How Flowdiary Helps Northern Youths Build Careers in the Tech Industry

Northern Nigeria is a region full of potential, with countless young people who have big dreams but often lack the tools to achieve them. This is where Flowdiary comes in, a platform created to break barriers and open doors by teaching digital skills that can change lives. When we started Flowdiary , it was just a few of us with a handful of courses and a passion to make a difference. The challenge was clear: many young people here face more than just financial constraints. The language barrier is a major issue. Most online learning platforms use English, which makes it hard for many to learn effectively. So, we asked ourselves: Why not teach in Hausa?

No one deserved to be the father of computer except Charles Babbage, his biography is given below: Charles Babbage was born in London Dec. 26, 1791, St. Stephan day, in London. He was son of Benjamin Babbage, a banking partner of the Praeds who owned the Bitton Estate in Teignmouth and Betsy Plumleigh Babbage. It was about 1808 when the Babbage family decided to move into the old Rowdens house, located in East Teignmouth, and Benjamin Babbage became a warden of the nearby church of St. Michael. The father of Charles was a rich man, so it was possible for Charles to receive instruction from several elite schools and teachers during the course of his elementary education. He was about eight when he had to move to a country school to recover from a dangerous fever. His parents sentenced that his "brain was not to be taxed too much"; Babbage wrote: "this great idleness may have led to some of my childish reasonings." Then, he joined King Edward VI Grammar School ...
