Meet The 12 Year Old Nigerian Who Created An App To Help Lost Children

Tomisin Jasmin Ogunnubi, a 12 year old student of Vivian Fowler Memorial College Oregun, Lagos; has just developed a fully functional android application in Nigeria.

It has not been the most positive of times in Nigeria considering the current economic climate but every now and then a story will pop up and lift the spirits of the country. Tomisin Ogunnubi from Lagos has provided such a story for her nation in Answers Africa.
The 12-year-old girl from Lagos has developed an app to solve a problem which she had noticed in her community. Tomisin finished up the development of her Android mobile tracking app, My Location, just a few weeks ago.

The motivation behind the app was to help lost children find their way back home.

How it was developed:

Tomision developed her app under the guidence of an Information and Communications Technology partnership, between her school, Vivian Fowler Memorial College for Girls, and New Horizons Computer Learning Center. Here, Tomision was able to learn the necessary skills and knowledge needed to develop her app.

How it works:

The “current location”setting on the app enables the child to see exactly where they are, as well as highlighting the neighboring streets around them. The other main functionality of the app will allow the child to save a location such as their house or school and it will direct them to their desired location.
The My Locator App also features a button, which when pressed will alert the Lagos State Emergency Services. The app will call the services as well as show the child’s location so that they can be helped.

The app is available for free download in Lagos, Nigeria.

Err this is good but did she take note that most of these apps require background data and Nigerians HATE that ish grin

Also how technologically advanced are the kids she's building these for? Can a 9 year old fully understand android usage huh

All the same, welcome development.

At that age, my priority was stealing meat without being caught embarassed

Jasmin Ogunnubi developed an app to help lost children.

She wants to put baby factory developers and kidnappers out of business?

If only this app was available in Bayelsa, Tochukwu would not have developed that girl for money rituals.
