#WisdomWednesday #AboutLastNight In this day and age any nation without a concise and conscious plan of action in nurturing, implementing and investing in the technology sector as part of their development plan cannot be globally competitive. There are many like @kantankaautomobile + @ktamobileusa excelling in the area of #AfricanInnovation and #TechnologicalDevelopment from and right here in #OurBlackStarNation whose efforts are not being recognized as they should in the pride of our nation. Now it is time for our leaders to allow industry to thrive with job creation at the forefront by doing their part in legislation that relieves cumbersome tariffs and tax burdens which stifle growth of industry and global competitiveness for those of us who have chosen to invest and build businesses and industry locally. Africans are innovating - whether we nurture and invest in the talent at home to solve African problems is the question in promise that we must hold our leaders accountable for @nakufoaddo. #IPA2017 #InnovationPrizeForAfrica #AIF #AfricansInTech #SelfDetermination #StarsOfOurOwnStories #CooperativeEconomics #GloballyLocalSolutions #OurGlobalFusion (at Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel Accra)

#ForwardFriday #AfricansInTech #AfricanInnovation We can't live our best lives if we are not making an Impact! Great to end my evening with African Tech Entrepreneurs and learning more about the entrepreneurial journeys of LION@FRICA. The impact of technology in Africa is astronomical in the present and future of the continent's development and global competitiveness. So much talent on the continent and it's inspirational to see and hear that many are not waiting for opportunity, but rather creating opportunities. Everything starts with having faith in yourself! #TechIsKing #TechIsNow #TechIsTheFuture #OurGlobalFusion (at Impact Hub Accra)

#TechThursday #AfricansInTech After 4 years from concept to fulling a dream of a CEO who changed course to Computer Science because the woman in charge of the computer room in his university in NY would always discriminate against him and deny him access to using the computers. He decided he wanted to know more about what was so precious in those computers that was being denied him, and after completing his masters in computer science and tech security - He gathered a group of us friends and family together in furtherance of a dream in contribution to the legacy of #OurBlackStarNation. Today, the first Ghanaian-American owned and operated smartphone manufacturing company has come to fruition from a place of denial, to a dream to becoming a reality to further the future! As of this Sunday, Amazon - the largest retailer in the world, will be shipping out orders of KTA Mobile's first smartphone #Nuloop #Starline Make a purchase, give us feedback and #Support #AfricanDreamsInInnovation #OurGlobalFusion
