NAIJ.com gathered that, Raji who graduated from Olashore International School in Nigeria, attended a technical school for a year before his studying Computer Science at Howard University.

Describing his stay at Howard University the young man disclosed that: “I met two wonderful people at Howard who are now my roommates, Errol Grannum and Barry Harris, they along with his mentor, Emmanuel Ademuwagun and their interest in computer science spurred the change of my major.”

HBCUBuzz.com also reported that while Raji was at Howard, he was exposed to various career opportunities that any student would not think twice before jumping at the offer. He served as a Google EDGE participant in his freshman year and continued to move full speed ahead.

      My official duties supersedes my duties here in WizyTechs.Com but i promise that i will always be online so as to drop my comments.

    4. Thanks for bringing sanity here. I don't understand why some people don't know how to be civilized while on a social media platform.

  8. It's all about IMEI tweaking. Change the IMEI of your phone to that of a BB10 and then dial *431# after loading 1k in your SIM card.

    1. Tweaking is mostly done in mtk powered devices and note that it will last only if you don't download much.
