Student Innovation Challenge (SIC) Bootcamp 2019

Either of the two (2) happened:

(a) It’s either I was playing an imaginary piano, or;
(b) I was completing the predictive modeling script for predicting football matches using historical data sets. Hmm! interesting research... Lol

Anyways! that is the Student Innovation Challenge (SIC) Bootcamp 2019. The SIC is a nationwide innovation challenge which held across the six geo-political zones in Nigeria. Over 5,000 student-entrepreneurs and innovators contested for seed funding opportunity for their startups and inventions. Out of this number, 21 participants emerged as finalists. The finals provide student innovators the opportunity to pitch their inventions to a robust national audience led by the Vice President of Nigeria, State Governors, Heads of Relevant Government Establishments and Captains of Industry. The initiative is one of Civic Foundation for Innovation’s contribution to changing the job-seeking mindset of Nigerian youths to entrepreneurship and self-reliance by encouraging them to develop skills for self-employment, providing access to seed funding and micro credits.

(e) And don’t be scared, that's PAINT BALL
(f) Last point; always remember that line of CODE in “Skeleton Move” by Master KG ft Zanda Zakuza
“No matter where you go, remember the road that will lead you home”.

And I have a feeling that “Wanetwa Mos” means
“Be Phenomenal or Be Forgotten!”

(g) Wishing Everyone Happy Holidays and Celebrations!

Africa Code Week 2017

Over the next 25 years, Africa’s working-age population will double to one billion, exceeding that of China and India. In the meantime, the digital skills gap is widening: while coding has the power to put millions of young Africans on the path to successful careers and empower them to build sustainable growth, companies in Africa are currently struggling to hire enough qualified IT talent. So the question is not whether a full life cycle of skills support for young people in Africa needs to be created, but when. Africa Code Week says: NOW.
