Obi presents N100m to the army

Satisfied with the level of work carried out by army engineers in the reconstruction of internal roads within the Barracks at Onitsha, Governor Peter Obi Friday presented another cheque of N100 Million Naira to the Army, bringing it to N200 million given to them so far for the project.

Presenting the cheque, the Governor said that it was in line with the policy of his Government to work with all the Federal agencies in the State on the reason that all of them ultimately serve the good of the State and her people.

He regretted that before he became Governor, it was a cat and mouse relationship between Anambra Government and Security agencies in the State and that the State suffered because of that. “If you remember, in that reckless era, the State was burnt down. But I can assure you that with the level of civility we have restored, such a thing would not happen again, the Governor said.

He also urged the army to continue to utilize the funds properly. He said that Government was about collaboration with organizations of goodwill that were willing to make sacrifices for the good of the people. Using the Church as one organization working closely with the State, the Governor said that since schools were returned to the Church and money given to them directly to rehabilitate the schools, the State had never been the same again.

The Governor stated that his Government was committed to the upgrade of Onitsha,saying that besides the roads, he would return to the barracks for the rehabilitation of their schools.

Receiving the cheque, the Chief of Army Staff, Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika said he decided to come in person because Governor Obi was doing remarkably well for the his State and the Army. He said he had received tremendous support from him since his appointment unlike in the past. He said that Anambra State was now enjoying peace under the leadership of Governor Obi.

The Chief of Staff commended the Commander of the 302 Artillery Regiment under the Command of Col TA Gagariga, under whom old vehicles were rehabilitated. He assured that his Office would continue to offer support to all military formations in the country.

Samsung reportedly close to releasing Glass competitor — and Google’s involved

This one is definitely a rumor, but its source is reliable enough to warrant a little speculation. Analyst and blogger Eldar Murtazin tweeted a rather definite message this week that Samsung is “developing [its] own version of Google Glass. We will see it (probably) around April – May under Gear Glass brand.” Given that Google’s own version of Glass is not expected to hit the mass market until early 2014, Samsung’s Glass competitor could very well race Google’s to market. That might seem like a nightmare for Google, which has invested heavily in Glass and is no doubt planning for a strong event launch, but as was pointed out in a CNet article, the use of the word “Glass” implies an official partnership. Samsung is known for its aggressive branding and Google would likely raise legal concerns regardless, so it’s unlikely the brand Gear Glass would be used without a partnership. Does Google even want to sell Glass, or does it just want you wearing face-screens? ...
