WordPress wordcamp 2018 in Lagos is my first wordcamp
I was at the WordPress WordCamp 2018 and I can’t help but reminisce about how it all started. I have built WordPress from my second year at the university and I still remember my first encounter with HTML and CSS. Back in the day, I would get a sheet of plain paper, draw out the structure of the website and start writing the codes to make this happen. This was not very easy as you must have imagined but I would stay awake all night until I met Isaiah who build websites with Drupal.
I found Drupal and Joomla quite unfriendly but as soon as I tried WordPress, I knew instantly that I have found the perfect solution.
Till date, I have delivered over 100 websites and they all run on WordPress.
WordPress has not only made web development an easy task, it has also created a really cool source of revenue.
What does this mean for Nigeria?
This suggests that the attention of the world is gradually focusing greatly on Nigeria, especially its digital space hence, the need for Nigerians to focus on the internet. Google has realized this which is why they are training Nigerians and advertising massively here. we have the numbers for consumption, all we need is to focus on production.
