Hi all, this is my first post here. I am member of the world memory sports council and international association of memory, my company is currently working with the world bodies on a project to promote diversity in brain sports. This project involves testing, training and presenting qualified individuals from sub-saharan Africa for sponsorship to represent the continent at Brain championship events around the world.
My company is in charge of this project, being the only certified memory arbiter in sub-saharan Africa. Therefore, I am building an audition mobile app to test and select qualified individuals for training and presented for sponsorship to Brain championship events.
I will like to deploy on all major mobile platforms, almost about the same time, so am looking to build it with phonegap. The whole interface is already designed in jquery mobile, what if left now is the backend.
I’m looking to work with a tech partner who is very good with using web technologies with phonegap. This partnership will be very flexible and rewarding. And am opened to all terms. Kindly let me know you might be interested. niyi@tinq.space . Thank you
I had to read this a few times to be sure, memory sports is a thing? Man, you learn something new everyday.
Actually yes. I went for a memory challenge one time in 2007. It was about the same time Ben Carson came around to Lagos, sort of joint event. Well, I didn’t do well. But yea, it’s a thing. We were staged to memorize about 500 random double digit numbers in 5 minutes. And even beyond in words and phrases.
Loll…I know right? It’s been a sport since 1991. In 2007, I became the first black man to participate from sub-saharan Africa, representing Nigeria. I launched the Nigerian National Memory Sports Council in 2009, Dr. Ben Carson was the keynote speaker at the event
.
It’s just not a popular sport in this part of the world because of the level of commitment required. But this time, we hope to take it mainstream
Yeah, I organised that event then. Dr. Adeniyi Adeniji. I was the guy that brought Dr Carson to Nigeria then. Good to know someone still remembers… Loll

I never understood what this sort of sports/sports-council was about. Nway, it could as well tell us what the app would be about, Oooops! I hope I ain’t forcing you to spill out your ideas.
