Nigerian Teenage Girls Win Global Tech Competition In Silicon Valley

Victor Mathias  
Updated August 10, 2018

A team of teenage girls representing Nigeria has defeated teams from the United States of America (USA), Spain, Turkey, Uzbekistan and China to win the 2018 Technovation world pitch junior division in San Francisco, USA.

The team Save-A-Soul from Nigeria developed a mobile application called ‘FD Detector’ to tackle the problem of fake pharmaceutical products in the country.

The young Nigerian girls were selected from 2,000 mobile app developers to represent Africa at the world pitch.

This is the first time a Junior Nigerian team will emerge among the finalists to visit Silicon Valley and the Nigerian teenage girls will be pitching their app to investors in Silicon Valley, California.

Technovation is a program that invites girls to identify a problem in their communities and then challenge them to solve them by developing apps.

According to Team Save-A-Soul, Nigeria has one of the largest markets for fake drugs. The teenage girls from Anambra State plan to partner with the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), using the app, to tackle this challenge.

The team, on Thursday night, came first at the finals after facing judges from around the world.

Anambra the light of the entire black race. I expected the girls to even teach people at Silicon Valley few things about tech and subsequently take over the place.

See as the girls fine.

Wen they were going, i already knew they would win.

If it is in Nigeria now, Afonja will say they cheat but as it is in America, u cannot take their hard work away from them.

Things in US are done on merit.

Congrats to our beautiful girls.

Beauty with Brains.

Nwabobo, I hope this is not another ego massaging fake news from you like the waec news you pulled and disrespected Ndigbo. I will have to confirm because this if true is big feat.
Re: Anambra Teenage Girls Win Global Tech Competition In Silicon Valley by Nobody: 5:59pm On Aug 10, 2018
Feeling sober, how did I miss the show on fp already?
Anyway, am glad that finally tech startup innovation hubs are springing up exponentially in the east.

Respect to the likes of cchub, andela who opened the doors.

Was glad watching a documentary on the exploits of farmcrowdy on BBC earlier today.
Even the erstwhile Concord papers of late mko was transformed into a tech incubation hub.
The future is here smiley

The girls can come from Anambra and win a worldwide contest, it simply means that Anambra Schools are world class but may require facilities upgrade and better funding.

Change the title of your thread to reflect the above, so seun and mynd44 can reconsider it for FP.

It is important that our northern bros, understand wat school girl means.

If this girls were to be in the North, they will kidnap them and turn dem to sex slave, rape them and marry dem off to their rapist in the name of islam.

The person that will be doing all this will be one old man that calls himself Emir.

Police will keep quiet.

It is importanat that they take this to learn the meaning of School girl.
