Kayode Sowole develops app to read the bible in Pidgin, Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba


A 400 level Computer Science student of University of Lagos, Kayode Sowole who won the best student app for developing application that allows people to read the bible in Pidgin, Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba and all English translations offline, tells the story of how the app come to be.

My name is Kayode Sowole. I am from Sodeke town in Abeokuta, Ogun State. I am currently a 400-level Computer Science student of University of Lagos.
I am a highly motivated individual who always enjoys a good challenge. My interest in computing since my childhood has been a major factor in helping me to develop my programming skills that have led to my high level of success in mobile app development. I love developing web and mobile applications. My leisure activities include writing, travelling and listening to music.

When did you realise you wanted to become an App developer?
I made the decision to become a mobile application developer in my first year in University of Lagos in 2010 after an online video training on app development on YouTube.

So what steps did you take?
I started by downloading and installing the Java IDE, which the YouTube training had recommended. I also got the Netbeans IDE on my laptop. Then, I searched Google for related e-books and downloaded them on my laptop for references. From that moment, I started building Java and Android apps. I found my kicks in getting online to research and learning new stuff about app development.

What was the first app you developed?
The first app I developed is called the Picpuzzle, a picture puzzle game that requires the player to rearrange the items in a picture in the proper order. I had fun putting that one together.

Where did you get inspiration for the app you created?
The Holy Spirit was the author of my inspiration. The thinking behind the app was that when God communicates with you in your native language, it seems as if God is from your town for Him to have been able to talk to you.

It allows for a closer and deeper transaction with the Almighty that is very native and heartfelt. When you read the Yoruba Bible, it seems as if God is a Yoruba man, which is true because we are all copies of God’s image. Language is very powerful.
If you want a people to lose their sense of identity, all you need to do is to take their language away from them. As such, providing the word of God to people in a language that they can understand is so powerful and has a very good feeling.

The Wazobia Bible app, affords you the opportunity to read God’s word in Pidgin, Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba and all English translations offline. It’s all about creating value and opportunities for people to access God’s word.

What were the high points of your preparation?
The incorporation of the Bible into Bible programming languages such as THML (Theological Mark-up Language) and OSIS (Open Scripture Information Standard) was the most significant part of my preparation.

The Theological Markup Language is a new markup language that is being used to mark up texts for the Christian Classics Ethereal Library and other projects.

This XML application can be thought of as HTML with additions for electronic books and rich digital libraries, with special support for theological needs such as scripture references and Strongs numberings.

Also the Open Scripture Information Standard (OSIS) is an XML application (or schema), that defines tags for marking up Bibles, theological commentaries, and other related literature. These are useful languages I had to code with to develop the app.

Did you know that you were going to win?
I was shocked when I received the news of my win. Someone had called me to tell me I won because I didn’t attend the presentation.

How do you feel about winning?
This is so comforting and assuring. I feel so exhilarated. I’m so happy my hard work on the app has really paid off. This is a reward for the value I have tried to create by opening up the word of God to reach more people in a language they can understand and appreciate.

How do you plan to maximise the platform your victory has brought?
I intend to use social networking platforms like Facebook and Twitter so as to reach out to a lot of people.

Could you take us through the start-up process and its growth trajectory?
I started the project by compiling the Holy Bible in Pidgin, Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba and all English translations in plain text format.

Next, I built the GUI (Graphical User Interface) in Eclipse which made the project about fifty percent ready. After that, I developed the connection between the Bible files and the core of the app. At this stage, the project was seventy five percent completed.

To complete the development of the app, I introduced the reading of other documents such as Bible in one year, Every day in the word and other Christian books. I also made a collection of 384 bible verses which will be highlighted when reading the Bible. At the end of this stage, Wazobia Bible app was hundred per cent ready for use.

How have mobile users embraced the app and what kind of numbers have you churned out?
Wazobia Bible app has been downloaded beyond my expectation. The app has had over 2,800 downloads on MTN App Store.

