We have celebrated a number of Nigerians in time past and we intend to continue this tradition.


Today, we take a look at Ola Okelola, a young Nigerian who has been outstanding in his little own way.


Ola Okelola works for Facebook as an Engineer and surprisingly he was born in Nigeria.

Olaoluwa Okelola is working as an engineer for social media giant Facebook.


Nigeria is blessed with creative and brilliant minds.


The story of Olaoluwa Okelola shows how a young but talented man can achieve success by being outstanding in his own way.


Nigerian born Okelola is currently living in San Francisco, the USA, and working as a software engineer for social media giant Facebook.


But Olaoluwa’s success is not just pure luck but the result of good education and hard work.


From September 1996 till December 2000, he attended the International School in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital. 


This school is a co-educational institution established by the University of Ibadan in 1963. It was the first of its kind in Nigeria and was founded to provide an environment where children both from within and outside Nigeria could live and learn together thereby fostering racial integration, international friendship and unity.


Later, Olaoluwa went to Avi-Cenna International School in Lagos and finished his secondary education in 2002.


He continued his education at Howard University, Washington DC, where he studied systems and computer science.


In January 2005, Ola joined Microsoft as explorer intern, but left it in August the same year for Google where he worked as an engineering intern.


In 2007, he joined Facebook and he has been working there up till date.


Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, and Okelola seem to be enjoying a great working relationship.


Zuckerberg, who is currently the 6th richest man in the world, has recently shared a picture from a prank played on him by his employee.

Where great men resides a Nigerian is involved, this shows that Nigerians are also great with brilliant ideas
