It is no doubt that the world is experiencing a global rise in technology and this doesn't sound unprecedented as the world has been on the oars of expectation for years now, but a major question everyone is asking now is, what is Africa's contribution in this global drift. this has been pertinently discussed in lectures in the university, economic forums and even public forums but little or no effect have been felt from Africa in recent times.

there has been groundbreaking revolutions out of America, Asia, Europe but Africa has been silent on its activities.

Nigeria, The most populous country in Africa dishes out over 500,000 university graduates yearly of which about 30 % are courses that are technology related but still no visible effect on the economy from technology itself.
This is not to condemn the educational system but to serve as a Clarion call for all and sundry to wake up and set our priorities right.
