After completing my National Youth Service, I saved up for a Nokia Xpress Music phone, which was all I could afford at the time. Later, I upgraded to a Blackberry Bold 5, and my excitement knew no bounds. I spent hours browsing the internet, taking pictures, and constantly checking my phone as someone who has been waiting on the Lord for a child and finally had one🤔. My expensive phone and I were two jolly friends who could not do without each other. This was 2010😏
About Computes
My experience with computers was similarly limited. Despite studying computer science in university, our education was largely theoretical. Most Nigerian universities focus on theory, leaving practical skills lacking. During my internship, I finally gained hands-on experience with computers. Mavis Beacon taught me typing skills, all my thoughts were on Mavis Beacon as I was eager to learn typing and be fast as a cheetah 🐆 After the Internship, I was back to my no gadgets lifestyle. However, I got back to it when I was observing youth service, I was posted as a computer typist to a road safety corps and I started developing my skills and exploring my world to learn more about computers and thank God where I am today on my tech journey.
Myself and my computer
Those struggles shaped my determination to provide better opportunities for my children. I don't want them to experience the same frustrations I faced. I want them to grow up with access to technology, exploring, and learning without limitations. Now, navigating phones and computers is second nature to me. I've come a long way, and I'm grateful for the journey. But I'm more grateful for the chance to give my children a better start.

It’s sad that you studied computer science and it was still theoretical throughout. What’s even worse is the fact that the story is still the same in most schools as at now.
I’m actually glad that your experiences shaped your determination to provide better opportunities for your children.
I am telling you, my dear sister
So sad! So poor!
