Hi i’m Chudi, i’m a interior design graduate, i’ve a passion for all things design and technology, my family are from nigeria and its always a joy to visit and see the country but after a visit in 2009 i saw the real hardships of people who are surviving on less than a dollar a day, one of my goals is to be involved in the devlopment and regeneration of a country such as Nigeria, the advancements in technology whether its media or electronic have shaped the way we live our lives and will continue to offer new solutions in how we embrace future challenges, connectivity is vital to the mobility of a country to progress and generate growth.
In Nigeria the mobile phone has become the most sought after communication device and is for most people the only route to connect to the web, although the number of mobile phones and user is high, there is still a huge gap between those who own smartphones capable of web access and low end mobile phones, there is also a noticeable gap with PC/laptop ownership, in reality a small majority are only able to access the web.
My business concept is to create devices that will enable people to connect to the internet (local/international) from their homes, the devices will be multimedia to offer new communication and entertainment content whilst providing a device which can be affordable and within the means of all nigerians.