Have you been able to monetize the application?
No. It’s a free app for now.

How do you intend to deal with the competition within the mobile industry?
I intend to introduce other features like reading the Bible out in audio and in the selected language such as Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba and Pidgin.

How would you assess current level of local mobile applications development?
I think local mobile applications development is increasing rapidly and a few years from now, the local mobile applications development community would have doubled.

MTN has launched the MTN NextApps store for various platforms, how will this impact the development of mobile applications and related content for mobile uses?
MTN NextApps store has definitely expanded the reach of apps to various platforms which will definitely improve mobile applications development speedily because it will encourage developers to port their apps to several platforms.

Would you say Nigeria has the local capacity to effectively support the growth and development of mobile content and applications?

Not at the moment. We have a lot of talented students in Nigeria but most cannot even afford a laptop. Even those who have laptops have to use N100 from their pocket money to get 10MB of data to browse. Only a few can afford to fuel their generators because there’s no light. As students, we need laptops, data and electricity to effectively support the growth and development of mobile content and applications.

What advice would you have for the government or corporate bodies in a bid to strengthen the local mobile application industry?
The government needs to make electricity stable to strengthen the local mobile application industry. Corporate bodies need to divert the millions they give to music stars for adverts to buy laptops for secondary school students who just finished their WAEC and are awaiting results.

Twitter Now Lets You Tag People in Photos – You Can Add 4 Photos to Each Tweet



Twitter is getting a little more photo-happy, adding the ability to tag up to 10 Twitter users in an image.

If you’re not keen on the idea of being tagged in OPTs (other people’s tweets – feel free to use it in casual conversation), you’re able to toggle your tagability under your account settings. Tagging someone in an image doesn’t count against your 140-character message limit, either.

And finally, you can now add multiple images to a tweet – up to four at a time. The feature is only available on the iPhone right now, but it’ll roll out to the Android app and to Twitter.com in the not too distant future. Twitter points out that you’ll be able to view multiple-image tweets on any platform, though.

Bright who hails from Akabo in Ikeduru Local Government Area of the state was arrested after a shoot–out with the Police by some hoodlums suspected to be armed robbers operating inside a hotel

Imo State Police Command yesterday arrested a 400 level student of Federal University of Technology (FUTO), Unamaka Bright for alleged armed robbery. Bright who hails from Akabo in Ikeduru Local Government Area of the state was arrested after a shoot–out with the Police by some hoodlums suspected to be armed robbers operating inside a hotel located along FUTO Ihiagwa Road.

The Imo State Commissioner of Police, Abdulmajid Ali who disclosed this to newsmen in Owerri while parading the suspects along with others arrested for various crimes, said that upon arrest, one locally made Signal barrel pistol and live cartridges were recovered from the said Bright.

According to Abdulmajid “acting on a tip off on the kidnap of one Cyril Echesi who was abducted on the Express Road along Uli-Ihiala LGA, Anambra State by gunmen numbering about four and a lady operating in a black Toyota Camry car, our men through its interstate dragnet intercepted the hoodlums between the boundary of Ohaji, Imo State and River state.” In the process, the police boss said Cyprian Uduak Sylvester aged 37 from Akwa Ibom State, Endurance Happ 21, Chima Obi Omelo and Chijioke Odunze aged 24 were arrested.

Abdulmajid added that his men on March 2 through its community dragnets arrested one of the members of a threeman gang who specialised in baby stealing for ritual and money making purposes. According to him, the three men had jumped the fence of one Susnne Udeze of Umuduruji Umuchoke Amaigbo in the Nwagele LGA into her kitchen and forcefully carried away her one year and eight months grand son and escaped into the bush.

