Based Africa Builders & Enthusiasts Meetup, 2024. Throwing it back to the first-ever Base meetup we organised in Africa, which went on to inspire many more meetups, workshops, and community initiatives. We brought together builders, creators, and onchain enthusiasts from across Nigeria for an immersive experience filled with builder & product spotlights, technical sessions, interactive games, networking, and meaningful collaborations. Every detail was intentionaly designed to educate, connect, strengthen the community, and grow the @base ecosystem. This was the beginning of so many amazing things we went on to build on Base. Looking back, I’m incredibly proud of how far we came. What a journey!🥹💙

GM! Happy Taco Tuesday!✨ Wait, am I the only one enjoying this feature on the #LifeOverseas.io game? I lost to Akpos, but who cares?😅 Who else has seen this game and is playing? What’s your username?🤩

LifeOverseas🔥

Okay, first of all, CRAZYYY intro!🤩🔥 Nigerian game devs are really out here fighting to win my heart and making me want to play more games.😂 I absolutely love the diversity and creativity here. Definitely playing this LifeOverseas!🔥

BUILD SOMETHING PEOPLE NEED, CAN USE EASILY, AND ENJOY EVERYDAY! That’s the biggest takeaway y’all should get from Lagos Life’s immense success. Build something that: ➞ Has a low barrier to entry. ➞ The average person can use without needing a tutorial. ➞ Solves a real problem while being fun to use. Lagos Life is literally a new type of social media, but gamified. I saw someone share how she got a paying client for her therapy sessions through the platform. Imagine how much harder it could have been to get that client on the social media platforms we currently use, without running ads or begging people for referrals. And that’s the beauty of it. People aren’t just using Lagos Life for fun; they’re getting real value out of it. Lagos Life is a reminder that you don’t always need to build something complicated. You just need to build something people genuinely want & enjoy using. Well done @Shalom_HeyEliy 👏 PS: I finally found time to get onboard🤭. I want to meet as many people as possible and make money too, y’all OGs on the platform, any recommendations?😁 My username: iamcharis, they said I’m Nepo baby😅.

Nice giveaway & publicity strategy.

Shalom has been making so many smart moves!👑 With this, she’s positioning Lagos Life way ahead of the competition. She knows people are already building similar games to catch up, so releasing an API is such a smart move. She understands that she can’t do it all. She can’t keep stacking feature upon feature to stay ahead or prevent other developers from building something similar. Instead, she’s opening up the ecosystem and giving other builders the tools to create with her. The more people build with the Lagos Life API, the more visibility, adoption, and growth Lagos Life gets. Someone could even build a completely different game or experience, but if it’s powered by Lagos Life’s API, they’re still contributing to the growth of her ecosystem. She’s moving from just building a game to building an ecosystem that other people can build on. That’s a whole different level of thinking.🔥

Throwing it back to 2023, we; @web3ladies got a grant from @yellowcard_app to help us continue empowering our ladies with Web3 skills & work tools. It was a happy moment for both the community and myself, was also my first time speaking to the Press😄. Definitely one of those moments I’ll always look back on fondly.😊
