IBM Lasgidi Hackathon..Was there!.




Hmm Saying it was fun is just a gross understatement.Been out for a while (internship -busy) so i couldn't really blog.Anyways i was at the IBM Lasgidi Hackathon which took place in Lagos Nigeria from 21st to 24th October 2013(this year). At Cchub Yaba to be more Specific. I got to go with my colleages/fellow interns and got to meet some of the world's smartest people(no kidding!). For those who are not aware, a hackathon is an event where computer programmers meet and compete for a prize(or prizes) by developing a software,service(..e.t.c). I loved Every minute trust me...And by the way, my team didn't win any of the three prizes. But..that's ok i'm over it now.....I met some new friends and hmm well..some new friends!

By administrative, i mean positions of authority that entail attending to students. Before i bore you, let me narrow this to the matter at hand. I've seen irritable, angry, hot-tempered, short-tempered, quick-tempered, rude, angry and irritable people. I am not trying to impress with language here. I've walked into offices as a green undergraduate seeking help and gotten treatments that brought tears to my eyes, meted out to me by fat women behind desks, who ignored their duties and munched egg-roll or boiled groundnuts, and gossiped about their office colleague who had stepped out to pee.
