back

home in Nigeria it was the same story as i had quit my banking armed robber salary job and moved to England. .
to cut a long story short    CLICK HERE NOW !

Let’s just say some people were skeptical of the notion that volunteers from all across 9ja could come

together to create a pool of human knowledge – all for the simple purpose of sharing.

No strings attached.

Well as time went by Over the last few months we decided to include Ads to sustain our costs

2 years after its founding, 600,000 people use 9jabook and its sister sites every month - all this on a

zero funded advertising/marketing budget

It is the 208th most popular website in Nigeria according to the Alexa Ranking Site - but 9jabook isn’t a

commercial website. It is a community creation, written by volunteers making one entry at a time. You

are part of our community. And I’m writing today to ask you to protect and sustain 9jabook.

Together, we can keep it free of charge and maybe even free of advertising. We can keep it open – you

can use the information in 9jabook any way you want. We can keep it growing – spreading knowledge

everywhere, and inviting participation from everyone especially Nigerians our Aim is simple." to Rebrain

Nigeria"

Each year at this time, we reach out to ask you and others all across the 9jabook community to help

sustain our joint enterprise with a modest donation of just your time and effort.
to turn this site into not just a place you spend your time but a place you get "paid" for your time

If you value 9jabook as a source of information – and a source of inspiration – I hope you’ll choose to

act right now.

All the best,

Abi John Balogun aka Weboga

Founder, 9jabook


ps. On the 25th of December 2012 I will make another special announcement which incidentally is my Birthday .I

started this Site for one reason and one reason only, to create money for me and my "friends" and By

the grace of God i will keep that promise .

So stay tuned

We will deliver

Is Microsoft Dying: CNN Money says that the end may be near for Microsoft's attempts to appeal to the masses

Posted by technology on October 27, 2010 at 11:30pm
Amid record profits Microsoft has serious cause for concern. It is coming off the high of the fastest-selling operating system in its history -- Windows 7. That OS sent its profits soaring and convinced some that Microsoft was no longer on the retreat.

17229_steve-ballmer-laughs.jpg
But part of Windows 7's success was due to how poorly received Vista was. With Windows 8 landing reportedly in 2012, the company may have significant difficulties in convincing the average consumer to upgrade to its latest and great OS.

Other than the Windows brand, Xbox and Microsoft Office are the company's other two major successes in the consumer sector. But the Xbox trails Nintendo's “family friendly” Wii and the Office team is getting seriously nervous about growing consumer interest in OpenOffice.Photos Steve Balmer and Bill Gates ..

On the other hand, Bing has failed to gain even 10 percent of the search market in most metrics, despite a massive ad push and a deal with Yahoo. Zune remains a tiny player in the MP3 market, having failed to become a true competitor in terms of sales to Apple's iPod line. And Microsoft's smartphone empire, once a major player, is in rebuilding mode after the disastrous Kin and ill-received Windows Mobile 6.5. It is placing its hopes on Windows Phone 7, but that phone enters a packed market.

Internet Explorer, Microsoft's browser, has long led the market, but has seen a steady decline in recent years, which may allow Firefox and Chrome to eventually reach its formerly insurmountable market share peak. Microsoft's key hope here is a new product, Internet Explorer 9.

So while it seems that CNN Money's recent headline, "Microsoft is a dying consumer brand", is a bit sensational, it is a claim that is grounded in some reality.

One of the key points in the article is that aside from the struggles of many of Microsoft's consumer "expansion" business units, it is also bleeding executive talent, like many other struggling firms (HP, Yahoo, etc.). States the report, "Microsoft's executive suite is in turmoil. CFO Chris Liddel, entertainment unit head Robbie Bach, device design leader J Allard and business division chief Stephen Elop have left within the past year. Ray Ozzie joined the exit parade last week."

The report praises Microsoft's recent efforts, but concludes in cautionary fashion, "Microsoft just has to hope [they're] not too late."

Much like the Romans or Greeks, Microsoft has built a mighty empire, a key part of which are expansions into new arenas -- in Microsoft's case phones, video game consoles, and internet services.

