As a founder, I grew with littler or no books to study for my examinations when I was a student. Looking back, with my team I have decided to provide what I do not have access to as student for people that are currently in my shoes. This is a thing of great joy.
Being a software developer for two decades and a full - stack developer is the best way to give back to my community.

Making a whole lot of educational material available both online and offline for educationally disadvantage communities. They can practice past questions for all examination and watch our video tutorials at a highly subsidized rate compared to other products in the market helping them to compete adequately with other privilege students of their age.
We employ machine learning to suggest relevant material to student based on their initial choice and their performance in the quiz.
We intend to reach 1,000,000 students active subscriber in the next 12 months, giving us a revenue of 1billion Naira ($2 million) at the rate of 1,000 Naira ($2) per year per student (Similar service cost like 20 times this amount).
In the next five years we want to make available over 10,000,000 learning tablet which has all our educational resources embedded for students of all ages across different languages.
We are looking at the number of students or pupils that are currently onboard from low income earning area. We also see how much they have improve in their learning by the virtue of access to our application.
When educational resource becomes available and affordable it will definitely bridge the literacy gap between the few privilege and the poor.
It will also drastically reduce the number of out of school children in Nigeria.
Nigeria currently has 10.5 million out of schools children. The economic power of the parent are the major reason pupils are out of school. Providing alternative platform for study will greatly reduce this population.
