Video excerpt from Nigeria’s 50^th anniversary lecture at the Embassy of Nigeria, Paris. Mr. Eemeagwali had some excellent quotes including:

• “I see the internet enabling citizens to become reporters, decentralizing the media. I see technology enabling freedom of the press and democracy in Africa.”
• “Democracy without technology is void.”
• “My journey to the frontier of knowledge did not begin in America. It began in 1960 in Colonial Africa.”