YOU HAVE DREAMT.....its time to wake up and WORK



Yes there is time to sleep. Also there is time to wake. These days alot of us have over slept and we kept pilling up dreams waiting for realisation of these dreams in our sleep. Until you wake up, dust your self and work on your dreams, YOU GOING NO WHERE. The image above shows us in a mirror. Binded by colour but we differ in our dreams and passion. We are all uniques in our own ways. IF YOU DONT BUILD YOUR DREAMS, SOMEONE ELSE WILL PAY YOU OR EMPLOY YOU TO HELP BUILD THIERS.....

I have seen less educated people employing first class students to build their dreams for them. A first class slave you may call it.

RETHINK!!!!

5 Dating TIps for YOU!!!!

From smarterlife styles

After interviewing gurus that counsel both men and women on dating, we noticed something that was quite curious. Some of their dating advice was actually gender-neutral and could be applied to both sexes. As we see it, good advice is good advice.

Here are the top five dating tips for both men and women:

1. Be Open Minded : The number one rule we have heard from both sides of the fence is to go into every date with an open mind. Your ideal partner, based on your personal checklist, may be completely
different from the person that you could be truly compatible with. Everyone has this warped sense of who their perfect partner should be, but when interviewing
countless older couples who have been married for more than 50 years – their life partners were completely different from the person they initially imagined.

2. Don’t Research Before a First Date : In these days of Google and Facebook, it’s easy to be tempted to do a little research before you even go out on a first date. Don’t do it! You’ll get a false impression of the person, and can make strong judgments without even knowing him/her yet.

3. Don’t Bring Baggage : Avoid talking about old relationships, negative experiences, etc. Have those conversations only after several dates. There is little to gain by dwelling on the past.

4. Be Honest About Yourself : You can avoid specific topics early on, but don’t lie about things. Starting a relationship based on lies is never a good idea.

5. Leave on a High Note : Keep a first date short, and it’s always better to leave on a high note. Meeting for coffee or a meal is great, but don’t make long drawn out plans for another date – excuse yourself and say goodbye. Better to leave the person wanting more.

Man with the biggest Nose....WHAT A SNEEZE. lol

People compete in many things. The biggest nose competition is certainly one of the most interesting competitions is the world. This competition is organized in Lafgenbruck, Germany. It has a long
tradition, because the championship is more than fifty years old! People from all parts of the world come to this town to compete!
The competition has an interesting history. A group of town officials gathered in a local pub. They started talking and making fun of their big noses. One of them said that it would be a good idea to
make a big nose club, and the other one replied that they could even have a king of big noses. It was just a joke, but after some time, they started thinking about this idea and established the Association of big noses.

LASU Dean of student urges students to embrace PEACE!!

Prof. Kabir Akinyemi, the Dean of Students Affairs , Lagos
State University (LASU) yesterday urged students of the
institution to shun violence and embrace peace.
Akinyemi told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in an
interview Lagos that dialogue remained the best way of
solving problems.
He said it was unfortunate that some outsiders took
advantage of the Jan. 23 students’ protest in the university
to carry out the level of destruction done to property in the
institution.
Akinyemi said that the level of damage was beyond what
LASU students could carry out and urged them to always
adopt dialogue in resolving issues to avoid a recurrence of
such infiltration.
The dean noted said that improved security would also help
in preventing a repeat of such an incident.
Akinyemi also warned the operators of the university shuttle
buses to limit their operations to the university and its
environs.
He said it was an offence for shuttle buses with the
university’s name to ply major roads of the city.
“The management has written to appropriate authorities
such as the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority,
among others, to arrest and sanction offenders, “ he said.
On the hike in fees, Akinyemi urged the students to continue
to dialogue with the state government for a downward
review as it was beyond the university management.
He also called on parents and other stakeholders to
collaborate with the school management in molding the
character of the students, to make them good ambassadors.
The dean warned that the university would not tolerate
indiscipline among the students and any of them found
wanting would be sanctioned.
Akinyemi assured the final year students that the
management would do everything possible to mobilize them
for the Batch B set of the National Youth Service Corps
scheme in July.
