Mark Zuckerberg Introduces 11-Year-Old Nigerian, Tayo, Who Built A Game
Founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg has expressed his profound thoughts about Tayo’s ingenuity, an 11-year-old Nigerian game developer who developed a game now selling at the IOS App store.
According to a post on his Facebook page, the 32-year-old dad said he is looking forward to future projects by the youngster.
”This is Tayo. He’s 11 and he recently showed me a game he built called Spike Rush.
”I got my first computer when I was Tayo’s age, and just like him I started out coding games. I’ve always thought building simple games was the gateway to building more complex apps.
”My first games were simpler than Tayo’s, but no matter your level, there’s nothing like playing something you built yourself.
”Spike Rush is available in the IOS App Store. I’m looking forward to seeing what Tayo builds next!”
Recall that a few days ago, Zuckerberg, the world’s 5th richest person, visited Nigeria (read here) and met young developers, entrepreneurs and entertainers.
His two visits to Nigeria were unannounced and this left fans in awe of his simplicity.
