To quote this piece: Ayodeji Awosika, “Voices from Web3Bridge cohort 12,” We Them Media, https://wethem.xyz/watch/voices-from-web3bridge-cohort-12-ikorodu-lagos. Each transcript line links to its second.
Maceo’s visit to Web3Bridge in Ikorodu, Lagos, the programme that trains blockchain developers in Nigeria and across Africa, introduced by its founder, Ayodeji Awosika. “For the last 5 and a half years, Web3Bird has been training amazing developers in Nigeria and in Africa.” The numbers for cohort 12: “We had 74 guys into the court, 39 guys directly from the court.” And the reach of the next one: “we have a lot of guys to apply from Cameroon, from Togo, from Kenya, from Zimbabwe, from Uganda. And yes, Nigeria is not left out.”
He hands over to the graduates: “Today, I’m chilling with Maceo and his team,” and “They are speaking with the guys that just finished from the course Make sure you watch that.” Then the sign-off he borrows from the channel. “In 3, 2, 1 Booyah!”
This is the opener of a set of nine short pieces from the same afternoon, one voice each, on the playlist linked below: a 19-year-old building Race3, a dApp that releases funds to founders by milestone; why Web3 adoption in Nigeria ’will take a lot of time’ and needs education that goes to the markets; wanting to be ’part of the guys that are building’; alumni back for a ZK masterclass who ’take their time to break it down’; the advice to applicants to ’just pack his bags and come’; transparency, twice, as the reason Africa needs blockchain; and ’Web3 is the new web.’ The transcript below is from the original audio.
