    What a story. From a dusty village in the southeastern part of Nigeria to rubbing shoulders with some of the best in tech innovation in the country and the world. This guy has passion i can't even phantom. He created a PC app on his mobile phone and at such a very young age! They say you are only limited by your desire. The Nigerian tech scene is screaming for people like this who can provide solutions to the myriads of problems facing the country. I hope dot Learn takes Elvis Chidera's career to the next level.
