Bijimi, the Digital Bull from Zinox

For nearly a decade, Zinox Technologies Limited, Africa’s ICT pride has been driven by the need to create an international standard in ICT sector.
It was that singular factor that led Zinox to the launch of Nigeria’s first internationally certified branded computer systems, laptops and servers in October 9, 2001.
Today, with the massive excitement in the market place and rise of fringe players, Zinox is still credited for spearheading the revolution that has taken computer to most homes, offices, schools and hospitals.
As a company which believes that the technological advancement of any nation largely depends on how scientific knowledge is acquired, organized, developed, domesticated and put into use, Zinox is not resting on its laurels.
Instead, it is leveraging on the expertise of the promoters to develop even more user friendly products.
The latest is Zinox Bijimi PRO – the digital bull, a high performance and robust system for professionals is the exemplary workaholic.
Bijimi is actually Hausa word for bull, an adult male of various large mammal species including elk, moose, bovines (especially cattle), elephants, whales, seals, and sea lions.
This notebook has been certified by Intel Corporation and Microsoft runs on latest Intel power processors T3400 and P8600, with 2.16GHz, 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD, 15.4” display screen, webcam, bluetooth, Microsoft Vista business/XP PRO and comes standard with additional battery that gives the user a minimum of 13hrs interruptible usage of this world-class model.
Zinox Bijimi PRO, a product of 18 months of extensive research with Zinox technical partners was released along the three other notebooks including Zinox Bijimi Sage NoteBook, designed to promote a consciousness in appreciation of the African continent’s great sages like Nelson Mandela, Jomo Kenyatta, Ahmadu Bello, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi Awolowo, Abdul Naser, Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah and so on.
The place of Leo-Stan Ekeh, the chief promoter of Zinox should also be noted in the burgeoning development because his vision to computerize Nigeria has rewritten the history of information Technology in the Third World.
Fondly called the "Bill Gates of Africa", h e pioneered Desktop publishing and Computer graphics in Nigeria with his first company Task Systems Ltd in 1989.
The vision of the founding fathers of Zinox must be commended, while efforts should be made to encourage Nigerian professionals to use the notebook.
Government should work on palliatives to enable interested Nigerians acquire the notebooks and other ICT materials that can help build knowledge economy.
It is also important to extend the same battery life to all Zinox notebooks given the notoriously unreliable state of public power supply.
