Dear Friends,

The WikiEducator User Page Expo ("UPE" to its friends) is an ongoing event to acknowledge WikiEducator user pages that are particularly informative, innovative, visually appealing, or otherwise just plain clever.

We are very happy to announce that  Ibrahim Oyekanmi, the first from Nigeria, is the WikiEducator User Page Expo winner for March 2013. Let's learn more about him.

 

Ibrahim Kolawole Oyekanmi (popularly known as "Mallamibro" to friends) is the Principal IT Lecture in his own company, the Mallamibro ICT Academy in Kano, Nigeria. He has taught at different levels from Nursery and primary schools to Polytechnic. He is a member of IEEE and the Computer Science Teachers' Association. Currently he is teaching computer application packages ranging from the Microsoft Suite (2003 & 2007) in his Computer Training Academy in Kano, Nigeria. As an information technology educator, he dreams of to see as many people as possible become Computer literate. To achieve his dream, he puts his belief into practice through Wikieducator, which he re-affirms is one way of "training the trainers". As a contribution to community, he runs a local NGO "Youth Progressive Peace & Justice Forum" (YPPJF) to offer occupational skills to youths in his locality. This NGO organizes a quarterly Tuition-free training programme in which 25 participants are trained in basic computer appreciation skills like Word-processing, Desktop Publishing, Basic Data management and Graphic Design. Participants also participate in lectures on basic human rights, what they are and how to protect them. They have trained over 400 youths from various programmes of the YPPJF. There is yet another feather to his cap, being E-Mentor for "Teachers-Without-Border's Certificate of Teaching Mastery Program". Mallamibro feels that he is at his best when involved with a class that is actively involved in activities. He reflects, "...Knowledge acquisition and sharing is one big joy of life, who would wish for life without knowledge?..."

Please join us in congratulating the very talented Ibrahim Oyekanmi.

Warm wishes,
Dr. Nellie Deutsch and Ramesh Sharma

Dear Mallamibro
Congratulations for the UPE award. I recall you being an active participant of eL4C50 where I was one of the facilitators & had added WikiNeighbour to your infobox.   :-)
I just revisited your nicely developed page. The history shows that you have last updated the page in September 2011. I hope this UPE will motivate you to add more now. Looking forward to your progress.

I say a BIG Thank you all for your kind words.
Our humble efforts at bringing OER to the forefront of Global
education at all levels has certainly found a strong foundation which
I firmly believe will serve as a springboard for making educational
resources Openly available on a wider scale in the nearest future.
Our commitment today is slowly, but certainly influencing the way
educational resources are produced.
And i would also use this opportunity to thank Patricia and other
Facilitators who have always served as the Guiding lights for us all.
I'm proud to be a Wikieducator!
