Internet Data Is Very Expensive in Africa (Major Hindrance to Wealth Creation In Africa)

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

Introduction

There are so many people living on this planet, and all of them have their own views on what life means to them. My nappy hair, who says that life is fair! If we say that life is a challenge, this doesn’t necessarily mean that we perceive the world in a dull way – it means that we understand that life is not always a piece of cake, but in this feature there also can be seen the beauty of life.
Generally speaking, most people in Africa cannot afford internet data to their satisfaction. No one can deny that there are many different moments in our life when we are sad or disappointed; often there are various events that are bitter and very unpleasant. We cannot totally avoid these aspects of our life, as it is always interrelated with the other people and everything can drastically change any moment. A lot of people in Africa find internet data to be too expensive . In such situations, they just choose not to interfere in the course of affairs and complain about their life.

Why A Major Priority (Internet)

#Internet has been a major challenge for us to promote #steemit in Ghana. we've got a whole list waiting.. We need internet to propel the actions and to motivate the people to make our dreams come true.

As a disruptionista of finance, I believe strongly that internet is needed to produce billionaires in Africa with the birth of cryptocurrency. Now let's do a recap here:

The evolution of banking and finance is now taking place. Bitcoin, the Napster of the banking and finance arena, has clearly cut the value chain of the largest industry in the world with 1000 lines of python code. The adage “I just sank your battleship” is now in full effect and the financial industry cannot stop it. If the bankers try to stop digital currency, they will suffer the same fate as the music industry befell with the arrival of Napster. Financial institutions will be impacted just as encyclopedia sales, energy, automobile, hospitality and transportation are being disrupted today by the likes of
Wikipedia, SolarCity, Tesla, AirBnB and Uber.

At the heart of all disruptions are innovative thinkers who know when and how to spot a market that’s ready for a fundamental shift. It's the wave of digital currency, where players you have never heard of, like steem are set to become the next unicorns—unicorns that you have an opportunity to invest in today.

.

Internet access must be made easy and less expensive that's if we want to produce a lot of billionaires and evacuate poverty in Africa. Many successful industries have been established with the birth of the internet. So ideally, I believe internet will do the magic for us here in Africa if we make it vulnerable.

Proposal For Help (Project Loon: Solar powered wifi baloons for Ghana-Africa)

Solar Powered Wifi Balloons was just known to me recently by the kind courtesy, a humanitarian, Zachary W. Williams a.k.a. @ackza, from the United states. I have seen the wonderful works-Puerto Rico regain cellphone signals after the hurricane! The same balloons over Africa and South America and Southern hemisphere that provided Wifi to people for a test run.
They can stay in the air and beam down wifi signals for cellphones to people. Imagine having a balloon you can just anchor to the ground and it just provides wifi, have the anchor locked up in a building or something guarded so no one steals the balloon at night, lol.

Conclusion

This innovation has since been giving me sleepless nights cause we need this wonderful initiative to create billionaires in Ghana and Africa as a whole. With the discovery of cryptocurrency, internet is very essential for this "Get Rich Project-End Poverty Now Africa." But unfortunately internet data is very expensive to afford here in Ghana. And i will be very glad if my country, Ghana will get a piece of this Solar Powered Wifi Balloons.


Many thanks to @ackza, @tytran, @stephenkendal, @jerrybanfield, @firepower, @stackin for promoting steemit at their respective places.
And heyy, if anyone can relay this info to @ned, I will be very glad. We want to promote his wonderful works here but #internet is a major hindrance.

People love the idea of steemit..... Social media that pays.... Built on blockchain......
But the imbalance of how much money is needed to buy internet is a big hinderace..

We need some form of intervention, practical not handing money out of us but creating an enabling environment.

The desire is there but the means to execute is amiss
