Yesterday's Concatenate conference showed what's possible when we give young people an opportunity to flourish and express themselves. I am so glad @codebeast @unicodeveloper and other conceived and executed this. Well done, ladies and gentlemen. Well done.
A group of Nigerian young men and women with so much help, gathered some of the finest engineers all around the world to speak in a Nigerian technology conference. This is AMAZING!!!! Like AMAZING!!!
To every organisation that sponsored the event, I am saying thank you on behalf of all the amazing attendants from yesterday. You made the last 2 days possible. Thank you.
Before now, it was hard to put a Nigerian and the Internet in the same sentence without raising eyebrows. I am so happy the narrative is changing gradually. We will keep building, speaking, writing, organising, etc. One event at a time, one article at a time.
What we need the people in power now to do is to help #EndSARS. We have honourable men and women who are working hard daily to better their lot. We aren't asking for too much, we just want the harassment to stop. Let people go about their lives with their laptops freely.
If we have been exporting oil to the world for the last 50+ years, I guess the decade will be all about exporting technology and technical talents to the world. It will be a win-win for everyone if the government can help #EndSARS.
