Subject: [WikiEducator] WikiEducator User Page Expo (UPE) Winner for March 2013: Ibrahim Oyekanmi
The WikiEducator User Page Expo ("UPE" to its friends) is an ongoing event to acknowledge WikiEducator user pages that are particularly informative, innovative, visually appealing, or otherwise just plain clever.
We are very happy to announce that Ibrahim Oyekanmi, the first from Nigeria, is the WikiEducator User Page Expo winner for March 2013. Let's learn more about him.
Ibrahim Kolawole Oyekanmi (popularly known as "Mallamibro" to friends) is the Principal IT Lecture in his own company, the Mallamibro ICT Academy in Kano, Nigeria. He has taught at different levels from Nursery and primary schools to Polytechnic. He is a member of IEEE and the Computer Science Teachers' Association. Currently he is teaching computer application packages ranging from the Microsoft Suite (2003 & 2007) in his Computer Training Academy in Kano, Nigeria. As an information technology educator, he dreams of to see as many people as possible become Computer literate. To achieve his dream, he puts his belief into practice through Wikieducator, which he re-affirms is one way of "training the trainers". As a contribution to community, he runs a local NGO "Youth Progressive Peace & Justice Forum" (YPPJF) to offer occupational skills to youths in his locality. This NGO organizes a quarterly Tuition-free training programme in which 25 participants are trained in basic computer appreciation skills like Word-processing, Desktop Publishing, Basic Data management and Graphic Design. Participants also participate in lectures on basic human rights, what they are and how to protect them. They have trained over 400 youths from various programmes of the YPPJF. There is yet another feather to his cap, being E-Mentor for "Teachers-Without-Border's Certificate of Teaching Mastery Program". Mallamibro feels that he is at his best when involved with a class that is actively involved in activities. He reflects, "...Knowledge acquisition and sharing is one big joy of life, who would wish for life without knowledge?..."
Please join us in congratulating the very talented Ibrahim Oyekanmi.
Warm wishes,Dr. Nellie Deutsch and Ramesh Sharma
