OAU GRADUATE BUILTS AN ANDROID WATCH TELLING TIME IN YORUBA LANGUAGE

By -
Moyinoluwa Adeyemi studied Computer
Science from Obafemi Awolowo
University, she is now a Software
Engineer at Swifta Systems and also a
co-organizer at Google
Developers Group.
One Friday evening after work, she had
an aha moment. She looked at a clock
and thought “What if it could tell the
time in Yoruba?”. That question has
lead to the development of an Android
Watch Face that tells time in Yoruba
language.
It wasn’t simple as a,b,c, she had to get
ideas from some of her friends and do
extensive research before she came up
with a working prototype. It will
probably be the first ever indigenous
watch face app on the google play store.
Yoruba Watch Faces by Moyin is a
collection of Watch Faces built in a
popular local Nigerian dialect. There are
currently two Watch Faces in the
collection both of which are in Yoruba
Language. The illustrations were created
by @TheVunderkind and they depict a
man and a woman dressed in the
traditional Yoruba attire. The Watch
Faces work on all screen types; chin,
square and circle.

    Wao...trail blazer. Proudly Nigeria. We are built theoretically, and we make moves in the practical world. How I wish it's the same way we can be built practically, then we would become movers from Africa.

THE SEVEN UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS OF SOCIOLOGY

By -
1. Sociology is a social science and not a natural science. This distinction is by content not by method. That is, sociology simply serves to distinguish those sciences dealing with the physical from the social universe. 2. Sociology is a categorical and not a normative discipline. By this is meant that sociology confines itself to statements of what is, not what ought to be. 3. Sociology is not an applied science but a pure science. Its main goal is the acquisition of knowledge about human society, not the utilization of that knowledge. For instance, sociology is mainly concerned with acquiring the knowledge about society that can be used to solve some of the world’s problems, but it is not itself an applied science. 4. Sociology is not interested in the concrete manifestations of human events but rather, in the form they take and the patterns they assume. 5. Sociology is a generalizing, not a particularizing or individualizing science. It looks for general laws about human g...
