2012 was simply amazing...


I entered the year 2012 as a random web and software developer. As usual i was still struggling to blend my life as a second year student of Methodist University College Ghana and my life as the founder of a software development start-up Oasis Websoft.   Oasis WebSoft was developed with the idea to provide web and software solutions here in Ghana and beyond. It was almost three months since I had  left my job as the lead software developer @ 9ja Mini, a start-up by a good Nigerian friend of mine which  aims to bring all social chat apps to one platform via a mobile and web app.This is a small documentary we shot during one of our late night hackerthon at 9ja Mini   -  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrRA0b_MRFQ
     My year started off with the official launch of Anansi web browser which i developed with two of my good friends namely Aaron and Gyanta.The beta version of the Anansi web browser became a quick success and we have since had 3,678 downloads on softpedia  In 2013 we will be releasing the full version with a Chromium engine  The picture above is a picture of me ( in red ) Displaying Anansi web browser to my friends on my university campus and demonstrating how it works for the first time in November 2011.
    After the launch of the web browser i wrote a Java Matrix Library  that includes calculation of determinants, matrix multiplication, addition, encoding ,decoding ,cipher ,Gauss Jordan and echelon of a matrix.I wrote it in the Java programming language and can be run on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.Our first method calculates the determinant of a two by two sized matrix.It was quickly adopted by Softpedia and added to their database of software programs for the Windows operating system. I did this project as part of my contribution to the open source community.
      In march I was awarded by the Free software and Open Source for Africa (FOSSFA) in Abuja Nigeria as a Guido Sohne fellow in recognition of my continuous use and support for open source technologies such as Linux,Fedora and Drupal, and for having a technological vision for Africa just like the late Guido Sohne. I posted a blog post about my award and the late Guido Sohne called Guido Sohne is my role model.
      We also launched and deployed Anansi Operating System ( Linux Distribution ) which we built with open source technologies like Suse and Kiwi. Currently we have released the complete source code here https://github.com/raindolf/Anansi   We have embeded all the basic softwares and system wares that will enhance your desktop connectivity examples are wine-devel package,apache2 package, audacity package,libreoffice-base package,anansi softwares,netbeans-javaparser package plus many more. With the help of more code contributors we hope to add a bundle of educational tools targeting our educational system in Africa and possibly with a local language  ( Swahili and twi etc. ) keyboard layout and localisation of some of these educational tools. 
       Other software we also launched were Diabetes web app (It is a simple web application that allows you to know your diabetes status. ) , Anansi Calcpad is a handy application we developed in tandem with Seafire Software that allows you to perform basic calculations in a familiar interface. The software also allows you to take notes in the Story Pad view.You can access Google Reader from the application’s menu (the News Aggregator View) in order to read news. We also deployed our first mobile app called  Anansi app . It mobile app that is a social news blog that delivers latest news and information from CNN,TechCrunch and Oasis WebSoft  plus you learn to also code via my you-tube channel. Download now from the Windows phone market place. http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/6c42d665-6013-4616-8dd0-3ee58016c34c
      Finally my company joined forces with other African developers to develop and launch Africapp. A pan-African mobile application store that aims to serve the growing need of mobile users in Africa and Diaspora.
       My company was nominated for the 2012 Africa Awards for Entrepreneurship (AAE) due to our exceptional entrepreneurial achievements. I am currently featured in the November issue of Forbes Africa Magazine dubbed “Mark Zuckerburg of Accra”. I was given an award by Methodist University's Student Representative Council for being the University's Achiever of the Year 2012 and also featured in my school's home page http://www.mucg.edu.gh/ I was also interviewed on Ghana's E.tv The Be Bold show  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXZ2E6OvD-8
I also did some key note presentations. My major one was at the first ever IT Leaders West Africa Summit  held in Ghana. I spoke on engaging with mobile technology. I also did a presentation on Building the African Web for Mobile @ Mobile Monday. 
      My start up company grew from a small software company into providing web and software solutions to companies as well as individuals in Ghana and beyond. Some of our clients include MVP Hair  , Odoom & Associates, LLC ( USA ) and African Economic Development Plan ( USA ) 
I concluded the year by helping the Barcamp Ghana team, Google Ghana and Ghana Think foundation organize Barcamp Accra in my university .Barcamp Accra assembled Accra stakeholders , mentors and youth together in one building. The theme was “Removing fear of failure as a start of success. Check our photos from the event here >>
     My predictions for next year is to grow our revenues , expand our online teaching school , employ and train a few more people. We also hope to advocate the use of Free and Open source technologies to  boost economic growth and reduce poverty through mobile, web and software solutions in Ghana and the rest of Africa.Hard work will always beat talent :) Although I do not expect to finish my work within this life time , i will do my best and let God handle the rest. I want to thank each and everyone who believes in my vision.God Bless you all and in 2013 we will continue our good work.   Happy new year :) #TeamOasis

