A tribute to Steve Jobs

October 6, 2011 | Posted In: news

Hi all

I woke up to the sad news to the passing on of Apple chairman, Steve jobs. It was 3.36am when i got the news via SMS from a friend, i was awakened by thunder and lightening yet there was no rain. I checked all social media platforms and confirmed it. Encipher owes Steve Jobs alot with regards to how to build things and make them work for the people. He inspired courage to do what others would term “a waste of time” or impossible. He has changed my thinking as a CEO who aims to challenge to status-quo and never to be afraid to fail at trying to do new things. He was an icon within technology who would be missed for many years to come.

As a company, Encipher would miss him, as a budding entrepreneur, i would miss someone to emulate. On the backdrop of this, we at Encipher are paying last respects like this:

• We would give out a free INYE tablet in Lagos.
• We now slash the price of the INYE tablet to N25,000

To qualify for the free tablet, just say something inspiring on our twitter handle (@enciphergroup) and copy @techloy in the tweet. Loy Okezie will choose the winner and make arrangements for your tablet. This offer is valid in Lagos.

For Abuja and rest of Nigeria: Please copy @spacely in the tweet and i will personally make arrangements to choose the winner and make arrangements for your tablet.

We will give away 2 free INYE-1 as a tribute to a father, a friend, a fellow entrepreneur and CEO.

Rest in Peace, Steve Jobs. I miss you already.
