Voices from Web3Bridge cohort 12.

Filmed by Maceo · Lagos

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.