  8. My name is Alice and I just want to give a quick review and introduce you to LANX CREDIT SOLUTION, I must tell you that I was skeptical at first about this Company when they told me they’ll remove all the derogatory items in my report, and give me a better FICO. Believe me, giving in to their offer is the best decision I have made in a while, my FICO went from low 485 to a high 780 and my husband’s score went from 612 to 800. We did all they asked us to do and delivered as promised. They removed late payments, some charge offs, eviction and collections. We are still amazed at how awesome this company is. Call them on (310) 879 2541 or email them at LANXCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM. You also will testify…

  10. Do you want a quick, genuine and permanent credit repair? then contact LANX CREDIT SOLUTION via LANXCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM / call or text (310) 879 2541. I had couple of collections and late payments plus my son’s student loans and some charge offs. My credit score was at the low 560 and needed to get approved for mortgage loan but was denied several times. A colleague told me about this people and how they fixed her credit in 10 days. I was moved so I contacted them on the 2nd OCT 2020 and they fixed my credit before 2 weeks. My score was increased to 790s and the negatives cleared. They promised that the repair is permanent. Big Shout out to them.

  12. Truthfully, taking the decision of contacting a credit repair company was not an easy one, I desperately needed a home, I couldn’t get one due to the evictions and Late payments on my credit, with a very low FICO, I was frustrated and had no choice but try one. Luckily for my I read some very good reviews on LANX CREDIT SOLUTION and decided to contact them. I have never been happier, my FICO was increased to 750 and the late payments and evictions were taken off my report. Superb service I must say!!! You can reach them on LANXCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM or (310) 879 2541. thanks

  13. I went through divorce recently and let my wife and kids stay in our marital home for a year before we sold it. During that time, I provided her with enough money each month to pay the mortgage and some bills. She unfortunately made several late payments even though she had the money. I was now unable to obtain a mortgage because no lender would work with me even though I had zero debt so I needed an expert that will help me fix my credit so I can be qualified for a mortgage. My uncle told me about a Credit Company that helped him remove medical bills and raised his score to 791 in 4days. I emailed them on RAPIDCREDITREPAIRS@GMAIL.COM and they responds quickly after texting (415) 754-7204. Well I did and eventually got started with the project with them. I was amazed after 4days on how they pulled through for me and removed all my late payments, raising my score to 799. I got the mortgage and all thanks to RAPID and their team for helping me. Contact them with the above email and number.

  14. I had a poor credit which was largely due to identity theft, I needed a loan to finance my business but could not get one because my credit was not just good enough, after trying everything things went from bad to worse, the more I disputed the lower my credit score went. This continued till a Pal introduced me to Lanx Credit Solution. I explained my position and they assured me that they could help me put things in order by fixing my credit and increasing my score. They kept their words, I am still in awe. I now have a credit score of 782, all the negative items that bedeviled my credit were removed finally. It was good one. Get to them on Lanxcreditsolution@gmail.com, text/call (214) 888 9709.

  15. The benefits of having a good credit can never be over emphasized, as a young Adult I made lots of mistakes and I’ve been paying for them ever since. As a divorcee with 4 kids living with a poor credit was not easy, I needed a mortgage loan because I needed a better home for my kids and I, I had an eviction, 4 hard inquiries, late payments and huge credit card debts. It wasn’t funny at all because I suffered a great deal. The good news is a credit repair company known as Lanx Credit Solution ensure that I was able to live my life to the fullest, they helped me improve my credit, removed all the negative and derogatory items, gave me a very high FICO score of 750. I will leave their contact here so you also can benefit from their excellent work LANXCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM and (214) 888 9709…

  16. I and my husband were in need of fixing our credit. We were having eviction along with our daughter and almost 2 year old granddaughter. We were so tired of struggling and paying awful high rent because we couldn’t buy a house as a result of our bad credit. I went online and I read a lot of good reviews about HACKNET CREDIT SPECIALIST so I contacted him via his contacts; HACKNET567@GMAIL.COM (949) 397 8437. I issued out my credit situation to him and he promised to help me fix my credit within 5days. We got started and after 5days he got back to me with good news. He deleted all the nagging public/negative items and eventually raised my score to 803. We bought a new home and we are living happily ever after as a family. I strongly recommend HACKNET for your credit issues. Thank me later

  18. We need to stop being fooled by all these brokers and account managers, they scammed me over $185,000 of my investment capital, they kept on requesting for extra funds before a withdrawal request can be accepted and processed, in the end, I lost all my money. All efforts to reach out to their customer support desk had declined, I found it very hard to move on. I was researching and find a broadcast that teaches on how scammed victims can recover their funds, I contacted the email provided for consultation, Sean_recovery@cyber-wizard.com I got feedback after some minutes and I was asked to provide all legal details concerning my investment, I did exactly what they instructed me to do without delay, to my greatest surprise I was able to recover my money back including my profit which my capital generated. I said I will not hold this to myself but share it to the public so that all scammed victims can get their funds back.

  19. Credit Patching Professionals!
    I also came across thecybergoat @) techie .com sometime last month as I need to have my loan approved. It's tough out here, no judging! So I reached out and told them about my BK and all defaults I wanted off my credit. My score was 462, Experian. In just three days, if memory serves me right, these repair pros had me in the 740s range. They are quite impressive. I would tell you to seek thecybergoat services, you'll really be impressed!
