about:Started a free online product listing system while at University(2005). Converted it into an online store once out of school but never implemented fully till I quit my job as a consultant to MTN Nigeria early(2008). With a friend on mine, ran it for two years on a shoestring budget. Failed miserably and tried to reinvent it into an online shopping mall. But partners left me and I'm currently doing the re-invention alone out of my apartment in Lagos state. http://www.Flegz.com re-invented would correctly solve the currently problem of online shopping in Nigeria with all the headaches that come with inventory and logistics that prevails in a city like Lagos and in country like Nigeria and a few other African and Asian countries. If gotten right can be replicated in more countries.

Personally I'm 31. Spent my time since 21 working on one php/mysql code or the other and have worked as a freelance consultant to several small companies including( MTN Nigeria, Remotely for Colleagues at MTN South Africa, American University of Nigeria via Quanteq Tech Service Ltd. ), and a long list of more. Not just got my first girlfriend in 4 four years two months ago. Hungry for something successful on a really large scale. Have turned down several offers for full time employment in the hopes of succeeding at on Idea on a monumental scale. Every day increases this hunger.

I love movies and most times have to watch from my laptop since I rarely leave my computer and Spotify is a life saver.

I'm also working on a domain registration and management site/tool for non-geeks since I've survived by domain registration and hosting services for my clients I figured it's a logical setup to keep the lights on. While I attempt to tackle the more complex problems of e-commerce in third-world.
