While getting breakfast at the Best Western Island Hotel this morning in Lagos, a guy called my name and called me over. He was wearing suit with 2 other guys also wearing suits. The face looked familiar but I couldn't remember where I knew him from. Then he mentioned "Barcamp!" Anthony Fesu. Oh yeah, you are +David Nikoi's friend from Ecobank. "E-Process", he said.
I remembered that he mentored at Barcamp Sunyani 2013. Anthony was in Sunyani then attending the anniversary for Catholic University College in Fiapre. He's part of the class of 2006 and an alumni like +Kofi Kafui Kornu & +Yaw Adu-Gyamfi. He'd been invited to +Barcamp Sunyani as a speed mentor. told his Ecobank colleagues, "you need to know this guy, he's doing an awesome job". He gets peopleto mentor others. His colleagues were impressed.
Anthony went on.
"There were a lot of junior high school students there". We had over 70 students from Dumasua JHS at the event. "One of the students who talked to me said he wanted to be a pilot and how could he go about it". "I realised that he couldn't really understand English well. So he asked me to speak in a local language to him". "If this child can't understand the language of instruction in becoming a pilot, how can he become one?" "I had to let him know that he needed to get the basics right and understand this language more"
