In March 2022, On the International Women’s Day, I presented a talk “Open Mapping Tech for women in Climate Crisis” which gave an insight into what it takes for wonen to participate in mapping by leveraging on some of these applications so that their voices can be heard by the larger society/world. I was able to interact with some women from other countries. The program was anchor by Uniquemappers network Nigeria.

The Talks that wept me off my feet was that of which Willy Franck presented. Titled”How OSM Changed My Life”. He has developed an app/software so to say that could place everyone on the map. With it, be it a carpenter, the hairstylist etc will be on the map ( locations & attributes are very important In mapping) Indeed, his work is really without leaving anyone behind.

I left my home in Nigeria, 16th November, 2019. I boarded a vehicle on the 17th November, 2019. On getting to the end of Nigeria border, we could not cross over to Benin Republic. We wasted a lot of time in this place. Cross over to Benin Republic, we spent 3 days instead of 6 hours or less than that.
