Create your own jobs. I created a community/skateboard magazine in Nigeria using various social media platforms. It's called @GOSKATENIGERIA. I've been able to bring people that share the same enthusiasm about the sport (skateboarding) in Nigeria. And now we have on going projects like 'construction of a skate park' in Abuja. Nigerian youth have to be encouraged to use the tools they have been given to create change...and stop relying on the government.

Check out @goskatenigeria on instagram and Twitter, its a community and lifestyle magazine built and run by Nigerian skateboarder Lukman Abdulrahman. If you're looking for boards, tips, other local skateboarders...look no further.
