#CODEGIRL: A team of 5 girls represented Nigeria in an app competition in the USA back in July and won, yet no one heard about it

We never heard about them because they have no foreign VCs backing them and do not belong to the Yaba Left clique :smiley:

Most importantly they did not attend an ā€œeducational institutionā€ at Ikoyi that they had to ā€œtravel for 3 hoursā€ for some free lectures with a free MacBook :japanese_ogre:

Instead they attended an humble venture called - http://ikapturenetworks.org/ somewhere in Cross River - where they learnt to code with no strings attached but with the sole goal of helping them realise their true potentialā€¦I feel so proud of them even though I dont know them.

Well Done Girls !!! I have stolen their picture from their website to put here as a great honour to them. :clap::clap::clap:
