ICT Column: Hurray it’s a happy 2016 already!!

By Ubong Nsekpong

Welcome back! If you’re following  this column in The Nigerian Pulse, I’m really sorry, I never knew the editors would down their weapons, sorry, pens on the 21st of December last year, a long holiday that is seeing us here again today, and so I never had the time to wish you a merry Christmas in this column. To those in The Ink Newspaper, I remember we took a review of 2015 together, though I skipped some events that would have been a major for you we parted on good notes as I wished you the best of the season and I am optimistic you sure did enjoy the season. Nevertheless, we can’t rewind to 2015, we’re marching forward, enough blessings already this year, so why focus on the past than delivering the message of freedom (at least earthly), technology can offer Akwa Ibom people.  

There’s more to information technology

I turned sluggishly on my mattress and felt a slight ache on my ribs. The long nights I witness recently seems to add more pains to the existing ones.  With the level of patronage IT practitioners garner in the state one is forced to shut down his system completely as against hibernation which is common in the practice. I reached out for my psalter to say the morning prayers but the constant text and social media alert on my phone was a great cause of distraction. I therefore decided to turn off the alerts before approaching the throne of my creator for thanksgiving which was more of a daily ritual.
