The founder and CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg took to his official Facebook Page to showcase and promote an App by a 11 year old Nigerian boy, Tayo. In his words:

This is Tayo. He's 11 and he recently showed me a game he built called Spike Rush.

I got my first computer when I was Tayo's age, and just like him I started out coding games. I've always thought building simple games was the gateway to building more complex apps. My first games were simpler than Tayo's, but no matter your level, there's nothing like playing something you built yourself.

Spike Rush is available in the iOS App Store. I'm looking forward to seeing what Tayo builds next!

Great one from Mark, our government should up their games in developing the youth; not collection of taxes only.

why can't govt acquire technical village in 6geopolitical zones let guys grow & network there.

why can't govt collaborate with state govt and private individuals in setting up farms in the 6geopolitical zones.

Government still have business in business only with a little ownership restructuring

K

Indeed Nigeria has it all.

Nice one.

Despite all this, our country is still a mess

I hear that PMB was very impressed by Mark Z. He should most especially be impressed by leaders of Mark Z's country that were able to create the enabling environment for honest hardworking people to thrive and succeed. Unlike African leaders that create societies were only crooks thrive and succeed

Why does Mark always have the same _stupid smile in all his pictures? It looks ridiculous! He should at least switch things up and not act like a boring old man.

Proud of you boy!

The young man Tayo, is one step ahead of APC government. He has a App on Apple store..