But much like the Roman empire fell, Microsoft appears dangerously close to losing its expansions to hungrier parties. But much like Rome, it will likely hold on to its central holdings (Windows, Internet Explorer, Xbox, and Microsoft Office) for some time, even if its other efforts fall into commercial purgatory.

The talent gap is absolutely a concern for Microsoft. And equally concerning is the fact that the company is being led by Steve Ballmer. Mr. Ballmer, while a brilliant tactician in some regards and a man with obviously enormous love for the company, has failed to execute a strategy to turn around the company's struggling units -- or one that works at least.

To succeed, Microsoft may need to move on without Mr. Ballmer. But who to pick to lead the world's largest software company, perhaps the most powerful technology company in the world? The leading candidates have already left the company. That means that, essentially, there's no easy answer to Microsoft's leadership issues and that the ongoing risk to the company is tremendous.

Is Microsoft's consumer brand "dying"? Not yet, in our minds. But it lacks the hunger that it once did. And it most certainly sorely misses the leadership of its founder and chief visionary -- Bill Gates..

Uzoma Okere: Navy lose appeal in assault case

Posted by 9jabook.com webmadam on June 23, 2010 at 7:30pm
https://static.ning.com/socialnetworkmain/widgets/index/logo.gif); background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-position: 100% 0%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; ">
An Ikeja High Court yesterday struck out the application for stay of execution of judgment pending appeal brought by Rear Admiral Harry Arogundade, and the Nigerian Navy against Court’s judgment ordering them to pay the sum of N100 million to Miss Uzoma Okere and Mr. Abdulahi Abdulazeez.

At the resumed hearing of the case before Justice Opeyemi Oke, counsel to Uzoma Okere, the judgment creditor, Jonathan Ogunsanya from the Office of the Public Defender (OPD) prayed the court to strike out the application for lack of diligent prosecution.

“My lord, I want to point out that we are yet to be served with the motion processes for the stay of execution till now despite court orders. As a result, I apply that the application be struck out for want of diligent prosecution.”

The presiding judge, Oke noted that she had ordered that all processes be served at the last hearing and agreed with the counsel by striking out the application..

“It is apparent that the judgment creditors who filed a notice of stay of execution of judgment are not ready for the case to go on. The fourth and the fifth judgment debtor filed a notice of stay of execution of judgment and this was made known to all counsel present in court that day. Since they have refused to serve the necessary processes to all involved, it is clear they are not serious with their application. The case is hereby struck out.”

Justice Oke had earlier struck out Arogundade’s application to stay the judgment by ordering him and the Navy to pay the N100 million awarded to Miss Uzoma Okere and Mr. Abdulahi Abdulazeez into an interest-yielding account until the judgment-debtors’ appeal at the Court of Appeal is determined.

Though she ordered that the publication of “unreserved apology” to the victims in The Guardian, The Nation, and THISDAY newspapers, and on the NTA, AIT, Raypower and Cool FM stations be suspended until the appeal is determines in order to save the judgment debtors unnecessary expenses in case their appeal succeeds.

While ruling on the Navy and Arogundade’s application seeking a stay of execution of the judgment she delivered on January 27, Justice Oke said a successful litigant should not be deprived of the fruits of his judgment except there are exceptional circumstances, which must be special and strong.

“Granting a stay of execution is at the discretion of the court. Such discretion must be exercised and judiciously and judicially. The judgment creditor/applicants have not adduced any special or exceptional circumstances to warrant the grant of this application,” Justice Oke held.

She had in her judgment of January 27, ordered Rear Arogundade, the Navy and four ratings to pay Miss Okere and Mr. Abdulazeez N100 million for assaulting the two. She also described the conducts of the men to Miss Okere and Abdulazeez as “barbaric” and unlawful violation of their fundamental human rights.

It will be recalled that four naval ratings – C.I. Jeremiah, S.A. Bullem, S.A. Kaniga and Francis Okolaogu – assaulted Miss Okere and Abdulazeez on November 5, 2008, for delaying them in traffic on Muri Okunola Street, Victoria Island, Lagos while on the convoy of the Rear Admiral Harry Arogundade.
