ECONOMIC JUSTICE THROUGH FREE ENTERPRISE: '' Of Linda Ikeji.vs.Dele Momodu and of IBM.vs.Microsoft"

Hello Friends, It's been a long while...Abeg make una no vex, at least 10 koboko for me. I know by now you are all bored with the news of how Linda Ikeji (A Nigerian blogger) bought her NGN600 million mansion in Banana Island pitching her neighborhood with Michael Adenuga and Dantata. Okay, and you all know our charismatic Bob Dee: Prince Dele Momodu who rose to prominence and fame by showcasing the lifestyles of the wealthy among us even up to other West African coasts through his classical magazine: Ovation Magazine. Now, there's hardly any difference between what Linda Ikeji does and what Bob Dee does. They both showcase the lifestyles of the rich, gossip about politicians, celebrities and they make us salivate with pictures. However the difference is accessibility, while Ovation magazine is exclusive to the rich, lindaikeji is readily available to everybody for free. This brings me to the story of IBM.vs.Microsoft IBM in the past used to be a Computer company who manufactures Computer systems with it's own complex software applications for classified clients until Microsoft came and made computers and software application accessible to all and user friendly. Today, Linda Ikeji is as rich as Dele Momodu whom she met in the industry. If not richer, it's only a matter of few more years. Same as Microsoft Inc who today can buy IBM 10 times despite it's reorganization. My Point 1. Free enterprise all over the world has proven to be more profitable than paid enterprise, We should try as much as possible to make our products accessible to all by making them as free as possible. This is a reason why I love one of the verse of the JCI creed which states that "Economic justice can best be won through free men only through free enterprise" 2. We should all dare the untrodden path. Nigerians have a culture of always flooding a booming path. E.g Linda Ikeji made fortune out of blogging cos she blazed the trail when blogging wasn't popular as far back as 2006, today there are millions of bloggers including me via www.adeboyeadekunle.blogspot.com who hardly make 1 Naira from the trade, same as in telecommunications and other trade. Try something nobody has dared before and pursue it vigorously. With this new 're-invigorating spirit, we can create a sustainable economy that will not only last us but last our generation unborn.
