The Nigerian tech scene is booming. With increased access to mobile technology and connected cities, West African designers and developers are creating unique solutions to literacy, mobile apps, and games. This talk will look at some success stories, such as Genii games and CcHub, and offer ways that Western tech communities can find common cause with this community. There are so many amazing people doing amazing things there, I just want to show another community what is happening, and offer some ideas on what it means to be an African with a foot in both worlds.
