I think it has been 2, 3…. Hmm maybe 4. I kid

It feels good to be on this space again. Having joined in on a training and practiced with the RapID, as well as the JOSM mapwithai plugin, I am delighted to be mapping task #12315 Imagery for Social Good - Bauchi, Nigeria.

Working on #4358 - Tanzania Development Trust: Mwanza West Community Mapping Project as a task for LetGirlsMap. I have also made contributions to task #3584 - Mapping for Flooding Emergency Intervention and Support #NRCSkano in Nigeria.

Currently working on task #108 - Bajo Cauca - Emergencia HidroItuango

It’s been a while i mapped. I’m glad the network is better now. Currently working on #4525 - 2018 Ebola #8, Mbandaka (E Av. Revolution), DRC

I just began my contribution to hot task #4490 Beledweyne, Somalia-2018 Flood Crisis Project 01. I hope to map a reasonable number of buildings and roads so there can be effective response.

The Unique Mappers, Port Harcourt, contributed in task #580 Westwood Middle School- Ondangwa, Africa, mapping over 50 buildings and over 45buildings for #hotosm-task-606 #BHOOT #Missing maps. Buildings were also mapped in Rivers State and Bayelsa State, Nigeria.

 Today was full of activities with the unique mappers, Port Harcourt. We had a small celebration in respect to the Metrics Award. We took some pictures  with these respectable person's who have contributed to the growth of the Unique Mappers Team,  making visible the Youth Mappers' banner and the certificate of Award.            

Professor Umeudeji, Professor Mmom, Prof Emenike, Dr Vincent Weli, Dr. Wizor, all in the Department of Geography and Environmental Management, University of Port Harcourt, were recognized. The Unique Mappers were also with the Director of The Information and Communication Center, UNIPORT. We had a fun time. The team finished off with Presentations by select members. Research and compilation put together, I was able to prepare power point presentations on the topics “HOT tasks for Vulnerable Communities in Nigeria”, “Citizen Science “ and “OSM Analytics” all of which were sent to the unique mappers team email address. I was actually able to present the work on “HOT tasks for Vulnerable Communities in Nigeria”. My presentation was before the Unique Mappers and present were the team coordinator, Mr Sunday Victor, the Team President, Chuwudubem, and the team secretary general, Blessing.

     I was introduced to Opensteetmap by the Unique Mappers Team (UMT) Port Harcourt at the #1 MAPATHON training led by Mr Sunday Victor. He showed how to get registered on Openstreetmap and how to map. For the training, we (those available for the training) worked on project 400 using osm which involved mapping features such as buildings and roads in The University of Port Harcourt and I was added to the Let's Map Our World whatsapp group. From the group, I got to know about The STALL CATCHERS. I participated in the worldwide Catchathon which helped Alzheimer's research. I had a wonderful time catching stalls with the Unique Mappers Team. It was a really fun experience and I enjoyed the pizza.
     I participated in osm task #project-3530 #MXEarthquake 2017 with the guidance of UMT. Alone, I attempted #project-3443 Sierra leone - Regent, Kamayama, Kaningo- Landslide affected area using OpenStreetMap but failed to edit and save  the changeset.
    I have also worked on #project-4370 #mappingperi-urban areas, Lusaka. Mapping this area was successful. 
    I met with the coordinator of Unique Mappers Team, Mr Sunday Victor on Monday 23rd April 2018 for a formal interview and registration as a full member of Unique Mappers Team, Port Harcourt.I am indeed glad to be a Unique Mapper Team member. So far, it's been fun and I know there's a lot more. I'm willing to dedicate my time and passion to mapping the world as long as it does not make me go down academically. This I strongly doubt because I love mapping as well as my course of study, Geography and Environmental Management. I believe spending reasonable time on both will actually help me improve on both. Thanks to OpenStreetMap and my field of study, I'll get to know and map, and soon, visit different parts of the world.
