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? Why not offer these valuable skills in a language that truly connects with people? That idea became the heart of Flowdiary’s mission. Teaching in Hausa isn’t just a smart move—it’s a necessity. Imagine trying to learn complex tech concepts in a language you barely understand. It’s like trying to find your way without a map. By offering c...

Isn't it fascinating how our planet is painted with over 6,000 languages?  6,000. Huh! Muhammad Auwal Ahmad (Mohiddeen) CEO Flowdiary Take a closer look at Nigeria, and you'll find a colorful tapestry of 525 tribes stretching from the Northern to the Southern parts of the country. This makes Nigeria the country with the most tribes and languages in the world. Well, Nigeria spent 40 years under British rule, during which the British merged the Northern and Southern regions and made English the official language. That's how English became the common tongue, despite the rich tapestry of major languages in the country including Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, etc. However, for a nation of 220 million people or thereabout, with Hausa boasting over 50 million speakers domestically and a staggering 150 million globally, a question arises: shouldn't digital literacy, the key to navigating our increasingly digital world, be accessible in the language closest to their hearts – Hausa? Histor...

  We are working on a mega project to reduce joblessness in Nigeria, primarily the northern region, by teaching the core knowledge, adoption and implementation of digital skills among youths for self-reliance at our digital learning platform, Flowdiary . This eLearning platform is an EdTech startup that teaches digital skills in Hausa language for reliance. It's a huge task hardly to be accomplished by a small group of people, it needs cooperation from different aspects to achieve the goal of empowering youths through digital skills. Being in the world of tech for almost a decade, and because I have a passion and zeal for helping my fellow youngsters with the little I have through training, mentorship, and support, I have tried to cover these in less than 3 years:   In September 2019, I authored a 110-page eBook called eBillions Mastery which talks about the legitimate ways to earn money on the internet by adopting some lucrative digital skills and gave it for free to my fello...

He was the grandfather of Aliko Dangote, owner of Dangote Group and the richest person in Africa. Dantata died in 1955 in Kano city.      Albert Einstein Albert ...
