"The westerners want things don't for them, but the southerners get things done by themselves" My Quote||Anonymous

I am shocked that a project like the Ibadan Wireless Project(http://villagetelco.org/2013/02/ibadan-wireless-user-group/) isn't gained so much traction despite being the first of its kind in West Africa. The brains behind it should be commended. Such projects are thriving in Southern Africa with wireless groups like the Cape Town WUG, the Gauteng WUG, NamWug, Soweto WUG e.t.c. My only inference is that such projects have gained traction in Southern Africa because of the demography of people there.

It is kakaki - http://kakaki.news.

But the name may be attributed to the AIT kakaki, the African voice.

Well, I don't know. But It looks so much like the previous African HN. I also saw http://techcabal.com , which seems to be about Africa.

The crypto-currencies have shown that we don't have to be totally dependent on the private/govt. banks - central banks - to make money & use it as a medium of exchange. The solar energy kits have also shown that the government/private-owned and costly electricity we use at our various homes can be replaced with a solar kit that can generate pretty much the same amount of energy AND we don't have to continue paying the enterprises the huge amount of monies for electricity.

Is the QEG project (https://hopegirl2012.wordpress.com/) pragmatic enough to be explored by the masses like they explored the crypto-currencies & the solar-kits projects out there?
