On Mentorship…

From 10:30am yesterday — until about 4pm — twenty young people had the opportunity of experiencing the first in the series of Lagos Digital Village Mentorship Roundtables. Supported by Heinrich Boll Foundation, the selected applicants had the chance of listening to the diverse experiences of those who’ve been there and done that within the ICT industry.

One of the mentors a CEO of an IT firm came in from the UK.He talk about how the particpants could provide IT solutions and create Entrepreneurship Opportunities and services, one is an IT executive based in Nigeria and the third from Action Aid Nigeria arrived from Kenya that same morning and facillitated a personal profile analysis of each of the particpants(it was almost like a SWOT analysis but more on personality,morals,expectations and individual relationship with people at work,home and society at large).

Now, talk about willingness to reproduce their success stories in others! As speak from a participant view of the Mentorship roundtable that the process will move online and bring thousands of Nigerians face to face on the same issue of mentorship within the ICT sector.

The online platform will soon be announced, Watch Out…

The journey begans on a special day "Workers’ Day" Monday, May 1, 2006.sessions 9am, 12 noon or 3pm with a different initiative this year. Venue was Etal Hotel and Halls, Oregun, Lagos state nigeria. And the question we asked particpants was: are you ready for change? the response of close to 1200 particpants to that question was YES!

They got clear directions on Job Acquisition, eBusiness Opportunities with minimal capital, Social Entrepreneurship Opportunities,(social enterprise for NGo's) etc from the best team of facilitators & volunteers who made it a reality(many Thanks):

comments from aprticpants:

“I was highly inspired when I saw the antecedents of the facilitators (‘Gbenga and Deolu). I said if they can, I can. Well done! ”

“Oppotunity is what makes a man to stand among others. So I want to use every opportunity I get. I choose to believe that my ability to be in this meeting will mark a turning point in my career and also incite in me a new drive for personal development”

“I’m really thrilled by this opportunity you are offering. I hope the seminar will answer the question: is it too late for someone over 30 years have a career turn-around?”

“I believe in this noble idea, having attended the PIN Youth Programme in Lagos and also having been interviewed by Adeolu both in P&G and in Virgin Nigeria, I believe in what they can do and I fully subscribe to this seminar. I am definitely in.”

All in all the particpants had a the best works day celebration that inspired and change them 180o towards sustainable development using ICT4D e.g Google adsense and Social enterprise skills.

The Cybercrime Roundtable hosted by Lagos Digital Village and supported by Heinrich Boll Foundation on Wednesday, April 19, 2006 at Heinrich Boll Foundation Ikoyi Lagos.

it was attended by 20 youth leaders from the nigerian ICT sector & members of the nigerian WSIS youth Caucus(Gbenga sesan,Titi Akinsanmi,tope shoremi,kola osinowo,pascal smith,ayo oladejo etc)
The roundtable was an interactive session, with the theme, "Cybercrime Bill and Nigerian Citizens", we ask particpants to study the two documents which are the two bills that seek to address cybercrime that is before the national assembly in Nigeria. There are plans for amendments so our duty is simply to look at both bills in the light of how it can solve the beastly problem of cybercrime and its possible impacts of the citizens, noting that some clauses may raise questions about the privacy of individuals, for example. Please note that while the "Computer Security and Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Bill 2005" is a wholly cybercrime bill, "The Information Technology Bill 2004" only touches on cybercrime in Part IV.

Presentation 1: Insight into the Bills / Policy Process - Discussion on Presentation by Mr Adesina

who also showed and explained how The Information Technology Bill and the Computer Security and Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Bill were been used and enforced in other countries.
Presentation 2: Insight into the Bills / Policy Process by Mr Basil Udotai further shared light into the the two Bills becacause he was on the drafting team.we shared experiences on why the bills had to be passed because nigerian law enforcement agencies need orientation on Computer Security & cybercrimes when a computer student is been detain by the police for carry CCNA book found in his bag and he had to call a friend to come to his aid.

Defination of computer in THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY BILL 2004(Computer” means a person, thing or entity that computes; or a computational machinery having an internal storage where it stores data and or programs, and which without human intervention stores and retrieves data and programs, and executes the programs, modifying same as the nature of the data may require; or a network or network of networks of such computational machineries.)Question for all(is a computer a person or a thing?)

After the two presentations Rapporteur presented recommendations and highlights of roundtable discussions.we decided to continue discussions online.
