My first experience as a digital marketer was in 2015. I created a personal development blog on Blogger that racked up hundreds of thousands of views. It got me into places I wouldn't have gotten into. I remember doing online promotion for an OAP (On Air Personality) that worked for Nigeria info. Blogging was the game changer for me as it exposed me to a lot of positive and impactful information in a short period.

I got to understand Sales, online and offline marketing, Growth Strategies, Social Media, Leadership principles and how to start and grow a business using the various digital tools we have.

About 4 months after I left Lagos for Jos in 2017, I was informed by the then community manager at nhub that there was going to be a digital marketing training and I would be among the people participating, I had no idea what I was up against. I got to the training and the Instructor was Amba, a Google Digital Skills trainer under Konverge Media. She was amiable and had an ambience of what I got to know later as the "Konverge Feeling". Before this time, I had already completed a course on Digital Marketing with Success Academy so I knew pretty much about digital marketing and hands-on experience from blogging.

I was quite prepared even though I had no idea what I was going into. I kept answering the questions Amba threw until she was fed up of me answering questions. The second day of the TTT-Train The Trainer, was for presentation. Each of the participants was expected to present in front of the class and questions were thrown from the facilitator and other participants. I was the first person that volunteered though I wasn't the best presenter. I learned a lot from some of the guys that went after me but I gave it my all and this made me move to the next stage in becoming a Digital Skills trainer. 

The next stage was to get the certificate of achievement for the completion of The Fundamental of Digital Marketing.

I went on to get the same Certificate but for the Google Digital Garage program and certificates in Analytics, Search Engine Optimization, Social Media and blogging.

What is Google Digital Skills for Africa?  It is a Google initiative in conjunction with various training partners across Africa to train young people in digital skills. After achieving its goal of training one million, Google has set its sights on training 10 million people with free digital skills to upskill them to close the digital knowledge gap and to improve employability/aid job creation. I am excited that 2 years later, I am still one of the field soldiers driving this change.


I have trained over 5000 people across Nigeria; having conducted trainings in Lagos, Abuja, Plateau, Bauchi, Kaduna, Akwa Ibom. I have met, interacted and trained students in the prestigious Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria; Veritas University, Abuja; Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi; University of Jos; University of Abuja; Plateau State University, Bokkos; Plateau State Polytechnic and a host of other places.

Occasionally, Google organizes Digital Skills Trainer Development Summits and workshops aimed at helping trainers understand their audience better and improve their presentation skills. In one of such summits held in Abuja, there were young brilliant Nigerians including me from all over the country who were doing amazing things in various sectors across the country in attendance. The summit shifted my mindset about the Digital Skills Program, it made me understand how important a trainer was and how we can use this platform to drive real change and close the digital skills gap in Africa.
