property, and promise of prosperity to the governor of a state. Yet that governor has to rely on the assurance of the Inspector General of Police whos politically appointed by the President to fulfil a constitutional demand. How does that work? The result is what transpired in Jos when the governor could only run to the military authorities who did nothing. Thousands of people were murdered and its not swept under the carpet. Business has continued as usual. We need to follow the spirit of the letter that we agree to! We need to have state police! America has it and the heavens havent fallen. The British have it. How can we refuse to do the needful on the basis of our fears? Wed be able to make it impossible for business oligarchs to buy Nigeria off. Glo is the second national carrier. It controls the call data and infrastructure plus internet access for about 50% of the whole populace. That is a big security risk. In case we do get into war and its infiltrated, were doomed. Its one of the reasons weve not exposed the killers in our midst. They give orders over the phone, they access the internet.........the vital monitoring tool isnt in the hands of govt. Ever wondered why the BT line runs through every home and is linked to the national security centre in Britain? Wed be ale to free up civil servants who are concerned with making their councils economically viable. So theyd offer business friendly services, encourage businesses to set up with them and not turn to touts running after Okadas and street traders for registration! They even employ Area Boys nowadays to collect revenue! What Next? I have started this debate so that all the more brainy, qualified and brilliant minds than i am, some of whom i have met on Facebook Kayode Ogundamisi {whom i have discussed the need for the solution focussed activism}, Babatunde Rosanwo, Feyi Fawehinmi, Seyi Osiyemi, Cee Won, Seun Kolade, Phil Smart, Ken Davidson, DJ Abass, Ayo Sonaiya, Wale Adedayo, Franco Francis, Gbola Bowale X, and all others i cant remember now, who constitute the vital link between the Nigerian teenagers and all less than 45, the true future of Nigeria. I expect rejoinders and new line of thoughts. We need to start providing our solutions no matter how crude. Once we get talking to each other, wed add more wisdom. We can also put pressure on the elderly democrats and thinkers like Prof. Sola Adeyeye and the likes to write and support us with experience. I am offering as many as are interested in this project to let us like AWOLOWO provide some intellectual context thats so much lacking in our dear country and make it available via a website wed co-build. I am sure we will come to a convergence and spread the news as much as possible for others to imbibe so we can flag off the true revolution the one that comes from understanding imbibed in the heart and displayed on the streets if necessary to get Nigeria out of the woods. Itd be a shame for all these despots to challenge us and not give them good answers. The race for Aso Rock and the future of Nigerians have begun. None of the candidates yet have any thematic thrust or real manifesto, written that specifies how we can reach the promise land. Most will sell the usual crap road, water, light, hospital.

At this year's SXSW the hot new technology tool was location-based social network tools such as Gowalla and FourSquare.  A location-based social network is a social networking platform that is built around the idea of "where you are" and you use it on your mobile phone.

Your status updates are your physical location with a brief shout out or tip.   You check-in and your friends know where you are.  You can see who else is at that location and you can see where your friends are.  And my friends can now know (if I choose to share) the mundane location-based facts of my life, like where and when I buy coffee in the morning and how often I go to the grocery store or the gym.  And, when you add new places to the Foursquare database, it can get interesting.

I wrote briefly about FourSquare last November when it was used for a fundraiser in NYC.  There are certainly some wonderful possibilities - like putting out volunteer requests and for organizations where they want their audience or stakeholders to explore the physical space.  For example, a museum could create a fun treasure hunt by having people check at specific galleries or works of art.  Harvard University did an experiment with having students use it to explore the campus.   Or you could have your supporters add nonprofit locations and tips to Foursquare.

Allyson Kapin has an excellent post "Foursquare: Novelty or Buzz Worthy?" where she interviews nonprofit social media early adopters asking the question "Should nonprofits take a more serious look at FourSquare and explore ways to leverage it?"   The answer: explore it and see if it is a good fit.   Start looking at where people check in and how it overlaps with your strategic goals.

I'm only just beginning to see some of the value as a personal networking tool.

I've been dutifully "checking in" and have earned 10 mayorships (in FourSquare you are made the mayor of a location if you check more frequently than others), many badges, and reached a super user level.    And while it is a cool new tool, there are important limitations to consider.  Location-based social networks have just reached critical mass in the mainstream, although with partnerships with mainstream media it may just reach it this year.

It wasn't until I was at SXSW where there was a critical mass of people I knew who were using the platform that FourSquare revealed some value:   If your flight is delayed and your bored, and don't want to kill time alone, you could find your friends.  This is exactly what happened.

When I left SXSW, I used Foursquare to check into the Austin Airport. Three minutes later I got a tweet from a colleague, Robert Fabricant, who I hadn't seen since we were on the faculty at PopTech and didn't realize was attending SXSW.  Then I got a dm from Paull Young who I didn't get a chance to talk to during the conference.

Also delayed was another colleague, JD Lasica. So, instead of reading trashy magazines, I got a chance to have a great conversation with some colleagues.

It demonstrates that you need to have a critical mass of friends using the platform in close proximity.  SXSW and perhaps the NTC would be the only places where that would happen. 

Getting on the plane back to the Bay Area, I recognized at least 10 other people on the plane that I knew. And, ended up sitting next to Matt Stewart, Head of Marketing, Alliance for Climate Education. I was a little embarrassed because I was drinking bottled water. Matt later sent me the cool new water bottle. In another curious social networking twist of fate, a colleague introduced me to Matt, who is his spare time is wrote a novel on Twitter. (I tweeted about this several months ago).

Matt called the planes in and out of Austin to SXSW the "nerd birds" because so many people fly in to SXSW that the planes are filled with geeks.

Have you found personal value in using Foursquare?  What was it?  What value could it provide your nonprofit organization?
