The Nigerian programmer who developed an Operating System

Aminu Bakori is a Software Developer, Programmer and CEO of Friendstie Concepts; a technology company that designs and builds custom computer software and online services for individuals and businesses around the world.

Even though computing started many years ago,  Aminu started coding in senior secondary school; about 8years ago. He started coding when the now defunct Liberty Reserve was one of the only ways of buying web hosting services.

When he started programming, a yearning for change drove him to try, fail and rise again in several business endeavours.

After the death of a social network he started, Friendstie Social Network, Aminu vowed that the failures would not deter him. Therefore, he kept working hard until Friendstie Concepts the software company had a solid footing. The company is currently registered as a business in Nigeria.

According to Aminu, minimizing costs for clients and creating value are the major driving forces behind his software solutions and business as a whole.

When my interest in startups was ignited, what lit the fire was questions like “Why keep using what somebody has made when I can better it? I have always been a stickler for creating value and solving problems.

Interestingly, under his company Friendstie Concepts, Aminu has built an operating system, an office collaboration solution that works without internet connection and an enterprise management solution which combines the different features of enterprise management software.

Cloudiora OS
Cloudiora is a cross-platform operating system that works well across all devices.
He said: I always like to define Cloudiora as an operating system rebuilt, re-imagined and reinvented using web technology. In this part of the world where computers are still bulky and somewhat expensive, an operating system should not add to the bulk.

Cloudiora was built on the web because web applications do not require a large space.

So without a virtual machine, Cloudiora works on Windows, Linux or Mac. Cloudiora in Aminu’s words is the best of all worlds and it sure looks so.

As a multi-device operating system, Cloudiora translates the same way across every computational device without a change. Other operating systems have a different user interface on desktop and mobile, but Cloudiora is the same everywhere; same codebase and exact user interface.

Like every other operating system, Cloudiora has its own AI assistant – Leila, an app store and a dedicated browser called Blade.

Cloudiora is interesting and exciting, so I wanted to know when it would be available for users, however, Aminu laughingly refused to give specifics.

We are currently working on getting it installed and shipped as custom OS for devices sometime before January, but it is currently ready for release.

Buzz
Buzz is a workplace collaboration tool for offices, startups and teams. In essence, Buzz may be categorized as a combination of Slack and Skype, but the amazing thing about it is that it works without the internet.

EMS
It's an enterprise management software used by SMEs to manage their customer relations, financial records and inventory.
