Campaign Story

Hello everyone,My name is Usman Jamiu, and I’m a young Nigerian passionate about building a better future through tech. I’m currently learning website development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and planning to dive into React, WordPress, and full-stack skills) so I can start freelancing, create websites for small businesses, and eventually build my own tech career here in Nigeria.Right now, I’m facing a big challenge: I don’t have a reliable laptop to practice coding, run development tools (like VS Code, browsers with multiple tabs, local servers), or complete online courses and projects properly. Using a phone or borrowed/shared devices is very limiting—it slows me down, makes it hard to code for long hours, and stops me from progressing fast.I need a decent laptop (minimum specs: at least Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5, 8GB RAM, SSD storage) to:

  • Install and run coding software smoothly
  • Build and test real websites
  • Take structured online bootcamps and certifications
  • Start taking on small freelance gigs to become self-reliant

This isn’t just about getting a gadget—it’s about investing in my skills to escape limitations, create value for others (like building affordable websites for Naija businesses), and support my family in the long run. Once I get the laptop, I’ll commit to sharing my progress, learning journey, and even free tips for others starting in tech.Any amount you can contribute will bring me closer to this goal—whether ₦1,000 or more. Your support means the world and will be used directly for the laptop purchase (I’ll share receipts/updates here).Thank you for believing in my dream. God bless you, and let’s build Naija’s tech future together!
